SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!!

Tonight we continue our movie series where we talk about a major blockbuster and spoil the heck out of it and give our thoughts.

We now have done all 3 of the new Star Wars movies and Ben Pinchback and Keith Ferguson join Dan and Chris for Ep 9 Rise Of Skywalker.

We talk about the whole movie and also what we thought of the 3 new movies and of course RANK all the Star Wars movies.

And an additional Spoiler Alert we never actually get to the Mandalorian as we would like to have.

So be ready in a future episode for that!

A Couple of Video’s for you… As I mentioned Bad Lip Reading videos which are funny on the show, here they are… I would like to try and put the Trailers for all 9 movies on a thread I think those would be cool to look at now that the movies are over. (for now)   What your Ranking of the movies???

News/whatever 

Portal Games announces brand new expansion to Empires of the North: Roman Banners The expansion, to be published in 1Q 2020, includes two brand new Roman decks and additional island cards. “The Roman factions will give even greater replayability to players as they bring fresh new mechanics of developing an empire and introduce a fantastic Roman theme” says CEO Ignacy Trzewiczek. Details and pricing information will be announced at a later date.  

Frosthaven Announcement

Check out this post has some good Pics of cards Don’t have to read the thread just look at the 2 picture links in the 1st post

Here’s a good post for everyone to get summary of the Q and A with Isaac  

Mandalorian (possible spoilers if  you have not watched)   The Big issue I am having— episodes are WAY too damn short.

It wasn’t quite as annoying early now it’s feeling real bad.  

Last few episodes talk… 

3  “The Sin”–Think we predicted this one.

4 “Sanctuary” — 7 Samurai / Magnificent 7 feel to it.

5 “The Gunslinger”  —Tatooine People have a bit of backlash on this one. 

Why? IT feels filler in a way, short again.– But I like it.

I think it would like it MORE if the season wasn’t over in 3 episodes.  

Ghostbusters 3 Trailer! “It has a gunner’s seat?”

Hell yeah it does.   Wonder Woman 1984 Trailer! (YEs the Mandalorian is one of the Villains– Maxwell Lord) The Boys Season 2 Trailer  Harley Quinn Trailer (NSFW) Show is REAL good, adult animated meta. Poison IVY steals the show
