Podcasts about andor season

It's the end of an era. And so many lives.This week, we trace the ways that Andor knits itself together into the wider tapestry of Star Wars, specifically by tying itself to Rogue One. We question whether the Rebels' sacrifices are cheapened by Luke Skywalker's heroism in Episode IV, define heroism through two key characters—Bix and Nemik—and investigate the reasons why Rebel High Command…is like that.We also name our favorite aspects of Andor, and crown it the ultimate Star Wars show.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from a veteran and a new fan. New episodes every Tuesday.Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

Send us a textThe rebellion's darkest hour becomes Star Wars' finest achievement in Andor Season 2's concluding episodes. We dive deep into how Tony Gilroy crafted a masterclass in tension, political intrigue, and character development that forever changes our understanding of the Star Wars universe.The Gorman massacre stands as perhaps the most haunting sequence ever created in Star Wars - a perfectly constructed trap that shows the Empire's ruthless calculus and leaves us questioning how we'd respond in similar circumstances. This leads to fascinating discussions about Syril Karn's moral journey: is his horror at witnessing genocide enough to redeem his previous actions, or does his confrontation with Dedra only further complicate his character?Mon Mothma emerges as the unexpected MVP of these episodes, delivering a Senate speech that rivals anything in the franchise for political tension. The procedural details - senators yielding their time, parliamentary maneuvers - create an authenticity rarely seen in science fiction. This groundwork makes her eventual leadership of the Rebellion all the more earned and meaningful.The Force makes its first significant appearance through the mysterious healer who identifies Cassian as a "messenger" - a subtle but powerful reminder that even in this grounded take on Star Wars, cosmic forces still guide the galaxy's fate. Meanwhile, Luthen's capture and Kleya's difficult decision to ensure he doesn't fall into Imperial hands delivers emotional devastation without feeling manipulative.Perhaps most satisfying is how perfectly these episodes connect to Rogue One, answering questions we didn't even know we had. From Cassian's pre-existing knowledge of Galen Erso to his partnership with the newly-reprogrammed K-2SO, every element enriches our understanding of his journey toward Scarif. The show demonstrates how prequels should function - not just filling gaps, but transforming our perspective on what comes after.Why does this series resonate so deeply? Because it never forgets that resistance requires sacrifice, that freedom fighters aren't always heroic, and that hope often comes at terrible cost. Andor depicts the messy, complicated birth of a rebellion with unflinching honesty - proving that Star Wars can deliver sophisticated adult storytelling without sacrificing what made us fall in love with this galaxy far, far away.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

We've finally arrived at the end and, goodness, do we hate that it's over. We've said it so many times, but this is a very special show. We discuss the satisfying end of the series and so many character's journeys—Luthen, Kleya, Cass, Bix, Vel, Dedra—even Partigaz. Plus, we spend time on some of the lighter moments in this arc, which are necessary and beautiful in their own right.

Get ready for a "heavy" and anxiety-inducing ride on the Purrgil Pod as Hunter and Jessica dive into an episode where everyone is "running out of time".•First up, Cassian's bizarrely hotwiring a TIE fighter on the "Farm Planet" (Mina Rau)—not to fly, but for communications. Predictably, things go sideways fast with an Imperial crackdown and tragic ends.•Meanwhile, on Chandrila, Mon Mothma's daughter Leida's wedding is a masterclass in "bizarre traditions", complete with braid-cutting. But the real drama is the "money laundering and betrayal" crescendo orchestrated by Luthen, leaving Mon Mothma to visibly "unravel" at her own reception.•Finally, Coruscant brings the "tense and awkward dinner" from hell, as Dedra and Syril host the "world's best mother-in-law," Eedy, who is outrageously judgmental. Dedra, in an "Oh. Oh, mic drop" moment, boldly puts Eedy in her place.All this and more in this episode of the Purrgil Pod.Find us on Facebook, Mastodon, and the web at www.purrgilpod.com

We are finally taking a look back at Andor's second season. When we ask ourselves the question, "Is Andor's second season truly a masterpiece?", we find it hard to answer any way other than an unequivocal YES!

In this Junk Filter sequel to our discussion of season 1 of Tony Gilroy's Star Wars: Andor streaming series, the writers Roxana Hadadi and Corey Atad return to assess the second and final season, which compresses the four years leading up to the start of Rogue One into four sets of three-episode arcs.On this episode we discuss the program's political content and Gilroy's refusal to play Culture War games during the promotion of the series. We cover the controversial first arc of the series which parallels the plans of the Empire with the Final Solution of the Nazi era, as they flood the galaxy with propaganda to demonize a planet they plan to colonize, and how a fascist regime uses sexual violence and unwitting dupes who think they're serving a greater good through their collaboration. And we talk about the upsetting eighth episode of season 2 which depicts a massacre on the “French Planet” of Ghorman, clearly modelled on Nazi-occupied France in World War II, which of course has parallels both to Gaza and the Trump Era.Plus: the fates of the show's ‘Power Couple' Dedra and Syril, the barnburning Saw Gerrara monologue, and Tony Gilroy's illuminating interview with Ross Douthat, who is determined in their discussion to tag Andor (and Michael Clayton) as ‘left wing art' and fails miserably.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Free cross-over episode with the Bang-Bang Podcast. In this finale to our Andor series, Van and Lyle are joined by returning guest Paul Adlerstein and—making his first appearance on the pod—Matt Duss, former foreign policy advisor to Senator Bernie Sanders and current executive vice president at the Center for International Policy.The conversation spans the closing arc of Andor Season 2 and Rogue One, treating them as one long meditation on revolutionary grief, sacrifice, and strategy. We reflect on Kleya Marki's backstory, Deedra Meero's karmic consignment to the labor camps, and the quiet closure of Bix Caleen's journey from warrior to survivor, cradling new life in a liberated field.We also discuss Cassian's confrontation with the rebel leadership and his scathing defense of Luthen Rael. Namely, his accusation that those who sit in safety have committed only a fraction of the sacrifice they demand of others. As well as Bail Organa's (wink wink, nod nod) “May the Force be with you, captain,” sealing the fate of Cassian's transition from hunted thief to selfless insurgent.In our Rogue One discussion, we note the apocalyptic awe of Krennic's “Oh, it's beautiful” as he watches Jedha obliterated, a moment that recalls the real-world language of U.S. reporters and officials after Hiroshima.Check out the Bang-Bang Podcast and subscribe: https://www.bangbangpod.com/

【聊了什么The What】 在一个充满官僚主义的银河帝国中，革命究竟意味着什么？当理想主义者遭遇现实的残酷，"正义"与"邪恶"的界限是否真的那么清晰？从Luthen的革命理念到Dedra的极权思维，剧集以令人不安的方式探讨了权力、反抗与人性的本质。 革命的本质是什么？它需要什么样的代价和牺牲？从卢森的马基雅维利式的组织者形象，到帝国完美官僚的非人性，再到太空法国的群众运动，《安多》探讨了反抗与压迫、个人与集体、理想与现实之间的复杂关系。 Andor Season 2 is a unique work in the Star Wars universe that features no lightsabers, Force powers, or chosen ones, instead focusing on marginalized characters and the imperial bureaucracy. The series tells the story of how the Empire was overthrown, showcasing the desperation of ordinary people, cracks within the Empire, and the real cost of rebellion. As "a prequel to a prequel" of the original Star Wars trilogy, Andor Season 2 ends by seamlessly transitioning into the film Rogue One, revealing these characters' ultimate fates. The show explores several thought-provoking themes: Is the nature of revolution romantic idealism or bloody reality? How does the Empire's propaganda machine justify colonization and genocide through stereotypes and inciting hatred? How do characters like Luther and Dedra represent different facets of revolution and oppression? Perhaps most importantly, in an age of rampant social media where everyone claims to possess "the truth," how can we discern the reality of history? 【时间轴 The When】 00:00:00 作为精神股东，终于看上了安多 00:01:40 安多作为星战宇宙中的奇特存在，没有光剑和原力，聚焦底层人物 00:06:52 太空法国：探讨帝国如何通过宣传和刻板印象为毁灭Gorman星球正名 00:11:15 Gorman事件：以及社交媒体时代的"真相"困境 00:26:01 Luthen，以及革命者如何成为他所憎恨的对象的映照 00:36:18 帝国官僚Dedra 00:47:32 安多：一个被写不进正史的英雄 00:52:37 必须得给安多留个孩子吗？？ 00:00:00 Introduction to Andor Season 2, explaining its unique place in the Star Wars universe 00:01:40 Star Wars with no lightsabers or Force 00:06:52 "Space France" - how the director transforms a historical footnote into the emotional core of the series 00:18:51 Reflecting on parallels between the Gorman massacre and real-world events, and the dilemma of "truth" in the social media era 00:26:01 Luthen: how a revolutionary becomes a reflection of what he hates 00:36:18 Dedra character analysis: Empire turns people into tools 00:47:32 Andor: a hero who won't make it into official history 00:52:37 Discussion of the series ending: does Andor need a kid? 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

In this episode, Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch breaks down why the show's mature storytelling, exceptional performances, and sharp writing set a new standard for the franchise.Neal dives into how Season 2 ambitiously spans four years across twelve episodes, seamlessly bridging the gap between Season 1 and Rogue One. He also explores the show's improved pacing, deep character arcs—especially for Cassian, Mon Mothma, Bix, and Dedra—and the way it tackles themes of love, loss, sacrifice, and resistance with genuine gravitas.TV Show Reactions from Giant Mess Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNNWtgwQsK8-iLVzE7p4cPf_K1KziiiSY Highlights include:The season's tight, purposeful structure and standout episodesHow the series avoids nostalgia traps, focusing instead on the real cost of rebellionThe seamless, essential connection to Rogue One and what it means for the larger sagaWhy critics and fans alike call this the best Star Wars since The Empire Strikes BackThis is an in-depth, spoiler-filled discussion of the show's triumphs, minor missteps, and lasting impact.

I was a former 4th string college quarterback and middle relief pitcher who thought an overpriced film and media studies degree was a smart choice. Now, I'm a single dad who likes to blog, vlog, podcast, write, edit, optimize, strategize, and over-analyze.  ABOUT "GIANT MESS":"Giant Mess" is a sloppy sports and entertainment podcast hosted by a giant mess, the Real Cinch Neal Lynch.

Send us a textAndor discussion starts at 21:49 minutesThe rebellion that will ultimately bring down the Empire doesn't begin with lightsabers or space battles – it starts with ordinary people pushed beyond their breaking point. Andor Season 2's first six episodes masterfully explore this transformation through multiple storylines that reveal the true cost of resistance.Following Cassian, Bix, and their companions as they hide on an agricultural world, we witness how the trauma of Imperial oppression shapes their decisions and drives them deeper into rebellion. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma navigates the treacherous waters of Imperial politics on Coruscant while trying to protect both her family and the secret resistance she funds. When these disparate storylines converge at a wedding sequence scored to hauntingly beautiful music, the result is some of the most sophisticated storytelling ever seen in Star Wars.The series doesn't shy away from showing the Empire's true nature. From propaganda campaigns that villainize entire planets to casual discussions about ecological destruction for resource extraction, we see how Imperial authoritarianism operates at every level. Orson Krennic's return adds crucial context to the machinations behind the Death Star project, while the addition of the planet Gorman – with its distinct culture and ecosystem built around unique spiders – demonstrates how thoroughly the creators have considered this world.What makes Andor exceptional is how it grounds these galaxy-spanning conflicts in deeply human stories. Bix's struggle with PTSD after Imperial torture, Saw Gerrera's dangerous Rhydonium addiction, and Cyril's misplaced faith in Imperial ideals all reveal different facets of life under tyranny. By examining the psychological cost of both oppression and resistance, Andor achieves a depth rarely seen in science fiction television.As the groundwork is laid for the unified Rebellion we'll eventually see in Rogue One, these episodes remind us that revolutions aren't built on spectacular moments, but on countless small acts of courage by people who simply refuse to accept injustice any longer. Ready to witness how ordinary people become the foundation of an extraordinary rebellion?
