    X-Men '97: Finding the balance between keeping the magic alive and delivering something new

    It's time for the 197th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about X-Men '97 as part of a bigger discussion on sequels, reboots and remakes, a never-ending topic of discussion given what Hollywood tends to churn out these days! What is the magic formula for finding the essence of an IP yet creating something wholly new with it? Does the new X-Men series achieve this? How? Let's really get into the weeds here.

    'Tales of the Empire': Star Wars giving us the unexpected

    'Tales of the Empire': Star Wars giving us the unexpected

    On the 196th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- kick things off by talking about the Star Wars Holiday Special (!?!). They then touch on the latest Stars Wars headlines, including The Phantom Menace re-release and Star Wars' own spin on "What If" before focusing in on the latest "The Acolyte" trailer and why this series has some corners of the Internet up in arms (hint: trolls) but also why it looks like a breath of fresh air. The main discussion after that is a review of "Tales of the Empire," the new micro-series that landed last weekend. One tiny spoiler about our discussion: It's good when Star Wars can still surprise us.

    Welcome to the 195th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! On this week's show, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- get into the weeds a little on some news -- particularly the re-release of "The Phantom Menace" -- before dedicating the bulk of the show to "Bad Batch" reactions. The series has now concluded. Was it a good conclusion? Was it a good show? And what lessons can we take away from the narrative? Let's get into it!

    'Outlaws' ... UGH ... Also, two more episodes to go: Place your bets on how 'Bad Batch' will end!

    On this, the 194th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- venture into some "Star Wars Outlaws" paywall discussion (after Dave pimps out "Empire of Dreams" and "Ahsoka" and Fredo waxes poetic about "Fallout." Following the "Outlaws" debate, the crew settles into some "Bad Batch" discussion. We're two episodes away from the end of the series. What are the current highlights? And where do we think this will end up? Everyone place your bets now!

    'Bad Batch' is still offering the occasional surprise, but will it stick the landing?

    'Bad Batch' is still offering the occasional surprise, but will it stick the landing?

    For the 192nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about Aaron's brush with fame, recent news involving "Tales of the Empire," the horror (yes, horror) of watching 24 straight hours of Star Wars, and finally the most recent three episodes (S3, E9-11) of "Bad Batch," also know as the arc where the s*** hits the fan. With a month before the conclusion of the series, there is very little time left to give the fans what they want. Is the conclusion going to soar or flop?
