We Was Watching: An Apple TV Pluribus Podcast

This episode is where the hivemind stops being theoretical and starts handing out live grenades. In Pluribus Episode 3 (“Close Only Counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades”), Carol tests the boundaries of her immunity — and the show’s premise — with a shopping list of weapons, sarcasm, and grief-fueled defiance.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:Carol’s grenade wish gets granted — and she nearly takes out ZosiaThe “wish fulfillment” rules of the hivemind start to crack (literally)Carol’s Norwegian ice hotel flashback: goofy setup, clunky payoffThat restocked Whole Foods sequence: instant oat milk, max satireThe nuke-baiting convo with a DHL guy that’s straight out of Dr. StrangeloveCarol’s suicide-by-grenade metaphor — and what it says about the rules of this worldThe logic gaps: why hasn’t the hivemind dismantled all WMDs? Who’s actually in charge?Is Helen being used for emotional blackmail from beyond the grave?Pluribus continues to be bold, messy, and full of potential — but Episode 3 may be its most narratively shaky yet. Still, Rhea Seehorn carries every frame, and Brandon & Chanel are here for the existential breakdowns, metaphysical red flags, and Apple TV's weirdest sci-fi swings.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Pluribus #RheaSeehorn #VinceGilligan #AppleTV #SciFiTV #Hivemind #WeaponWishList #CarolSturko #Zosia #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #GrenadeScene #HelenFlashback #IceHotelDramaWe Was Watching

We’ve officially entered the weird zone. In Episode 5 of The Chair Company, “I Won. Zoom In.,” Ron and Mike take a road trip into the sketch-comedy Twilight Zone, and it might be the best (and most chaotic) episode yet.

With the introduction of the enigmatic Pirate Lady and the existence of 12 'immunes,' debates around free will and collective consciousness escalate. Tensions rise as moral dilemmas unfold, leading to dramatic implications for humanity.

Off-kilter, unhinged, and painfully hilarious — HBO’s The Chair Company is everything we hoped it would be. In Episode 1, “Life Goes By Too F**king Fast, It Really Does,” we meet Ron Trosper, a fragile project manager whose life starts to spiral after a chair collapses mid-presentation. But what starts as slapstick embarrassment quickly turns into a full-blown corporate thriller — or maybe just a mental breakdown in real-time.Brandon & Chanel dive into:Ron’s anxiety-riddled descent from mall project lead to potential whistleblowerThe weirdly intense investigation into chair manufacturer TeccaA brutal necklace-ripping HR incidentAccidental upskirting, hiding in offices, and a wheelbarrow subplot for the agesThe show’s surprisingly sharp satire of masculinity, stress culture, and internalized shameIs there a conspiracy? Or is Ron just unwell? Either way, The Chair Company blends Tim Robinson’s sketch-comedy energy with serialized storytelling and Enemy of the State visual cues. It's off the rails in the best way — and Brandon & Chanel are here for every awkward, chaotic, HR-violating moment.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCylyV4QUrDQWJOFyb?si=4df72d17cc5d4fae🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-was-watching-podcast/id1640612856📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatching?sub_confirmation=1
