What are the hosts' initial thoughts on 'The Mandalorian and Grogu'?
Hello, welcome back to House of R. It is still Friend of the Pod month. My friend Mallory Rubin is here. I'm Joanna Robinson, but more importantly, Friend of the Pod Supreme, Grogu. Grogu's here. Grogu's here. We have a star in the studio today, folks.
That's a star.
What insights do the hosts share about the film's box office performance?
Cookie enthusiast, wow. And we're here today to talk about his film. Yes. The Mandalorian and Grogu. Star Wars, colon, The Mandalorian and Grogu. Yes, that's right. And don't worry, we're ethical journalists, so we will not hold back simply because Grogu is here. If we have things to say, we will say them to Grogu's adorable face.
We have some notes coming, but also some coos, babbles, harumphs, and purrs. And Grogu will be here with us for it all.
And we're going to do all of that right after this. This episode of House of R is presented to you by Target. Call in all trainers.
The Pokemon and Target collection celebrating 30 years of Pokemon is almost here.
And the lineup is kind of incredible. A few are sure to be fan faves. Pokemon starter jackets, mystery water type Pokemon bottles, and even caboodles.

Quick programming reminders. Friend of the Pod month continues apace. We've got a summer hype episode that we're planning to do. Hype meter. Yep. Some Spider Noir. That's right. Some Tenet. That's right. And we've got a couple pals lined up for those shows. Am I going to say who they are? No, because we haven't recorded them yet, and anything could happen. This is Hollywood. June is almost upon us. Sure is.
How do the hosts evaluate the character development of Grogu?
The Vampire Lestat, most importantly. Yeah. House of the Dragons. Can't wait. A little show that we've heard of. Can't wait. A film that I'm hotly anticipating and definitely know the name of, Disclosure Day. I can't wait. Really excited. Yeah. Odyssey. Odyssey. Around the corner. Supergirl. San Diego Comic-Con. We will be there. And all the rest. Yes. Okay. I'm looking forward to getting sick once again.
I really don't want to get sick. I was so sick after Comic-Con last year, and it's a busy summer. So I've got to strategize how to stay healthy and well. But I did have fun at Comic-Con. So are you tipping your height meter? Will the stat be number one for you? You're revealing that now?
Hard to say.
Or should people stay tuned? Yeah, who's to say? Okay.
I can surprise you.
Sure. Yeah, I bet.
Follow us on our new House of R Instagram and TikTok at House of R pod. Yeah.
What critiques do the hosts offer regarding the plot and pacing of the film?
Maybe you'll get some behind the scenes action there. You know, some of Grogu's takes that didn't make the final edit. Ooh, too hot. That was saved for social. For live.
Mm-hmm. And hobbitsanddragons at gmail.com. That's right. The inbox is always open.
Always. We got a couple emails we're going to read today.
Speaking of which. Yes. We got a response to our front of the pod. Damon Lindelof came on. Mm-hmm.
Wonderful. Fantastic.
Mallory, who won the draft on that episode? You did. I did. You did. Handily. Congrats. Thank you so much.
I like to be gracious in defeat. And I've tried to be gracious in victory over the years as I've aged and matured. Wasn't always the case.
But people loved that Damon episode, as did we. We had a great time recording with Damon.
What are the hosts' opinions on the CGI and practical effects used in the movie?
So fun. One of our listeners, though, Mariah, wanted to push back on something that Damon said. Damon was trying to— And he's not here to defend himself. He can text us later. Damon was trying to push back on my Grogu is an accessory argument by shouting out a few other characters who he— Star Wars, beloved Star Wars characters who he felt didn't really have an arc either. And he mentioned C-3PO. And this is what our listener Mariah said. C-3PO absolutely has an arc. Of course. In A New Hope, C-3PO is disheveled, tells R2 to give up on fighting Obi-Wan, and doesn't see himself as fit for the adventure. In Empire, he's literally broken into pieces. A symbolic death. Oh. But by the end of Return, he too becomes a hero.
