Analysis: A Westworld Podcast

This week Jordan and Jeremy discuss their feelings on Westworld Season 2 as a whole. Unfortunately, it doesn’t end up being all that positive. The big reveals ended up being predictable and the setup for Season 3 is just… not promising. They’ve let Westworld become a world with no rules. This will also be the final episode of Analysis: A Westworld Podcast. We had talked about doing Season 1 or the movie, but there’s just nothing left to talk about. Better to end it than force it. Thanks for listening! Maybe in a few years when season 3 happens… Sign-up for HPN’s weekly newsletter! Head over to heroespodcasts.com/newsletter to sign-up today.

This week Jordan and Jeremy discuss Westworld S2E9, The Passenger. In recapping this bonus-sized episode of westworld, we actually decided we’ll be splitting it into a 2-parter. This is the first Wild Speculation Corner-free episode of Analysis. We discuss people as books, the Forge, hints of The Matrix, bad special effects, Bernard’s weird brain, Hale 2’s ball bag, and The Passenger’s post-credits BONUS SCENE (That Jeremy totally forgot to watch). Apologies for some sound quality issues. Jordan needs a screen for his mic and hits his Ps pretty hard through the whole episode (Which I did not try to edit out because it would take forever).

Well, there had to eventually be a worst episode of Westworld and I think we found it, folks. Lame writing, sloppy acting, extremely forced “WHO’S A HOST” drama. After the powerhouse that was Episode 8, Episode 9 Vanishing Point was a real letdown. We talk through the pathetic loser that is The Man in Black, bad drunk acting, Clem the Zombie Queen, secret hats, suicide, and what might be Westworld’s Red Wedding moment.

This week, Jordan and Jeremy discuss Westworld Season 2, Episode 8 Kiksuya, a beautiful side-story and pseudo recap spanning seasons 1 and 2. We talk through the newest glance at The Valley Beyond, the visual effects that make Akecheta such a compelling figure on screen, and the real motive of The Man in Black’s daughter, Grace.

This week, Jordan and Jeremy discuss Westworld Season 2, Episode 7 Les Escorches and the slowly unveiling master plans of both Hale and Ford. We talk through the ramifications of the cradle’s destruction, the ever-shifting timelines, and the shark-jumpy campiness of this whole episode. In wild speculation corner, we guess at what happened to Ford’s digital ghost and what really lies within the Valley Beyond. Sign-up for our weekly newsletter!
