This week, we’re diving deep into Companion (Max), the new sci-fi thriller starring the always-excellent Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid.

But before that, we kick things off with a spoiler-y chat about, Black Mirror Season 7, which just dropped on Netflix (0:07). The vibes between the show and the movie are eerily similar, so we had to rank the new episodes and compare notes on the tech paranoia at the heart of both.

We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (01:27:15).
