  Hello, and this is your PCJ Pop. I'm Olivia. And I'm Shauna. And Shauna, what do you recommend
• 0:14
  for listeners? So I got started on this show a little late, and I am absolutely obsessed,
• 0:22
  and it is called Andor, also known as Star Wars Andor, and Andor's, a Star Wars story. Andor's
• 0:31
  Andor's Andor's. So it is about Cassian Andor, who is a thief turned Rebels Spine. Andor
• 0:38
  one more time, just for Andor. Andor, the show is about Cassian Andor. So he is a thief
• 0:46
  turned Spine, and it takes place during the five years that lead up to the events of Rogue
• 0:53
  One, where he gets the Death Star plans to Princess Leia. And it is incredible. It shows
• 1:01
  how in the beginning, he really was just a thief. He's in this for the money in how he
• 1:06
  slowly really becomes sympathetic to the Rebel cause starts to believe that yes, we really
• 1:12
  do need to take down the Empire. They are a fascist regime. And really just his journey of
• 1:18
  joining the Rebel Army. I am in season two right now. I just started it. And I have heard
• 1:24
  all over the internet that season two is even better than season one, which I absolutely
• 1:29
  loved. So I am so stoked to be finally watching the show. The Disney Plus Star Wars shows.
• 1:37
  I've watched most of them. They're kind of hit or miss. I did stop watching the Mandalorian
• 1:43
  because it got a little boring. I liked the Obi-Wan Kenobi show. I like Asoka. I don't
• 1:49
  know. There's been a couple that I've skipped because they got canceled or people said they
• 1:55
  weren't very good. This one has been publicly just this is an incredible show. Everything
• 2:00
  you've heard is absolutely correct. And it is very timely. There are a lot of parallels
• 2:05
  to current political situations and the current political climate of just a fascist political
• 2:14
  regime going into towns, rounding people up and disappearing them. And how a group of people
• 2:21
  can stand up against that. Even if it means sacrificing, you're standing up for the greater
• 2:27
  good. So it stars Diego Luna. Yeah. Oh my gosh. He's so good in this Kyle Salar, Audrey Arjuna,
• 2:36
  Stellen Skarskarn. He's really good in it too. Fiona Shaw and a huge, just wonderful cast.
• 2:42
  So I am definitely going to pop and or and then I would suggest watching first two seasons.
• 2:49
  I think those are going to be the only two seasons. So watch those and then watch Rogue One,
• 2:54
  which is what my husband and I are going to do. I love it. Well, I've been in a crazy book reading
• 3:00
  era. I have been absolutely demolishing the spark of the Everflame series. Never heard of it.
• 3:08
  It's actually very good. There's there's there's no banging though. So we don't love that. But
• 3:14
  that's actually not my. I can't wait to third. I know if I can watch a fantasy novel with no banging.
• 3:21
  You watch, read, watch, read, do my mind movies. It's not what reading is. It's mind movies.
• 3:28
  I've got a view of this to me by the way. They're on the third book and they haven't,
• 3:34
  you know, really done anything. So I don't love that. But it is so good that I've like
• 3:38
  gotten to the third book very quickly. I started it like seven days ago. And they're long books. But
• 3:43
  so I've been on a fantasy book reading kick again. So I will have a ton of wrecks for you guys on those
• 3:50
  because I've been diving deep back in. But I actually wanted to pop Netflix documentary. It's
• 3:57
  cold case, the Tylenol murders. And I was actually very familiar with this because this is actually
• 4:05
  how we got safety packaging on medicine. So you know that protective film when they say if like
• 4:12
  they have tamper wood. Yeah. Yeah. Don't don't do anything with. It's actually because
• 4:18
  someone put cyanide laced Tylenol pills into a like bottle on a shelf in Walgreens in Chicago,
• 4:27
  Illinois. Just randomly like they were trying to target anyone. They were just like, yeah,
• 4:31
  someone will die. I mean, they were trying to kill someone for sure. I don't know if they're
• 4:36
  trying to kill like I don't think they were trying to kill a specific person. It was like a
• 4:39
  spontaneous murder crime or whatever. Oh my god. But so I'm very familiar with this case before
• 4:46
  because I grew up in Chicago. My dad loves random fun facts like that. Go figure. I'm his daughter.
• 4:51
  And so it was very familiar of this. And what's funny is when this first came out and multiple
• 4:56
  people text me and be like, have you seen this yet? This is so up your alley. And ultimately it's a great
• 5:02
  kind of walkthrough of them, you know, going through it and looking at it and just all through
• 5:09
  the case. And there's some, you know, appealing things like that. So very, very interesting of what's
• 5:16
  going on in that case, but would definitely pop that for you guys. Interesting. I'm going to give
• 5:22
  that a watch. Awesome. So for this week, we're going to recommend that you watch Andor on Disney
• 5:29
  Plus and on Netflix Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders.
