Westworld => DEVS

Guys, Thanks for the Westworld podcast, listening all the way from Poland since the very beginning. It’s simply a rudimentary part of my Westworld experience, so thank you for that. I was wondering if maybe you would want to make a podcast about DEVS show on HBO? It seems to...

Host Free Will?

Guys- SO great to have you back. I could gush further but I’ll spare us all. Quick point today- how can we still be arguing whether or not the hosts have exhibited at least isolated moments of free will? Didn’t Ford tell Maeve (and us) in no uncertain terms (in...

Aaron Paul Is Some Bullshit

Hello Shat TV Crew, After watching the first two episodes and listening to all the pods so far I have developed a simply dreadful feeling. That feeling of dread stems from the sickening amount of praise I’ve been hearing from you guys about Aaron Paul. I cannot express how much...

Big D Is the Host You Deserve – I Think He Nailed It

A little more evidence for Big D’s Tinfoil

Hi all! I’ve been listening to you for many years and have always loved your perspective on this show as well as GOT! Today, as I was listening to Ashley respond to Big D’s tinfoil (which I LOVED listening to BTW), something dawned on me that adds to the “evidence”...

Westworld: Telegraph for The Winter Line

Hi Crew, Love the podcast, it’s truly my fave. I have a few thoughts on the last episode, if you’ll indulge me, but I guess that’s what you’re paid the big bucks for… I’m pretty annoyed with the discussion of “free will” as if it’s even worthy of discussion. Just...
