Can we talk about Andor? I just binge watched the last 3 episodes of the second season last night and I’m so sad the series is over. It’s by far my favorite Star Wars series/movie/anything. It also feels like the least Star Warsy Star Wars and I think it’s because of the amount of depth, seriousness and grittiness the series has. The main hero also doesn’t have a light saber, he doesn’t have a cool outfit or anything out of the ordinary, he’s mostly just a normal person.
This is also probably the only Star Wars that also makes you empathize or fall in love with Imperial characters. The show is just so insanely good.
Then you also have the beautiful visuals and the incredible music like in the Mon Mothma dancing scene above. I think I actually might rewatch the series from the start again so I can enjoy it without all the anxiety and suspense. And then I’ll probably rewatch Rogue One since it takes place right after Andor in the Star Wars universe. If you haven’t watched it yet, please watch it.
Have you watched anything interesting lately? Let us know in the comments.

I’ve watched season 1 of Andor 3 times now. will binge season 2 (2nd viewing) followed by Rogue One soon. what an amazing show. I believe most locations were real, with minimum cgi.
– I can’t wait for Murderbot, tomorrow
– the next Ryan Murphy show looks very promising. Trailer: https://youtu.be/mpJ7iDnn0P8?si=vrPNQCFsMk-k_mR8
– Another Simple Favor (2025) not as good as the first movie. not recommended
– Warfare (2025) was great
– The Luckiest Man in America (2024) a very good thriller
– MobLand (2025) keeps getting better and better
if you like war films Warfare will blow your socks off. Very brutal but you have not seen anything like this before. Best war film I’ve ever seen.
Sinners was not what I expected. Its a great wild ride of a film. Designed to be seen and heard in the cinema. Excellent.
Is warfare new?
I will look for it now
Warfare is good but others like Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Black Hawk Down & Saving Private Ryan are more realistic.
Interesting take. The films you mentioned are Hollywood films, are full of Soundtrack, character development,context etc. Warfare is the exact opposite. Zero Hollywood in it. Its why people that have served at the time in Iraq are calling it the most realistic war film ever made. Just raw pure war bashed on our heads 😉
Yes, brand new. A24 studios
You can never go wrong with A24!
Am such a slow coach. Takes me months to finish a show someone’s recommended.
I closely follow all your recos too. Inspite of it all I could barely manage watching the following since 2021 from start to finish.
House of Cards
Inventing Anna
Ozark
The Peaky Blinders
The White Lotus
Succession
……and now I am exhausted 😜
lol
Just finished watching the last season of Yellowstone. Binge watched it today and bizarrely the Huawei (fitbit) on my wrist told me I had “unpleasant” emotions while working it! Riveting stuff but drama filled.
Old movies watched and enjoyed this week:
– Inn of the Sixth Happiness
– Mr Right (Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell)
– Yes Boss (SRK)
– A Fistful of Dynamite
This week I’m looking forward to starting MobLand.
Overcompensating on Prime Video was great. Binged it in a day but I guess it is not for this crowd.
