Episode 91 - All Out of Perfect

The final three episodes of Andor are out now on Disney+, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how Tony and his talented team brought this story to a close. What was once declared a TV series about a mysterious and elusive spy from Rogue One has now become the foundational tale of the Rebellion itself. Come home to yourself, and join us as we discuss all that happened in the three-episode finale and share in all the fun that is talking Andor one last time. May the force be with you.

Episode 90 - Who Are You?

Much like a force healer, we feel the weight of things in the pressurized, penultimate arc of Andor Season 2. From the harrowing Ghorman Massacre to Mon’s stirring speech and courageous move to name Emperor Palpatine as a monster and force of evil in the galaxy, we discuss it all and even connect the dots to the rest of the canon established in Rogue One and Rebels.

Episode 89 - Calibrate Your Enthusiasm

The light is blinking, and that means it’s time to leave the safehouse and pod about Andor! This week, we dig into episodes 204-206 and parse through all the character arcs and events. Early in the episode, Grant shares a major theory about our favorite Antiquarian. This is a Cantina Chronicle you will not want to miss!

Sagrona Teema! Saddle up to the bar, grab a nog, and join us in a toast to the fallen. With Grant shipwrecked and stuck in the middle of two warring factions, Ben and Adam discuss all things episodes 1 - 3 of Andor Season 2. Listen as we dive into
