Andorks: A "Star Wars: Andor" Rewatch Podcast

You’ve been waiting for it, and it’s finally arrived: it’s time for Kino Loy is tell all of Narkina 5 that there is only. One. Way. Out.
So to mark the occasion, we're honored to be joined by our friend, writer and the host of X-Ray Vision and Wait a Second..., Jason Concepcion! Come along as we break down Andy Serkis’s monumental speech, talk about political recuperation, consider George Lucas’s un-produced “Underworld” television show, finally get the hell off of this prison, and more!
... But, before we start: you do know how to swim, right?

The Serkis is in town, so we're making a detour.
ANDOR's Narkina 5 arc wouldn’t work without the profound performance of Andy Serkis as Kino Loy. He embodies the angers of a man trapped inside a political reality that seems unchangeable, let alone escapeable.
So when we heard he was making a CGI(!) reboot(!!) of George Orwell's Animal Farm (!!!) starring Seth Rogen (!!!!) released by Angel Studios (!!!!!) the studio behind SOUND OF FREEDOM (!!!!!!) we knew we had to cover it.
We couldn't be trusted to observe this cultural object alone, so somehow we convinced Jake Serwin and Ian Rhine from Pod Casty for Me to bear witness with us.
Now it's your turn to listen. Oink oink.

This week on Andorks, just as our heroes bravely step out of the shop floor of Narkina 5-D, your hosts step out of their ideological safe space to welcome this week's guest, Eric Boehm, a libertarian(!!) journalist at Reason magazine!
Eric joins us as we cross the midpoint of ANDOR's Episode 10 "One Way Out" to talk about his interview with Tony Gilroy, libertarianism versus socialism, Shin Godzilla, the centrality of tariffs to both the Trump administration and the Star Wars prequels, the legacy of the Ron Paul 2008 campaign, subcontracting on the Death Star, how saying "fuck ICE" can cross the political divide, and more!

Hannah Arendt once wrote that “the raison d’être of politics is freedom, and its field of experience is action”, and yeah, that’s kind of the core message of Star Wars, isn't it?
We’ll admit that your hosts here at Andorks haven’t read enough Arendt. So that’s why we’re so lucky to be joined by this week’s guest, professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Ramzi Fawaz, to walk us through Arendt's work – and other great political thinkers – and how they intersect with the liberatory politics of ANDOR.
Together we continue through Season 1, Episode 10 “One Way Out”, where we finally get to meet Davo Sculden face-to-face, check in on Luthen and Kleya, and return to Narkina 5 as the prisoners brace themselves for the fight of their lives – all with extremely insightful analysis from our guest along the way!
