The first animated series for James Gunn's DCU has concluded and we've got a lot thoughts. Mainly, why are we still coding disability as monstrous? Is David Zaslav running security in Pokolistan? What's the over-under on at least one student wanting to get freaky with a fish girl? Is Doctor Phosphorus the show's MVP?

Jan 10, 2025 · 27 minStar Wars: Skeleton Crew Episode 7
Jod betrayed us all and courageous Wim has learned nothing. The penultimate episode of Skeleton Crew left us shocked (Jod killed a defenseless man?!) and dismayed (please don't pull an Anakin 2.0, Jod!!). Why is hologram technology so prevalent? Is this the best heel turn in modern television history? How did Jod get on the Onyx Cinder? Star Wars TV, is it getting better? Rosie and Jason ponder these questions and the end of Skeleton Crew season one.
