STAR WARS – THE BAD BATCH S2 REVIEW
The Mandalorian may be a huge hit, but it’s not the best Disney Plus Star Wars show about Mandalorians who adopt a powerful child. That honor belongs to The Bad Batch, a spinoff of The Clone Wars animated series. Season 2 continues the story of Clone Force 99, an elite squad of troopers with beneficial genetic mutations, and their younger sister Omega, a rare female clone. For a show that’s supposedly aimed at a younger demographic, The Bad Batch packs a surprising amount of heavy themes, mature storylines, and darker moments in between the more lighthearted, adventure-of-the-week episodes. It’s the kind of show where your heroes don’t always win, bad things happen to good people, and not everyone makes it out alive. Listen to T.C., Doggett, and Marco give their review then stick around for the spoiler section where they discuss The Empire Strikes Back of Star Wars animation.

By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.

Danny Dogget (Screener Squad)
Hey persons, it’s your favorite canine Dogget! As many of you know, I don’t identify as a critic as much as a classy shock jock. That being said, I do my best to give all of you a well-balanced review filled with my true opinions and hopefully a few laughs. You can occasionally find me on other persons podcast like Mission Impodible (that’ll be 10 dollars Nathan). For the most part, you can find me doing reviews on Oneofus.net.
