On another packed episode, Craig and James dig deeper into their Mr Robot rewatch, focusing on S01E07, but not before clearing their plate of the unfinished business of WandaVision. Brace yourselves, listeners, as our hosts go back to therapy to navigate the five stages of grief and battle it out in a heated (or at least lukewarm) duel of the takes that rivals the thrill of CGI energy glob tennis, if not the spectacle of rooftop murder.
Along the way, expect meaty musings on morality in our media, issues of representation, the pluses and minuses of established story tropes, the importance or otherwise of justice and consequences in fictional narratives, and a buffet of more whimsical fare as both of these TV landmarks are interrogated and assessed on their overall success and meaning.
PLUS a raft of bonus content including reviews of offerings by eclectic London-based soul powerhouse Greentea Peng, the superheroic team-up of Anderson.Paak and Bruno Mars as Silk Sonic, HBO highlights Euphoria and I May Destroy You, and an assortment of other music-related and contemporary cultural shenanigans.
This episode is brought to you by fine Chilean Pinot Noir (perfect for that intermittent Twin Peaks drinking game) and the memory of white dog crap.
