Alphonse Nicholson (John Stewart Sr.) and Jasmine Cephas Jones (Bernadette) about bringing groundedness and realism to their characters in the latest episode, "OutKast."

Before Hard NOC Life goes off the air for a few weeks, Keith and Dominic have a few more Andor takes to share. Not only did the final episodes rekindle a love for Star Wars for our hosts, it will forever change how they watch the franchise going forward. The end of the series also helped Dominic gain a new appreciation for the Asian cultural exchange that has been present since '77. In addition to the Andor talk, they also have some thoughts on the latest Superman trailer.
