| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily for Wednesday March 22nd |
| 0:03.8 | 2023 on today's episode we're gonna have a spoiler filled conversation |
| 0:08.4 | about the Mandalorian chapter 20 the Foundling this is Slash Film Editorial Director Peter Sorretta and joining me on |
| 0:15.7 | this podcast is slash film editor, Brett Omen. Hey, that's me. And Star Wars expert Brian Young. |
| 0:24.0 | I'm thrilled to be here. |
| 0:26.0 | So guys, I wasn't here last week and I was, be honest with you, I was totally expecting things to fault pieces. I thought like oh sure the |
| 0:35.0 | podcast will not be as good and then I listened to the podcast and it was it was better |
| 0:39.0 | without me. So what I'm saying is I don't know know about that I'm going to take that as a compliment but say we |
| 0:47.3 | missed you I love their conversation that you had, |
| 0:53.7 | their impromptu conversation |
| 0:55.6 | about how the expanded books and comics and TV shows how they fix things or expand on things and Brian's feeling is |

| 1:39.2 | But have we had previous seasons where it had a like a bottle episode like that following a different character? |

| 1:56.9 | They jump back and forth if they're gonna do something like this and it's kind of surprising they didn't but I guess it made sense considering what happens with Mando and Grogu, you know, really only works with the beginning and the end because there's not much of a middle there. |
| 2:10.0 | Yeah. And, and I mean, this is definitely something that they did on Book of Boba Fett which should have been getting used to the style of storytelling. |
| 2:18.0 | Oh, for sure, for sure. Hey, I'm not complaining. I'm just wondering because everything's starting to blur together to me guys. |
| 2:27.0 | I'm like, did they do a Carradoon episode? |
| 2:30.0 | Maybe they did. |
| 2:31.0 | I don't remember at this point. |
