The Book of Boba Fett, Chapter 7: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly – The Blockade Runner Podcast #210

Taking inspiration from The Book of Boba Fett’s westerns influence, Ryan and John discuss chapter 7 through a “the good, the bad, and the ugly” framework. We spend the most time on the parts we enjoyed, but also acknowledge some of the episode’s weaker points as well as we wrap up our look at each chapter of the show.
