- Pluribus S1E4 "Please, Carol"
Fun episode this week as Carol finally starts asking the pod people some of the same kinds of things we’d be asking.
Mentioned:
Bloodsong of Wycaro excerpt (free from the Apple Book Store): https://books.apple.com/us/book/bloodsong-of-wycaro/id6754341665Next up on Pluribus: S1E5 “Got Milk”. Let us know your thoughts!

Other Wax Episodic shows:
Consider trying one of these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows that we cover on this very podcast:
IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi.Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant!

2 hr 22 min - IT: Welcome to Derry S1E4 "The Great Swirling Apparatus of Our Planet's Function"
This week was a bit lighter on the shocking horror (which is something, considering a girl saws her own eyeballs off), but we thought it deepened the story in ways that are having us dig this show more than ever. Join Jason and Shawn as we talk it out!

1 hr 42 min - Pluribus S1E3 "Grenade"
We thought this ep was a deeper exploration of Carol’s character, and how she’s not only immune to the pod people virus, but also to allowing herself to feel happy even when everything is going well. Hmm, maybe that is why she’s immune to the virus (except Air Force One-guy doesn’t seem to have that problem). Anyway, this ep was a joy to watch, and to podcast on, and we hope you enjoy!

1 hr 34 min - IT: Welcome to Derry S1E3 "Now You See It'

1 hr 25 min - Pluribus S1E1&2 "We Is Us" & "Pirate Lady"
We’ve been waiting for this one — it’s the return of Vince Gilligan (and Jason and Karen), and it did not disappoint! It was creepy, intriguing, thought-provoking, at once fresh and familiar, extremely odd in the best way, and just so much fun. Join uuuusssss as we talk it out!

2 hr 1 min - Fallout S1E6 "The Trap"
We love how this show gives us something new each week. This week, a swanky cocktail party for a bunch of corporate sellouts, a mysterious vault full of possibly cultist mutants, and a makeshift new “govermint”. Join Kasi and Jason to talk it out.

1 hr 32 min - IT: Welcome to Derry S1E2 "The Thing in the Dark"
Wow, how messed up can this show get? Apparently way more, and it’s only episode two. We’re loving the story (with one possible questionable exception) and the characters and the twisted creativity behind these nightmare scenarios, and we thought this episode deepened things as the show gets more into the racial tensions of the 1960s.
