What to Watch podcast: The Book of Boba Fett closes its first chapter in the season finale

Grogu, a.k.a. Baby Yoda, is faced with a big decision on the season finale of Disney+'s The Book of Boba Fett, after the Mandalorian presented him with a gift in last week's penultimate episode, while the arrival of major Star Wars villain Cad Bane foreshadows a showdown with Boba Fett.

Meanwhile, on The Real Housewives of Orange County, the tequila is flowing on the ladies' last night in Cabo, which means some drunken fun but also more drama for Gina, Heather, and Noella at dinner.

And a new season of Netflix's animated series Disenchantment kicks off, with Princess Bean trying to defend the castle from the feisty elves and the evil Queen Dagmar.

Plus: We run down Tuesday's Oscar nominations, including the snubs and surprises. Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan tells us what she's watching (including one of this year's Oscar nominees). And entertainment headlines — a possible spin-off of The Rookie starring Niecy Nash; news about Love, Victor's final season; and the latest on the potential end to Leslie Jones' Olympics live-tweeting — and trivia.
