    I’m watching Andor S2, since it’s finally done and available as one package. I’m pretty sure there’s a Walt Disney allegory where they have a marketing/entertainment character advising The Empire. I feel like you don’t do this by accident.

    It’s pretty crazy that what that show has been allowed to do, because Disney is normally shit and tries to protect themselves and hide their history.

      You give me much credit, especially considering I was stoned AF when I swiped that one out (though, I still completely agree with past-me) in lieu of proper sleep. To be accurate, the masterful stroke belongs to you for pointing this out, in fact.

      I love it as a multi-layered continuance of the brand’s Empire’s flagship values — and America’s timeless sweetheart: daddy issues!

      I’ll be honest, I couldn’t shake the image of Dr. Venture, Sr. outta my head with one of the ad-men, and the other made me wonder if he was that kid from The Sandlot, all grown up. (NGL, as soon as those two started winding up that reskinned Democracy® pitch, I knew the writers were swinging for the nosebleeds, so I may’ve wandered a bit.)

      Incredible chops in the room, though, and the whole goddamned series!

      Thanks for the rabbit hole, btw! 🤘🏼🤓
