The Hosts take a deep dive on HBO's WestWorld Episode 10, "The Bicameral Mind". The show did a fantastic job of buttoning up certain story lines and giving us some much needed answers. We learn about Ford’s final story and how it relates to the world as a whole. We also learn about the maze and what it means for hosts like Dolores and Bernard. Ther…

The Hosts take a deep dive on HBO's WestWorld Episode Nine, The Well-Tampered Clavier. They discuss some of the inherent issues proposed in this episode from a story-telling point of view.

WestWorld Episode 4, Dissonance Theory, all at once poses a bunch of questions and gives very few answers.

TheHosts Doug Norrie and James Davis take a deep dive on HBO's WestWorld Episode Three: The Stray.
