Episode #12 - Westworld and Noughts + Crosses - a podcast by For Now We See

And we're back for our first proper episode since the COVID-19 lockdown began.

In the news, basically EVERYTHING IS CANCELLED--but there's new stuff on streaming, and big earners in Hollywood are forgoing their salaries.

We then have a spoiler-free discussion about Westworld (Sky/HBO/NowTV) - a show with big themes of artificial intelligence, humanity, and entertainment. Season 3 started a few weeks ago, but we mainly discuss Seasons 1-2.

Then we review (spoiler-free) the BBC's recent adaptation of Malorie Blackman's Noughts + Crosses, discussing race, power, and empire, and how Christians can think about all of them.
