"Andor," the latest Star Wars miniseries, is spin off of the film "Rogue One," which is a prequel to the original Stat Wars trilogy. It's considered grittier, grungier, and more political than any its predecessors.In this latest G&R Arts and Culture episode, Scott talks with comrade and organizer Matt Leonard about the politics and cultural relevance of Andor in the age of Trump. Green and Red's Arts and Culture series looks at film, television, music, book and other art that raises political consciousness.

This classic comic strip was a staple of the 80's and spotlighted important political and social issues while selling stuffed penguins. Jay joined in the fun of so many Star Wars fans when he experienced Andor season 2. The storytelling is award-worthy, the performances were sensational, and it will go down as one of the best Star Wars tales of all time. And of course you should follow it up with Andor season three, also known as Rogue One.      Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay is filled with Dredd. Judge Dredd that is. The 2012 film starring Karl Urban is pretty true to the original and less campy than it's 90s counterpart. Read his article on RetroZap.com.

In 2018 when Disney announced a Star Wars TV series based on the Cassian Andor character from Rogue One (2016) the news was met with a resounding … Really?  In 24 episodes, three years of our time, covering five years of his time, we've come to know Cassian Andor better than any other character in the Star Wars cinematic universe. We've seen his triumphs, his failures, and the sometimes meandering path that led him to his demise in Rogue One. It's the tale of how a thief became a spy, who became a hero and some of the best storytelling under the Star Wars banner. You can argue about it being slow at times, you can point out the areas where it gets obsessed with minutia, but when you step back and look at the big picture it's an amazing and unique narrative. This week the Joes address the final episodes of Andor and cover some Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

The hosts appreciate how the film shows that not every "good guy" is truly good, creating moral complexity that was later expanded upon in Andor.Character Development and Moral ComplexityThe discussion focuses on Cassian Andor's character, noting how the film introduces him shooting his own ally to escape—an action that sets the tone for a morally complex story. This portrayal differs dramatically from traditional heroic characters in Star Wars. Jyn Erso's character development receives significant attention, with the hosts praising Felicity Jones' performance and how she portrays someone initially driven by selfish reasons who gradually buys into the rebellion's cause.The Film's Impact on Star Wars StorytellingMatthew highlights how important Rogue One was for expanding the Star Wars universe, demonstrating that compelling stories could be told without Force-using protagonists and focusing on characters who contribute to small battles rather than winning the entire war. This approach opened doors for projects like Andor, which the hosts consider among the best Star Wars content produced.Topics Discussed:How did the darker, grittier tone of Rogue One differentiate it from traditional Star Wars films?What made K-2SO one of the most memorable droid characters in the franchise?How does Orson Krennic embody the Empire's bureaucratic infighting and ambition?Why was Saw Gerrera's transition from animation to live-action significant?What continuity issues exist between Rogue One and A New Hope, and why don't they matter?How does the film's ending connect emotionally to the original Star Wars?Why is the Darth Vader hallway scene considered one of the most iconic moments in Star Wars?The episode concludes with all three hosts affirming Rogue One as one of their favorite Star Wars films, with Erin declaring she'll "preach about it till the day I die" and Alex suggesting it's the perfect film to recommend to people unsure about Star Wars or who think the franchise has been ruined. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

This week on the 3 Geeks Podcast, we're diving into a jam-packed episode full of thrills, wild theories, big reactions, and that signature geeky banter you've come to expect! We kick things off with our spoiler-free review of Final Destination: Bloodlines. After years of silence, the franchise is back — but does this new installment bring fresh energy or fall into old traps? We break down what works, what misses, and whether it's worth heading to the theater for another round of death-defying suspense. Then, it's time to head to a galaxy far, far away as we take a deep dive into everything we know about Season 2 of Andor. The first season blew fans away with its mature storytelling and grounded rebellion arc. Now, we're talking predictions, character arcs, and how this series might tie into the larger Star Wars timeline. Will Cassian continue his transformation into the rebel spy we meet in Rogue One? We've got thoughts. As always, Mike brings the chaos with a collection of bizarre and hilarious YouTube video finds that had us laughing, gasping, and asking, “What did we just watch?” From internet oddities to unexpected gems, these clips are worth a watch — and we want to hear about your weirdest YouTube rabbit holes, too! We also hit pause on the laughs for a moment to talk superheroes, specifically the brand-new trailer for James Gunn's Superman. With fresh casting, a new tone, and the weight of the entire DCU's future on its shoulders, this film has fans buzzing. We give our honest reactions and discuss what this reboot means for Superman and beyond. To wrap things up, we're getting creative with a Double Feature Challenge! We each pick one movie currently in theaters and pair it with the perfect companion film. Our choices range from thoughtful to ridiculous — and might just inspire your next movie night. Whether you're a horror hound, a Star Wars scholar, a DCU defender, or just here for the fun, this episode has something for every kind of geek!

Welcome To The Party Pal: The Mind-Bending Film & Television Podcast You Didn't Know You Needed!

This episode of Welcome To The Party Pal celebrates the second season of Andror, the American science fiction political spy thriller drama television series created by Tony Gilroy for Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016), which itself is a prequel to the original Star Wars film (1977). The series follows thief-turned-rebel spy Cassian Andor during the five years that lead to the events of the two films, exploring how he becomes radicalized against the Galactic Empire and how the wider Rebel Alliance is formed. Diego Luna reprises his role as Cassian Andor from Rogue One and serves as an executive producer. The series also stars Adria Arjona, Stellan Skarsgård, Ben Mendelsohn, Benjamin Bratt, and Alan Tudyk. In this episode co-hosts Michael Shields and River Jordan explain why they believe this series is an absolute triumph from its inception to its final, heart-wrenching moments. Hosted on Acast.

It's hard to believe that 'Rogue One' premiered nearly a decade ago. At the time, it was fairly well received, considered to be a decent first step into the standalone Star Wars movies, if not a bit messy. As the years passed, we learned more about the production. Gareth Edwards, who retained sole directing credit, was assisted by Tony Gilroy to "fix" the project. Tony went so far as to call it a "corpse" when he came aboard for rewrites and reshoots. It was Tony's inclusion that brought us some of the movies most memorable moments, and ultimately led him to leading the charge on 'Andor', a prequel project that flew under the radar as hits like 'The Mandalorian' hogged the spotlight. With 'Andor' now complete, considered by many to be a masterpiece in storytelling, not just in Star Wars but on television in general, now is the most appropriate time to reexamine the movie that spawned the Cassian-centered prequel series with fresh eyes. 'Andor', which leads directly into the events of 'Rogue One' recontextualizes much of the film, creating a unique viewing experience that pays off a multitude of threads that are brilliantly laid over the two seasons of 'Andor'. It takes the movie, which was already pretty good, and makes it great. Now existing as part of a whole that weaves a cohesive narrative from the nascent moments of the Rebellion all the way through to the destruction of the Death Star in 1977 (the seed that begat ALL Star Wars, and what we appropriately align our Star Wars BBY calendars to). It all feels wholistic and considered when viewed from the broader perspective - an accomplishment that should set a shining example of what Star Wars can and should aspire to.

Frank and Jonathan rate Andor's Season-2 finale a near-perfect 9/10, debate the brand-new Superman trailer, and break down Marvel's first Ironheart footage. They also react to Fortnite's glitchy AI Darth Vader and sit down with fantasy author Richard Sparks to explore his MMO-inspired series New Rock, New Role. If you crave deep-dive Star Wars analysis, fresh trailer reactions, and book recommendations, this episode is your ultimate geek catch-up.

Ironheart promises a scrappy, community-driven story that contrasts Tony Stark's privilege with Riri Williams' Chicago roots. The new Superman trailer revives the Christopher Reeve optimism while dropping viewers into a fully populated DCU. AI voice clones (like Fortnite's Darth Vader) are hype-worthy but need tighter safeguards before brands unleash them. Richard Sparks' New Rock series mixes MMO mechanics, 80s fantasy, and laugh-out-loud camaraderie—perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Willow. Memorable Quotes “Andor proves real rebellion relies on janitors jamming door locks, not just Jedi with lightsabers.” – Frank “Riri Williams is Iron Man if Tony grew up on the South Side and had to build a Mark I from junkyard scraps.” – Frank “AI Vader sounded amazing…until the Internet taught him four-letter words.” – Jonathan Call to Action Love the show?
