On this episode of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight visit the forge, the heart of Mandalorian culture! In the Previously On (1:48) Rosie speed recaps Showtime’s Yellowjackets season one with a sound effects assist from Jason. In the Airlock (9:24), they dive deep (deeep) into season 3 episode 4 of The Mandalorian, recapping and discussing Grogu’s training, why the forge is the heart of Mandalorian culture, Mandalorian sexual practices, and more. Then in Nerd Out (40:53) Jason and Rosie discuss a listener theory about where the increasing number of Mandalorians might be coming from.
