Episode 85 - "Who's Yaddle?!" [The Mandalorian, The Queen's Gambit, Borat 2] - a podcast by Jason Chen and Robert Snow

Is this the Heath Ledger appreciation hour? In the 85th episode of the Extra Buttery podcast, Jason and Robert open up with an extended talk about the timeless medieval comedy, A KNIGHT’S TALE (now on Netflix), and where it fits in Ledger’s legacy. After the intro and – tangent alert! – Robert proudly revealing his pumpkin spice obsession, we move onto Season 2 of THE MANDALORIAN (10:20) where we discuss the show’s surprising lack of divisiveness among Star Wars fans, an introduction to Yaddle (not Baby Yoda’s mom, we think) and why everything happens on Tatooine. There’s a short interlude for Sean Connery and his 007 legacy (28:00) before we move onto Netflix’s THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT (32:27) and its first iteration in the 2000’s with Ledger set to direct, and then it’s – veryyyy niiice!!! – BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM (43:04) and its potential implications on the U.S. election and perhaps the upcoming Oscars (according to Jason’s conspiracy theory).
