Black Cap Recap

The Apple TV+ adaptation "Murderbot" is a springboard for our continued P(doom) discussion woven throughout our conversations any time AI comes up (which seems to happen a lot lately...). Mild spoilers for the first five episodes of Season 1.

*Full Spoilers Ahead* With a big, bold swing early on, does Season 2 hold up to Season 1? We dive in, with Sean's take being familiar with the game story, and Aaron going in without any knowledge of the second game's twists and turns.

"Don't be sad that it's over; be happy that it happened." So comes the (sort of) end of Andor, seamlessly transitioning directly into the opening moments of Rogue One after paying off everything ("EVERYTHING!") Luthen has built up since before season 1. We are joined once again by Justin Gray for a cross-over Trench Run Report recording.

The weightest and most profound pair of episodes of the series ("Messenger" and "Who Are You?"), concluding with the most thrilling episode ("Welcome to the Rebellion"). Might this be peak Star Wars?

Another crossover episode with Trench Run Report, we cover the Ghorman set piece and story arc, Cassian and Bix on Coruscant, and Saw unhinged.

Note: This episode, and our discussion, contains adult themes and situations; parental discretion is advised.
