TomHOST
But then they- they also, like, clock this, the last movie he picks up, The Last Strike, which I don't know if that's gonna kinda come back, if there's an Easter egg somewhere in there because there's also, like, a poster in this area for it as well.
TomHOST
I'm sure there's maybe some- some more, uh, Blake Crouch kind of, uh, Easter eggs that we kinda saw in the- the first episode with the marquee.
TomHOST
Uh, but yeah, I was, I was confused as to why they'd have these, quote-unquote, "modern-ish" movies, but then not, uh, the Billie Eilish or Tyler, the Creator, whatever else he referenced.
JulianHOST
Yeah, I agree.
Jason CalacanisHOST
It was an FBI agent with a machine gun.
Jason CalacanisHOST
So imagine a guy in a suit like Sicario, like wearing a perfect suit, but having a massive automatic rifle.
Jason CalacanisHOST
And I came out and I said, what's the latest? He goes, we're under attack.
Jason CalacanisHOST
They bombed the Pentagon.

Lon HarrisHOST
They would be getting very serious about what do we do to unwind this thing we've created? Like Frankenstein wasn't like, well, maybe I shouldn't have created a monster.
Lon HarrisHOST
I'll consider maybe not making another monster.
Lon HarrisHOST
He like tried to burn the guy down and ran away.
Lon HarrisHOST
You know, like they're not acting like people who are scared of their invention.
Alan from EnglandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Alan from England here with feedback mostly about Silo.
Alan from EnglandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I've just read, well, listened to the audiobooks of a series by Blake Crouch, He of Dark Matter, which is impending, about a community in a place called Wayward Pines.
Alan from EnglandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It has some similarities with some things we have seen.
Alan from EnglandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I won't go further than that, in case you're into it, but I thought it was really great, and the ending of the third book was something I did not see coming, despite it being advertised extremely heavily.
speaker_4HOST
We have two fantastic honorable mentions that perfectly illustrate this structural world building.
speaker_4HOST
First is Dark Matter, the 2024 Apple TV series based on the incredibly popular novel by Blake Crouch.
speaker_3HOST
Now, if you read Blake Crouch, you know he writes thrillers that just do not let you
speaker_4HOST
breathe.
speaker_3HOST
The novel Dark Matter moves at such a relentless breakneck pace that these incredibly complex, mind-bending ideas about the multiverse and quantum superposition essentially blur past you.
MadelineHOST
this book is called Dark Matter.
MadelineHOST
It's written by an author named Blake Crouch.
MadelineHOST
It was recommended to me by our friend Rose.
MadelineHOST
Uh, I quite enjoyed the book.
KellyHOST
No, I have heard of it though.
KateHOST
But I did read the book from Blake Crouch, like, it's really good.
KateHOST
It's got Jennifer Connelly in it, who is also-
KellyHOST
Mm
KateHOST
No, you're fine.
KateHOST
Anyway, Dark Matter was really good.
KateHOST
They're gonna make a bunch of other Blake Crouch movies and series and stuff.
KateHOST
So Shonda Rhimes picked up one of them, which is-
Nick JaegerHOST
And also, listeners, you were probably expecting the finale episode of Silo to be released today, but due to some scheduling conflicts, that's going to be released tomorrow.
Nick JaegerHOST
And so today you get to listen to our take on on Season 2, Episode 2 of Dark Matter, entitled A Perfect World, written by Blake Crouch and Jacqueline Benzekeri and directed by Gwyneth Porter-P.
Nick JaegerHOST
As usual, I'll begin with a brief recap of the episode and then we'll get on with it.
Nick JaegerHOST
A Perfect World.
TomHOST
exactly so i'm with you still had fun still a good show but uh yeah some kind of maybe more set up in this specific specific episode
JulianHOST
i do think it's funny we can spend 10 minutes with the dessin family trying to find side gigs that are cash only and then we yada yada late and traveling between nuclear world war and the one that has like the famine that's killing everyone and so it is funny what the show decides to spend its time with but I did want to note from the top that when you watch the credits in the beginning, this episode was written partially by Blake Crouch, who is the author of the books.
JulianHOST
And as we pointed out last pod, we are past the initial book and what he wrote.
JulianHOST
So him being involved in the show is very interesting because obviously he had more ideas and something that he wanted to build out.
KristenHOST
it's a very impressive debut.
KristenHOST
It kind of reminds me of like some Blake Crouch books that I've read actually.
KristenHOST
Like it's giving the same kind of like I don't know.
KristenHOST
Mystery vibe.
KristenHOST
And
KristenHOST
I feel like you would be totally into it.
KristenHOST
Just read Blake Crouch's
KristenHOST
book.
