    Most Insightful "Westworld" podcast ever!
    There is no doubt "Westworld" is a breakout hit. However, it refreshing to find a podcast that is unafraid to critically analyze this show in an intelligent and insightful way. They look past the fanboy theory floating around the Internet in order to present thought-provoking ideas. This is the podcast to listen to when "Westworld" returns in 2018!

    Westworld: You missed it.
    Such a contrast to listen to self-absorbed "critics" vs probably the most ambitious single season of a televions show in history. OMG it wasn't perfect? I hope they interiew Armistice soon :)

    Best Westworld podcast
    This is the best westworld podcast hands down. Kudos to Annalee. I can't recommend it more.

    Great job
    Really enjoying the Westworld coverage. Great guests to vary the focus each week. Glad to hear smart people talk about what I'm enjoying right now.

    Valley girl up talk
    Screechy and unlistenable. Individuals talk over one another. The continuous use of "like" is extremely objectionable. The content may very well be substantive but is delivered in a very amateurish and substandard way. Others may overlook or even prefer this style of talking, but I do not. My review might be discounted or dismissed, but take an honest look and listen back at your product.

    Good content, bad production
    The content is very good but the production needs work. Sometimes speakers are too loud while other times they are too soft.

    Actual info, not just recaps
    Like this pod since it involves analysis on specific things about the show—maybe a hack, its mental health depictions, FBI research, etc.—and books actual guests instead of being just another recap pod with two dudes.

    The Mr. Robot deep dive I wanted
    Mr. Robot S2 has clearly elevated the show's profile—everyone from Forbes to GQ to Wired seems to be reviewing it—but good pods are still tough to find. Ars seems on track with this. It's not a straight recap/review show, and they instead focus on 1-2 ideas from that week's episode then grab a plugged in guest (Ep2 has the show's FBI consultant and it's a must for diehards). Looking forward to more.
