We're back with Episode 2 of the Apple TV adaptation of one of my favorite book series, The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. In this episode Murderbot contends with a team of humans that don't know if they can trust it, the horrors of forced eye contact, and Aaron and I argue over the necessity of messy relationship drama. You guys have no idea how much of that conversation I left on the cutting room floor in editing. You're welcome.    Theme music is Neon Aeon by Interx, provided by Motion Array 

WELCOME to the first episode of our Murderbot podcast coinciding with each episode of the new Apple+ TV show! Catch myself and Aaron Carter here every week breaking things down episode by episode and discussing what we're thinking of this adaptation of a book we both love so much.  Let us know what you think on social media, you can find me everywhere @EmmaSkies - TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Threads, and Bluesky. Aaron is not on social media these days so unfortunately you can also direct your ire at him to me and I'll be sure to pass it along.    Theme music is Neon Aeon by Interx provided by Motion Array
