PREVIEW: CULTURAL MARXISM - Andor w/ Gita Jackson

Jamie is joined by Gita Jackson of the worker-owned video game and culture website Aftermath to discuss Andor, the Star Wars 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?
