Podcast appearances and mentions of Tony Gilroy

This week on The Treatment, Elvis Mitchell chats with Oscar-nominated screenwriter and director Tony Gilroy about the second season of the Disney+ epic Andor. Later, Elvis leads a conversation on the future impact of AI in the film industry with Range Media Partners' Peter Micelli, Google’s Neil Parris, and Sean Douglas. And on The Treat, Kerry Washington gives a shout out to the places that ground her.  

STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER will go in front of cameras later this year and we have fresh casting info, rumors and speculation about this upcoming film starring Ryan Gosling. Mark Hamill is on a media tour to promote his new film “The Life Of Chuck” but that doesn't stop interviewers from asking him about his Star Wars history. Mark addresses rumors that he's done playing Luke Skywalker and provides insight into that famous wardrobe malfunction from earlier this year when his pants fell down in front of an audience of his peers at the BAFTA awards. We also have fresh interview highlights from Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy, Bail Organa actor Benjamin Bratt, and Sam Witwer, who talks about the upcoming series, MAUL: SHADOW LORD. And for something completely different, we present you with a connection between John Lennon and STAR WARS that you may never have known before. 

Join the Marks as they grab a snorkel and swim the shores of Star Wars news looking for clamshells of conversation. On the latest episode we discuss Mark Hamill and his claims to have left behind the character of Luke Skywalker, look at the prospects of a future second season of The Book of Boba Fett, ask whether the negativity hurled at Kathleen Kennedy is in any warranted after Tony Gilroy voices his support and head back to Star Wars Fan Fun Day in Blackburn for a chat with creature performer Tom Wilton. All of this and some very tasty soup on the 227th episode of Making Tracks.

Today we continue our Lucasfilm ANDOR interviews!We were considerably nervous for all the interviews, but our second one was probably the most nerve-wracking! Up next we had the opportunity to chat with Creator and Showrunner, TONY GILROY! I have to commend my Group 1 teammates, we assembled and created a strategy on how to approach Tony, and thankfully everything went to much better than expected. We made Tony laugh, so I think we did pretty well.

Retrouvez l'analyse de la saison 2 d'Andor dans une discussion qui réunit Nicolas Allard, Draven et Océane Zerbini. La série Andor de Tony Gilroy est-elle toujours la meilleure chose qui soit arrivée à la franchise Star Wars depuis son rachat par Disney ? Centrée sur le personnage de Cassian Andor, elle se déroule avant Rogue One. Les douze épisodes de la deuxième saison actuellement diffusés sur Disney+ ont reçu les louanges des fans et de téléspectateurs. Plus adulte et plus sombre que les autres productions Star Wars, le show de Tony Gilroy semble être une anomalie dans cette lointaine galaxie. On en discute avec Océane Zebini (The Lemon Adaptation Club), Draven (GalactiFrak) et l'essayiste Nicolas Allard.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Buckle up, rebels! This week, we're diving headfirst into Andor Season 2's "Sagrona Teema Solom," and we explore Andor's gritty realism. Think muddy Yavin 4 survival tips (got any moldy meal bars?), Imperial audits hitting a little too close to home (thanks, Tony Gilroy!), and an unsettling lieutenant trying to hit on Bix. But don't worry, there's also space rock-paper-scissors played with "Roski rules" and a "silly space monster" cameo to keep things… Star Wars-y.Don't miss this chaotic, fanatical, and undeniably funny deep dive!

The ForceCast is BACK!!!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss the latest Star Wars news they missed since covering the latest show releases.First, Kennedy replacement rumors are hot and heavy, with Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck in the drivers' seat.Then, Tony Gilroy continues to insult Gareth Edwards, Mia Goth is in Starfighter, and does Ahsoka live? All that and more on this week's ForceCast!

ABOUT THE EPISODE —In episode 245 of Reel Therapy, Daniel and Donavon are joined by filmmaker Alexander Jefferey to talk all things Andor Season 2.From its grounded storytelling to its genre-defying tone, the conversation explores how the show continues to challenge what Star Wars can be — and whether we'll ever get something this bold again.We dig into how Andor reshapes the legacy of Rogue One, the show's political edge, and the creative risks that make it stand out in a galaxy full of nostalgia. Expect sharp insights, thoughtful analysis, and passionate debate about one of the most acclaimed pieces of modern Star Wars storytelling.TABLE OF CONTENTS --00:00:00 - About the Episode00:00:44 - Greetings00:01:35 - Andor - Season 201:14:48 - Final Thoughts01:17:20 - Before We GoABOUT THE SHOW —Season 2 of Andor picks up as the Rebellion begins to take shape, diving deeper into the personal cost of resistance across a fractured galaxy. As Cassian Andor is pulled further into the fight against the Empire, the series weaves a tense, character-driven story filled with espionage, sacrifice, and moral ambiguity.With its grounded tone, political subtext, and cinematic realism, Andor sets itself apart from traditional Star Wars fare. Created by Tony Gilroy, the show continues to challenge and elevate the franchise, offering a mature, slow-burn narrative that explores what it truly means to rebel — and what it costs.FIND US --To learn more about Alexander and follow his work, find him on:Threads: @alexanderjeffereyInstagram: @alexanderjeffereyFor everything Reel Therapy and 241 Studios, check out our website:LINK: https://www.241studios.com/Follow us on:Instagram: @reeltherapy_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/reeltherapypod

Welcome to a new podcast series from the Holmes Movies Podcast titled: Fascism On Film! Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events. On the first Fascism On Film episode Anders & Adam Holmes head back to a galaxy, far, far away to discuss Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and its Disney + prequel series Andor. Rogue One was released in 2016 and was a prequel to a New Hope. It showed how the Rebel Alliance stole the plans for the Death Star, which leads into the events of Star Wars: A New Hope. It stars an all star cast including Diego Luna who plays Cassian Andor. He would get his own series in the form of Andor which is set five years before the events of Rogue One. It looks at the origin story of Cassian and it shows what makes him the man we see in Rogue One. Andor also looks at the machinations and inner workings of the Galactic Empire and the beginnings and formation of the Rebel Alliance. It also has an all star cast which includes Stellan Skarsgård. Tony Gilroy who co-wrote Rogue One and oversaw reshoots on that film was the head writer and showrunner on Andor. A very grounded and realistic Star Wars show that tackles some very heavy themes.We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel, the famous location is featured briefly in one of the films.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws, The films is a available to watch in America , parts of Scandinavia (e.g. Denmark, Finland) & the United Kingdom on Amazon and also Apple TV.

Screenwriter Dan Gilroy talks about working with his brother Tony Gilroy and 'House Of Cards' writer Beau Willimon on crafting the nuts-and-bolts revolution story of the acclaimed 'Star Wars' series 'Andor.'Gilroy also talks about the possibility of doing more 'Star Wars,' and the upcoming 'Miami Vice' remake he is writing for 'Top Gun: Maverick' director Joseph Kosinski.

For the latest episode of "The Rogue Ones", hosts Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez sat down once again with Tony Gilroy, the creator and showrunner behind "Andor", to unpack the ambitious second season in full spoiler-filled detail.Created by Tony Gilroy and starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, “Andor” is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (which Gilroy co-wrote and famously helped reshape during reshoots). Set five years before the events of Rogue One, the show focuses on the origins of the Rebellion and how ordinary people — not just Jedi or Chosen Ones — stand up against oppression. Season two picks up a year later in the first three episodes and jumps one year ahead with each block of three afterwards, leading directly to the beginning of “Rogue One” by the end (read our review of season two here).READ MORE: The 75 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2025

Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Nerd Culture, dé nerd-podcast waar we alles bespreken wat speelt in de wereld van films, series, comics en popcultuur. In aflevering 212 duiken we in het laatste nieuws, checken we verse trailers en praten we je bij over alles wat je niet mag missen. Van Ridley Scott die afscheid neemt van Alien, tot geruchten over een terugkeer van True Detective met McConaughey en Harrelson, en Tony Gilroy die keihard moest knokken voor het budget van Andor seizoen 2. Zet je schrap, want we hebben weer een bomvolle show voor je klaarstaan!Ridley Scott is klaar met de Alien franchiseRidley Scott, de legendarische regisseur van de originele Alien, heeft aangekondigd dat hij niet langer actief zal bijdragen aan de franchise. Hoewel hij nog betrokken blijft als producent, vindt de 87-jarige filmmaker dat hij “genoeg heeft gedaan” na het regisseren van onder meer Prometheus en Alien: Covenant. Scott geeft aan dat hij na Alien Resurrection de kwaliteit van de reeks zag afnemen en betreurt dat Alien niet de status van Star Trek of Star Wars heeft bereikt. Toch koestert hij hoge verwachtingen voor de toekomst van de serie, zeker nu er nieuwe projecten aankomen zoals de film Alien: Romulus en de Hulu-serie Alien: Earth, waar Scott als uitvoerend producent bij betrokken blijft.True Detective keert terug naar z'n rootsNic Pizzolatto, de bedenker van True Detective, heeft onthuld dat hij een idee heeft voor een nieuw verhaal rond Rust Cohle en Marty Hart, gespeeld door Matthew McConaughey en Woody Harrelson. Hoewel hij nog niets heeft geschreven, heeft hij het concept al besproken met de acteurs, die openstaan voor een terugkeer. Pizzolatto stapte in 2019 zelf uit de serie nadat hij “spiritueel moe” was van de donkere thema's en zich wilde focussen op het vaderschap. Inmiddels werkt HBO aan een vijfde seizoen van True Detective met Issa López als showrunner, nadat zij eerder verantwoordelijk was voor Night Country.Streaming is dood volgens Disney insidersAndor-bedenker Tony Gilroy onthulde tijdens het ATX Television Festival dat hij hard moest vechten voor het budget van seizoen 2. Ondanks het succes van seizoen 1 kreeg hij van Disney te horen dat “streaming dood is” en dat er minder geld beschikbaar was. Gilroy vocht echter om de creatieve vrijheid en schaal van de serie te behouden. Hij benadrukte dat hij bij Andor nooit concessies hoefde te doen, zelfs niet toen controversiële uitspraken als “F*ck the Empire” werden gemaakt. Ondanks Disney's verschuiving van streaming naar bioscoopfilms blijft Andor een van de meest geprezen Star Wars-series tot nu toe. 00:00:00 Nerd Culture #21200:00:20 Wat gaan we vandaag doen?00:06:07 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:06:30 The Phoenician Scheme00:10:30 Mission Impossible Rogue Nation00:14:47 Alien: Earth Trailer00:33:46 Ridley Scott is in principe klaar met de Alien franchise00:39:50 Tom Felton keert terug als Draco Malvoy00:42:23 George R.R.

Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al discuss Tony Gilroy's Star Wars Disney+ two-season TV show. Should this actually be a Star Wars show given how different in tone it was? The show adds meat (and banality!) to the evil of the Empire and the rough life of a rebel. We talk characters, themes, settings, and all that other literary stuff. For more, visit prettymuchpop.com.

Does Hollywood have anything interesting left to say?

Plus: how the politics of Andor resonate in today's world, what it's like working within the Disney machine, and the creative complexities behind bringing such an ambitious story to life.

On the latest episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester continue their analysis of Season Two of the Disney+ streaming series Andor: A Star Wars Story with a discussion centered on the Ghorman storyline heavily featured across Episodes 4 to 8 and culminating in the eighth episode focused entirely on the the tragedy of the Ghorman Massacre. One major theme of this storyline is the power of propaganda, introduced in the first Imperial scenes of the season's first episode. We then consider other forms of Imperial manipulation of the events on Ghorman, and the ideas Andor presents about oppression and resistance through the lens of Imperial military occupation, the Ghorman Front and public opposition, and the role of Luthen's agents on the road to the Massacre. These themes and ideas are reflected across the characterization and character arcs of numerous individuals in these episodes, including Cassian, Luthen, and Wilmon; Vel and Cinta; Dedra, Syril, and Partagaz; and even Mon Mothma and Director Krennic. We also examine how the various new characters from Ghorman – particularly Carro Rylanz, Enza Rylanz, Samm, Thela, and Lezine – illustrate the themes and ideas of the storyline, and how their experiences of oppression and resistance influence their decisions and actions leading up to, and during, the Massacre. In media appearances promoting Andor Season Two, creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy has spoken extensively about the real-world influences on his storytelling in the series, especially his lifelong passion for reading and learning about revolutions across the world and throughout history. Our discussion considers several of these influences, such as wartime propaganda, especially in the twentieth century. Gilroy also references both the French Resistance to Nazi occupation during World War II and the subsequent Algerian resistance to French colonial control in subsequent decades, portrayed in the classic film The Battle of Algiers (1966), which influenced the visual style of the eighth episode in particular. We also point out connections to the American Revolution, French Revolution, and Haitian Revolution, and the significance of Gilroy's mentions of Oliver Cromwell and the Baader-Meinhof Group. Like George Lucas, who drew heavily on fictional and nonfictional influences when first creating his ideas for the initial Star Wars films, Tony Gilroy's Andor contains an insightful and impactful combination of fiction and nonfiction inspirations.

The Rogue Ones: A Star Wars Andor Podcast returns with another deep-dive into "Andor" Season 2, this time spotlighting the woman at the heart of the rebellion's political front: Mon Mothma, as portrayed by Genevieve O'Reilly. While the character has long been a stoic fixture in the "Star Wars" galaxy, "Andor" redefines her as something much more profound. She's a woman navigating deep isolation, fractured loyalties, and the exhausting burden of secrecy under Imperial rule.Created by Tony Gilroy and starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, “Andor” is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (which Gilroy co-wrote and famously helped reshape during reshoots). Set five years before the events of Rogue One, the show focuses on the origins of the Rebellion and how ordinary people — not just Jedi or Chosen Ones — stand up against oppression. Season two picks up a year later in the first three episodes and jumps one year ahead with each block of three afterwards, leading directly to the beginning of “Rogue One” by the end. (read our review of season two here)

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hosting a panel at UTA for a screening of ANDOR - the Star Wars spinoff series from creator Tony Gilroy. It was there that I met today's guest, executive producer, Sanne Wohlenberg. Check that out here: https://youtu.be/mGe1Ec3nhv8 Sanne is a German-born television producer working primarily in the United Kingdom. After working on multiple episodes of the critically acclaimed series BLACK MIRROR, she went on to win an Emmy Award in 2019 for Outstanding Limited Series as the producer of CHERNOBYL, followed by a Producers Guild of America nomination for The David L. Wolper Award for Outstanding Producer of a Limited Series the following year. In 2022, Sanna joined ANDOR as a non-writing EP and lucky for us, helped breathe fresh new life into the franchise. During our conversation, Sanne and I discussed pivoting from law to entertainment, choosing talent over credits, and why you don't have to be a STAR WARS fanatic to fall into the target audience for ANDOR.

ANDOR is over, but the conversation about this show's impact and resonance has just begun. Tricia Barr and Sarah Woloski continue our conversation from last month, sharing our thoughts on this incredible show. Our main discussion considers Tony Gilroy's comments from the final ANDOR: Declassified Episode, in which he states “The five women at the end of the show are what the show is about. It's the victory, it's the pain, it's the life that these five women had that gives the show it's dramatic punch at the end.” Who are these women and how are they impactful in the show?

Now that ANDOR has wrapped up, we aren't quite ready yet to let it go. We scoured the web to collect the best interview highlights featuring Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy, who provides valuable insights into the finished series and gives us a lot to talk about. FORTNITE recently revealed an all-new A.I. powered Darth Vader character that players can interact with via voice text, so naturally because it's the internet, people started to manipulate the “Sith-Bot” to say outrageous and unthinkable things. Of course, we had to try ourselves so you can hear what Darth has to say about Rebel Force Radio. It ain't pretty. Big Announcement! We reveal info about when ticket sales will begin for this September's RFR at RANCHO OBI-WAN event.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt mark the release of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning by doing a non-spoiler, non-epic (less than 20 minutes!) chat with that film's director, the legendarily loquacious Christopher McQuarrie, [26:00 - 43:06 approx] and have a lovely natter with the stars of the new Wes Anderson film, The Phoenician Scheme, Benicio del Toro and Michael Cera. [1:01:37 - 1:15:35 approx] Right at the end of the show, we also bring you an extended excerpt from our Andor s2 spoiler chat with that show's creator, Tony Gilroy, who tells Ben Travis all about the fates of certain characters. Do not listen if you haven't seen Andor! [1:43:43 - 1:56:02 approx] Elsewhere, Chris Hewitt is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and John Nugent, to talk about Cannes and Cruise, run their collective eye over the week's movie news, and review The Final Reckoning, The Phoenician Scheme, Lilo & Stitch, and Guy Ritchie's Fountain Of Youth. Enjoy.

Critically-acclaimed Andor has returned. Politically sophisticated and emotionally bracing, Tony Gilroy's Star Wars series about the birth of a rebellion has returned for a second and final season. Does it live up to its first season's incredible highs and adult-minded storytelling? We discuss and review the show, its odd release schedule, and where it ranks within the shaky Star Wars canon.

The Bourne franchise was as good as finished upon the conclusion of 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum. But franchises never truly die if there's profitablity at stake!

Jeremy Renner steps into the universe as Adjacent Bourne aka Aaron Cross, a Blackbriar super soldier agent enhanced with pharmaceuticals forced to go on the ran because Jason Bourne can't stop running around for just a god damn minute.
