(Because you <em>know</em> it is.)</p> <p>After that we set out to recap the "Three Robots" episode of <em>Love, Death + Robots </em>season 3, and maybe discuss a couple episodes of the deliciously gorgeous <em>Arcane.</em> And then we promptly veered off into tangents about <em>World War Z</em>, layoffs, tech billionaires, Jeff Smith, surviving the apocalypse with a desk job, that series of Dinotopia books from the 90s, and <em>Dr. Strangelove.</em> Nobody is surprised.</p> <p>Anyway, giant spoiler warnings for episodes 195 and 196 of Lore Olympus, episodes 3 and 4 of <em>Arcane, </em>the Three Robots episodes of <em>Love Death + Robots,</em> and the ending to <em>Dr. Strangelove.</em></p> <p>This week's outro is a clip from <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/nul-tiel-records/krautrock/electrolyte-1/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" title="Electrolyte">Electrolyte</a> by Nul Tiel Records.</p> <p>James Gurney's prints of his <a href="https://jamesgurney.com/collections/prints" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" title="Dinotopia artwork">Dinotopia artwork</a> are always worth a look. https://jamesgurney.com/collections/prints</p> <p>Here's Jeff Smith's tweet about the <a href="https://twitter.com/jeffsmithsbone/status/1517640535233769472?s=20&amp;t=_M0gBWDWhFnkDZ6WLbAEzw" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" title="Bone cartoon not working out.">Bone cartoon not working out.</a> Again.
