With a slew of supporting guest stars and notable directors, The Mandalorian took off like a jet pack! But are our hosts hooked?
Listen to Now Playing Podcast's review of Season One of The Mandalorian.
THIS IS THE WAY
Star Wars hit new heights, and Disney launched a new streaming service, when Pedro Pascal put on the T-Visor helmet and became THE MANDALORIAN. But the faceless bounty hunter was overshadowed by his adorable co-star, then known only as "Baby Yoda".
Donors can join Brock, Stuart, and Arnie now for another trip to the lake! The show's available now.
The man of your dreams, Robert Englund, is back in another made for SyFy film--the fourth LAKE PLACID, promising to be THE FINAL CHAPTER (though we know there's two more already...)
Is it claws vs jaws when Englund's Bickerman goes crock hunting? Or is it just yawns?
Some of these Staff Picks got 3 recommends...some didn't, but it's a favorite of our team! Check them all out now at nowplayingpodcast.com/staff-picks/
With our newly designed website we have a "Staff Picks" section!
Think of it like the "Staff Picks" at the old video store. Each member of the Now Playing team has picked 10 favorite movies. You can check this list for gems you may have missed, then join us for our review from our archives!
Fincher. Raimi. Cameron. Spielberg. Tarantino. Craven.
It's no surprise that these are among the directors whose work we've covered most on the podcast.
But what other directors are covered most? Visit our new site to see the full list, and click through to the reviews of all their films!
With the new Street Fighter movie making the rounds, I thought I'd share this video from far back that shows Dhalsim is a far crazier character than Blanka.

how high they ranked!

(Oh, and we have a Golden Headphones section too, for all 3,765 actors that have appeared in 3 or more separate SERIES (or individual reviews... yeah, almost 4,000 of them. That's why we "retired" Golden Headphones!)
In the early days of Now Playing Podcast we used to joke about "Golden Headphones"--actors we reviewed a lot.
On our new site you can actually see those actors and all the films of theirs we've reviewed!
It's no surprise SLJ is number one, but Michael Papjohn and Frank Welker may surprise you
After months of work, we've launched an all-new website for our show! Easier to navigate, better search, easier to find more episodes in the series you want to hear!
Check it out! (And since it is new, if you find any bugs, just drop us a note!)
We will be doing some site maintenance this evening and tomorrow (to be completed before our ANDOR: SEASON 2 review drops tomorrow)
So if you go to the site and it's not there or things are wonky, don't worry, "Uh, Everything is Under Control, Situation Normal. "
How much for that croc that's in the window?
On SyFy's budget? Probably $1.99....
It spoils nothing to say Lake Placid 3 is better than Lake Placid 2. Does this story of a family in crisis (emotional AND of being eaten) hook our hosts enough to recommend?
Our review is out for Gold Level donors!
“That's a rich story from a game people love.”
That’s Arnie on Super Mario Galaxy.
So why does the review sound like a crime scene?
Listen now.
Up wherever you get your podcasts!

Hope to see some of you there.

But do Bill Pullman and Brendan Gleeson actually make this thing worth chewing on?
Stuart, Brock, and Arnie wade into croc-infested waters for this bonus review, up now for patrons and donors.
A giant crocodile is snacking its way through Maine, and Bridget Fonda is next on the menu. Naturally, Oliver Platt is the guy you send in to handle it.
That’s Lake Placid, the horror-comedy with a mean bite from Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley.
