  • Seaon 2 is all there is

    This is the podcast for season 2. The first episode tells you to listen to the season 1 podcast... But not how to access it. Definitely not on tge apple podcatcher, having checked, but perhaps you can get back episodes on the wayback machine or something. So it is a bit disjointed, but otherwise a good show review.

  • What It Means to be Marreid

    Wonderful episode, both the show and the podcast. Seeing Joel and Jennifer interviewed, having the interviewers interviewed, I really enjoyed that. Standout moment, Jennifer’s comments on exploring marriage and all the possibilities, messiness and complications the show provides.

  • Where was season 1?

    My question is really a ‘wish there had been’ sort. Season 2 is very different and also touching. Ep 5 deserves Emmy’s all around, so quiet and effecting, and the music raises the bar too.

  • Episode 5 Twist Off

    I went to University of Chicago, and all of the shimmering layers of dork come through here. I always love the Hyde Park heart walk, and the literature/cannon/physics of tracking back to real life- like a Crichton book, but here we are tracking back through literature to humanity. I do want to say listening after the episode was a shock, because it never occurred to me that Jason 24 made it home. Instead, I assumed like all the other tries, thus Jason had stumbled into an alt world with a dead... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2E8Full:The Basic Oneness of Everything (With Margo Martindale)
Q: What made Chicago the perfect background for Dark Matter?
Blake Crouch says the novel was set in Chicago after he developed the idea there, and that the city's tough, caring character was integral to the show's setting.
S2E8Full:The Basic Oneness of Everything (With Margo Martindale)
Q: How did you approach Laurel?
Margo Martindale describes Laurel as lonely and fearful, drawing on feelings she understands herself. She says the writing made the role easy to step into and that Laurel's practical instinct is to help people.
S2E9Full:How to Build the Box (With Oakes Fegley)
Q: When you were doing all of this writing for all of these different Amandas and Jasons and Ryans and Blairs, how did you organize everything?
Blake Crouch described brainstorming ideas, assigning character-specific colors to cards, and arranging the cards as a visual puzzle to shape the season's events and episodes.
S2E9Full:How to Build the Box (With Oakes Fegley)
Q: How did you go about identifying with the character this way?
Oakes Fegley said he tried to understand Charlie's isolation and frustration as a young person repeatedly pulled away from his life, friends, and family while trying to grow up and find himself.
S2E7Full:The Pyramid (With Amanda Brugel)
Q: Thank you for the invitation. Congratulations on the show. How do you capture and what is the trick to getting 30 Joel Edgertons on screen at the same time versus two or three at a time?
We use a combination of split screens, face replacements only when necessary, and long lens work to mimic multiple versions of a character onscreen; it's time-consuming and requires precise choreography to preserve performance and storytelling, especially with someone as physically distinctive as Joel Edgerton.
