Popcorn for Dinner

Time for an experiment! And a love overdose while we're at it. Turns out Carol's a big fan of the scientific method, or at least some semblance of it — we'll put a pin on that for now. Ebube and Cris commend Carol for thinking outside the box as she tries to understand what the Hive can and can’t do for her, and they discuss just how likely — or not — she truly is to save the world from happiness....

With Apple TV's 'Pluribus' now in full swing, Ebube and Cris start by slowly unraveling the layers of Carol’s inadvertent and self-imposed misery, before going on a semi-philosophical search for the meaning of life. They question Carol’s will to live and whether she can actually be happy and count the ways she’s blocking her peace, as well as discuss the role of Helen’s memory in Carol’s rage. The...

Bankole, Chris and Angel are on the edge of their seats this week, watching Jackson Lamb potentially on the back foot for what might just be the first ever in what is probably Bankole's favorite episode of 'Slow Horses' till date. The guys start by dutifully listening to Angel explain why everyone should watch HBO's 'The Pitt' — she's very convincing — and the...

And he’s showing Bankole and Chiagoziem the insights that just might help Marie take down Cipher on Prime Video's 'Gen V' . The crew huddles up to guess what colour Cipher’s blood truly is, and whether he’s fond of a certain blue injection from The Boys, before getting into the refreshing change...

Does anyone do any work around here? Well, of course not — this is Slough House. And somehow Roddy's delusion has only grown since last week.
