Tatooine Sons

We just got back from Disney and our first experience with the Tron Lightcycle//RUN, so we can’t help but talk about this cult sci-fi classic that changed filmmaking TWICE! We'll discuss the sacrifices fathers make, the impact of digital realms on parental connections, and the weight of inheriting powerful legacies. THIS is Tatooine Sons!

Across the Spider-Verse comes out this weekend and then in a couple of weeks it’s The Flash! So, Dad decided we needed to talk about the multiverse in each and the similarities and differences. Of course, all of our opinions will probably change after the movies release. THIS is Tatooine Sons!

Have you ever thought about how every major story arc in the #MCU is centered around a god? And why those gods are almost always the villains? We share our thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 in a conversation heading back from the theater! And we're pretty confident you won't hear this discussion on any other shows. THIS is Tatooine Sons!

By now, you’ve seen Chapter 24 of The Mandalorian and if you listened to our last episode, you already know that one of us got a prediction sure to go wrong, RIGHT! He takes every opportunity to rub it in over the next half hour. We give our thoughts on the Season 3 finale, the future of the show, and this season's ranking compared to the previous. THIS is Tatooine Sons!

Over the years, we’ve made some crazy predictions for Star Wars films and series - most of them have gone waaaay wrong. But at least we have fun doing it! Today’s episode is no different as we break down Chapter 23 of The Mandalorian and make some predictions sure to go wrong for the finale. THIS is Tatooine Sons!

Heading into Star Wars Celebration, there were rumors of some big announcements coming, but none of us were truly prepared for what hit first thing Friday morning. Since then, there have been even more details and revelations. In this episode, we’ll talk all about the films, trailers and scoops from Star Wars Celebration Europe. THIS is Tatooine Sons!

The Bad Batch Season 2 reached its conclusion last week, and as you’ll hear on today’s episode, our reaction and thoughts might go against the trend just a bit. We liked it! But our feelings may have been skewed and we’re blaming the official Star Wars social media accounts for it. 😉 Thanks for listening to us get it off our chest, and be sure to stick around to the very end of the episode for a tease about something big happening. THIS is Tatooine Sons!

Today’s episode is a bit of a detour from the normal back and forth you’re used to on the show. Today, BB-N8 is interviewing Brandon Proctor. You may not recognize Brandon’s name, but you certainly will recognize his work. Brandon is best known for his amazing sound editing on films like Creed, Thor: Love and Thunder, A Quiet Place, and of course, Black Panther - for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Sound Mixing. If you’re a regular listener of the show, you know that Nate’s dream is to follow in the footsteps of men and women like Brandon. They spoke a few weeks ago about Brandon’s success and more.

Are you a fan of John Wick? Sam, Nate and Dad have an entertaining conversation about the world of John Wick and how it measures to the worldbuilding in similar franchises such as The Matrix, Nobody, Bullet Train and Red. Plus, they share some thoughts on the soon to be released Continental series on HBO Max.

We threw out a tweet on the release date for #shazamfuryofthegods asking if anyone wanted us to record an instant reaction video on our hour long drive after seeing it in IMAX. When #zacharylevi replies with, "DOOO IITTT!" you know you have no choice! Here's the audio version for all of our Tatooine Sons family!

One of us is a MASSIVE Shazam fan! (But it's not our resident DC Comics super-nerd). Join us as we preview Shazam! Fury of the Gods and even take a few minutes to share some thoughts on Zachary Levi's future in the DC Universe after some controversial comments.

THIS is Tatooine Sons!

This is a Reactions & Reviews episode of the show! We finally get to discuss Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and how Kang the Conqueror might have been the antagonist of THIS film, but he could be an Avenger in the future. We also look at why The Last of Us on HBO Max might be the best live action adaptation of a video game to ever be made. And then Sam gets to share both his excitement and concern over new Lord of the Rings films from Warner Bros.

THIS is Tatooine Sons!

This is the Way! Season 3 of The Mandalorian is FINALLY here. On this episode, Sam, Nate and Dad refresh our memories of where we left off, speculate about Grogu (Can he bring the Mandalorians and the Jedi together?) and discuss some of Jon Favreau's comments about the future of the series.

THIS is Tatooine Sons!

We've reached the midway point of Season 2 of The Bad Batch! What are our favorite episodes this season? What were we surprised by? And what do we predict going forward? Join BB-N8, Samuel the Hutt and "The Dad" as they give their reactions.

BONUS: Check out The Dad's appearance on Star Wars Reactions for more conversation about The Bad Batch!

In this exciting interview, Nathan has the honor to have a fascinating conversation with a true master of audio engineering and re-recording mixing, Larry Benjamin.

With over 30 years of experience and a portfolio of work that includes hit series such as "Better Call Saul," "Bones," "Babylon 5," "Glee," and the soon to release "Poker Face," (created by the genius, Rian Johnson) as well as films like "El Camino" and "Swingers," Larry is one of the most respected and accomplished figures in the industry.

Get ready to learn from one of the best as Nathan and Larry dive into the technical and creative aspects of audio mixing for film and television - and talk a little Star Wars along the way.

The Bad Batch is sandwiched in between a LOT of official canon Star Wars content. It seems that sometimes this limits what can be done with the stories and the legacy characters in that timeline. We asked Lucas and Pete if they thing that Canon hurts #TheBadBatch?

BONUS: Both Pete and Lucas are AMAZING players of "the bass." We discuss the coolest moment each have had playing bass.

We were pretty shocked when we found out that #TheBadBatch were heading to Count Dooku’s palace and Serreno. And watching these episodes made it more clear to me that there are a LOT of similarities between Darth Tyrannus and Darth Vader. We wanted to get Pete and Lucas’ opinions on this.

BONUS: Both Pete and Lucas are AMAZING players of "the bass." I ask them both who their favorite bass player is.
