  • Loving Star Wars Again, The Mandalorian and Grogu
    May 22 2026

    On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, The Mandalorian and Grogu has taken over theaters and it prompted the question: what will it take for us to love Star Wars again? That might seem harsh, but the Force has definitely lost its luster the past few years, especially with so much content diluting our excitement. It's a solid discussion on what we love and loathe about the franchise, and we finish with our review of The Mandalorian and Grogu.

  • Dark TV Nostalgia, Netflix Goes Theatrical, Mortal Kombat 2, The Sheep Detectives
    May 8 2026

    On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, our main topic is the surge of dark nostalgia invading our TVs these days: Wednesday, Riverdale, now Casper, and on and on. So much of what seemed like fun escapism of our youth is now being morphed into darker, edgier, grittier television that loses much of what we loved about them in the first place.
