While Luke recovers from an injury, John from the Lorehounds joins Elysia to break down "Into the Fire," the season 2 finale of Silo on Apple TV+. Between recaps of the details you might have missed, we talk Lukas Quest, deliberate any deaths, and measure the Foxiness of Knox's moxie.

Elysia and Luke follow "The Dive" – episode 7 of season 2 of Silo – to the depths of the drama, and the set up for the final arcs of the season. We get into the nitty gritty of all the action in both silos – plus important questions like "who should survive" Luke's romantic coupling doomsaying, and what major and minor characters might play a key role in how the brewing unrest plays out.

Elysia and Luke gather around the mics once more to continue their winter tale with this briefer interlude looking at one specific film – about Charles Dickens' life and writing A Christmas Carol.

We use that as a jumping-off point to discuss the real man: How much of the film's story is true? What else should you know about him? And, perhaps most importantly for this series... Did he actually invent Christmas? And if not, who did?

Watch out for the final episode in our 2024 A Christmas Carol haunt, where Luke and Elysia watch some of the silliest and most beloved twists on the tale, and find out which ones we think are worth your time.

The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) is available in most countries on Disney+ or Hulu.
