    "The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire" with Dan Salgarolo & Mike Van Gorder (Andorks: Detours)

    Watching ANDOR leads to a lot of logistic questions about the Star Wars universe, like: how does the Empire produce all these weapons? What is the parliamentary procedure for the Galactic Senate? Why did the New Republic fall apart? What if somebody wrote a version of William L. Shirer "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" but about Palpatine? Finally, we've found those answers in "Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire" by historian Dr. Chris Kempshall. The canon(!) in-universe history book explains exactly (and in EXTREME depth) what is happening behind in the background between the Clone Wars and somehow Palpatine returning. Folks, there is MUCH to talk about. That's why we're excited to welcome back two Star Wars superfans, Dan Salgarolo and Mike Van Gorder, to explore the book's revelations and lore ramifications. Strap in. 🧭 Want to hear THE FULL EPISODE?

    A Sunless Space with Maggie Mae Fish ("One Way Out" Part 5)

    Get out your flashlights, because we’re going to a sunless place. And we hear it's full of... g-g-g-ghosts?!? It's time to witness Luthen Rael’s seething monologue to Lonni Jung down in the dregs of Coruscant. And to help us break the scene and speech down, we're honored to be joined by actor, writer, and video essayist, Maggie Mae Fish! Together we say goodbye to Episode 10, discuss growing up amongst Republicans, discover there's a Hutt version of Truman Capote in Star Wars canon, draw parallels between Luthen and Darth Vader, debate whether there are Edible Arrangements in space, deliberate Shakespeare influences, and of course, provide LOTS of Stellan Skarsgård talk. 📺 Watch Maggie's video essay "Investigating "All Her Hault" Horror" on her YouTube channel at @MaggieMaeFish 👋 Follow Maggie on on Instagram at @maggie.mae.fish, on Bluesky at @maggiemaefish.bsky.social, and on X at @MaggieMaeFish 🧭 Want more Andor and/or Andorks?

    "Animal Farm" with Pod Casty For Me (Andorks: Detours)

    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. 🧭 Do you want to hear this ENTIRE episode as we go further into the farm?

    On & Off Again with Eric Boehm ("One Way Out" Part 3)

    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 "f**k ICE" can cross the political divide, and more! 👋 Follow Eric at @EricBoehm87 on X! 📰 You can watch or listen to Eric's interview with Tony Gilroy on reason.com! 🧭 Want more Andor and/or Andorks?

    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?
