Published: April 25, 2013, 3:08 a.m.

In this episode, Andrew and Monica figure out where Oblivion went right and where it went wrong. How much do great visuals make up for occasional logic gaps? Is there some sort of political or religious allegory lurking beneath the surface? And what's going on with that ending, anyway? Tune in to find out. Plus, they figure out what \ufeffa sequel might look like as an existentialist meditative drama in Reboot This!
