Skeleton Crew episodes 5-8

Foreign.

My name is Corey and I am a Star War.

And my name is Corey, and I am also a Star War.

And I think for tonight my name is also Corey because I'm living undercover.

And this is a Star War and.

We are a Star Wars.

So today, possibly hearing our fun dogs run around.

No dogs.

Dog free.

The people in the suite above us in East Nashville, Suites in Nashville.

Oh, they are hooked up.

Taking the podcast on the road.

They're really enjoying basketball or something.

So we found a brothel.

There is no.

We are beneath it.

Yeah, somebody's having a good time upstairs yelling, let's go.

So anyway, today we're going to talk about Skeleton Crew episodes five through eight and wrap up of our thoughts on what we thought of this season.

From what I understand, it was a limited series, right?

There's.

It was like a one and done.

Like, oh, boy, was it.

Things to talk about.

Boy, was it limited.

All right, well, let's go over.

Do you want to start with overall thoughts?

No, sure.

Save it for the end.

Okay.

I don't know.

All right, let's save it for the end.

You start with let's run through some run throughs here.

Episode five was called you have a lot to learn about pirates and the kids.

Let's see the parents try to send a message, but it's foiled by a droid.

And the droid trying to delete.

This is long.

This is bad.

They're often all long.

Let's just say this is way too long.

Let's just say the episode names and then just jump right in it.

Cath.

There was someone named Cath.

There was a giant slug thing.

Episode five was the mud mountains.

Oh, they went to the spa.

Spa town.

And they found the actual, like, treasure.

Treasure.

Yeah.

Finally.

No, no.

They found the way to the treasure.

The treasure was on AD Aden.

Here is where they found how to get to the treasure.

They found the treasure on this planet.

But they found.

They went the acid water, remember?

And then lock the door.

Right.

And that's the coordinates to head at and learn that the treasure is an old mint.

Yeah, but they don't find treasure.

They did find the treasure.

They did the whole thing.

Like, treasure room was what?

That's where they found the lights.

You don't remember?

That's where he finds a lightsaber.

Because the data port looked like a.

A roast or something or ham or some.

A meat on the table.

Because they're like, why does this look so different from all the other stuff?

And they lifted.

Oh, and they were like, not this one.

This one's for One Eyed Willie.

And then later, someone did touch it.

And then there's a booby trap.

No, it's down here.

It's our time down here.

My bad.

Down here in a minute.

No, you have.

It was called Skeleton.

Yeah, you saw it just recently.

Some booty traps.

That's what I said.

Booty traps.

Booty trap.

By the way, whatever.

Whatever transpires in the rest of the show.

I do want to say that Goonies is one of.

One of the perfect movies.

It's a good one.

I enjoy it.

It's a.

It's a like a flawless movie.

I love everything about it.

It was in the theater last week for Fandango events.

Fathom events.

And I didn't go.

I should have.

It's like two days.

Well, you can still watch it at the house.

Yeah, but I'm talking about.

It was in theaters when?

Earlier.

All right, anything else about that?

So five.

They.

That's the one where KB is like, I can't go down there.

I'll.

My will be up.

That's exactly how she said it.

And then my.

Don't let my get up.

But then they got chased because it was like.

No.

The bounty got called in on him by what we can only assume was one of his ex lovers that he told a different name to.

Yeah, it was like Dash Rendar.

So then they found a treasure under the acid water, and I would like to kill the few of the crew.

All right.

So that.

That I thought that they killed the entire pirate.

Apparently they only killed like 2 or 3 of the people we'd never seen before.

Right.

Because I thought it was like all of them.

There's an awful lot of them.

And on that.

And then they all show up in the next episode.

And I was like, wait a minute.

Yeah, okay.

All right.

Well, I guess they got a lot of die.

They got a lot of spares.

Yeah.

So that.

That's.

That's what happens in episode six.

Well, before we move on to episode six, Whim does have a fun little moment with the lightsaber.

What happened?

He almost burned his dick.

Oh, right.

He almost burned his dick off.

She surrounded his baby dick and it.

Launched him across the room.

Yeah, yeah.

And then the episode ends with Jude Law's character striking the lightsaber off camera to where we didn't get to see what color the saber was.

Right?

Correct.

You just hear it.

So I have something to say about that as we talk about the next episode.

Okay.

Episode 6 synopsis.

Episode 6 is titled Zero Friends Again.

This one was directed by Bryce Dallas Howard.

This is the best episode in the series, in my opinion.

They're captured by the pirates.

They take them back to Brutus for execution.

They drop out of the bottom of the layers.

This one where they had to crab people and all that stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, crab people.

They recover the onyx cinder and get back on there and save their friends before they get eaten by trash crabs.

Oh, oh.

That was where they, like, the ship gets stuck and then it, like, pulls out and it's a better cooler ship inside that ship.

Interesting.

Have some.

So it was just always there and they were like, one day.

Apparently, that was how to become too.

The other pirate hit it, right.

He stole the ship.

The ad at and ship and.

And.

Hey, sky, remember in the last episode when everything was going over my oh, professor smart brain is back again across the table.

It doesn't went over my head.

He was hiding him named Jif.

The fellas upstairs have stopped listening to their basketball game and are keenly listening to our podcast.

Oh, goodness.

Welcome, welcome.

Hello.

Let's go.

As they were saying the part where.

He fixes KB's brain, he has to pull her circuits out and makes a little thing.

That was cool.

That was my favorite part.

I liked it.

It's one of those things where, like, remember in one of our recent episodes where I was like, how do they always just know what buttons they're supposed to press when they enter somewhere?

Like in episode eight?

Well, last night I was rewatching it, and he just read it over and very calmly and with a lot of authority, presses a button and speaks to the entire land of Ad At.

And it was sort of the thing which I guess if she had had some corrosions before and was like, I gotta fix this fuse.

We just happen to be sitting here in the sand and we can make a mold.

I was just like, how?

Mm.

Come on.

So you're saying that was a How the hell.

How the hell.

I did think it was cool, but it was a hell the hell.

I felt like it was a nice nod to, like, the original trilogy focuses on buttholes.

Okay.

Why?

That's your card.

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

Boom.

Because.

Because, you know when he fingers the dirt and makes the hole and then pours it in the hole and it comes out and it's a perfect mold of the hole.

I've said enough.

I've said too much.

Is that enough for that episode?

We can do it.

We can discuss it all later.

So the trash crabs were like, oh, we'll help you.

Come over here and meet our giant crab and it will eat you.

Yep.

Follow jerks.

Follow mine.

Yeah, they speak.

They speak English.

Episode seven.

We're going to be in so much Trouble.

That was a title.

They sent a transmission in outer space for Manhattan, but then the pirates arrive at the same time, and they're trying to get.

The pirate's name is Glurb.

He goes in the barrier, but he blows up Jod, kills Brutus.

The barrier recognizes the onyx center and lets it through, yada, yada.

He pretends to be a Republic emissary, and everybody's like, cool, we believe you.

And then the kids go and meet their parents again.

Does he see the.

The.

The mint at the end?

He goes in, he does a little thing with the mint.

The mint starts falling into his hands.

Yeah.

Their parents.

And then he comes out and flashes a lightsaber.

Yeah, blue.

Which was blue.

Blue.

Who.

Whose lightsaber you think?

Jeff's.

I thought you had something.

Are you just upset that it's not red or something?

But, I mean, I realize when.

That's more the last episode.

So what's the last episode summary?

The real good guys, I think that they ran around on their speeder bikes again.

And then the New Republic shows up, but this time would be wings.

So we're supposed to be excited.

I mean, I was.

I know.

I was, too.

But again, it was like, all right, you got me.

You got a Bree wing.

I would love to see a B wing again.

Thank you.

Is there only, like.

Because it was, like, the same dude, like Carson or whatever his name is.

Is he the only pilot?

He's the one.

It's why the First Order stood a chance.

There's like, 17.

Because there's people working the outer rim.

That's it.

And all of the Republic, there's, like, Carl.

Because every time, 16 of his.

Jeff has got his own squadron.

They're relying on Brown Squadron, which we didn't get the fucking.

Doesn't show up for nothing.

Right?

Listen, you can catch me in the recliner.

That's where I'm gonna be.

And that's why the First Order took over.

Apparently, Jeff and Corey were in the recliner.

Yeah, that's.

That's about what went down.

Brown squad, Brown Squadron, Brown Leader.

Brown Leader, pick up.

We know you're out there.

All right, so are we.

Are we discussing now?

Yes.

Shot down the ship.

And the thing is that, like, I had to go back and Google because after the show was over, the next day, I Was like, what happened to Dumbledore?

Exactly.

I don't remember.

And then I went back and they were like.

They just didn't show.

Exactly.

There was a lot of loose ends.

I felt like, at the end.

Yeah.

So I think that.

Yeah.

That they.

They played.

Dude Law's character, is he or isn't he a good guy or a bad guy?

All the way till the very end?

Because he's watching the pirate ship being shot down by the X Wings, and it's crashing unnecessarily into Astoria, and he's just like, well, these kids, they sure.

They sure pulled it off.

Boy, I am proud of these kids.

And I hated those pirates.

They got what was coming to them, and that's it.

So was he a Jedi?

Was he an emissary?

Was he a good guy, bad guy?

I think he wasn't all the way bad.

I think he was a little both.

Like, he.

He.

I don't think he really wanted to hurt the kids.

He had zero hesitation blowing, sticking his lightsaber in the eye hole of the Supreme Leader.

But I don't think he wanted to hurt the kid.

Was it the eye hole, maybe?

Or was the Supreme Leader just talking out of his ass?

I think that's probably the case, but I don't think he wanted to hurt anybody.

I think he just wanted the fucking gold or the mint or whatever, and he wanted to just chill.

But he also wanted to be in charge of everybody because he told them he was in charge.

But he was also trained by a Jedi and clearly could work the Force.

And I realize you have to bleed your lightsaber.

I guess it's.

It wasn't his lightsaber that he was wielding.

Right?

Right.

So it's not like when Count Dooku grabbed, you know, Kenobi's lightsaber didn't turn red.

Right?

Right.

Because it wasn't his.

But, I mean, Anakin's was still.

Was his blue all the way through the end of that Sith movie.

You never see his turn red.

That's right.

I don't know.

Even after he kills all the younglings.

The fact that the Yinglings.

Yeah.

One after the other.

Yingling, Yingling, Yingling.

But, like, why.

Why did they just not show any kind of closure for his character so.

That the rabid fan base would demand a movie to.

Well, to quote Dolores Umbridge, good luck.

Yeah.

It seems like they just left all kinds of open to be like, hey, here's a whole new universe.

We've invented them.

Well, they didn't.

And they they're like, okay, well, there's no barrier any.

Now there's this goddamn mint that is unprotected, protected.

So then.

And they had like thousands of those caves full of things.

Is that what the thing said to him?

He's like, we have 10 times 11:39 to me.

I need to see if their creators of this show were Green Day fans, because that sounds like the name of their first album.

Dookie.

No, no.

They had two records.

I know it wasn't Dookie.

Dookie.

I think it was one that say Dookie.

I think it.

No, hang on.

But what album are they most known for?

Dookie.

American Idiot.

But after that.

Yeah.

Overall, though, I did like the show.

I think it had some issues.

Like, I mean, some of them we just talked about, you know.

No, sorry.

The record was called 1039, not 1139.

I.

I think it overall had some issues.

I went on a side tangent.

I was just talking about it.

Y'all weren't even listening.

I was.

Listen.

Just took me a minute to find it.

While I was trying to talk.

There were.

I mean, there were some issues.

Some of the things we just laughed at were the name of some of the episodes.

There were some weird VO or not VO but dialogue choices.

And then last night when I was watching it, all the kids are captured.

We got to have a plan.

Jaw is like, you're not going to do anything.

And all of a sudden William just goes, attack.

I just went, Leroy.

Jim said he didn't know what that meant earlier.

Do you know Lee Rodriguez?

Yeah, I saw that video.

No, I didn't know until a few years ago.

Carter told me it's some old freaking hilarious Warcraft video or something.

These bunch of guys are playing online and one of the dudes leaves to go, like, pee or something.

So the guys are all on their headphones and he's like, yeah, blah, blah, blah.

I went to go get some food and some chicken wings or something, so on so forth.

A couple minutes later, dude just sits back down.

He's like, hey, guys, I'm back.

What's the plan?

And then they're all kind of talking.

Well, you go this way, this way, that way.

And this guy, they're planning what.

Who's going to do what weapon, who?

You come in, you do the threatening voice.

And then you do this and it'll do this.

And we're.

They're like, really working hard to coordinate a battle plan.

And then you just see this one lone character charge.

And then this guy just takes off running and they're like, did he.

God damn it, Leroy.

Did he go in there?

All right, guys, new plant.

And they all just have to run in.

And it's so.

That's funny.

It's hilarious.

I was reminded the entire time of almost everything about Guardians of the Galaxy.

They even called themselves Ravagers.

At one point, the ship that like breaks off from the other ship and then it's got a crash and like, I was like, is that the Ravager shipments?

Same ship.

Like, I feel like if you're going to do space pirates, which is part of the Star wars universe that we've not seen before, don't just do Guardians of the Galaxy.

Maybe come up with something more creative.

Where was Hondo Hanaka?

That was another question I was going to ask was what?

There was very little fan service in this unless there were things that I just missed fully expected.

If we were ever going to get Honda, we were going to get it in this series.

Who was this show for?

Was it for the 40, 50 year olds or was it for the 9 year olds?

To the 9 year olds give a about it?

I.

I don't know.

I don't have a nine year old.

Who wants one.

I'm sure there are people out there.

I guess people have a nine year old.

You have a nine year old.

Good for you.

I hope they like this show better than I did.

Right.

Because I mean, it was clearly meant for our generation because of all the callbacks and all of the references and the whole goonian space that, that thesis.

But like, the narrative wasn't geared toward our age bracket, which is fine.

It rarely rose above.

Like spinning is a good move.

Let's try that.

Yeah, I know you'll.

I know you'll finish a race this time, Annie.

Like that whole scene and they were like, let's just do a whole show like that.

I don't like.

I don't like watching children learn lessons.

I just don't.

That's not what I'm here for.

Noted.

Yeah.

Did you.

What did you like about this show?

Did you like anything about the show?

I mean, that Cthulhu character probably had like a really big dong.

You don't think mother crab had the bigger dong?

No, crabs have notoriously tiny penises.

I know it is written in the sacred Jedi text.

We all know that.

But Cthulu's, on the other hand, they're not his.

He.

Yeah, it's hard to know what part of him is the dong, but whichever part it is, it's bigger than you think.

It Ought to be.

That's true.

So I liked that.

So was.

Was Dumbledore a good guy or a bad guy?

I think that he was the DJ character from Last Jedi.

The chaotic neutral.

Don't join either side.

Everybody's an idiot.

I'm just trying to get some money.

Dungeons and Dragons character archetypes.

Yes.

Okay.

All right, noted.

I think he was a good guy that just wanted what was coming.

He just wasn't a good guy.

One of the real good guys.

I think he just wondered what was coming to him, and he didn't want to hurt anybody to get it.

Did he want half.

He just wondered what was coming to him.

I just feel like there was a part, like, at the end where he's, like, standing up on the.

I guess he was at the Mint, maybe because he brought, like, girl and her mom with him.

Yep.

To that point.

And it's like.

Or maybe it was later when they're in the tower.

I don't remember.

But at one point, he's there, he's got his lightsaber, and, like, the kids are actively trying to stop him.

And he doesn't just kill them.

Mm.

And he just killed all of them.

And.

Because he's got a trillion trillion dollars now.

And if.

So, if he was, like, really, truly a bad guy, then faced with the trillion dollar haul of the lifetime, he would kill all these people and just take it.

Like, he would massacre that planet from space and steal that money.

Yeah.

He could have killed them all and then had his own planet with these boys.

Or they could have bounced.

Yeah.

And he could have just been there.

Yeah.

You know, good for him.

I don't know.

It was all right.

But I guess we'll find out in the movie.

Well, what did you.

So you were.

The thing you were wanting to go back to earlier was the lightsaber color.

Yeah.

And just like, was Jude Law's character a good guy or a bad guy?

And you know, why.

Why didn't they have the pirate ship crash into the tower that he was standing on?

Because that's how you get rid of the bad guy in Star wars, is just kill him ambiguously.

But he's just standing there watching the ship go down, and he's like, these kids sure are wily boy.

I guess I'll go hide in a closet until season two, episode two.

One of my other problems.

And I keep.

I keep saying I like it, but then I'm start picking it apart.

So I just don't know that it really advanced the Star wars universe.

It.

It Told you about something that you never knew existed before.

Did you know there's a planet that you can't see and it's not been involved in any storyline ever?

I actually thought that part was the most inventive part of the season.

Was that.

I mean, the money's got to come from somewhere and if it's precious, then it has to be curated how it's put into the system.

Right.

I thought that part was cool, but everything else was, you know, Goonies in Space.

It was Flight of the Navigator.

It was.

It was a lot of other callbacks.

Those were the parts I think I kind of liked about it though.

But I mean that.

But.

But that's because it was playing on our nostalgia.

But like it was written for 10 year olds.

Which is fine because Star wars is for kids, but.

But is it?

I'm waiting for Andor Season 2.

How's that?

It's not for kids.

There's something talking.

April.

So what did you like about the show?

I liked the Goonies part.

I like the kids having an adventure.

I did it just.

It did.

It didn't.

The execution on it for half an hour?

Sure.

No, I did like the Goonies stuff.

That happened from episodes one through eight.

Yeah.

I'm a Star wars fan, which means I'm wholly inconsistent about what I like and don't like about it.

But what else?

I like Jeff.

Jeff, the space pirate who was present at the attack on Navarro and then escaped and ended up working in Jad Nanawood's crew.

And then nothing remarkable ever happened with his character.

There was nothing about him being in this show that was worthy of him at all.

Being in this show, I expected so much more from that character.

He was all set up.

He was just in the background the entire time.

Had nothing to do, no decisions of consequence, no nothing.

He was just the guy with the same outfit who was in the attack on Navarro and got away from Ando and that was it.

Unnecessary.

They just be showing up.

I guess pirates do just be there.

Jello White our golds in it.

What Urkel was.

Oh, that was Urkel.

See, I thought he died in the acid.

And when he showed up in the next episode, I was like, what?

I was like, julie White didn't die.

I just heard him on a podcast the other day.

But you met his character, the pirate.

On the show that we're talking about.

I'm having trouble characters.

His character's name was Jeff.

Was he Glurb?

There was a pirate named Glurb.

Was there no part of the show where you were like, why isn't his lightsaber red?

Like, were you looking at the lightsaber to tell you if he was or wasn't a good lightsaber?

They just found it.

I just was looking for clarity, I guess, but, I mean, that makes sense.

But yeah.

No, I just took it to mean, like, oh, he's found a lightsaber.

There should be a bunch laying around, I guess, because they're kind of an artifact from all those thousands of dead Jedi.

So do you think that there were parts of his character that were telling.

The truth about his abilities and stuff?

Yeah, but his.

Also his story, like, his.

They apparently shot a scene with his master that he talked about.

The.

The actresses really has released some photos since the whole thing has been released, and they shot some stuff, I believe.

I mean, she was in full gear and was like, full Jedi gear.

Yeah.

Oh, there you go.

So there's him.

A real Jedi.

I mean, he at least trained.

Failed.

He said he at least trained, but.

At least he didn't go on to take over a galaxy and enslave trillions of people.

It's nice to know that you can fall short of the mark and just, you know, be a.

And just, you know, want to payday and.

Right.

Just like a shitty leader.

Just a mediocre sales manager.

Yeah.

It's nice to know that if you fall as a Jedi Padawan, you don't become a narcissistic.

Narcissistic, genocidal sociopath who hates sand.

They get everywhere.

Mm.

Right in the B hole.

Hey, they're back.

Let's go.

Hey, guys.

Let's go.

What else are we talking about with this show?

Was that Star Wars?

It is a Star Wars.

Is it part of the Mando verse?

Are we gonna.

Is this going to be tied into things later somehow?

Just assume that everything that's come out since Mandalorian part of the Maniverse, right?

Well, if it's Boba Fett was.

If it happens after.

I mean, it's happening in the same time frame.

Yeah, true.

It's post Jedi New Republic, so.

So what's coming out that way?

Is there Ahsoka 2 or a movie or something?

Supposedly, yes.

Ahsoka 2, the movie is done shooting.

Ahsoka or Mando because Mando Grogu is the next movie, Right?

That's the next movie.

But apparently Ahsoka Season 2 is going to have the flashbacks with Ewan McGregor and Hayden, and now there's rumors that Filon's trying to talk Natalie Portman into doing it.

What?

That would be cool.

Yeah.

See, that's great.

We've softened up on.

I want that.

The prequel era stuff.

Mostly because of what Rep.

Not Rebels, Clone wars did.

Right.

Yep.

And it puts things into other context.

And also the sequel trilogy made us respect.

Yeah.

Like, we may not like the plan, but at least you had a plan.

There was a plan.

Yeah.

But yeah, that's, that's.

The rumor is that they're trying to talk her into doing Ahsoka too.

And I guess Hondo at some point.

Hondo is never going to be in a TV show.

I mean, if.

Yeah, it was an hour.

He's there at the theme park.

Right.

Like, he is one of the main characters in the theme park.

I don't think he's ever going to be.

Maybe that's why they're like, we don't need him on tv.

It's their loss.

He's a great character.

But no, let's.

Let's go ahead and put Jeff the Pirate in, who has nothing to do with anything, and connect him to a bunch of shows and not do anything with him.

All right, Noted.

Done.

Got it.

Recycle the makeup.

Dollars saved.

What are we going to spend it on?

A crab?

All right, let's do it.

I was gonna write a whole parody of Snoop Dogg.

What's my name?

That song.

But it was going to be using all the different names that he used for himself in the show.

But I didn't, I didn't write that.

But it was a good idea.

And if anybody out there wants to.

Do it, we would love to play it on the show.

That's ripe.

Somebody has probably already done it.

It's the Internet.

It's a good idea.

Every time I think I've got a great idea, I get on the Internet.

Like, AI beat me again.

Have anything else or is that it?

Nothing we have said here today was intended to insult Donald Trump, who we have not spoken about.

That's all.

You just got to cover yourself a little bit with.

With a blanket.

They're gonna come after all of us.

Oh, yeah.

They know that.

You know, now they gotta come after you.

Well, I guess that's it.
