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.

MUSIC, STUART, FILM. That's the premise for this episode, where the guys talk the newly released album Music, Fashion, Film by Charli XCX, the new Big Bang Theory spin-off Stuart Fails to Save the Universe and the recent feature The Odyssey (2026, dir. Christopher Nolan). Sorry it's come so late; Osian had an Odyssey of their own, and Osiansey, if you will, as they tried to make it back from their Haven Holiday. The Cyclops offered them his cheese, and they asked if he had any Babybels instead. It really pissed Poseidon off, hence the delay. Now everyone's back a Code Purple HQ, things should go back to normal.

Is your social credit score low? Fear not, as you can raise it by listening to this new episode of the Code Purple podcast, for the theme this month is Chinese Cinema. The guys have chosen the films In the Heat of the Sun (1994, dir. Jiang Wen), Detective Chinatown (2015, dir. Chen Sicheng) and Only the River Flows (2023, dir. Wei Shujun). The recent feature of the month is Minions & Monsters (2026, dir. Pierre Coffin), and we must warn that listening to this segment will not raise your social credit score; it might even lower it.
