This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- are joined by special guest JP Morrell (@JPMorrell), current vice president of the New Orleans city council, former state senator, ... and fellow nerd culture enthusiast! Morrell shares which stories and heroes are important to him personally, why it can be a beneficial thing to stay true to yourself and your nerdy roots, the intersection of politics and pop culture, why Mardi Gras seems to be such a mess in regards to parade routes, and perhaps most importantly of all, which council member should we trust with a lightsaber?

For the 138th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- discuss the finale of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. There's a lot to love about the final episode, from how it pays off previous events, to the themes on display, to all of the little technical things. One of the bigger things to think about is how Cassian impacts the folks around him ... and vice versa. The group drills down into all of that, talks about the how this series fits into the larger universe, and speculates on the future of these characters and this story.

Welcome to the 137th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about episodes 10 & 11 of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. The group wonders what the special significance of all the water imagery might be, speak about character growth (pretty much seen in everyone save Cyril), discuss Cassian's leadership qualities and how they're not typical, and talk about Luthen's ability to cut at the heart of what makes the Empire what it is ... and what makes it vulnerable.

On the 136th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- dive into the ninth episode of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. This episode continues its critiques of prisons, of fascism, of massive institutions, and what the human cost of those mechanisms can be. It's not a new story, but it's an important one. Do you think anyone is listening?

For the 135th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- examine episodes 7 & 8 of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+ ... and find plenty of relatable themes to speak to. Most presently given recent events in the show, the group talks about power and class, and just how good a job this show does of reflecting our society's ills back at us.

On this, the 134th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- gush over "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. Specifically, the group examines the most recent episode (6), talks about what the show is doing right (basically everything) and why its audience hasn't been super big yet (people are weird). Anyway, it's time to give the series some more love.

It's the 133rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- tackle the fourth and fifth episodes of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. This show has been a departure from most Star Wars stories with a more adult-like sensibility. The group talks about how that is, and how one even defines such a thing. They also get into the POV of individual characters providing motivation for future actions, the trueness of the military story, and a messed up family that isn't the Skywalkers.
