"Andor," delivered big in it's first season finale. "Bix Road," was a master class in building tension and paying off moments in the story. There is a lot to discuss in this episode and in this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we break down the episode. We discuss the parallels between Maarva and Leia using droids to deliver critical messages of rebellion, and how a show that makes no mention of 'The Force,' or 'Jedi,' can actually enhance the mystique of both. This conversation was a lot of fun and we cannot wait for season 2.

Lots to talk about in this week's Nerd Flix & Chill podcast. We have episodes 10 and 11 of "Andor," which is becoming, with each passing week, the new standard of storytelling in the "Star Wars," universe.
We also have our thoughts on "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," a film that had so much to say about grief and loss, while also having to exist as a superhero film in a large shared universe.
We hope you enjoy the show.
