Guest commentator Tony Consiglio ducks for cover as the Fanthiers run amok and Ubbla Mollboro hits a high note!

Starts with Temiri Blagg ushering the fa[n]thiers out, and ends with the fathiers trashing the/going to town.

How much of the fathiers' rampage is intentional (either on the part of Rose or the fathiers themselves)?
Finn and Rose crash through solid walls and suffer no ill effects. The physical unreality that Alex referred to previously.
- Referenced: Indiana Jones, The Hobbit movies. It's like late-model Indiana Jones (i.e. Crystal Skull).
The only one left standing is the droid serving drinks. It's very Jumanji.
What if one of the fathiers had been planning this out for years? Mentioned: Reservoir Dogs.
The best part of any movie for Alex is when animals run amok and destroy things.
What if they kept the gag going in a galaxy-wide stampede that then spread to different Disney franchises. Mentioned: the end of Blazing Saddles.
It seems like that the fathiers would incur far more damage crashing into speeders than they ever took as racehorses.
Mentioned: Ratatouille. Rose has always wanted to ride a fathier.
The sort of computer-generated mixed with live action uncanny valley of humans riding fake things in movies.

30:20 podcast episode length.
As it happens, the minutes of Crystal Skull that Alex covered on the Indiana Jones Minute (at his request), were the those where Mutt swings from vines with monkeys.
