This week, we chat about the final 3 episodes of Andor and then discuss how our opinions on Rogue One have changed after a post-Andor rewatch. We say in the episode that these two things will be clearly demarcated, but that, it turns out, is a lie. We just kinda talk about both intermingled. I'd suggest you watch Andor first, then listen. Sorry!

Next week, Decostructing PTA begins with the director's first feature film:  Hard Eight

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programing for an important message coming from the planet Ghorman: Andor Season 2 Rules. Actually, Matt had internet issues all day on the day he planned on watching PTA's Hard Eight so we were forced to delay that episode til next week, but we just had to get together and talk about Andor. Spoilers through episode 9
