Philip K. Dick returns to the show with what might be his strongest story yet with \\u201cSecond Variety,\\u201d but how does the adaptation by Christian Duguay stack up? In episode 151, Luke & James smoke some anti-radiation cigs and set off into the wastes to hunt some deadly machines.

Topics: Peter Weller AKA Robocop himself as Hendrickson, a swiss-army knife character, cold war era anxieties, secret Terminator inspiration, PKD\\u2019s signature woman-character revisited, a remarkably unsexy onscreen kiss, teaching machines how to\\u2026 you know, and a final vote deciding which was better: the short story or the movie!
