Hanging out with your best Star Wars buds!

I’ve been listening to these guys since they first started! They do great breakdowns of Star Wars content, they’re always positive while still critiquing things that need to be critiqued, and they make the podcast feel like hanging out with your best Star Wars buds and getting into the nerdy details! I love these guys!

Soooo good!

Found these guys when The Mandalorian was kicking off and haven’t missed anything they’ve done since. They certainty don’t fawn over everything coming out of Disney+, or agree with each other all the time, but Alex and Mac have so much fun with Star Wars and are so positive you can’t help get caught up. From in depth breakdowns to wild speculation it’s all here. If you want to get back to the fun of Star Wars this is your podcast!

Infectious Star Wars enthusiasm

With so many podcasts out there about Star Wars it can be easy to get lost in the noise trying to find one that really stands out. Happily, I stumbled on this pod a year or so back and find that I look forward to their scene by scene breakdowns of all things Star Wars television almost as eagerly as I look forward to the episodes they cover. These guys have a infectious enthusiasm that simply cannot be beat. So if you’re looking for a new SW podcast to listen to, stop. It’s this one. You found the best right here.

An underrated gem of a podcast

Alex and Mac are affable hosts with a friendly chemistry that makes this an enjoyable listen every time. In a sea of rage-baiting, this podcast is a beacon of good vibes even when the hosts don’t necessarily agree with each other or the SW material being presented. It may be more profitable and easy to lean into cynicism, but these guys are purely focused on having honest, thorough discussions on the ever-growing SW universe and the elements that bring them joy. Give them a listen!

Fantastic podcast

This is my favorite Star Wars podcast. A great mix of a ton of positivity and a little bit of kind but critical takes for this beloved universe. Also, they are great at connecting Star Wars tv with the rest of the canon in case you missed something.

The best!

We’ve been listening to Alex and Mac since Mandalorian Season 1 came out and we are also Patreon members. We never miss a show! They are the best family friendly Star Wars podcast out there. We watch their YouTube break downs together as a family and laugh along with them. One of the things I love best about the show is the fact that they are not salty fans. There is so much hate and discontent among the star wars fan base- but you won’t get that here. 100% recommend to all my friends!

My go-to Star Wars pod!

I always look forward to this podcast every week after watching the latest episode of Star Wars TV. These guys are extremely knowledgeable about everything Star Wars and always make sure not to leave people behind when talking about anything outside of the nine major films and even then they’ll remind you and give you context. Excellent show!

Y’all need to listen to this podcast asap rocky

COTW is my favorite podcast. I went into watching Mando without a lot of prior Star Wars knowledge and wanted to know more about the lore so I searched for a podcast that would help me better understand and COTW came up. Since my first episode, I’ve religiously listened to everything and now have such a better grasp of the SW universe and all that’s happening with the live-action shows we’re getting. Plus, Mac and Alex are like friends to me now without them even knowing it. I can’t wait for Obi-Wan to come out in just a few weeks!

Nothing But Fun!

Alex and Mac are so great! I started listening half way through the first season of Mandalorian, I joined the Patreon shortly after I went back to listen to everything they offered leading up to the show’s premiere. They are so fun and have so much knowledge about all things Star Wars. I’ve learned so much. And although I’ve been an avid watcher of anything Star Wars, thanks to these guys, I’m now diving into books and comics Canon and Legends, something I never thought I’d be interested in. Oh how I was wrong. Now they’re all things live action Star Wars (with a little animation sprinkled in) and my husband and I don’t miss one of their episodes. If you love Star Wars, these are your guys, this is your podcast!

Best Star Wars Podcast

You know how everyone got into baking sourdough bread and things like tiger king during 2020? Well, I got extremely into The Mandalorian and the reason is this podcast. Honestly, I’m even watching Rebels and Clone Wars now. It’s a must-listen as a companion for all of Star Wars television!

Great companion to Star Wars shows

This podcast is a great way to analyze and get background info for all things Star Wars. I usually watch the episode, then listen to the podcast, and then rewatch the show with a more focused lens. Get the most out of the Star Wars universe! Worth a listen!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great podcast! I’ve been following you guys for a while, nice to see the evolution of the pod. Okay guys... why so much hate on the YouTube? if you like the podcast why not be happy for them? Don’t you think it’s nice that some people that don’t listen to podcasts can have some fun? Oh so you want them to fail... THEN STOP LISTENING!!! Aren’t you happy they can make a bit more money so then can make the podcast even better? And if I didn’t convince you, then as Mac likes to say: “You can go kick rocks”

Amazing Podcast

Being a Star Wars fan in recent years has not been easy. Many have lost site that Star Wars is supposed to be fun and not take itself too seriously. I can’t thank this podcast enough for how they celebrate Star Wars.

My Podcast “Sanctuary”

Haters should probably look elsewhere, this is a celebration of Star Wars. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate Alex and Mac’s insisting that this is supposed to be fun! Great Star Wars insight, history as well as fun speculation. Keep it up guys and keep giggling Mac!

#1 Podcast for Live-Action Star Wars!

I’m really enjoying this podcast — I just wish I’d found it sooner! I’m listening through the full backlog of content and absolutely love the history and animated show episode recaps. It’s so fun to listen to these two goofballs talk about my favorite shows!
