"Andor," the latest Star Wars miniseries, is spin off of the film "Rogue One," which is a prequel to the original Stat Wars trilogy. It's considered grittier, grungier, and more political than any its predecessors.In this latest G&R Arts and Culture episode, Scott talks with comrade and organizer Matt Leonard about the politics and cultural relevance of Andor in the age of Trump. Green and Red's Arts and Culture series looks at film, television, music, book and other art that raises political consciousness. Bio//Matt Leonard (@mlenny.bsky.social) is an organizer and Star Wars fan (although, not a "superfan").If you have the means, and want to support scrappy independent media (and get some G&R SCHWAG), become a G&R Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast ---------------------------------------------------------------Outro- "Star Wars Theme" By John WilliamsLinks//+ Guardian: In Andor, the real world political parallels are impossible to ignore (https://bit.ly/43RzJLp)+ One Way Out: The Revolutionary Hero of Andor (https://bit.ly/4dIQoEm)Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/8evPXV7g)+Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com)+Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social)Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) + Check us out!

In this latest installment of the G&R Arts and Culture series, we look at three films from the seventies that were shaped by America's growing cynicism and distrust of its governing institutions.

We look at The Parallax View, Three Days of the Condor and All the President's Men, and discuss the stories and how they effected and were effected by the sociopolitical shifts that were happening at the country in that time.

The new documentary "The Encampments" is an important portrait of America’s student movement, ignited at Columbia University as students protested their universities’ ties to the war on Gaza.
