Hello, Friends! fsociety made another appearance in this thrilling episode of Mr. Robot.

Hello, Friend! We're discussing all things Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 8 -- "Request Timeout" -- and this one was extremely fun to watch as we were taken back to 1995 and then to the present day to see how Dominique, Darlene, Elliot, and Krista are dealing with the fateful blows they've been dealt by the Dark Army. Elliot continues to grapple with the things he discovered about his past with Krista, fortunately, by his side. Janice -- the most banal of evildoers -- tries her taxidermy skills on a...
This is our review of Season 4, Episode 7 of Mr. Robot. A lot of interior shots, monologuing and dramatic moments among Mr. Robot, Elliot, Vera and Krista. Dominque and Darlene must be hanging out at the Shake Shack waiting for their turn in the story, hopefully next week. No hacking this week. Maybe next week? Will we ever find out what Whiterose is shipping?
Hello, friend! I want to tell you a story. Nah -- just kidding. We'll leave the storytelling to Vera. If you're here that means you probably want to listen to our podcast recap of "406 Not Acceptable" -- the sixth episode of the final season of Mr. Robot. What can we say about this momentous episode? Not all monsters are into the hacker way and wear hoodies but Elliot sure counts among them. Please listen, rate and review. Most of all, we hope you enjoy this latest installment of our humble podc...
At long last, we're ready to share with you our recap and review of "405 Method Not Allowed" -- the fifth episode of the final season of Mr. Robot. If silence is golden, this episode was solid gold -- there were only two lines spoken in the entire show tonight. While Phillip Price is sent on a cat and mouse game by Whiterose, Darlene and Elliot pull off the biggest series of hacks that we've seen strung together in succession. What is Vera up to we want to know. More importantly, where did Vera ...
Hello, Friend! If episode 4 of the final season of Mr. Robot taught us anything -- it's that if you think your holiday is going really bad there's always someone else who is having a worse time of it. This episode contained many fairytale like qualities and our heroes in the show seemed more lost and disadvantaged than ever in terms of vanquishing the Dark Army and finding their way. Not even Tobias the drunk Santa can lift our spirits -- death and uncertainty are in the air. It's all of questio...
As Whiterose might say -- you're just in time for our recap and review of this latest episode of Mr. Robot. We're just a few weeks away from this series finale. In this episode, we were treated to a ton of exposition and the perils and pleasures of online dating on Christmas Eve. We learned part of what drives Whiterose and that we ought to never trust Fernando Vera around chickens or around anyone for that matter. Please have a listen and feel free to get in touch at hellofriendpod@protonmaill....
RE-UPLOADED - FULL-LENGTH -------------------------------------- Well, hello there, friend! We're back for our review of Mr. Robot S4E2, called "402 Payment Required." What did you think of this latest installment of the final season of the series? Did you find there were more questions than answers -- or are you starting to see where things are heading? We learned some new information regarding the nature of the so-called "invisible hand" controlling the world stage. We also learned that, as al...
Greetings and salutations! It's been a while. We sure have missed you. Join us, your fearless co-hosts, as we recap the happenings and goings on in "401 Unauthorized" -- the season 4 premiere of Mr. Robot. This is the final season and the general consensus is that episode 1 of season 4 had a distinctly different feel in comparison to previous seasons. One thing is for certain: this first episode set the chess pieces for the rest of the series. We encounter many familiar faces, Elliot, Angela, Da...
Helllllllllo, Friends! As 2018 quickly becomes a distant, dystopian memory and we hurtle into 2019, we thought it would be fun to drop this bonus episode of the Hello Friend Mr. Robot podcast. The theme of this podcast is “Zeitgeist review” — Henry and I took a deep dive around some of the themes found in Season 3 of Mr. Robot and how they relate to current events and society in general. We will drop at least one more episode as we head into Season 4, which is probably going to be its final seas...
Hello, friend! Just when you thought it was safe to go outside, it’s time for another podcast review of Mr. Robot, Season 3 episode 9. We’re so close to the end of this season and we’ve seen Elliot make some bold moves against the Dark Army in an attempt to right what went wrong. White Rose gets some honesty from her assistant and apparent paramour Grant. Now that Tyrell is the new E-Corp CTO, does that mean he’s poised to take over the whole corporation eventually? What does the book Lolita hav...
Hello friend, it’s time for popcorn-filled podcast recap of Mr. Robot. This time your fearless co-hosts are here to discuss the 8th installment of season three of this incredibly prescient series. This whole episode is about deletion — deletion of files but also of oneself and things that are unpleasant to us. Imagine if that was possible in real life! If you have a comment or question, please feel free to email us at thehellofriendpodcast [at] gmail [dot] com. No cosplayers were harmed in the r...
Hello, Friend! Just when you think you can escape the dystopian reality that is 2017, you realize another new episode of Mr. Robot has dropped and you are once again watching an excellent show — but at the same time, you wonder if this episode might be harkening to a near-future reality. We see some familiar faces as this compelling and yet bleak episode came to a crashing end. Is Irving right? Are all revolutions manufactured to take our attention away from larger world events we have little in...
Hello, friend. It’s Back to the Future over and over and over again as the sixth episode of this third season of Mr. Robot starts with a dramatic flashback and ends with a bang, well 71 of them. Sometimes the best laid plans all go awry. It doesn’t matter how much Elliot tries, success as well as happiness seem fleeting for him. If you like what you hear, consider subscribing, rating and reviewing. Time for an “Enchantment Under the Sea Dance” as we slip into podcastland.
Hello, Friend! Do you find it hard to believe that we are already at episode 5 for the third season of Mr. Robot? This episode, called “eps3.4_runtime-err0r.r00”, played as a continuous one-shot. However, as in real life, variable — so many confounding variables — got in the way to challenge Elliot’s plan to roll back the damage he’s done by shutting down the Dark Army plan to implement Phase 2. This all sounds confusing but not when you have big brains like Mr. Robot, Elliot, Tyrell, White Rose...

Grab a cozy seat — your favorite comfy chair or place of peace — and pour yourself a nice hot cup of tea and join us, your fearless co-hosts, for our review of Season 3 Episode 3 of Mr. Robot, ever so cryptically entitled “Eps3.2legacy.so” We saw a lot of Irving — the master engineer but not the ultimate puller of strings: He’s simply effective, efficient and understands his contribution to the nefarious value chain of the White Rose-led Dark Army. On the tech front, we talk about data sets, ana...
What if we had the ability to undo things we’ve done in our lives? The power to go back and fix things that went horribly wrong might be something we all wish we had from time-to-time. In Elliot’s case, at least as far as he sees it, he’s burdened with having to try to undo a hack so effective that it brought down the world economy. He even goes so far as to take a job at E-Corp. Almost in tandem with the hack that Elliot made happen — the 5/9 hack — we have a scenario where China and the United...
A bonus episode in anticipation of our full review of eps3.1_undo.gz – s3e2 — Season 3, Episode 2 of Mr. Robot.
Faster than a red wheelbarrow on fire, careening down a steep hill — the new season of Mr. Robot started off at a frenetic, red-hot pace and did not slow down the entire time. The series got off to a fast start with the introduction of of a retro-style “Fixer” named Irving (part Columbo , part Harry Tuttle ) who seems to be in the employ of the Dark Army and pretty handy with hacking as well as social hacking. Elliot was definitely shot by Tyrell (who is very upset about that fact) and so we see...
This is our review of the Mr. Robot “Red Wheelbarrow” book. We start going down a a lot of proverbial rabbit holes as we discuss the Red Wheelbarrow book issued by the creators of Mr. Robot. The book is important for understanding Season 2 as well as Season 3 of the series. If you want to get in touch with us about the show or the podcast, please send an email at thehellofriendpodcast@gmail.com.
Have you ever noticed that Mr. Robot show creator apparently has an affection for fish of all types — including Qwerty the beloved fish. We’re finally ready to share our recap of episode 11 of season 2 of Mr. Robot. As Tyrell says “The Dark Army told me that Stage 2 is ready. When you see it, you’ll be pleased. It worked, Elliot. It’s up to us now. Let me show you.” Listen here for our recap of this pretty mesmerizing episode. Please rate, subscribe and review our podcast so that people can bett...
Hello, Friend. Welcome to our review of episode 10 of season 2 of Mr. Robot . Phillip Price played his part as the evil villain: “I always asked the question, ‘Am I the most powerful person in the room?’ The answer needed to be yes. To this day I still ask that question. And the answer is still yes. In every room in the entire world, the answer is yes. With the exception of one…or two. And that drives me. I intend to leave a legacy, the standard of which was set by God when he created the Earth ...
Hello, Friend — Ready for a recap of episode 9 of season 2 (“eps2.7_init_5.fve”) of Mr. Robot?This is no time to be eating gyros — it’s time for the H3ll0 Fr1end podcast. We give all the low-down involving Elliot, Dom, Angela, Whiterose — even Cisco, who is lucky to be alive after his encounter with Darlene last we saw him. There were so many cool and creepy elements, plus a great soundtrack as usual. Still can’t see the big picture — what’s motivating Price — and maybe that’s a good thing. Keep...
Beware when Darlene is on your case. That will only work out well for her. Cisco, Susan Jacobs, Angela, Mobley, Trenton and even Elliot have learned that. Is she a force for good or something more nebulous than that? Hello, Friend — in episode 8 of season 2 (“eps2.6_succ3ss0r.p12”) of Mr. Robot, we don’t get to see Elliot. Instead, we get to see what happens to #fsociety when you have a bloodhound like Dom DiPierro on your scent. Major lesson learned? Never use your DJ name for your hacker name....
Hello, Friend! In episode 7 of season 2 (“eps2.4_m4ster-s1ave.aes”), we see Ray and Elliot play a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Joanna may need to rethink her penchant for wearing white. Angela keeps rocking those fake eyelashes. Darlene remains determined. Mr. Robot and Elliot find an uneasy alliance. If you’re ever in a bind, here’s hoping we all have a friend like Leon to stay by our side: “You’re gonna get a letter on Tuesday. Do what it says. Yo man, when you see Whiterose, make sure you...
In an explosive episode all about masters and slaves — you know, typical slang for computer equipment — we got to see how Angela and Darlene attempt to carry out their plan to hack the FBI — with a little help from Mobley and Trenton. In episode 6 of season 2 (“eps2.4_m4ster-s1ave.aes”), we see Elliot finally embrace the idea that Mr. Robot is somehow there to protect him. We saw some amazing guest appearances, such as Alf and get a strong sense of how Elliot sees his mother — not the greatest. ...
