Andor (2022) Episode 10: One Way Out   Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) have only one way out of the prison facility on Narkina 5, a leap of faith towards freedom lead by Cass and most of all Kino Loy, as Andy Serkis delivers a performance for the ages. Elsewhere, Mon Mothma runs up against the traditions of her own Chandrilan people, and Luthen orates to the sunless place in his mind, the sacrifices he's made to fight the Empire. Sacrifices that will sink him, if he isn't able to swim. --- Become a Patron of My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast   My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast Reference Guide My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast on Twitter My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast on Instagram Manu's Twitter Emily's Twitter
