Mr. Robot Post Show Recaps - Podcast Recaps of the USA Series

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro) team together to ask the tough questions, starting with the big one: “Who are you?”

In their recap of “411 eXit,” Josh and Antonio plunge into the depths of the Washington Township power plant alongside Elliot (Rami Malek). The result: well… hard to spill the result without spoiling one of the strangest episodes of Sam Esmail’s USA Network thriller, which is saying something! Needless to say, a lot of shenanigans ensue. Watch the episode first, then listen in on the podcast, or else run the risk of so many spoilers.

Rami Malek stars on USA Network’s Mr. Robot as Elliot Alderson, a computer hacker with dissociative identity disorder who alternately works with and against another facet of himself: Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), the spitting image of Elliot’s deceased father. Together and apart, Elliot and Robot have radically changed the world through their revolutionary acts, with a trail of bodies and billions of dollars left in their wake.

Additional cast includes Carly Chaikin as Elliot’s sister Darlene, Portia Doubleday as childhood friend Angela Moss, Martin Wallström as shark-suited Tyrell Wellick, Michael Cristofer as ruthless businessman Phillip Price, BD Wong as Minister Jiang aka Dark Army leader Whiterose, and Grace Gummer as federal agent Dominique DiPierro. Mr. Robot comes from the mind of Sam Esmail, who has directed every episode since season two.

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro) pull over into the nearest rest station, because they’re in the middle of a Code Red emergency, to discuss “410 Gone.”

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro) brave the storm once again to talk about “407 Proxy Authentication Required,” the groundbreaking seventh installment of the final Mr. Robot season.

In this podcast, Josh and Antonio use listener feedback to guide their conversation, crawling all over the brutal hour of television. Among topics covered: Elliot’s heartbreaking revelation, the question of whether we will ever see Mr. Robot again, if Fernando Vera’s return to the series is now officially justified, how the episode structure maps to the five stages of grief, and more.

Elsewhere in the episode, Fernando Vera (Elliot Villar) steps further out of the shadows and into the light as he tries to turn Krista (Gloria Reuben) into a weapon. His goal: break Elliot, and use him to conquer New York City. The end of the episode strongly indicates an imminent meeting of the minds between Elliot and Vera, their first showdown following the prison break and the subsequent death of Shayla (Frankie Shaw).

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro) script out all their thoughts on the latest episode of Mr. Robot and translate them to podcast via text to voice, as a grand tribute to the (mostly) dialogue-free “405 Method Not Allowed.”

In “405 Method Not Allowed,” creator Sam Esmail removes spoken dialogue from the equation for a largely wordless hour of the USA Network thriller. Elliot (Rami Malek) and Darlene (Carly Chaikin) break into Virtual Realty in an attempt to get their hands around the throat of the Deus Group’s money source, while Dominique DiPierro (Grace Gummer) is sent upstate to check on the burning Dark Army van left in the wake of “404 Not Found.” It’s all action, all the time, in a very special Christmas episode of Mr. Robot, and therefore a very special episode of the Mr. Robot podcast.

Josh and Antonio will be late with their podcast recap of “406 Not Acceptable,” so plenty of time for you to send in your questions and comments. Do so at by writing in to our email address or by reaching out on Twitter, and keep an eye out on your podcast feed on November 13.

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro) were lost in an effort to escape the howls of death. Now, one day later than expected, they are here with their recap of the eventful fourth episode of Mr. Robot season four, “404 Not Found.”

In “404 Not Found,” three men spend Christmas Eve by taking a walk through the woods — okay, technically two: Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) and his imaginary wingman Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), as well as Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallström). Their objective: find and destroy a Dark Army operative before he can report back to Whiterose (BD Wong) on their plans to thwart the Deus Group. The complication: they are completely lost, without any cell or internet service whatsoever, in very unfamiliar surroundings. The night does not end well for everyone; elsewhere, things go much better for Darlene Alderson (Carly Chaikin) as she tries to track down Elliot, but it’s a strange night for her as well.

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro) are each other’s wingman as they go on a date with the latest episode of USA Network’s Mr. Robot entitled “403 Forbidden.”

While there’s no major reveal like “the other one,” the fourth and final season’s third installment nonetheless pulls the curtain back on a major player: Whiterose (BD Wong). Specifically, “403 Forbidden” flashes back in time to reveal the greatest tragedy in Zhi Zhang’s life, paving the groundwork for the Dark Army leader’s enigmatic project. Beyond Whiterose, Elliot (Rami Malek) finds some common ground with a young woman named Olivia (Dominik Garcia), while Fernando Vera (Elliot Vilar) reemerges from the shadows — and whatever he has in mind, it’s probably bad news for Krista (Gloria Reuben).
