CULTURAL MARXISM: Andor w/ Gita Jackson
Added 2025-06-01 20:09:56 +0000 UTCJamie is joined by Gita Jackson, writer and co-founder at the worker-owned video game and culture website Aftermath, to discuss Andor, the Rogue One prequel TV series starring Diego Luna. What’s it saying about imperialism and the fight against it? Is it possible for a Disney property to actually be subversive? How did Diego Luna get so sexy? Should Jamie watch the other Star Wars?

This part about him being a criminal trying to survive and ending up a revolutionary reminds me of George Wright who was given life in prison joined , escaped, became affiliated with the black liberation army, highjacked a plane, went to Algeria then Guinea Bissau eventually, then Portugal where he was found living a normal life in the early 2000s and Portugal refuses to extradite him still because he became a citizen
