It’s time to examine the first live-action Star Wars show: The Mandalorian Season 1! In this episode we will dig deep into its themes, characters, and what makes it just so darn enjoyable. Nick wasn’t able to make it this time so I am once again joined by William Coldwell of The 21st Rewrite podcast, a screenplay analysis show on films released during 2000 onward.

If you want to listen to more of William, you can visit his website and listen to the episode I guested on where we dissected The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey directed by Peter Jackson.

Cube Command’s Tommy Savoia was interviewed on the official Blubrry show Podcast Insider. Hosted by Todd Cochrane and Mike Dell, this podcast is dedicated to covering new developments and meeting all sort of figures in the podcast industry!
