Hello, friend! Welcome to the Mr. Robot podcast on Post Show Recaps. Every week, Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro) discuss the latest episode of Mr. Robot, covering each and every hour of the USA Network drama’s second season.

This week, Josh returns to join Antonio in discussing the show’s first ever episode without a single sign of Rami Malek and Christian Slater. Both Elliot and his alter-ego take a seat on the bench as the noose tightens on Darlene and the rest of fsociety, forced to confront enemies real, imagined, and somewhere in between. Josh and Antonio reset the table on some of the details still hanging out in the Mr. Robot universe, ones that began subtly resurfacing in this week’s episode. Plus, Josh gives his quick takes on the two episodes he missed at the start of the podcast.
