In this episode, the guys discuss one of the most highly regarded Clone Wars arcs, the Umbara arc. The arc follows all of our favourite clones of the 501st legion, as they have to contend with the harsh conditions of the planet Umbara, under the leadership of harsh Jedi Master Pong Krell. As always, the episode features our humble Nerf Osian's first reactions to this arc; meanwhile, James reflects on the first time he watched it, almost a decade ago.

It might be the Mid-1900s, but these films sure aren't mid. That's right, the choices for this month's show originate from the 50s and what a damn fine collection they are. Before the guys delve into those, they close out the spiritual Charli XCX trilogy of episodes by discussing her recent mockumentary film The Moment (2026, dir. Aidan Zamiri). The choices are M (1951, dir. Joseph Losey), Room at the Top (1958, dir. Jack Clayton) and Anatomy of a Murder (1959, dir. Otto Preminger).

Grab your weizenbier! Grab your bratwurst! For it is Februar, AKA German Month, on the Code Purple Podcast. Before the guys set off to Germany, they take a brief detour to the wily, windy moors of Yorkshire and discuss the polarising recent release, "Wuthering Heights" (2026, dir. Emerald Fennell). The film choices are M (1931, Dir. Fritz Lang), Werner and the Wizard of Booze (1990, dir. Niki List) and Toni Erdmann (2016, dir Maren Ade). The guys regret to inform that this is the only episode of this month as technical difficulties prevented the release of a B-Side episode, as teased in "Brief January". Don't fret too much, however, as these difficulties have since been overcome and it should be on to the new schedule for next month.
