Hey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus. Pluribus is the latest show from Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, who in our book is one of the all-time great TV creators. His writing is intelligent, meticulous, unexpected, and wry, and this show is wild. It’s very Twilight Zone-y. Creepy, thought provoking, thrilling, extremely odd in the best way, and super fun. If you haven’t tried it, we definitely recommend you give it a shot! And then, of course, listen to this podcast. And if you end up getting subsumed into the collective, we’ll be covering the rest of the season on Wax Episodic, available wherever you get podcasts, or at ⁠waxepisodic.com⁠.  PS If you’ve been a Podcastica listener for awhile, you might be interested know that the hosts for this podcast are me (Jason) and Karen, who started this network 15 years ago with The Walking Dead ‘Cast. So much fun podcasting with Karen again!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alien: Earth S1E1&2: “Neverland” & “Mr. October” The wait is over — Alien: Earth has landed, and Noah Hawley’s first two episodes deliver everything we hoped for: suspense, grotesque alien terrors, strange new lifeforms, and a sharp look at how unchecked corporate ambition could shape our future — in a series that (at least so far) feels both classic and brand new. Join Jason, Randy, and Kara as we dig into “Neverland” and “Mr. October.” Links from the episode: Brain interface used to edit YouTube video — paralyzed Neuralink patient also uses AI to narrate with his own voice: ⁠https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/brain-interface-used-to-edit-youtube-video-paralyzed-neuralink-patient-also-uses-ai-to-narrate-with-his-own-voice?utm_source=chatgpt.com⁠  Next up on Wax Episodic: Alien: Earth S1E3 “Metamorphosis”!

Some of you guys have been asking if we’d podcast on the final season of Better Call Saul, and it’s our pleasure to say yes to that! We think Better Call Saul and the series that spawned it, Breaking Bad, are two of the finest shows that have ever existed, meticulously crafted in every way, brilliantly acted, and a thrill to watch.  Here’s our marathon first episode covering the first two eps of the final season (which we thought were fantastic), along with a recap of the previous season to get you situated, our reasons for wanting to cover this show, and our hopes for this final season.  Enjoy!
