Helllllllllo, Friends! As 2018 quickly becomes a distant, dystopian memory and we hurtle into 2019, we thought it would be fun to drop this bonus episode of the Hello Friend Mr. Robot podcast. The theme of this podcast is "Zeitgeist review" -- Henry and I took a deep dive around some of the themes found in Season 3 of Mr. Robot and how they relate to current events and society in general.

If anything is true of the season finale for this third momentous season of Mr. Robot, it's that much has been revealed, including the inner workings of what Elliot calls "the invisible hand." Revelations abounded in this episode, whether in the form of steganography, ciphers written on BBQ menus or in terms of true confessions of raw, sometimes brutal intent. Angela continues her climb back to some form of her former self, Phillip Price remains loquacious, but the real action happened with...

Hello, friend! Just when you thought it was safe to go outside, it’s time for another podcast review of Mr. Robot, Season 3 episode 9. We’re so close to the end of this season and we’ve seen Elliot make some bold moves against the Dark Army in an attempt to right what went wrong. White […]

Hello friend, it's time for popcorn-filled podcast recap of Mr. Robot. This time your fearless co-hosts are here to discuss the 8th installment of season three of this incredibly prescient series. This whole episode is about deletion -- deletion of files but also of oneself and things that are unpleasant to us. Imagine if that was possible in real life! If you have a comment or question, please feel free to email us at thehellofriendpodcast [at] gmail [dot] com. No cosplayers were harmed in...

Hello, Friend! Just when you think you can escape the dystopian reality that is 2017, you realize another new episode of Mr. Robot has dropped and you are once again watching an excellent show -- but at the same time, you wonder if this episode might be harkening to a near-future reality. We see some familiar faces as this compelling and yet bleak episode came to a crashing end. Is Irving right? Are all revolutions manufactured to take our attention away from larger world events we have...

Hello, friend. It's Back to the Future over and over and over again as the sixth episode of this third season of Mr. Robot starts with a dramatic flashback and ends with a bang, well 71 of them. Sometimes the best laid plans all go awry. It doesn't matter how much Elliot tries, success as well as happiness seem fleeting for him. If you like what you hear, consider subscribing, rating and reviewing. Time for an “Enchantment Under the Sea Dance” as we slip into podcastland.

Hello, Friend! Do you find it hard to believe that we are already at episode 5 for the third season of Mr. Robot? This episode, called "eps3.4_runtime-err0r.r00", played as a continuous one-shot. However, as in real life, variable -- so many confounding variables -- got in the way to challenge Elliot's plan to roll back the damage he's down by shutting down the Dark Army plan to implement Phase 2. This all sounds confusing but not when you have big brains like Mr. Robot, Elliot, Tyrell,...

Hello, friend! Welcome to our long-awaited podcast review of Mr. Robot, Season 3 Ep 4 – called eps3.3_m3tadatapar2.

Grab a cozy seat -- your favorite comfy chair or place of peace -- and pour yourself a nice hot cup of tea and join us, your fearless co-hosts, for our review of Season 3 Episode 3 of Mr. Robot, ever so cryptically entitled: "Eps3.2legacy.so". We saw a lot of Irving -- the master engineer but not the ultimate puller of strings: He's simply effective, efficient and understands his contribution to the nefarious value chain of the White Rose-led Dark Army. On the tech front, we talk about data...

What if we had the ability to undo things we've done in our lives? The power to go back and fix things that went horribly wrong might be something we all wish we had from time-to-time. In Elliot's case, at least as far as he sees it, he's burdened with having to try to undo a hack so effective that it brought down the world economy. He even goes so far as to take a job at E-Corp. Almost in tandem with the hack that Elliot made happen -- the 5/9 hack -- we have a scenario where China and the...

A bonus episode in anticipation of our full review of eps3.1_undo.gz - s3e2 -- Season 3, Episode 2 of Mr. Robot.

Faster than a red wheelbarrow on fire, careening down a steep hill -- the new season of Mr. Robot started off at a frenetic, red-hot pace and did not slow down the entire time. The series got off to a fast start with the introduction of of a retro-style "Fixer" named Irving (part Columbo, part Harry Tuttle) who seems to be in the employ of the Dark Army and pretty handy with hacking as well as social hacking. Elliot was definitely shot by Tyrell (who is very upset about that fact) and so we...

This is our review of the Mr. Robot "Red Wheelbarrow" book. We start going down a a lot of proverbial rabbit holes as we discuss the Red Wheelbarrow book issued by the creators of Mr. Robot. The book is important for understanding Season 2 as well as Season 3 of the series.

Hold that tiger! All hail the triumphant arrival of King Ezekiel. Episode 2 of season 7 of The Walking Dead -- an AMC show that might go on forever -- was a much more lighthearted story this week. The only thing missing was Carol's cookies -- though we did get a nice blast of Carol, Morgan and we met other members of the Kingdom of Ezekiel. So far, pomegranates and daily cobbler with every meal sounds like a good deal to us. Please subscribe, rate and review us on #iTunes, #Soundcloud,...

Negan has made it to the Walking Dead World Series of villains. The Walking Dead -- an AMC show everyone (except for the Parent's Television Council apparently) can sure get behind . The season seven premiere was a real bloody mess -- filled with many less surprises than usual but lots more gore. We're still trying to process everything that happened. After a little hiatus, we're back with a vengeance. Please subscribe, rate and review us on #iTunes, #Soundcloud, #Stitcher and more....

Mr. Robot S2 E012 | eps2.9_pyth0n-pt2.p7z | H3ll0, Fr1end: A Mr. Robot Podcast. Take a deep breath. Are you ready for our recap of the amazing season 2 finale of Mr. Robot, called eps2.9_pyth0n-pt2.p7z? Phase 2 of the plan was mostly revealed though there are still -- unsurprisingly enough -- a number of unanswered questions. Will Elliot ever be rid of Mr. Robot? What's with all of those energy glitches? Will Dom and Darlene find common ground? How about Joanna and her master plan -- will...

Mr. Robot S2 E011 | eps2.9_pyth0n-pt1.p7z | H3ll0, Fr1end: A Mr. Robot Podcast. Have you ever noticed that Mr. Robot show creator apparently has an affection for fish of all types -- including Qwerty the beloved fish. Tyrell says "The Dark Army told me that Stage 2 is ready. When you see it, you'll be pleased. It worked, Elliot. It's up to us now. Let me show you." Listen here for our recap of this pretty cool episode. Please rate, subscribe and review our podcast so that people can better...

Faster than you can say "condensed milk" -- it's time for our recap of episode 11 of season 2 of Fear the Walking Dead ("Pablo and Jessica"). Maybe we need to rethink this hotel after this episode -- why is their gift shop perpetually closed? Nick proved he is the ultimate survivor, here's hoping Luciana doesn't get duped by his wily narcissistic ways. Like last week, we were also introduced to some new -- and living (for now) -- characters. Better than a noisy soccer game in the middle of a...
