CLL 47 - The Mandalorian & Grogu Super Show
STAR WARS IS BACK ON THE BIG SCREEN — and Captains' Logs & Lightsabers is HERE FOR IT. This might be the most current episode we've ever recorded. No waiting for the discourse to settle, no catching up after the fact — Chris and Jonathan both saw The Mandalorian & Grogu twice before sitting down to record, and they had thoughts. Before diving into the movie, Chris swings by with a Toypalooza debrief — let's just say his inner Ferengi was very active at the toy fair — plus exciting news about joining a panel at 3 Rivers Comic Con for a discussion on 60 years of Star Trek. Jonathan shares some real-world career news and recaps the ongoing saga of weekly bar trivia with Kylie. Then: the main event. The hosts deliver a thorough spoiler-light breakdown with no plot points discussed, but the completely spoiler-averse may want to return to the episode later — what landed, what didn't, and why they still walked out of that theater grinning like it was 2019 all over again. (Spoiler warning clearly flagged, don't worry.) Then, for those who've seen it: stay tuned. Chris and Jonathan go beat by beat through the whole film, from the quasi-in-media-res cold open straight through to the finale. New Star Wars in theaters for the first time in seven years. We had to show up. Pull up a chair.

CLL 46 - SCC, SFA, & Maul
Chris and Jonathan are back at the mic with a jam-packed episode spanning collectibles, fast food galaxies far, far away, and convention floor adventures. The guys dig into the 2026 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament lineup, debate the merits of Burger King's latest Star Wars tie-in, and Chris and Jonathan recap Chris' time at Steel City Con in Monroeville(Pittsburgh-area), PA. Jonathan takes a brief detour through his theater nerd era with a recap of Broadway-adjacent activities and shows, and the hosts squeeze in reactions to the Project Hail Mary adaptation and the buzz around a Super Mario Galaxy movie. Then it's into the final stretch of Starfleet Academy for a full breakdown of the back half of the season — before closing out with a spoiler-filled reaction to the Darth Maul: Shadow Lord series through the first 8 episodes.
