Let’s Commiserate

Andor - Season 1, Episode 5 Review


Listen Later

After a mini sick-leave hiatus, Sam and Dave are finally back to commiserate—and there's a lot to cover.

From mascot-related Broadway meltdowns and surprise Jedi bachelor days in NYC to a chaotic Krispy Kreme showdown (power trips, anyone?), this episode is packed with stories, laughter, and a whole lot of eye-rolling.

Then we dive into Andor Season 1, Episode 5: “The Axe Forgets”, where paranoia takes center stage, cereal gets a rebrand (hello, Crunchies), and blue milk pairs with generational trauma. We break down the drama, character moments, and why this “filler” episode is anything but boring.

🎭 Highlights include:

  • Facing irrational Broadway fears 🤯
  • Jedi robes and public transportation 🧙‍♂️
  • The worst Krispy Kreme employee ever 🍩
  • Cassian calling everyone out (and we love him for it)
  • That amazing set tension and character work in Andor

This one is chaotic, cathartic, and weirdly comforting—just the way we like it.
