Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory.

In Episode 135 hosts, Alyce and Laura catch up* on Star Wars Celebration news and dive into Andor S2 and how we’re feeling about it after being underwhelmed by S1.
- Dark Matter filmed front of Laura’s apartment and it was the coolest thing that’s ever happened to her… man, that’s sad
- Alyce girlbossed too hard, so you know what that means: chaos cubes
- Spotify poll! Tell us how your bougie a-- serves bubbly in your house
- It turns out Andor didn’t rework its S2 release schedule to qualify for the Emmys… so it for real is starting to feel like an attack
- Star Wars Celebration Japan highlights! The Mando movie will have walkers and troopers and Zeb, oh my!
- Star Wars animation is back, baby! Maul: Shadow Lord was announced at SWCJ as the next animated series, along with more Star Wars Visions and The Ninth Jedi (Visions S1) gets a full series.
- The High Republic Phase III will wrap up with a comic that has an ominous description
- Gang’s all here! It’s The High Republic’s Luminous Nine in full temple armor for your viewing pleasure. Also, Ember lives!
- Google’s AI killed at least 5 trees trying to do an image search of Jordanna Sparkburn
- Recap on Tap: More non-spoilery thoughts on The High Republic: Into the Light, plus Laura and Alyce may finally be coming around on Andor? Maybe?
- In Toast To, Alyce finally returns to her D&D game and Laura finds out exactly how the Empire STRIPPED Back at Star Wars burlesque.
Helpful links referenced in this episode:
- Kevin, John and Laura discussed the first 3 episodes of Andor season 2 on The Jedi Way, and there is some disagreement in the room, to say the least!
