SpielbergPod - The Steven Spielberg PodcastShow Notes
Since we are fast approaching the release of season two of the show, Kieran, Paul and I finally sat down to talk about the fantastic Star Wars show, Andor. And since we really liked this show, we're going to take our sweet time discussing this bad boy, so this in this episode we only talk about the first three episodes ('Kassa', 'That Would Be Me' and 'Reckoning'), which make up the recruitment arc. We'll be back soon to talk about the heist arc!

In this episode Kieran, Mark and I get into a detailed chat about the recent Marvel film, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. Listeners to be advised, there are spoilers for this film from the outset.
This week we return to the park as Mark and I discuss the scene in 'Jurassic Park' where the characters discuss the ethics of the theme park (which includes many iconic lines such as "Well, we'll have a, a coupon day or something". The scene, though only about three or four minutes long, gives us much to chew on from AI to nineties haircuts, metaphors for filmmaking, the theatrical nature of this scene (and the island tour) and beyond.
In this episode Kieran, Paul, and Mark (FIRST-TIME GUEST ON THE SPIELBERGPOD!!!) cover our final film of the Infinity Saga... it's Ryan Coogler's 'Black Panther.' (We also spend a substantial amount of time reminiscing about the X-Files right at the end, so be sure to stick around for that).
In this episode Paul, Kieran and I cover our final batch of Andor episodes - 'Make It Stop', 'Who Else Knows?' and 'Jedha, Kyber, Erso' - and we are not disappointed with what we have seen.
Release the ABBA cut! This week we pick back up with our Andor coverage as Paul, Kieran and I tackle the second Ghorman arc which comprises of the episodes 'Messenger', 'Who Are You?' and 'Welcome to the Rebellion'.
