The Mandalorian and Grogu with Chris Gethard

By Blank Check with Griffin & David

12:00 AM EDT on May 24, 2026

The Mandalorian and Grogu is the first new Star Wars movie in 7 years. It was also directed by Jon Favreau while he was making grilled cheese sandwiches. What the heck is going on with our favorite franchise? "Bad Boy of Blank Check" Chris Gethard returns to the pod to discuss The State of Star Wars: the deal with Dave Filoni, the Male Loneliness Epidemic, how watching Andor felt like texting your ex, and the complete and utter catastrophe of Rotta the Hutt. It's a cathartic three hours, so grab your Grogu Nilla Nummies and buckle up.Listen to Hits DifferentListen to Beautiful AnonymousWatch TCGS #28 | Ruin This ShowWatch Chris Gethard: Career Suicide Read The Bracing Authenticity of Chris Gethard's Career SuicideCheck out Dave Filoni’s “Plan” Read Star Wars: Thrawn Series by Timothy ZahnRead the New Canon NovelsRead The Rise of the Fools by Allison P.
