Andor (2025)
Season Two Episodes 7-9
The galaxy is watching as Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) march into Palmo Square to protest Dedra Meero's quest to extract deep foliated substrate kalkite. Steeped in French Resistance, Les Miserables, and the Amritsar Massacre of 1919, we pull apart the historical threads and imperial projects undergirding the Ghorman Massacre, while also pulling Mon Mothma out of harm's way!

Part 9: Dunharrow
Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) muster what forces they can at Dunharrow, though it's less than half of what they expected. Thankfully, Lord Elrond arrives with a freshly forged Andúril, which gives our hosts a chance to talk about magic swords and blades with names in fantasy and pop fiction!
