Dave & Cody bring in Star Wars superfan (and middle school choir teacher) Lance Burnett to review The Mandalorian & Grogu

Is it a real movie or just a really long episode of the show? Dave makes the case that it's the franchise's "Temple of Doom moment," Cody goes after the critics, and Lance drops deep-cut lore that'll make you want to watch it again.

Plus: the music, that Scorsese cameo, a Hutt voice that needed fixing, a Pastor's Corner on "The Way" and what a creed actually produces. Stick around for full Star Wars movie rankings.

In the news: the Toxic Mom Group saga returns.

SPOILER WARNING: Full spoilers for The Mandalorian & Grogu after the news segment.
