Here Be Media - Episode 56 - Andor (S2): Building a Rebellion on (a New) Hope

The Left Page & Here Be Media

Hello everyone!!

We are back with some more Star Wars, and of the best kind, with the second season of Andor!

There's been a lot of talk on Andor lately, and having done an episode for the first season, we were not going to let it pass us by.

So join us, as we dive into what makes this such a compelling show (amidst flaws, as we talk about them too), critiquing a great deal of liberal hypocrisies, having a rather nuanced understanding of violence, all while never conceding that "maybe the fascists aren't so bad", no. With Andor, we can see a representation of antifascist struggle that goes leaps and bounds to critiquing empire and the horror of fascism throughout.

Simply enough: what if pop culture was just good?

Enjoy!

And as we mentioned it, check out good friend Jon's text on Andor!
