It’s our 41st episode and we’re accidentally celebrating—with a surprise noir-themed bachelor night that’s somehow both hilarious and wholesome. (Yes, there were scavenger hunts. Yes, there were fedoras.)

Then we dive into Andor Episode 6: “The Eye”—one of the most intense, thrilling episodes in Star Wars TV history. We break down:

• That jaw-dropping heist 🎯
• Why Nemik crushed us (literally) 💔
• The Empire’s petty manipulation tactics
• And the power of moral gray zones in rebellion stories

Also: we rant about imperial donut bellies, praise overcoats, and explain why married couples are the best dinner guests.

🎙 Let’s Commiserate – Star Wars debates. Murder mystery love. Friend therapy in podcast form.

After a mini sick-leave hiatus, Sam and Dave are finally back to commiserate—and there's a lot to cover.

From mascot-related Broadway meltdowns and surprise Jedi bachelor days in NYC to a chaotic Krispy Kreme showdown (power trips, anyone?), this episode is packed with stories, laughter, and a whole lot of eye-rolling.

Then we dive into Andor Season 1, Episode 5: “The Axe Forgets”, where paranoia takes center stage, cereal gets a rebrand (hello, Crunchies), and blue milk pairs with generational trauma. We break down the drama, character moments, and why this “filler” episode is anything but boring.

🎭 Highlights include:

• Facing irrational Broadway fears 🤯
• Jedi robes and public transportation 🧙‍♂️
• The worst Krispy Kreme employee ever 🍩
• Cassian calling everyone out (and we love him for it)
• That amazing set tension and character work in Andor

This one is chaotic, cathartic, and weirdly comforting—just the way we like it.

Sam’s fighting a head cold, Dave’s dodging germs, and the Etsy review system is driving them both nuts. In this week’s episode of Let’s Commiserate, the guys review Andor Season 1, Episode 4 – “Aldhani” – and dive into everything from Luthen’s wig collection to the empire’s weird obsession with “healthcare.”

But first, they unpack the hilarious and frustrating story behind a 1-star review that’s sabotaging their murder mystery Etsy shop.

📦 Is it air? Is it digital? Is it a scam? (Spoiler: it’s not.) 🍵 Also featuring hot takes on natural medicine, AI-powered Star Wars droids, and the eternal mystery of blue milk.

This week, we’re diving into Andor Season 1, Episode 3—one of the best Star Wars series to date. But does the pacing work, or is it just too slow? We break down the action-packed moments, the storytelling choices, and whether this is the most Star Wars Star Wars has felt in years.

Oh, and we have to talk about Kathleen Kennedy’s latest comments on her future at Lucasfilm. Is she stepping down? (Spoiler: No.) Is she acknowledging past mistakes? (Also no.) But don’t worry, we make sure to have plenty of fun with her very confident interview.

💬 Do you think Andor Season 1 still holds up? And is Kathleen Kennedy’s time at Lucasfilm finally running out? Let us know what you think!
