Player Piano is a weekly conversation recapping HBO's Westworld. Hosts Dan and Trevor do their best to decode the plot, philosophy and filmcraft of the sci-fi epic.

This week Dan and Trevor worked themselves into a fugue state trying to decode this increasingly complex narrative as well as discussing some of the big ideas touched on in episode 9 including: the fluidity of identity, ego in a posthuman existence and whether or not Arnold is striking a Jesus Christ pose.
