0G19: Black Mirror, Hang the DJ, Part 1: Newcomb's Paradox

Published: Aug. 22, 2018, 4 a.m.

We've returned to Black Mirror to talk about one of the episodes that started this all, Hand the DJ. Or maybe we're just yet another simulation of that in a test by a marketing brand to see if this show would work. Hard to say, really.

Speaking of endless cycles, we're due for a new set of intro quotes so if you're a $5+ patron make sure you head over to the patreon site to submit suggestions and vote for your favorites! And we've got the signed book raffle on July 4 for Hamilton and Philosophy as just another way to say thank!
