Hello, Friend. Here’s our review of Season 2 Episode 4 of Mr. Robot , called “ eps2.2_init1.asec ” — in a lot of ways the origin story for fsociety and the beginnings of Mr. Robot the hacker. Elliot’s struggles are real — and we see the game of chess take front in center as a tool for improving his vision for the future and maybe exorcising Mr. Robot from his life forever.

Hello, Friend. Please join us for our recap and discussion of the premiere episode of season 2 of Mr. Robot , called “eps2.0_unm4sk-pt1.tc” — where we pick up just a few short weeks after that fateful hack that took place on May 9, 2015 according to our best calculations. We get to check in and see that Elliot’s life is very different from where we left him previously. He still seems quite shaken up by the events that unfolded — and he continues to be unnerved by his associations with the sociop...

Hello, Friend. To quote Mr. Robot: “Is any of it real? I mean, look at this, look at it! A world built on fantasy! Synthetic emotions in the form of pills! Psychological warfare in the form of advertising! Mind altering chemicals in the form of food! Brainwashing seminars in the form of media! Controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social networks. Real? You want to talk about reality? We haven’t lived in anything remotely close to it since the turn of the century!” Join us for our recap of ...

Mr. Robot S1 E5 | eps1.4_3xpl0its.wmv | H3ll0, Fr1end: A Mr. Robot Podcast

Hello, Friend: You’re just in time for our podcast recap of Mr. Robot — season 1 episode 5 — “eps1.4_3xpl0its.wmv.” A major pat of the story this time was around the fsociety plan to penetrate and eventually destroy Steel Mountain — and Evil Corp along with it.

The Evil Corp CTO ( Scott Knowles ) suspects this, too, as he glibly asks Tyrell: “If you were me, would you trust you as your right ha...

In this most David Lynch -like of episodes — “eps1.3_da3m0ns.mp4” explores the monsters in the things we build in the things we create — and the very monsters that may reside inside of us, especially the hidden ones.

A major pat of the ongoing narrative revolves around how much of a box we live in — questioning the ...

Mr. Robot S1 E3 | eps1.2_d3bug.mkv | H3ll0, Fr1end: A Mr. Robot Podcast

According to Elliot , our most unreliable narrator: “Most coders think debugging software is about fixing a mistake, but that’s bullshit. Debugging’s actually all about finding the bug, about understanding why the bug was there to begin with, about knowing that its existence was no accident. It came to you to deliver a message, like an unconscious bubble floating to the surface, popping with a revelation you’ve secretly known all along.” We’re also here to deliver our message to you, loyal liste...

Mr. Robot S1 E2 | eps1.1_ones-and-zer0es.mpeg | H3ll0, Fr1end: A Mr. Robot Podcast

The central premise around the second episode of season 1 of Mr. Robot is whether you are a one or a zero. In computer parlance, one’s and zero’s are what comprise the basis of binary code. In this episode, it become a metaphor for choices in our lives — both choices real and imagined. Lots of questions, and dangerous ones at that, are explored in this “H3ll0, Fr1end” podcast recap. We discover that Elliot ( Rami Malek) has some deep thoughts about what it means to really have control in one’s l...
