Descripción

"Cities are built with a conceit of impregnability: made by history, towering over history, making and withstanding history. They are human beings’ monuments to themselves. For a city to be shaken implies a drastic change in history’s course." That's a quote from this week's guest, Alexander Billet's latest book [https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/book/9781919601939]– and it's also a pretty good description of what's been going on in Ferrix as we cross the midway point of episode 7 of ANDOR! We discuss the intertwined histories of neoliberalism and fascism, 1966's The Battle of Algiers, vaping in space, whether Mon Mothma is more Nancy Pelosi or Gerry Adams, how terrifying it is when Star Wars Stormtroopers actually act like real Stormtroopers, and well, a lot of dunking on the DMV area. We apologize to those local listeners in advance. 📸 Follow Alexander Billet on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/ubupamplemousse/] 🏙️ Buy Alexander’s book Shake the City: Experiments in Space and Time, Music and Crisis.

episode Pride & Prejudice & Minions with Liz McFarland (“Narkina 5” Part 5) artwork

Pride & Prejudice & Minions with Liz McFarland (“Narkina 5” Part 5)

In a 1983 interview with Rolling Stone, [https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/carrie-fisher-a-few-words-on-princess-leia-fame-and-feminism-190633/] Carrie Fisher said to "not forget that these movies are basically boys’ fantasies." 40 years later, has ANDOR improved on the franchise's reputation? To answer that question and more, we're excited to welcome this week's special guest, the incredibly talent cosplayer and maker, Liz McFarland [https://liz-mcfarland.com]! 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? Also, if you're reading this, and you have any PR or media connections that can get us to Star Wars Celebration in 2027, please email us at andorkspod@gmail.com [andorkspod@gmail.com]. We really want to go. 😔 --- 👋 Follow Liz on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/lizmcfarland.bsky.social] and on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/lizmcfa/]! ⚠️ Make sure to check out Crashspace [https://blog.crashspace.org]! 🎸 Wishlist Rock Beasts on Steam!

The Office with Josh Cain (“Narkina 5” Part 4)

We have lots of questions about the logistics of the prison barracks on Narkina 5. That's why we're glad to welcome our special guest, a journalist who has covered law enforcement courts and prisons at the Los Angeles Daily News and The OC Register, and labor organizer, Josh Cain! Other discussion topics include NBA talk, pizza party prizes, the mother dyad of Eedy and Marva, California's somehow-legal slave labor program, cash bail, what a marvelous garbage person Perrin Fertha is, and somehow, the most niche reference Alex has made on the podcast so far. 🦋 Follow Josh on Bluesky at @joshcain.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/joshcain.bsky.social] 🤖 Subscribe to our BRAND NEW Patreon at patreon.com/andorkspod [https://www.patreon.com/andorkspod] for tons of bonus content and early access to episodes! 📬 Email andorkspod@gmail.com [andorkspod@gmail.com] with any questions or topics you want us to cover in upcoming episodes!
