Jedi Squadron Podcast: Episode 45 – Maul – Shadow Lord Episodes 3 – 4 Review

In this Jedi Squadron Podcast episode, we break down Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord Episodes 3 & 4—and this is where the series takes a serious turn. From intense lightsaber duels to deeper character themes, Maul’s story is evolving in ways we didn’t expect.

Episode 3 dives into Maul’s attempt to tempt Devon to the dark side, echoing classic Star Wars moments while adding a darker psychological layer. Episode 4 raises the stakes even higher with major conflict, betrayal, and the Empire closing in.

This is the point where Maul Shadow Lord goes from good… to something much deeper.

If you enjoyed Clone Wars or Rebels, this might be one of the most interesting directions we’ve seen for Maul yet.

Toku Secrets Podcast: Episode 233 – No. 1 Sentai Gozyuger – TegaSword of Resurrection Review

The Toku Secrets Podcast reviews the No. 1 Sentai GoZyuger movie TegaSword of Resurrection, a film that takes place between Episode 26 and Episode 27 of the series.

In this review, we break down the story, the villain Pestis, the return of TegaSword, and the massive Sentai Easter egg battle featuring foot soldiers from across Super Sentai history. Despite the exciting concept, the movie left us with a lot of mixed — and mostly negative — feelings.

We discuss whether the movie lived up to the legacy of Super Sentai crossover films, analyze the TegaSword Origin mech battle, and talk about why the story and execution didn’t land the way we hoped.

We also cover some of the film’s interesting trivia and behind-the-scenes context, including its release timing following the Maya Imamori controversy.
