Time to spread the love of sci-fi on a brand new episode of  Go Frak Yourself!

Jason Kravits is an actor, singer and improviser who last appeared on episode 7 of Go Fact Yourself. This week, he saves the day, filling in as co-host in place of Helen Hong.

Lisa Loeb is a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, who writes and performs music for both children and grown-ups. She often has concerts catering to both of her target audiences on the same day, but she’ll tell us how her music for kids is often the most popular song for adults! Plus: how her fandom of the character Hello Kitty led to some great opportunities. You can hear Lisa every day on her Sirius XM radio show, “Stay With Lisa Loeb.”

Reggie Watts is a comedian, actor and musician. He just wrapped up an eight-year stint as the band leader on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” It’s a job that he really enjoyed, but he’ll explain why he made a point to stop coming to rehearsals. Reggie will also tell us about being a contestant on “Jeopardy!” and why he was more familiar with a famous parody version of the show prior to his appearance on the real thing. Reggie’s book, Great Falls: MT: Fast Times, Post-Punk Weirdos, and a Tale of Coming Home Again, is available for preorder now.

Areas of expertise

Lisa: “Rupaul's Drag Race” (but not good with names). Strength training. Peanut butter.

Reggie: Model railroading, The TV show “Battlestar Galactica.” Butt rock.

What’s the difference: Sing for your Supper

What’s the difference between supper and dinner?

Plus, the Geeks hear from Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and Giancarlo Esposito about how they think fans will react to the season's finale in which they tease some surprises are in store. Also, Brendan Wayne, who is one of the actors/stunt men who is in the Mando armor says this next one could "hurt too much." What does it all mean?

In Episode 139 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast, Nate, Jake and Chris delve deep into all the reveals they had time for from Star Wars Celebration. We have three new films announced, and we go into all three concepts and talk about each of the directors involved. Daisy is back as Rey, the Mandoverse crossover event is gaining steam and we will apparently see the first Jedi ever. It's an exciting time. Hear from James Mangold, Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau and Kathleen Kennedy about those films.

Plus we got that epic Ahsoka series trailer! We met the cast of The Acolyte, which we hear from star Amandla Stenberg, and we got sneak peeks at the second season of Andor and Skeleton Crew. It's an exciting time and we dig into all of it that was announced at the time of the recording of this episode.

They also dissect the sixth episode of the third season (chapter 22) of The Mandalorian, including all those amazing cameos, where the story is headed with Bo-Katan Kryze firmly in the driver's seat and all that goes with that. Check it all out in this episode of The Force Geeks podcast!

***Be warned, there was some adult language here and there (not a ton, though) and a couple of F-bombs were dropped.***

***The views expressed in this show are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government.***

In Episode 138 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast, Nate, Jake and Chris dissect the fifth episode of the third season (chapter 21) of The Mandalorian, including the show giving us a good ol’ fashioned 'star war' with the pirate siege, while also setting up so much ahead with the details surrounding Moff Gideon’s disappearance, more treachery from Elia Kane, a new home for the Mandalorian people and a new mission for Bo-Katan Kryze. There was also that awesome cameo from a beloved Rebels character that had the Geeks all sorts of geeked out!

Plus, the Geeks break down the double-episode finale (episodes 15 & 16)  of the second season of The Bad Batch TV series in this spoiler special. They break down the main takeaways of that big loss for Clone Force 99, the Rogue One character cameos and the big twist Omega discovers in this cliffhanger episode. Plus, a new report from MakingStarWars.com details what could be taking place on the new Ahsoka series and how the show will rescue Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger that’s worth a discussion. Check it all out in this episode of The Force Geeks podcast!

In Episode 137 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast, Nate, Jake and Chris dissect the third and fourth episodes of the third season (chapters 19 & 20) of The Mandalorian, including the continued work to link to the cloning tech that brings Palpatine back in the Sequel Trilogy with Dr. Pershing’s story in Chapter 19, that Bo-Katan has an interesting choice ahead of her, something about an Imperial war lord that seems to be alluding to something big in the works, and a huge revelation of who saved Grogu from the great Jedi Purge at the Jedi Temple with that cool ass cameo that proves once again that Star Wars is about redemption, in more ways than one.

Plus, the Geeks break down the 13th and 14th episodes of the second season of The Bad Batch TV series in this spoiler special. They break down the main takeaways of what is in store for  Clone Force 99 without Cid and Crosshair's choice to warn his former brothers in arms about the danger that awaits them. Plus, there's even more blood in the water for a much talked about Star Wars movie script with news  breaking that Damon Lindelof has turned in a script to Lucasfilm and immediately left the project, as we are just days away from the expected announcement at Star Wars Celebration for the upcoming slate of films headed into production. They also examine the latest rumors about the mounting pressure for studio head, Kathleen Kennedy, to show forward momentum beyond the success of the franchise on the small screen.

In Episode 136 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast, Nate, and Jake dissect the second episode of the third season of The Mandalorian, including the significance of Bo-Katan's sense of duty to Din, that epic reveal at the end and what is in store for the rest of the season.

Plus, the Geeks break down the 12th episode of the second season of The Bad Batch TV series in this spoiler special. They break down the main takeaways of what many are considering to be one of the best episodes of the series, and how Crosshair's personal story is developing to show where he is going in the future. Plus, there's blood in the water for two Star Wars movies with news  breaking that Kevin Feige's project is getting shelved, as is Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron flick. But there is positive news for Taika Waititi's film.

The Briikasak gang travels with Din and Grogu to the mines of Mandalore, with its many Lord of the Rings references and possible problematic inhabitants. Bo-katan has some humanizing moments, Grogu is actually an attentive toddler, and Cork is pissed about that mythosaur. 



Briikasak is a Mando'a word meaning a social gathering among comrades during difficult times. In Briikasak: A Mandalorian Podcast, three queer comrades with varying degrees of Star Wars knowledge socially gather to discuss The Mandalorian, Mandalorian lore, and Star Wars in general. 

This is our interview with Katee Sackhoff AKA Bo-Katan Kryze and Director Rick Famuyiwa of Disney+ Original Series STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN. Justin chats with them about exploring their voice in such a large story, as well as advice for being a Star Wars parent. 

Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 3 is streaming now on Disney+

PATREON MOVIE DISCUSSION: 

This movie was selected by our Patreon Supporters over at the Cinematic Doctrine Patreon. Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard! 

If you've seen The Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor or Midnight Mass, you've seen director Mike Flanagan's work! However, for this episode we're traveling back to 2013 to discuss one of his earliest projects, Oculus! 

Topics: 

• (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 40-minutes talking about the complicated dynamics of modern movie watching like watching on airplanes, cell phones, the gym, or doing dishes. Also, the concept of director, producer, editor, or alternative cuts to movies. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 
• Daniel has watched more Mike Flanagan projects than Melvin. Melvin is curious if he's noticed a style or focus of Flanagan across each project. 
• Oculus is a fairly simple visual experience of reliving family trauma, but there isn't a whole lot else going on from start to finish. 
• The concept of cursed objects, things or tools having an effect on life in malicious ways not intended, is extremely cool. Despite this, the mirror as a cursed object has little presence. 
• Most every criticism Melvin and Daniel levy at the film feel sourced in young, undeveloped directing talent, which Mike Flanagan has likely improved since working on this 2013 film. 
• Melvin has extreme criticisms for both the original score and the cinematography for the film, finding both to be wholly uninspired. 
• Daniel, "[Oculus] moved between being kind of interesting and then being just kind of unpleasant because of the subject matter."
• Discussing the "unreliable narrator" aspect of the film's second and third act, which people will either love or hate about Oculus.
• The world of film, especially horror, uses poor mental health for its complicating incident, or to add flavor to its storyline. How do we feel about that?

In episode 56 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast, Nate goes "solo" without Jake and DailySuperHero.com Founder Daniel Wolf in this shorter than usual podcast episode as he discusses the possible debut date for the anticipated The Bad Batch series on Disney+ and it could be soon! Also, Rogue One actor Mads Mikkelsen sheds some light on just how chaotic the re-writes and re-shoots were during filming. And that crazy but somewhat interesting theory about Jar Jar Binks being a Sith Lord just got a bit more real, and we mean really creepy! Find out why.
