The Doofcast

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 Follow us on Twitter:  See all of our podcasts and more at !   Show Notes: WATCH ANDOR FIRST
