  "What happens in Vegas..."Apple TV's 'Pluribus' hits the ground running this week!

• 'Pluribus' Season 1, Episode 5: Scavenger Hunt!

  We all need space sometimes. So Ebube and Cris are staying as far as they possibly can from all freezers as they reel from the fifth episode of Apple TV's 'Pluribus'.They start by suggesting a new home for Carol while taking stock of the new information we get about the Joined (10:55), as well as the fact that Laxmi never changes, before discussing the implications of Carol effectively being treated like an existential threat (12:48).They then discuss Carol's recording persona, the highlights of her milk investigation, and her fierce battle with the OG scavengers. They also weigh in on the discourse about the Joined bearing uncanny similarities to generative AI, and talk about whether that should affect the way people perceive the show itself (39:20).They of course finish by diving into the episode's quietly intense ending and how it potentially changes the tone of the entire show (52:51), after which they address comments from the audience (01:03:52).You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also Available on YouTube.Host: Ebube Ubochi Guests: CrisProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

• 'Pluribus' Season 1, Episode 4: Weirdly Honest?

  Time for an experiment! And a love overdose while we're at it. Turns out Carol's a big fan of the scientific method, or at least some semblance of it — we'll put a pin on that for now.Ebube and Cris commend Carol for thinking outside the box as she tries to understand what the Hive can and can’t do for her, and they discuss just how likely — or not — she truly is to save the world from happiness.They start by sharing general thoughts on the episode, before honing in on a certain starving gentleman from Paraguay. Then they explore the implications of Carol asking deeper questions as she realizes she can seek truth in more ways than one, while confronting what love means to her.Check out Cris on Pete Peppers' livestream for episode 3!You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Host: Ebube Ubochi Guests: CrisProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

• 'Pluribus' Season 1, Episode 3: Made of Ice

  With Apple TV's 'Pluribus' now in full swing, Ebube and Cris start by slowly unraveling the layers of Carol’s inadvertent and self-imposed misery, before going on a semi-philosophical search for the meaning of life.They question Carol’s will to live and whether she can actually be happy and count the ways she’s blocking her peace, as well as discuss the role of Helen’s memory in Carol’s rage.They also talk about what Carol should have learned by now, and learn themselves that grenades might be dangerous things to wish for...Check out the Pluribus panel at PaleyFest!You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Host: Ebube Ubochi Guests: CrisProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
