We thought this ep was a deeper exploration of Carol’s character, and how she’s not only immune to the pod people virus, but also to allowing herself to feel happy even when everything is going well. Hmm, maybe that is why she’s immune to the virus (except Air Force One-guy doesn’t seem to have that problem). Anyway, this ep was a joy to watch, and to podcast on, and we hope you enjoy!

Wow, how messed up can this show get? Apparently way more, and it’s only episode two. We’re loving the story (with one possible questionable exception) and the characters and the twisted creativity behind these nightmare scenarios, and we thought this episode deepened things as the show gets more into the racial tensions of the 1960s.

Here we go: Fallout! This retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic extravaganza is a collision of humor and terror, charm and gore, propriety and depravity, mystery and adventure, and so much more.

The wait is over — Alien: Earth has landed, and Noah Hawley’s first two episodes deliver everything we hoped for: suspense, grotesque alien terrors, strange new lifeforms, and a sharp look at how unchecked corporate ambition could shape our future — in a series that (at least so far) feels both classic and brand new. Join Jason, Randy, and Kara as we dig into “Neverland” and “Mr. October.” Links: Brain interface used to edit YouTube video — paralyzed Neuralink patient also uses AI to narrate with his own voice: https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/brain-interface-used-to-edit-youtube-video-paralyzed-neuralink-patient-also-uses-ai-to-narrate-with-his-own-voice?utm_source=chatgpt.com Next up: Alien: Earth S1E3 “Metamorphosis”.

We can’t lie, we’re excited for Pluribus, the upcoming series created by Breaking Bad showrunner Vince Gilligan.
