Episode 547 Black Mirror S04E01 USS Callister

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, and commentary and analysis of the Netflix anthology series Black Mirror. This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we examine the Star Trek themed episode “USS Callister” which led off the series’ fourth season. While it’s certainly a parody of the original series to some extent, the episode also forces us to take a look at a number of societal and individual aspects. In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne leaves the genre world to check out The Kitchen, and Dave continues reading Agency, Book 2 of Willam Gibson’s Jackpot Trilogy and the follow up to The Peripheral.  In Listener Feedback, Alan in England checks out the NBC series La Brea, Fred from the Netherlands makes an observation about the tension experienced by viewers, and Alan in Minnesota questions the digital cloning model.  Remember to join the genre television and film discussion on the SciFi TV Rewatch Facebook group for the latest genre television show news and podcast releases.
