S2E38: ANDOR (EPISODES 1-6)

Ana and Dan put some kyber crystals around their necks and celebrate getting to talk about something they actually liked! (Even though it is not, as Ana originally thought, about Ewoks.) Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton, the Bourne movies) has created the best entry in the modern Star Wars canon by throwing most of the canon out the window. Good writing! Sympathetic villains! A heist that actually plays out like a heist! Do you even know how to Star War, Tony? There is a f*ck-ton of IR in this show. (We cover episodes 1-6 here, 6-12 will come after the season ends.)

Om Podcasten

On Space the Nation, we take our love of science fiction (and fantasy and horror) and smash it together with our professional passions: international relations (as brought to the table by Tufts University professor and Washington Post columnist Dan Drezner) and cultural criticism (as brought to the table by political columnist Ana Marie Cox). It's a highly informed but hilarious conversation that starts with an examination of a particular text (everything from Ursula K. LeGuin to the MCU, Star Trek to Colson Whitehead) and veers into current events, mental health practices and imagined conversations between Ted Cruz and the Predator. For people who like white papers and graphic novels, Chapo Trap House and what Political Science Twitter used to be. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
