On this week's episode of Controlled Burnes, Andrew is rejoined by Reagan for their longest podcast yet, a nearly 5-hour examination of Andor Season 1. The pair watched the first season together back when it first released and loved it, but returned to it with fresh eyes again in 2025 prior to watching Season 2 to analyze it more deeply than any show yet discussed up to this point. While Reagan is still a relative newcomer to the Star Wars fandom, Andrew has been a devotee for as long as he can remember. But both consider Andor to be the greatest Star Wars project of all time, so it is a joy to present to you their discussion on Season 1 with at least one Season 2 episode to follow in the coming weeks.
