Best Westworld podcast this side of the Mason Dixon
In a season of emotional episodes, this may very well have been the most emotional. “Vanishing Point” played with our heartstrings like the London Philharmonic. Craig Carter and Jess Bowers discuss the episode (3:20) before talking about their favorite moments (17:38).
Westworld surprised us again with an emotional and intense episode. Craig Carter and Jess Bowers dive deep into “Kiksuya.” After giving their general thoughts on the episode (1:35), they discuss Akecheta’s beginnings (6:50), his quest to find Kohana (17:52), sharing his knowledge with his people (59:10), and a fun theory or two (1:21:20).
This week Westworld took a fascinating turn focusing almost entirely on the Native American tribes present in the park. And it was breathtaking. Craig Carter and Meredith Fowler react to “Kiksuya,” one of the best episodes yet, before discussing their favorite moments (18:18).
Les écorchés literally translated means “the tormented.” That turned out to be very appropriate with all the torment we saw in the latest episode of Westworld. Craig Carter and Ashley Melzer give their general thoughts on “Les Écorchés” (1:24) before discussing the attack on the Mesa part I (24:42), the Man in Black and Maeve (43:08), and the attack on the Mesa part II (54:50).
This streak of fantastic Westworld episodes just keeps going! “Les Écorches” was magnifique! Craig Carter and Jess Bowers discuss the explosive episode (3:27) before talking about their favorite moments (16:51).

Anthony Hopkins is making a surprise appearance on Westworld and we couldn’t be happier. We made a video to help commemorate his return to the show.
“Phase Space” promptly removed our minds from our skulls and put them in a dreamlike state. Craig and Jess discuss “Previously on Westworld” (2:29), the happenings of Delos (3:42), Dolores and Teddy on the crazy train (13:32), the Man in Black reconnecting with his daughter (27:58), Maeve slicing and dicing her way to freedom (48:09), and Bernard in the cradle (1:07:01).

Samurai and ninja and impalings, oh my! “Akane No Mai” was an incredible introduction to Shogunworld. Craig and Brian discuss the Delos cleanup crew (3:58), Dolores and Teddy’s heartbreaking journey back to Sweetwater (11:42), and Maeve and company’s journey through feudal Japan (35:43).

We’re still recovering from what might be the best episode yet (we feel like we’re saying that a lot these days).

We’ve seen western. We’ve seen sci-fi. This time we saw Westworld go pure horror and it was glorious. Lisa Joy did not come to play for her directorial debut. Craig and Jake discuss ‘The Riddle of the Sphinx’ and its many layers (2:17) before talking about their favorite moments (18:39).
The third episode of Westworld Season 2 was certainly full of virtue and fortune. Craig and Brian dive deep into ‘Virtù e Fortuna’ to discuss adventures in The Raj (3:19), Maeve finding new and old friends (21:12), Dolores on a warpath (42:31), and crazy theories (1:34:43).
