David is joined by community members Stuart (Doove71) and Bryan (Bryan8063) to explore the philosophical depths of Noah Hawley's alien prequel. The conversation examines the episode's exploration of consciousness, morality, and identity through the lens of hybrid beings caught between human and artificial existence. Special attention is given to the grooming dynamics between Morrow and Slightly, the breakdown of scientific ethics, and Hawley's use of philosophical inquiry as narrative structure.

Comics 'Vs – Radioactive Ramblings crossover:

The Top Talking-About-Peacemaker Trio has assembled for a tour of the Quantum Unfolding Chamber in "The Ties That Grind," the first episode of season 2 of Peacemaker on HBO Max.

Elysia falls down James Gunn's deep-cut rabbit holes, Jean serves up Max Lord lore with a side of Harcourt haterade, and Aaron weighs in from the hasn't-yet-seen-Superman perspective (and shouts out the Justice Gang member he wants to see more of most). Then they dive into what they think is really going on in that other world.

David explores Noah Hawley's atmospheric third episode with Ian from The Captain's Pod and Mark from Nevermind The Music. This episode dives deep into the philosophical questions of humanity, consciousness, and identity while delivering standout performances from Babu Cissé as Moro and Timothy Olyphant as Kirsch. The discussion covers everything from the Peter Pan allegory to the use of Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain" (or rather, Jeff Russo's inspired recreation of it), with Mark providing fascinating insights into the show's musical choices and their thematic significance.
