On this, the 180th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk a little music to kick things off before talking Saturn award nominations, 2024 Disney+ release schedules, Disney park changes, and even the potential return of Padme to Star Wars before settling into the main topic, an in-depth discussion of "The Marvels" (40:12). Despite some bad word of mouth, mediocre reviews and a poor box office take ... all of us liked it. So what's going on here? The group dives into the movie's strengths (and weaknesses) and addresses why the larger discussion has been so negative.
