Andor is the greatest Star Wars we've ever seen on any screen and it's not close. My close friend Alan Malfavon joins in to talk about the brilliance of this show, what it means to us, and what we hope to see next.About our guest:Alan Malfavon resituates Mexico's socio-political, cultural, and economic networks with the Atlantic World and the Greater Caribbean, and it dissects and problematizes those networks by centering the Black and Afro-Mexican experience. His research interrogates and subverts archival silences that have erased Black and Afro-Mexican agency from narratives of Mexican identity and nation-state formation, seeking to diversify these narratives by foregrounding the voices, perspectives, and actions of Afro-descendants.

Want to let us know if you agree or have a "hot take" about our show or a burning Star Wars topic, hit the Holonet and send us a text!In episode 195 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast, Nate, Jake, and Chris dive into a spoiler-filled breakdown of Episodes 4 through 6 of Andor Season 2. Cassian infiltrates Ghorman under the alias “Varian Skye,” playing the long game while the Empire manipulates the narrative with a propaganda machine led by Director Krennic. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma walks a dangerous political tightrope, and Saw Gerrera's tragic origin story adds emotional weight to his radicalism.The Geeks also unpacks the brutal, emotionally charged moment when Bix takes justice into her own hands, the devastating loss of a key rebel, and the tense power dynamics brewing between Dedra, Syril, and the always-imperious Eedy.These episodes dig deep into the cost of rebellion — physically, psychologically, and morally — and we're here to break it all down.***The views expressed in this show are those of the hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government.***
Danny and Kevin return to a galaxy far, far away to discuss the first three episodes of Andor Season 2. All our favorites are back: Cassian, Bix, Brasso, Goober, Skulltutis, Therngo, Mon Mothma, Zorpaz, Dedra, Qyburn, Luthen, Copbot, Forest Whitaker, and of course, Syril Karn. Can a Star War ever truly be for grown-ups? Who knows and, if it's entertaining, who cares? May the 4th be with you. Follow us on Instagram and email us at coffeeanddeathsticks@gmail.com

On this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank break down episodes 4–6 of Andor Season 2. From the show's Cold War-style spycraft to its bold commentary on propaganda and rebellion, the hosts dig into what makes this arc one of the best in Star Wars storytelling. They explore how Bix's trauma brings emotional depth, why Luthen is playing 4D chess with everyone's lives, and how the Gorman resistance draws heavy inspiration from real-world history. Plus, they highlight the episode's most intense scenes, character arcs, and political parallels that make Andor so gripping. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and structure of the arc 00:27 Reaction to episodes 4–6 as a cohesive unit 01:15 The density and emotional weight of each episode 02:07 One-year time jump and Bix's PTSD 03:25 The cost of rebellion and addiction as escape 04:19 Luthen's manipulation and cold leadership 05:52 Cassian's struggle between sacrifice and morality 06:36 The spy thriller format and deeper writing 08:07 Espionage layers and who is playing who 10:15 Gorman as the sacrificial spark 11:06 Syril's complex alignment and subtle performance 13:54 Star Wars universe tie-ins and worldbuilding 15:13 Syril's mom and media manipulation parallels 18:45 Historical inspiration from the French resistance 21:11 Willimon's role and Saw Gerrera's brutal methods 24:33 The cost of extreme leadership and terrorism debate 26:01 Bix and Cassian's revived relationship 27:14 Spy fashion and Cassian's new role 29:22 The tension-filled party and political subterfuge 33:24 Claire's risky heist and what it might cost 36:10 Cinta and Vel's fractured relationship 37:52 The devastating fallout of one fatal mistake 40:07 The armory's shadow and symbolism 42:17 Gorman's inevitable fall and the false hope 43:18 Final thoughts and next episode hopes Key Takeaways: Andor continues to push the boundaries of Star Wars storytelling with rich political themes and complex character dynamics. Luthen is playing a dangerous game, manipulating even his allies for the sake of the greater good. The Gorman resistance mirrors the real-life Maquis of WWII, making the rebellion feel historically grounded. Syril emerges as one of the most compelling wild cards, torn between loyalty and doubt. The show's choice not to spoon-feed the audience adds emotional weight and realism. Bix's arc powerfully illustrates the long-term psychological toll of war. The episodes' spy-thriller tone reinforces the stakes of espionage in a galaxy ruled by fear and control. Memorable Quotes: “Bix just has all the worst things. Between the PTSD, addiction, and everything she's endured… this is some heavy Star Wars.” “Luthen is willing to sacrifice Gorman so that others might rise. He's using the tools of the enemy to beat them.” “They're not heroes. They're kindling. They just don't know it.” “This is the spy thriller we didn't know we were missing.” “Are these rebels heroes or tyrants? It depends on which side of the coin you're on.” Call to Action: If you enjoyed this deep dive into Andor Season 2, be sure to subscribe, leave us a review, and share the episode using the hashtag #GormanIsAGoner.

He portrays the young Frank Lucas, a real-life gangster who becomes the right-hand man of Forest Whitaker's character, Bumpy Johnson. Season 4 delves into Lucas's early years, exploring his arrival in Harlem and his initial interactions with Bumpy Johnson. While Denzel Washington portrayed Lucas in the film "American Gangster," "Godfather of Harlem" offers a different perspective, focusing on the period before Lucas's rise to prominence. The series, inspired by the life of crime boss Bumpy Johnson, follows his attempts to regain control of Harlem after being released from prison.

In this emotionally charged episode of Born to Watch, the team marches into the searing heat and moral quagmire of Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986), a film that's arguably the definitive Vietnam War movie of its era. Whitey, G-Man, and the V8 Interrupter Dan revisit the battlefield with a mix of reverence, nostalgia, and hard truths, dissecting the film's impact, legacy, and the deep emotional chord it struck back in the day—and still does today.Kicking off with stories of their first encounters with Platoon, the guys quickly descend into one of their most layered and personal discussions to date. Whitey recalls being told by his dad he wasn't allowed to watch the film—despite already seeing Apocalypse Now and Mad Max at age six. That rebellious spark only deepened his bond with the movie once he finally got his hands on it as a teen. Dan admits to cheating on the crew, watching Platoon with his war-obsessed neighbours back in the ‘80s, completely unaware at the time of the deeper commentary Stone was laying down. For G-Man, Platoon was a rite of passage during his VHS-rented youth, watched on loop like a war-soaked mixtape.But the nostalgia is tempered with fresh eyes. This time around, Platoon hits different. What once felt like badass war action now reveals itself as a gut-punching meditation on morality, survival, and the breakdown of innocence. The guys explore the duality of the film's core—the Elias vs. Barnes dichotomy—representing each soldier's internal war. It's not just America vs. the Viet Cong; it's soul vs. savagery, duty vs. darkness.The cast? Stacked. And not just with stars—but future legends. Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe snagged Oscar nods for roles that flipped their usual screen personas. Charlie Sheen's Chris Taylor acts as the audience's moral compass, thrust into a world of chaos with no road map. And in the wings, you catch early glimpses of Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, Kevin Dillon, and even a scene-stealing John C. McGinley. The Born to Watch crew marvel at the rawness and authenticity that pulses through every frame—helped in no small part by the film's unique decision to shoot in sequence, letting the emotional weight build naturally.And then there's the man behind the camera: Oliver Stone. A real-life Vietnam vet, Stone channelled his firsthand experience into a script that didn't just depict war—it unpacked it, exposed it, and dared to say that sometimes, the worst of humanity wears your own uniform. The pod digs into how Stone's commitment to realism (aided by military advisor Dale Dye, another vet) shaped everything from the dialogue to the weight of each bullet fired.There's the usual Born to Watch flavor too—G-Man's got the box office and awards rundown (hello, Best Picture and Best Director at the ‘87 Oscars), while Dan goes on a bandana-fueled tangent and questions whether Lieutenant Wolfe might be cinema's most inept officer. Whitey can't resist diving into the musical legacy, from that haunting Samuel Barber theme to how the soundtrack now echoes the trauma and tragedy of a generation.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without Listen to This, Voicemail Roulette (shoutout to “Will the Worky”), and the always-fun “Hit, Sleeper, Dud” segment, where Heartbreak Ridge, Extreme Prejudice, and King Kong Lives get their moment in the spotlight—or the firing line.By the end, the question looms large: Platoon or Apocalypse Now? Each host makes their case in what might be the pod's most respectful debate yet. As G-Man puts it, Platoon is about the war within, while Apocalypse Now is a descent into madness. Either way, both films leave an indelible mark—and so does this episode.So strap in, pop smoke, and join the squad as Born to Watch heads into the heart of darkness with Platoon. This one's for the grunts, the film buffs, and anyone who ever got lost in the jungle of morality and memory.

Wayne Wang's "Smoke" doesn't look like a Christmas movie, sound like a Christmas movie or ever feel like a Christmas movie. It really isn't, but the final fifteen minutes of this terrific ensemble film features a moving and poetic Christmas story that makes it worthy of inclusion on this show (hey, it has more Chrsitmas in it than Disney's "Babes In Toyland"). The film stars Harvey Keitel, William Hurt, Forrest Whitaker, Stockard Channing, Ashley Judd, Giancarlo Esposito, Harold Perrineau and Jared Harris. It also has a distinction of winning an obscure MTV Movie Award for a category that was never repeated ever again. Also, Kerry talks about three movies from "1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." Book movies covered: "Smoke" (1995) "Deseret" (1995) "The Phenix City Story" (1955)
Keith of the Horror Convos Podcast joins Caitlin to cover 1995's Species, a movie that is both campy and complex. We talk about the movie's themes and production, and we cover many horror tropes: the succubus, Frankenstein monsters, monstrous menstruation, monstrous motherhood, and science gone awry. Tangents include: fighting sharks vs fighting gators, believing in aliens and/or ghosts, tarot readings, sci fi universes we'd live in, and technology we'd like to see.
