    570: The Mandalorian and Grogu Cast Interviews - Lateef Crowder, Jonny Coyne & Matthew Willig

    This week we're bringing you the first round of actor interviews we recorded at Rebel Scum Con 2026: The Mandalorian and Grogu stars Lateef Crowder (Din Djarin stunt performer), Matt Willig (Hogsbreth), and Jonny Coyne (Lord Janu)! Lateef Crowder takes us beneath the beskar to the Mandalorian's action scenes. He reveals that he sweated through two suits a day while filming The Mandalorian and Grogu, takes us inside the film's incredible ice-base battle, and recalls fighting Giancarlo Esposito during the unforgettable Darksaber duel in The Mandalorian S2. "Giancarlo does not play!" Next, Jonny Coyne reveals how his own name inspired the Imperial warlord Janu Coin. He recalls running up the Razor Crest ramp, filming with old-school practical effects, and shares Lord Janu's secret to surviving when so many other Star Wars villains have fallen: "You just become a rat!" Finally, Matthew Willig discusses becoming Hogsbreth, Lord Janu's towering Iktotchi enforcer. He is an intimidating 6' 8" in real life, but sweet as can be. The lifelong Star Wars fan shares what it was like transforming through horns and prosthetics, and why remaining menacing around an adorable, lifelike Grogu was nearly impossible. We also revisit his memorable role as Little Chino on Dexter.

    569: Kevin Kiner & more Composers from SDCC 2026

    San Diego Comic-Con was a blast! During the event, we spoke with an incredible lineup of composers about the music of AHSOKA S1 & S2, the upcoming VISIONQUEST, SUPERGIRL, BRIDGERTON, and SPIDER-NOIR. Our guests include Kevin, Sean, and Deana Kiner, who discuss Thrawn's theme, Ahsoka's theme, and offer a few AHSOKA Season 2 nuggets.   Then we attended the 12th Annual Musical Anatomy of a Superhero panel, moderated by Michael Giacchino, and were able to speak with all four of the following composers in a press roundtable after the panel. Mick Giacchino previews the "playful, quirky, and wacky" score for Marvel's upcoming Disney+ series VISIONQUEST. Claudia Sarne takes us behind the music and drama of SUPERGIRL. Then Kris Bowers and Michael Dean Parsons discuss two vastly different scores: BRIDGERTON and SPIDER-NOIR. Did they score Spider-Noir in black and white? Let's find out!

    567: "What Can We Say Except…Somehow, Palpatine Returned!"

    This episode is a potpourri of things we want to share, as we recount the hilariously unpredictable Rise of Skywalker Celebrity Live Read and review Disney's live-action Moana, with some trivia thrown in for fun! The George Lucas Talk Show returned to Dynasty Typewriter on July 11 to stage a live reading of the original Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker film. The production featured an incredible cast of comedians and actors putting their own spin on Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo Ren, Emperor Palpatine, and more. The all-star cast included Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live, Single Parents), Lou Wilson (Dimension 20, Jimmy Kimmel Live!), Vic Michaelis (Very Important People, PONIES), Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, The Goldbergs), Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother, The Avengers), Paul F. Tompkins (BoJack Horseman, Mr. Show), Missi Pyle (Galaxy Quest, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), and surprise guest Rich Sommer (Mad Men, The Devil Wears Prada) as Force ghost Luke Skywalker. You can watch at swliveread.com. Sarah then shares her review of Disney's live-action Moana. How does this new interpretation compare with the beloved animated film? We discuss the cast, music, breathtaking scenery, expanded mythology, and whether this remake successfully recaptures the heart of the original. Read her full review here. Finally, we test your knowledge with a round of Disney live-action remake trivia. How well do you know Disney's reimagined classics?
