Geek Quorum - a sci-fi and gaming podcast

The Mandalorian - Chapter 9 12/09/2020

The Mandalorian - Chapter 9 Season 2 of the Mandalorian begins in epic fashion. The action and effects were grand, but the story didn't seem to advance too far--with one big exception. /episode/index/show/geekquorum/id/17131811

The Mandalorian - Chapters 7 & 8 03/07/2020

The Mandalorian - Chapters 7 & 8 The first season of The Mandalorian comes to a satisfying conclusion with two strong episodes. We particularly liked Chapter 7, with its shocking turns that took the series to a new dramatic level. /episode/index/show/geekquorum/id/13452224

The Mandalorian - Chapter 6 01/03/2020

The Mandalorian - Chapter 6 The Mandalorian tries--and largely succeeds--with a "heist" episode. We appreciated the change in scenery and the new characters, but we have to wonder: Will the Baby Yoda storyline be adequately addressed in the remaining two episodes? /episode/index/show/geekquorum/id/12608834

The Mandalorian - Chapters 4 & 5 12/26/2019

The Mandalorian - Chapters 4 & 5 The Mandalorian suffered a drop in quality with Chapters 4 and 5, with a number of cliches and over-abundant fan service. Sure, Baby Yoda was cute, but we were hoping for advancement of the main story. Instead, it seems to be treading water while pandering to fans. And going back to Tatooine again? /episode/index/show/geekquorum/id/12534683

The Mandalorian - Chapters 2 & 3 12/06/2019

The Mandalorian - Chapters 2 & 3 The Mandalorian continues with two strong episodes. While Chapter 2 may have been essentially a side quest, the end reveal was a worthy payoff. And Chapter 3 sets the table for the direction of the series onward. /episode/index/show/geekquorum/id/12308027

The Mandalorian - Chapter 1 11/27/2019

Rogue One 07/15/2019
