It's the final episode of Black Mirror, and it was maybe a bit of a snooze. In this episode we discuss the use of robo-bees as pollinators/surveillance devices, how we don't like mysteries where you can't figure out who the bad guy is and why this episode wasn't able to stick the landing. Finally, we talk about our upcoming show plans.
We might be taking a bit of a hiatus, so stay tuned for our announcements!

Another week, another Black Mirror genre episode. This week, Dane and Seth discuss (but do not necessarily agree on) the military genre episode of Black Mirror, Men Against Fire. They discuss the parallels between this episode and the second World War, the terrifying nature of eugenics and whether the roaches would turn out to be insect like or not. They also discuss whether the props looked realistic, and the use of colorblind casting in the series.

It's episode 6, and you know what that means! Twist time! We were basically spot on in our predictions, but in this episode we talk about whether the new Roanoke nightmare is a documentary or a reality show, how creepy the real life ghosts are and how the actors are all much worse than the people they portrayed. Finally, we discuss our predictions about who makes it out alive and where Lady Gaga is!

It's a new season of American Horror Story and we couldn't be more thrilled here at The Parlor. We both really enjoyed the premiere and haven't felt this optimistic about the direction of a Ryan Murphy show in a while. We talk about the new format and its staying power, the idea of the show within a show and the "actor" problem. We also discuss our wishes for the future, the horror movie influences this season and answer a question from Reddit. We are really excited for this season and are excited for any new listeners who might be joining us!

In this week's penultimate episode of Mr. Robot, we learn that sometimes cliff hangers are underwhelming. We find out who was knocking on Darlene's door, who was moaning on the couch and what Joanna wanted with Elliot- and in all cases, we were a little bit disappointed. However, we get some huge set up for the finale, which is gonna be crazy! We talk about Elliot and Angela's interaction, where Mr. Robot is, Darlene's story that's intwined with DiPierro and what in the world Phillip Price is up to. We also make some observations about the season as a whole and speculate about Tyrell's true whereabouts.

Elliot's back and we couldn't be more thrilled! This episode, we discuss Angela's true motivations, what Elliot's plan is and where whiteroses's loyalties lie. We also ask about what is going on with all of these people knocking on doors and where in the world Trenton and Mobley are. Finally we talk about the cliffhanger that wasn't really a cliffhanger and why Seth wants DiPierro to join fsociety. We also have Parlor Mail! It's a late one, but we read an email from someone who totally called the prison spoiler before it was announced!

This week on The Parlor, we discuss episode 8 of Mr. Robot. We were a little disappointed, but not surprised, not to get any Eliot after last week's big reveal, but were treated to an episode focused on Darlene and fsociety. We learn more about Trenton and Mobley's origins in fsociety, discuss the internal conflict in Darlene and why she's getting sloppy, and what Angela's future holds.

On this week's episode of The Parlor, we mostly discuss the HUGE reveal at the end of the episode and how genuinely shocked we both were by it. We then discuss the implications of this reveal in the context of the episode and the show as a whole. We also discuss an amazing mean girl vs nerd girl moment between Angela and DiPierro, the nonsensical things that fsociety is up to now and Angela's "big" career move.
