Listen "May the Rot Be With You: Andor, Cinema, and the Beauty of Burnout"
Episode Synopsis
On this May the Fourth, we dive deep into the galaxy of STAR WARS—not to rank lightsaber duels or debate Jedi lore, but to ask a more deranged and profound question: How do you turn brain rot into cinema? From the bloated spectacle of franchise fatigue to the unexpected prestige of Andor, we explore how one of the world’s most memed, merchandised, and overextended IPs somehow produced a work of real political drama, human depth, and aesthetic restraint. What does it take to elevate the algorithmic sludge into art? And more importantly—why does it feel so good when it works?
