On the season finale of The Mandalorian Half-Hour, the gang straps in for a lengthy (well over half-hour) discussion on the polarizing season 2 finale, "Chapter 16: The Rescue." With this episode making so much from the last episode feel less special, why couldn't the finale just be a two-parter? How rad was the Mando v. Dark Trooper one-on-one? And will Tarkin Toons every not look completely soulless and inhuman? P...

On this month's AD, the gang tackles their longest cartoon yet, the feature-length animated film, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm! Released on Christmas 1993, this rushed-to-theaters project could've been a total disaster, but instead completely rules and features Bruce Wayne flashbacks that don't show you his parents getting gunned down, a lot of hilarious mafioso murders, a solid outing to the Gotham World's Fair, and another magnificent performance from Mark Hamill as the Joker!
