Iconoclasts with Ramzi Fawaz ("One Way Out" Part 2)
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! 👋 Follow Ramzi at @NerdFromtheFuture on Instagram, find his writing at ramzifawaz.com, and subscribe to his podcast Nerd from the Future 📰 Read Ramzi's “I Have Friends Everywhere”: Andor’s Revolutionary Commitments at Film Quarterly 🧭 Want more Andor and/or Andorks?

"The Art of Andor" (Andorks: Detours)
“Mad but real.” That's how Tony Gilroy described his goal for ANDOR in his original manifesto for the series. It's one of the many, many, many, insights included in the newly released book "The Art of Star Wars: Andor" by Phil Szostak. We originally had different plans for this Detour, but once we cracked this big boy open, we knew we had to detour from the detour and talk to you about our first impressions. We find a treasure trove of original plans for the series, better understand how much the pandemic and the Hollywood strikes impacted production, get some validation that some of our bonkers theories weren’t so bonkers, obsess over Tony Gilroy’s repeated use of the word “funk”, finally get some answers on the scarcity of alien freaks in season 1, and so much more! (Also, we owe you an apology, Luke Hull. We weren’t really familiar with your game.) 🧭 Do you want to hear this ENTIRE episode and listen on as we look forward to discuss season 2?

That's What the Credits Are For with Sean T. Collins ("Nobody's Listening!" Part 5)
[extreme Jim Downey voice]: "𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘰 𝘚𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘶𝘯? 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘳?” This week on ANDORKS, we’re delighted to be joined by television critic Sean T. Collins as we finally wrap up Andor's season 1, episode 9, “Nobody’s Listening”! Together we explore the upper echelon of the galaxy, from banking and tax-dodging on Chandrilla to the intelligentsia of the ISB leadership on Coruscant. And nobody’s impacted more than their shared malice than Cassian Andor and the prisoners stuck on Narkina 5. There we’re forced to say farewell to a very crotchety friend – and see the final push that leads Kino Loy to rebellion. Other discussion topics include Anton Lesser, the shared Venn diagram of actors shared between Andor and Game of Thrones (and Harry Potter and Doctor Who), failed palindromes, space Rupert Murdoch, crash out dances, Phil Ochs, what the hell happened with The Rise of Skywalker, if the bifurcation of the light side and the dark side of the force is a fascist belief, and more! 👋 Follow Sean at @seantcollins.com on Bluesky, find all of his work at seantcollins.com and join his Patreon here! 🧭 Speaking of Patreons, you can subscribe to our BRAND NEW Patreon at patreon.com/andorkspod where you can listen to our full bonus DETOUR episodes, get early access to every episode of Andorks, and more fun features!

Springtime for Palpatine with Justin Michael ("Nobody's Listening!" Part 4)
Do you like television shows about traitors and murderers in space? We know you do. That’s why we’ve brought in an expert in the genre: Justin Michael, a writer on the new Among Us television show on Paramount+! Justin joins us as we continue our way through Season 1 Episode 9, “Nobody’s Listening”, wherein we travel from the familial prison of Eedy Karn’s co-op apartment, to the literal prison on Narkina 5, to the social prison of the Mothma family dinner table, to the uh, well, we wouldn’t call Syril and Dedra’s relationship a prison, but it’s certainly “not good". Other crucial discussion topics include Muppets, how well the entertainment industry is going, Jiminy Glick, the nature of filler episodes, Stephen Sondheim, Chandrillan misogyny, and how sometimes a cigarro is just a cigarro. 👋 Follow Justin at @heyjustin on Instagram! 📺 Check out Justin's shows AMONG US and INFINITY TRAIN! 🧭 Subscribe to our BRAND NEW Patreon at patreon.com/andorkspod for the other half of this detour, along with early access to every episode of Andorks. 📬 Email andorkspod@gmail.com with any questions or topics you want us to cover in upcoming episodes!

"Stalag 17" (Andorks: Detours)
Here’s the story: a cynical dashing rogue, unfairly arrested and jailed by fascists, is forced to convince his fellow prisoners that escape is the only option. Also, his escape plan involves a toilet. But no, we’re not talking about Cassian Andor on Narkina 5! Of course we're talking about William Holden’s J.J. Sefton in Billy Wilder’s 1953 prison-of-war camp classic, Stalag 17. For this week’s Andorks Detour, Rusteen and Alex get lost somewhere on the Danube river to discuss the Academy Award winning movie, the long history of prison break films, and debate if, or how, the film influenced Tony Gilroy in creating ANDOR. Other conversation topics include the Ocarina of Time, Jerry Lewis’ The Day the Clown Cried, Mr. Freeze, the Penguins of Madagascar, shocking Alvin and the Chipmunks revelations, and more! 🍿 If you want to watch along with us, check if Stalag 17 is available to stream for free with your library card via Kanopy!

How to Organize A Prison Break with Sydney Ghazarian ("Nobody's Listening!" Part 3)
Jane McAlevey once said that “organizing, at its core, is about raising expectations.” This week, it’s also about raising hell. As we reach the midpoint of Andor S01E09 “Nobody’s Listening” – and the Narkina 5 arc as a whole – we figured we needed to discuss ORGANIZING. That's why we’re excited to be joined by our friend and political organizing expert, Sydney Ghazarian! We talk about how to organize your workplace – or in Cassian's situation – organize your prison, class traitors, the racial semiotics of Legos, the Philippine Revolution, ICE deportations, whether the Galaxy is industrialized enough to ever transition to communism, if Melshi would've fit in with the dirtbag left, and perhaps finally resolve the argument of whether Watto is Jewish or Armenian. 👋 Follow Syd at @grandaddynebula on Instagram! 🌹 Join the Democratic Socialists of America, the largest mass organization for an anti-capitalist future in the United States! 🇦🇲 Watch Becca Melkonian's breakdown of who is Armenian in the Star Wars universe. 🧭 Subscribe to our BRAND NEW Patreon at patreon.com/andorkspod for the other half of this detour, along with early access to every episode of Andorks. 📬 Email andorkspod@gmail.com with any questions or topics you want us to cover in upcoming episodes!

"THX 1138" (Andorks: Detours)
The Narkina 5 Arc on Andor isn't just inspired by George Lucas's original Star Wars movies. It's also deeply indebted to another George Lucas project... and we're not talking Strange Magic (yet). So shave your head and pop your Political Repression Pills, because we're taking a DETOUR this week on ANDORKS to visit George Lucas' debut film THX 1138! Join us as we explore a totalitarian nightmare in which sex is outlawed, compliance is mandatory, and Jesus is a robot. Alex and Rusteen recap the film and discuss how the film reflects the anxieties of the 1960s, whether it's as profound as it thinks it is, how it connects to Andor, and... the New York Knicks playoff run(?). So please, enjoy George Lucas's incredible thoughts and incredible minds. 🧭 Subscribe to our BRAND NEW Patreon at patreon.com/andorkspod so you can listen the ENTIRETY of this detour, get every episode of Andorks a MONTHLY EARLY, receive access to all of our previous Detours, and MORE! 🎥 If you've never seen the movie, Lucas' "director's cut" of the film is readily available for rental, and there's probably a DVD waiting for you at your local library! That said, if you Google "THX Grindhouse Cut" you might just find a "despecialized" version without the massive amounts of edits that George inserted in 2004. But you didn't hear that from us. 📬 Email andorkspod@gmail.com with any questions or topics you want us to cover in upcoming episodes!

Together we begin to wrap up Season 1, Episode 7 "Narkina 5", check in on Kleya, Vel, Cinta, Mon, and Bix, learn about costuming across the Star Wars franchise, receive an update on Alex's marriage to Mrs. Marki, and finally ask the most important question: what were The Minions doing from the years 1939-1945?

Lawyers, Guns, & Credits with Josh Androsky ("Announcement" Part 6)
"Party in the city where the heat is on All night, on the beach 'til the break of dawn Welcome to Niamos, bienvenidos a Niamos." Pop open those Peezos and uncork that Revnog, because we (and Cassian) have finally made it space Miami. We couldn't think of anybody else we'd rather party with than our friend Josh Androsky, who we're excited to welcome onto the pod as we finish up Episode 7 of ANDOR, "The Announcement." Other discussion topics include Florida's sunshine laws, Warren Zevon, and of course, lots of Watto talk. Come join us to meet Mr. Outer Rim Wide, won't you? 🌹 Join DSA today at dsausa.org/join! 📬 Email andorkspod@gmail.com with any questions or topics you want us to cover in upcoming episodes!
