Hey guys!

Subsequently The Mandalorian gets pulled into a prison break job for some much needed credits! How does his old team take to his return? Will his secret cargo be found?

Episode 39 – New Year, Same Fools.

Published January 11, 2020

Happy New Year!

The Happy Xen Podcast is back after a much needed break to bring you a Xennial view in 2020! First up we review the heavily anticipated Netflix fantasy epic, The Witcher. Both Adam and Matt have watched the entire first season and are ready to share their thoughts. Likewise, we couldn’t possibly go without talking about one of the biggest (and most controversial) film releases of 2019, Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker. As a result, we take a deep dive into the final(?) episode of the Skywalker Saga. Was it better or worse then The Last Jedi? Did it wrap up the saga in a fitting way? Did it even wrap up the most recent trilogy in an acceptable fashion? Tune in to find out what we thought, as the movie series that has accompanied Xennials throughout their entire lives comes to an end. All this plus Adam rips on the Fast & Furious series, the 8-Bit Beans Cafe is popping, and so much more! So click on, buckle up and listen in, as we present you another Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!
