Contrapasso Analysis
Welcome to Beyond Westworld, and boy do we have a podcast for you…
In Pariah, Dolores as well as the audience begin to question if there is more than one of everything as she continues to have echoes of the past haunting her both in and outside of town. Meanwhile the Man In Black continues to drag Lawrence to his last breath as he drains him of his fluids in order to reboot Teddy on his quest for the maze. It works since Teddy and Lawrence are from the same bloodline. Ford and the Man In Black cross paths for an interesting conversation. As the Man In Black looks to gut Ford, there is no fear since Ford is always safe when one of his guardian hosts are around. After Maeve realizes her reality is nothing as it seems she wakes up to chat with Felix, a bird loving butcher turned coder. Elsewhere Elsie unearthed a clue inside of the stargazing host that has us asking, how many 3D-printed thread pulls does it take to get to the center of a satellite receiver? The world may never know.
This week, Aaron and Troy suffer the pain of Contrapasso as they attempt to reclaim their souls after the latest mind-bender of an episode from HBO’s instant hit, Westworld.

About HBO’s Westworld
In 1973, celebrated author and filmmaker Michael Crichton released Westworld, his visionary idea of what a theme park could be as human-looking androids fulfilled our every desire. Four decades later, creators Jonathan and Lisa Joy Nolan are taking the concept to the next evolutionary step as Westworld can now be ‘fleshed’ out as a deeper concept that explores the vast array of potential and consequence from such advanced technology. The one-hour drama series is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, it explores a world in which every human appetite can live without limits, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.
The cast of the series includes Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Harris, Anthony Hopkins, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, James Marsden, Tessa Thompson, and more.
