Of course Cassian and the inmates on Narkina 5 were helping to build the Death Star. Of course they were. Because, like everything else in this exceptional first season of Andor, each moment – each line of dialogue, each carefully constructed speech, each key character beat – is leading our central characters to their ultimate […]
The past decade has seen a rise in digital media. There has been a rise in streaming services and digital stores, as well as a decline in physical media sales and cinema attendance. This has led to some critics declaring that digital media is the future and that cinemas and physical media have had their […]
After last week’s tour de force installment, this week’s Andor pulls the story back a bit, allowing the characters and the series’ game board to reset for one final showdown on Ferrix. And, honestly, I think we all needed this small respite – a chance to catch our breath, take stock of where each character […]
2018’s Black Panther is considered to be one of the best films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and is the only MCU film to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. However, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had to face the challenge of losing its star. T’Challa, the king of Wakanda dies of […]
I’ve complained in the past about Andor feeling more like a film cut into episodic slices, with endings that didn’t push the narrative forward, leaving us with a lack of momentum leading into the week-long wait until the next episode. But “Nobody’s Listening!” absolutely crushed it with its end of episode button and I cannot […]
There are few things I enjoy more than when a series pulls together an episode that allows us to see just how a seemingly disparate group of characters – scattered around a country, planet, galaxy – are all interconnected in ways you wouldn’t have anticipated when the series begin. “Narkina 5” was that episode for […]
After the highs of “The Eye,” it would have been easy for Andor to take a beat, allow its characters to collect themselves, and take a week off before delving into the next great set piece of the series. So, it says a lot about the series that “Announcement” felt almost as tense as the […]
Well, I’ll say one thing: It’s hard to write a review of a television series when the writers essentially craft a finale that says, “We’ve heard your past complaints, anticipated your current worries, and course corrected to make them all moot.” Because that’s essentially what “Whose Show is This?”, the first season finale of She-Hulk […]
It’s truly something that a series, centered around a character we all know will be making it out alive and well, can create such a deep feeling of suspense that it has you on the edge of your seat during a heist like this one. But Andor pulled it off – completely – making us […]
Well, my new favorite Andor character might just be Syril’s meddling mother Eedy (the great Kathryn Hunter), who in just a couple of scenes has added not only a layer of humor to the tense proceedings of the series, but also enough character shading to Syril to make him more than the two-dimensional baddie the […]
