Craig and his podcast team give a superb review of the Westworld episodes; extremely entertaining and informative. The interviews with Ptolomy Slocum and Louis Herthum add insights on their careers and what it&#39;s like to play roles in the series.  Lots of discussions on other movies and series like Black Mirror keep my interest while we all wait for Season 2 of Westworld.  Keep up the great work!  Thanks!
