# Episode #484 – The Mandalorian and Grogu, with Will Hines

It’s a rare “Flop House in the Aisles,” as we took to the theater to see the tepidly-received (though still wildly successful) latest Star Wars thing, [THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30825738/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_2_nm_4_in_1_q_manda). It’s got a li’l green guy in it! How bad could it be? And for a very special episode, we needed a special guest — the talented actor and improvisor [Will Hines](https://www.willhines.net/), returning to the show after a seventeen year absence! See you in another 17 Will! (JK, why would we do that?)
