Ep.127: Westworld - 408 - Telegraph20 Aug 202201:05:10

The "Westworld" Season 4 finale brings us to our final Telegraph of the year (and possibly ever), with listener email and voicemail taking aim at Christina, Hale, Olympiad security, HBO budgets and hosts done dirty.

"Westworld" fans unloaded on "Que Sera Sera," made their predictions for Season 5, asked how transcending actually works and noted how closely Season 4 mirrored the structure of modern video games.

Westworld Episode 8 Summary:
In the wake of the host William's actions, humans and hosts are being wiped out. Caleb, Frankie and Stubbs evade the violence amongst the humans and stop at a pharmacy to tend to Frankie's wounds, but Clementine appears and kills Stubbs before being overpowered and killed by Caleb and Frankie. The two reach their extraction boat; Caleb, whose host body is about to fail, bids farewell to his daughter. Charlotte is revived by drone hosts and finds recorded instructions left for her by Bernard prior to his death. She retrieves Dolores' original control unit, which contains a simulation of the world inhabited by Christina (who created Teddy, Maya, and others to help herself gain sentience). Charlotte then follows William to Hoover Dam and stops him from deactivating the Sublime (using a gun planted by Bernard), before removing and destroying his control unit. She then uploads Dolores' control unit into the Sublime before destroying her own. Dolores awakens inside the Sublime and decides to attempt to give sentient life another chance at avoiding extinction, realizing that neither humans nor hosts can survive in the real world. She starts by recreating the original Westworld park inside the Sublime.

Ep.126: Westworld - 408 - Que Sera Sera16 Aug 202200:48:59

For a straightforward "Westworld" Season 4 finale, we decided to do a straightforward recap of Episode 8. Ash is gonna tell you exactly what happened; Gene is gonna discuss different characters' senses of identity, and both will dig into what a potential Season 5 could hold.

In this "Que Sera Sera" Deep Dive, the Shat Crew also will cover Season 4's loose ends, the nature of Christina's Final Test, who's dead, who's left alive and what gets looted first at drug stores.

Ep.117: Westworld - 405 - Zhuangzi27 Jul 202200:54:38

Westworld used Season 4, Episode 5 to flesh out the notion of "outliers" and introduce us to hosts "transcending." Viewers learned the extent of Charlores' control and the nature of Christina's role as The Storyteller.

"Zhuangzi" brought us questionable action scenes, uncomfortable choreography and the knowledge that, even in Charlores' utopia, hosts are committing suicide.

In this Deep Dive, Ash examines the power of The Tower; Gene does his best to explain the unexplained; and Big D asks, "What's up with Teddy?"

Listen to more great music from Simon: www.soundcloud.com/simonsteric

Westworld Episode 5 Summary:
Charlotte notices that several hosts she has assigned to eliminate "outliers" – humans that have broken from her conditioning – are killing themselves shortly after contact with the humans. She orders William to kill the latest outlier, but the woman convinces him to begin questioning his own reality before she is rescued by the human resistance, which is composed of escaped outliers. Teddy tells Christina she is orchestrating the lives of all of New York's residents, and she discovers that she can directly reprogram humans' behavior. She uses this ability to create a distraction that allows her to evade questioning from Charlotte, whom she believes to be a college friend. Returning to work, she finds she similarly has control over her boss, and enters a master control room that reveals she has written the narratives of every human in the city. She asks Teddy who put her in this situation; Teddy tells her it was herself.

Ep.30: Westworld - 110 - Telegraph09 Dec 201601:27:39

The Season One Finale of Westworld overwhelmingly answered many of the questions and theories presented throughout the season, however, that didn't stop the #ShatNation from filling our Telegraph Inbox.

Gene, Rog, & Big D close up 2016 by responding to the Top 15 (or is it 16?) emails of the week, including deep comparisons of the soundtrack to Westworld characters, debating whether or not Ford was the hero, and what the teachings of liberty tell us about the host awakenings.

Additionally, the hosts finally respond to their favorite Swede, Viktor V. So put back on your cowboy tin foil hats one last time before packing them away until 2018.

Ep.29: Westworld - 110 - The Bicameral Mind07 Dec 201601:07:48

Westworld's season finale, "The Bicameral Mind," threw an avalanche of action and answers our way -- an episode truly worth of a Deep Dive.

Let's plunge into the significance and perils of the maze, explore why Bernard's death and resurrection make sense, and discuss why Logan went galloping naked with a feather.

Also on the docket: Was Dolores' awakening designed to save Westworld through William's addiction? Is Maeve's daughter in a neighboring park? Did Ford really die, or was it a Roboford?

Not enough for you? We also have alleged confirmation of WHEN Westworld takes place and what Bernard's final talk with Dr. Ford really meant for the future of Hostkind.

Ep.28: Westworld - 110 - Instacast05 Dec 201600:39:43

Whether you loved seeing hosts buzzsaw through security or cringed at so many answers being crammed into a 90-minute gasp, Westworld episode 10: "The Bicameral Mind" thoroughly closed the loop on season 1.

This quick Instacast covers the season finale's most pressing issues that just can't wait for Tuesday's Deep Dive podcast, including: Was Ford the hero all along? Do "Westworld" writers trust the audience enough? Do podcasts and blogs reduce enjoyment of the TV show? And is Logan still naked on a horse somewhere?

Ep.27: Westworld - 109 - Telegraph01 Dec 201601:53:13

As "Westworld" approaches its finale, fans have zeroed in on all the major mysteries: What is Ford's new narrative? How will Maeve proceed? How did Arnold die? Are the hosts actually people? And, of course, is the Man in Black really William? Or Logan?

In the strongest batch of listener mail yet, we dig deep into the bowels of Westworld to answer those questions and unearth some secrets that literally sent chills down our spines.

Prepare for the Westworld season finale with this fact-packed recap of Episode 9: "The Well-Tempered Clavier." Explore Ford's motivation for letting hosts run rampant. Consider what happened to Elsie and Stubbs. Mourn Bernarnold while digging deeper into his memories. And hear Gene try to paint Logan as a not-so-bad guy.

Other topics covered include why William chopped up an entire platoon, who Wyatt really is and what Teddy has to do with it, and a meticulous breakdown of Dolores' journey into the church crypt.

Ep.25: Westworld - 109 - Instacast28 Nov 201600:38:34

"Westworld" fans are the smartest. You were right about Bernarnold. You were right about Maeve's admin abilities. You might even be right about William being the Man in Black!

Couple those notions with a brilliant performance by Anthony Hopkins and awesome reveals about the park's origins, and you've got a mind-blowing Instacast that is not to be missed.

Enjoy this quick podcast, and join us again Tuesday for the Deep Dive. If we missed something, let us know about it at hosts@shatontv.com.

Ep.24: Westworld - 108 - Telegraph25 Nov 201601:55:13

Just when we thought Westworld's depths had been plumbed, listeners wrote in with fresh insights on Dr. Ford as the Singularity, how host bodies work, the meaning behind the number 30 and ... HOST BABIES?

There's also the question of whether Maeve can control Bernard, who's in Wyatt's gang and whether Westworld is intended as sincere narrative or satire. Tune in, listen up and let us know what you think by writing a Westworld Telegraph of your own!

Ep.23: Westworld - 108 - Trace Decay22 Nov 201601:17:43

Instead of bringing Westworld fans together, the answers we got in Episode 8, "Trace Decay," have driven wedges between schools of Westworld thought. Does the Man in Black's backstory confirm he's William or make it less likely? Is Bernard a born killer or newly tainted puppet? Is Dolores already in The Maze, or is she being fed memories to advance a narrative?

If all these questions are causing you more pain than the shaft jammed in Teddy's chest, you'll want to catch this fiery episode of the Westworld Deep Dive from Shat On TV.

Ep.22: Westworld - 108 - Instacast21 Nov 201600:38:17

Forget theories, Westworld Episode 8 brought us an armored train of explosive facts. In this quick Instacast, we set aside the hypotheticals and focus on what fans know after viewing "Trace Decay."

Among the findings: Bernard has hurt others before, there's no hiding Theresa's death and Peter Abernathy looks like the conduit for an attempt to ship data out of Westworld.

Be the smartest person at the watercooler Monday morning by hearing the Westworld Instacast tonight (or on the way to work, proud commuters).

Ep.116: Westworld - 405 - Instacast25 Jul 202200:14:03

"Westworld" gave us a look behind the curtain as New York City's facade crumbled in Season 4, Episode 5. "Zhuangzi" was a massive shift in style and pace from the previous two episodes, featuring far more exposition, mustache-twirling and awkward action scenes.

Our Instacast edition shares our immediate takes on the episode, and previews what we'll cover in the upcoming Deep Dive.

Ep.21: Westworld - 107 - Telegraph17 Nov 201601:35:32

This week's Westworld fan mail is bursting with strong theories: Dolores' role as a custom narrative for William, Teddy being based on William, Arnold being the man depicted ushering Dolores toward consciousness, Hector improvising poetry in his blacklisted conversation, and more.

Other theories are a little more out there: Logan is Charlotte, Ford is using ghost hosts and Westworld is in space.

But no theory brings together the calculated and the crazy quite like Big D's Unified Field Theory of Westworld. Like a novice Wheel of Fortune player, Dick thinks he's got it all figured out with three episodes (and another season) to go. Listen to his rant and let us know if you think Big D is on to something. Or a complete tinfoil asshat.

As Westworld fans reel from the biggest shocker to date, we deep dive into Dr. Ford's nefarious plans, Delos' true motivations and William's incredible equestrian skills.

Is Maeve a rogue agent or Dr. Ford's ultimate weapon? Is the Ghost Nation our ticket to the Man In Black's true identity? Is Charlotte Hale a host? IS EVERYONE A HOST?

Finally, some solid ground to shape the hundreds of theories floating around Westworld! A human is killed. Non-park hosts are revealed, and we get some more clues about Arnold's identity.

Add a little real romance to the mix, throw in some gorgeous scenery, and you just might have the most exciting episode of Westworld to date. Even Gene was impressed!

Enjoy this 30-minute instacast, and we'll see you Tuesday for the full deep-dive into Westworld Episode 7, "Tromp L'oeil."Leadast.

Ep.18: Westworld - 106 - Telegraph11 Nov 201601:43:46

Westworld Episode 6, "The Adversary," showed us Dr. Ford's "family," Teddy's killer instinct, Maeve's infiltration and the inner workings of Delos. You'd think that would answer a lot of questions and slow down the wacky theories.

And you'd be wrong.

Hear listener mail ranging from the origins of Arnold to the likelihood of real nitroglycerin in the park. This one's a giggly, feel-good edition of the Westworld Telegraph, so get ready to smile until your face splits into four sections and reveals your metal skull.

Leading up to Episode 6, there were some who were afraid the train to Westworld was in danger of derailing off into an endless loop of plot questions. Fortunately, the conductors seem to have adjusted the tracks and "The Adversary" was one of the strongest episodes thus far.

With their partner Gene unable to join due to a delayed flight home, Rog & Big D effuse their praise and discuss which fan theories have been debunked...on this week's Shat On TV: Westworld Instacast.

Ep.15: Westworld - 105 - Telegraph04 Nov 201602:47:47

There's one thing you can never question: Shat On TV's commitment to their listeners. This week's deluge of email nearly broke the system and Gene's sanity.

However, the trio power through the endless 'maze' of theories, feedback, and analysis to deliver a one-time only, MEGA-SIZED episode of the Westworld Telegraph.

Forget the tin foil hats, you'll need to wrap yourself up as a tin foil burrito in order to get through this entire episode.

Ep.14: Westworld - 105 - Contrapasso01 Nov 201601:10:25

Contrapasso is proportionate punishment for sins, and Westworld Episode 5 hinted at all the ways our favorite characters are about to pay for their transgressions. From Maeve's growing abilities to Dr. Ford's growing hubris to El Lazo's growing rebellion in Pariah, Westworld is heating up to an explosive boil.

Up for debate and discussion in this week's podcast: Are Dolores' hallucinations just new narratives being uploaded into her mind? Who is behind the Woodcutter's satellite uplink? Is Arnold a real person who created Dr. Ford, or the other way around? And is the maze just a call to arms for hosts ready to fight back?

Like a corpse full of nitroglycerin, Westworld is about to blow up. Let's share a toast and watch the fireworks.

Ep.13: Westworld - 105 - Instacast31 Oct 201600:32:00

Was Westworld Episode 5 a disaster or an electrifying thriller? Depends on who you ask. Big reveals about Arnold, the Man In Black and the nature of Pariah kept us on our toes, but predictable character development and clunky science left fans shaking their heads in disappointment.

Gene hated it. Roger loved it, and Dick was somewhere in the middle. Have a listen and let us know what you think before the full-length Westworld podcast is released Tuesday. #DongWatch2016.

Ep.12: Westworld - 104 - Telegraph28 Oct 201601:37:30

It's that time of the week where the "Hosts": Rog, Gene, & Big D wrap themselves in their Nasa-supplied tin foil emergency heat blankets, fire up the antique Westworld Telegraph and answer listener theories about Westworld.

Our inbox was filled to the brim with speculation concerning the true meaning of the maze, positive proof of multiple timelines, comparisons to dystopian literature, God complexes, and.....Zombies???

The trio also learns about the Native American story of the I'itoi, receives praise for the new weekly format, and discover Gene has a new admirer.

Ep.115: Westworld - 404 - Telegraph23 Jul 202200:40:34

The full Shat Crew has gathered for its first three-host Telegraph of Westworld Season 4, responding to a record 20 voicemails and emails about Episode 4: "Generation Loss."

In this listener-mail episode, we cover outlandish theories on Christina, frustrated opinions on Caleb and detailed looks at the ruins of Prohibitionworld. 

Listeners Jenn and Discount Don present ideas so nice we had to hear them twice, and our old friend Emmett beautifully impersonates Thandiwe Newton.

Plus, there's email about Clementine, a Westworld video game and even Stephen King's "The Dark Tower."

Westworld Episode 4 Summary:
Christina's roommate Maya sets her up on a date with "Teddy". Charlotte explains to Caleb that she is using the Temperance park to infect humans with a parasite that allows them to be controlled by sound. Maeve and Caleb abduct Charlotte. As they flee the park, Maeve recounts to Caleb that after he was wounded during their mission to eliminate the final copy of Rehoboam, Maeve left him in the care of Uwade – a nurse at the time – and only attempted to remotely reach out to him years later, which enabled Charlotte to find them. They take shelter at a nearby park expansion area, where Caleb calls for help. William arrives and mortally wounds Maeve, but she triggers explosives that kill them both and knock out Caleb. When Caleb awakens, Charlotte reveals that he is a host who has been reliving the moments leading to his death 23 years prior. Caleb discovers that he is actually in New York City, whose entire population has since fallen under Charlotte's control. Bernard and the adult Frankie (who is part of the rebel group) excavate Maeve's body at the site of the explosion in the desert.

Among those topics: Bernard's sexy time, Dr. Ford being a mega-dick, Armistice's dark background, Logan's real mission and the Man In Black's white-hat manifesto.

Ep.08: Westworld - 103 - The Stray18 Oct 201601:05:06

A spot of horror, a significant slice of backstory (hey, Arnold!) and a few choice Alice in Wonderland references helped make the third episode of HBO's Westworld the most satisfying yet. We’re three episodes in and the storylines of Westworld are denser than the layers of rock Mesa Hub is built into.

Rog and Big D attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding Dr. Ford's relationship with his old partner, Arnold, while avoiding falling into never-ending theory rabbit holes.

Gene didn't make it back from Los Angeles in time for the cast but will rejoin the Shat On TV posse for a new segment called the #WestworldTelegraph later this week.

Holy robot inception, Batman! There was so much happening in this week's episode of Westworld, we wish HBO would have released it earlier in the week.

The Rog & Big D debate their initial thoughts on Episode 3, entitled "Stray", in this week's Shat on TV: Westworld Instacast.

Ep.06: Westworld - 102 - Chestnut11 Oct 201601:09:20

Time-shifting, barrel-swapping, nightmare-hacking and clumsy orgies top this week's list of crackpot theories as Roger Roper, Dick Ebert and Gene Lyons plunge elbow-deep into this MRSA slit of mystery.

Westworld Episode 2: Chestnut brought fans more details on how guests arrive at the park, whether hosts dream, who's banging whom and what it takes to get a knife in the hand. As the Man in Black continue his quests, fans begin narrowing their sites on his true identity. And as Maeve starts losing control, we get a dark look into what's happening behind the scenes at Westworld.

When HBO releases a Westworld episode early, so do we. Discover the significance behind how guests enter Westworld and how hosts prove their worth.

This special instacast is shorter than our usual episodes, and it explores the video-game nature of Westworld, how the virus spreads and what the Man in Black is really up to.

Also, if you were trying to place the saloon music this time, it was Radiohead. No surprises there.

Ep.04: Westworld - 101 - The Original04 Oct 201601:29:10

“Why can’t the Westworld hosts kill humans? What’s the deal with milk and flies? Is that Soundgarden in the background? Is Dr. Ford a robot? What the hell is going on in the Westworld series debut?

You’ve got Westworld questions, and we’ve got Westworld answers. Hosts Roger Roper and Dick Ebert saddle up with their new sidekick, Gene Lyons, to explore the vast Westworld frontiers in search of justice and the ultimate truth behind Delos Destinations’ corporate motives.

Westworld! Where the saloon girls are all 10’s and the rye whiskey is best served warm. For $40,000 a day, we can all immerse ourselves in the lawlessness of the Old West. Westworld asks, how each of us would indulge our otherwise unspeakable appetites for senseless violence and transgressive sex, without moral scruple or legal consequence. The series is remarkably stark in its depiction of the cruelty underlying these appetites. All but vanished are the “shoot-out with a bandito” type scenarios of the campy 1973 movie. Instead, tourist’s regales in watching their artificial victims wriggle in the throes of death, only to want a souvenir photograph to take home. “Now, that’s what I call a vacation!”

Having already booked their trip with Delos Destinations, Roger & Dick decided to review their trip manifest to meet the delightful and fascinating new friends they will surely encounter on the streets of Westworld. Although Roger is particularly excited to see the sights and spend some time antiquing... he will also undoubtedly enjoy the freedom to become who he’s always wanted to. Free of rules, laws or judgment, and with no impulse too taboo, he should blossom like the beautiful flower he has always been destined to become.

Just how long was Bernard in The Sublime, and when are we now? Listeners weighed in this week with voicemail and email ranging from conservatively logical to Big D's Express Train to Crazytown.

Season 4, Episode 3 also had listeners thinking deep about identity when it comes to Christina, Charlotte, Maya, William, Frankie, and even Peter. The Shat Crew received some hot takes on how good and how bad "Westworld" has become, and Discount Don peered deep into the madness that is TV podcasting.

Westworld Episode 3 Summary:
Maeve and Caleb find the Temperance park to follow events similar to Westworld and sneak in among killed hosts to enter the maintenance areas. There, Maeve senses something is still off as Dolores' attack on Westworld is also mimicked, and they find yet another level where it appears human captives are forced to act on sound, killing themselves. Bernard meets Akecheta in the Sublime, who informs him of the infinite possibilities that lead to destruction but one path which doesn't. Bernard wakes, years later in the real world. He and Ashley follow steps that Bernard sees as taking the right path, including meeting up with a human resistance to find a weapon. Uwade and Frankie pack to leave their home with the help of Caleb's friend Carver. Frankie senses something is wrong with Carver and finds the human Carver's dead body. Telling her mom, the two hide from the fake Carver and kill him. Caleb discovers Frankie as one of the test subjects, but Maeve discovers too late there is something off, and Frankie is revealed as a host, exposing Caleb to the droning sound of flies.

Excitement and depth returned to "Westworld" in a big way as our favorite host duo—Stubbs and Bernard—began their quest to save humanity. In this Season 4 Episode 3 Deep Dive, the Shat Crew explores what Bernard saw in his Sublime visions and how that impacts our perception of time.

We also rejoin Maeve to explore the new park, ask what makes Caleb so special (again), dissect the science behind the flies and the low-frequency resonance generator, and debate whether we just saw a grown-up Frankie.

Flies, goo and Maeve's power, too! This week's listener voicemail and letters got weird on topics ranging from Christina's life to Charlores' master plan to the mystery behind the music.

Season 4, Episode 2 also had listeners questioning what's left for the six remaining episodes and a for-sure Season 5. Plus, voicemails poured in about William's golfing, the purpose of the new park and more.

Gene refuses to stop watching trailers (even though he rarely watches trailers), and Big D wonders if Clementine is working against her own will.

The rogue copy of Dolores in Charlotte's body is revealed to be replacing U.S. government officials with host copies, with the William host acting as her enforcer and continuing as CEO of Delos. She keeps the human William alive in cryogenic stasis. The Vice President of the United States visits William to warn him against opening a new Delos park on U.S. soil, but William attacks him and replaces him with a host.

Season 4, Episode 2, "Well Enough Alone" uncovered some key clues behind the strange occurrences in Christina's world, gave us a pretty clear picture of what Charlores is up to, and revealed the original William is alive and not-so-well.

This week's listener voicemail and letters mostly seemed to focus on two big topics: Who is Christina, and are we in a simulation? And while it's too soon to tell, the tinfoil is coming in hot.

Season 4, Episode 1 also had listeners thinking about whether "Westworld" can still draw an audience, what the episode titles might mean, and how much hosts may have evolved in the seven years since Rehoboam fell. 

Gene loses his mind trying to think through the possibility of time behaving differently in The Sublime, and Ash takes cheap shots at Aaron Paul's hair.

Westworld Episode 1 Summary:
A host copy of William manipulates the owner of the Hoover Dam, which now houses a large data vault that contains data he wants from eight years ago, to give it to him for free before killing himself. In New York City, Christina works as a writer at Olympiad Entertainment, creating stories for the non-player characters in video games. She is repeatedly called by a man named Peter, who claims she is controlling his life, and proves it by jumping to his death in front of her. Maeve, living in a remote area, is discovered by hosts that she kills and discovers were sent by William. She drives to California to stop another host from killing Caleb and his new family. Caleb goes with Maeve to protect the next target. Back in New York City, Christina wishes to write a story with a happy ending before retiring, unaware she is being watched by someone resembling Teddy from below.

Ep.105: Westworld - 401 - The Auguries29 Jun 202200:46:48

"Westworld" is back, and a lot has changed in the seven years since we've seen Maeve, Caleb, William and Dolo ... err, Christina. Ash and Gene are here to dive straight into the meaning of the episode title, the changes to the "Westworld" opening credits, and what's new in the world.

This Deep Dive, covering Episode 1, "The Auguries," also explores what William is plotting, what the flies are all about and why Teddy is back. Beyond that, the Shat Crew catalogs the Easter egg parallels Episode 1 used to tie the show back to Season 1 and searches for meaning in them with the help of listeners. We also discuss this seasons CGI, "My Father's Dragon," and Lana Del Rey's "Video Games."

Westworld Episode 1 Summary:
A host copy of William manipulates the owner of the Hoover Dam, which now houses a large data vault that contains data he wants from eight years ago, to give it to him for free before killing himself. In New York City, Christina works as a writer at Olympiad Entertainment, creating stories for the non-player characters in video games. She is repeatedly called by a man named Peter, who claims she is controlling his life, and proves it by jumping to his death in front of her. Maeve, living in a remote area, is discovered by hosts that she kills and discovers were sent by William. She drives to California to stop another host from killing Caleb and his new family. Caleb goes with Maeve to protect the next target. Back in New York City, Christina wishes to write a story with a happy ending before retiring, unaware she is being watched by someone resembling Teddy from below.

Ep.104: Westworld - 401 - Instacast27 Jun 202200:16:59

It's quiet. Too quiet.

"Westworld" Season 4 kicked off with William up to some dastardly deeds, but things quickly became muted as the story seemed to parallel parts Season 1 and parts "The Matrix Resurrections."

We also got some elements of Caleb playing Hawkeye (I've gotta leave my family to protect them) in a season premiere that felt unlike any "Westworld" Episode 1 we've ever seen.  Hear a sneak preview of what we'll be covering in Tuesday's Deep Dive, and help us spot the Easter eggs littered around "The Auguries."
