Sho is joined by Jake Schulz (2:15) of the Cinemates podcast to break down the nominations - they get into Sinners hype, how it stacks up against OBAA, how it was a strong year for international cinema, how the acting nominations could shake out, and where the biggest snubs lie. | — | ||||||

| 9/21/23 | Ahsoka Breakdown: Episode 5 + 6 | Sho gets into the two best episodes of Ahsoka yet, including what was essentially a live-action episode of The Clone Wars with the return of Hayden Christensen - how was it to see both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader as portrayed by the same actor? Plus, we are finally treated to the live-action debut of Lars Mikkelsen's Grand Admiral Thrawn - was it everything we imagined?

| 9/11/23 | Ahsoka Breakdown: Episode 3 + 4 | Sho has more Ahsoka reaction, including the homage(s) to A New Hope in Episode 3 and the trend of having Force users that don't actually have strong connections to the Force itself, but is that really an issue? Plus, Sho gets into the action-heavy Episode 4, including Sabine vs. Shin, Ahsoka vs. Marrok, and Ahsoka vs. Baylan - he discusses the rumours surrounding Marrok, Baylan's demeanour during (and after) their battle, and the musical cliffhanger the episode ends on. | — | ||||||

What can we make of the late Ray Stevenson's performance of Baylan Skoll? How do the re-imagined versions of 'Rebels' characters look in live action? What easter eggs did Dave Filoni hide in the first two episodes? Sho discusses all the EU references and more. | — | ||||||
| 1/24/23 | Avatar: The Way of Water & Puss in Boots: The Last Wish | Avatar: The Way of Water cracks two billion (!) dollars at the box office - must be culturally relevant in some way, right? Sho brings on Mark Gougeon to discuss that very idea and to review both the return to Pandora, and a return to the (beautifully animated) world of Puss in Boots. Plus, some quick Oscar nomination predictions ahead of the official announcement! | — | ||||||
| 11/15/22 | TIFF 2022: The Banshees of Inisherin, The Whale & Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery | Sho is back (again)!

| 6/26/22 | Kenobi Reaction: Part VI | The season finale of Kenobi is out, which means the finale of Sho's Kenobicasts!

He discusses the ending to Reva's storyline, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, and a cameo at the end of the show - a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. | — | ||||||
