It is our final episode of the series 3, Black Mirror. In this episode, we talk about the excellent Christmas special- White Christmas. We talk about how tightly woven the three vignettes of this episode are, whether this technology is ethical or not and how much Dane liked Jon Hamm's turtleneck sweater. We also talk about how chilling the episode is and whether we expected any of these twists.
Next week, we're off, but after that we're back with Mr. Robot! Make sure to check out the first season on Amazon Prime and tune in to the new season in July.

Thanks for listening!
It's another episode of Black Mirror that doesn't seem to be too far off of current society-maybe we should rename this episode The Trump Moment? We talk about the use of campaign ribbons vs pins, whether Waldo is the same as a SnapChat filter, internet trolls and Seth once again tries to explain VR to Dane.
We'll be starting our new show soon- Mr. Robot season 2. We'll finsih Black Mirror in one week, do a recap of Mr. Robot Season 1 on July 9th and then we'll be back with weekly episodes of season 2.

This is totally one of our favorite episodes of Black Mirror and we get right into it. We talk about whether some of the acting and costuming was a little bit theatre-departmenty, we talk about how creepy the premise of the episode is, why we love the behind the scenes and whether justice parks are a humane form of punishment. Finally, Seth tells us about an experience with an "audience shouter" at a beer tasting event.
We're getting ready to do Mr. Robot season 2 in mid July, but may need some suggestions for episodes to fill the time- have any ideas? Let us know!

Arguably one of the weaker episodes of the series, Dane and Seth discuss the implications of this "resurrection" technology, how this episode toyed with the viewers emotions, and Seth goes on a rant about cell phones. They also discuss that sweet art board and how well this episode seems to predict fairly mundane technology.
