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!
