Hello Friend - A Mr. Robot Podcast

This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend The end of our elaborate plans The end of ev'rything that stands The end

The enduring theme of heroes and villains comes home to roost in this latest episode of Mr. Robot, called "eXit." As Elliot comes closer to discovering the truth, things start to unravel pretty quickly.

Here's our long-awaited podcast review and recap of Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 10. Enjoy!

Hello, Friends! fsociety made another appearance in this thrilling episode of Mr. Robot. Whiterose has lost her usual edge and is now on the defensive after unlikely characters went in together on the plan to overthrow the top 1% of the 1%. Lots of twists and turns! Hope you enjoy. Feel free to write us at hellofriendpod@protonmail.com if you have any feedback on the show or on our podcast.

Hello, Friend! We're discussing all things Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 8 -- "Request Timeout" -- and this one was extremely fun to watch as we were taken back to 1995 and then to the present day to see how Dominique, Darlene, Elliot, and Krista are dealing with the fateful blows they've been dealt by the Dark Army. Elliot continues to grapple with the things he discovered about his past with Krista, fortunately, by his side. Janice -- the most banal of evildoers -- tries her taxidermy skills on a few of our favorite characters. Who knows how things will turn out in a final season that almost entirely takes place during Christmas. As always, if you have feedback or questions, please get in touch at hellofriendpod [at] proton mail.com. We'll chat soon!

This is our review of Season 4, Episode 7 of Mr. Robot. A lot of interior shots, monologuing and dramatic moments among Mr. Robot, Elliot, Vera and Krista. Dominque and Darlene must be hanging out at the Shake Shack waiting for their turn in the story, hopefully next week. No hacking this week. Maybe next week? Will we ever find out what Whiterose is shipping?

Hello, friend! I want to tell you a story. Nah -- just kidding. We'll leave the storytelling to Vera. If you're here that means you probably want to listen to our podcast recap of "406 Not Acceptable" -- the sixth episode of the final season of Mr. Robot. What can we say about this momentous episode? Not all monsters are into the hacker way and wear hoodies but Elliot sure counts among them. Please listen, rate and review. Most of all, we hope you enjoy this latest installment of our humble podcast.

At long last, we're ready to share with you our recap and review of "405 Method Not Allowed" -- the fifth episode of the final season of Mr. Robot. If silence is golden, this episode was solid gold -- there were only two lines spoken in the entire show tonight. While Phillip Price is sent on a cat and mouse game by Whiterose, Darlene and Elliot pull off the biggest series of hacks that we've seen strung together in succession. What is Vera up to we want to know. More importantly, where did Vera find that fabulous coat? Send your feedback and comments to hellofriendpod@protonmail.com. Be seeing you!

Hello, Friend! If episode 4 of the final season of Mr. Robot taught us anything -- it's that if you think your holiday is going really bad there's always someone else who is having a worse time of it. This episode contained many fairytale like qualities and our heroes in the show seemed more lost and disadvantaged than ever in terms of vanquishing the Dark Army and finding their way.  Not even Tobias the drunk Santa can lift our spirits -- death and uncertainty are in the air. It's all of question of who can hang in there long enough to confound the efforts of the Deus Group and save the world as we know it -- spotty internet connections be darned. If you have feedback on the show or our podcast, please get in touch at hellofriendpod@protonmail.com. Thanks for listening and we'll all talk soon.

As Whiterose might say -- you're just in time for our recap and review of this latest episode of Mr. Robot. We're just a few weeks away from this series finale. In this episode, we were treated to a ton of exposition and the perils and pleasures of online dating on Christmas Eve. We learned part of what drives Whiterose and that we ought to never trust Fernando Vera around chickens or around anyone for that matter. Please have a listen and feel free to get in touch at hellofriendpod@protonmaill.com to send feedback about Mr. Robot or the podcast. We'll be seeing you!

RE-UPLOADED - FULL-LENGTH -------------------------------------- Well, hello there, friend! We're back for our review of Mr. Robot S4E2, called "402 Payment Required." What did you think of this latest installment of the final season of the series? Did you find there were more questions than answers -- or are you starting to see where things are heading? We learned some new information regarding the nature of the so-called "invisible hand" controlling the world stage. We also learned that, as always, the true nature of who and what Elliot is seems difficult to determine. Darlene, Dominique, Phillip Price all appear to be playing their own roles in reference either helping or hindering the Dark Army -- or a smattering of both. Even Frosty the Snowman made an appearance. Janice is the creepiest taxidermist around, and that's saying something. Please listen, rate and review this podcast. Please feel free to write us at hellofriendpod@protonmail.com if you have any feedback on the series or the podcast.

Greetings and salutations! It's been a while. We sure have missed you. Join us, your fearless co-hosts, as we recap the happenings and goings on in "401 Unauthorized" -- the season 4 premiere of Mr. Robot. This is the final season and the general consensus is that episode 1 of season 4 had a distinctly different feel in comparison to previous seasons. One thing is for certain: this first episode set the chess pieces for the rest of the series. We encounter many familiar faces, Elliot, Angela, Darlene, Mr. Robot, White Rose, and that every-so annoying Phillip Price. There were also a few surprising appearances, too, whether you're talking about Emmy Rossum as one of the carolers, Jake Busey as the slimy Freddie Lomax, and show creator Sam Esmail himself as a thug intent on scaring the heck out of Elliot (and us). All good stuff. Please listen to our podcast and let us know what you think about the show: hellofriendpod [at] protonmail [dot] com.

Helllllllllo, Friends! As 2018 quickly becomes a distant, dystopian memory and we hurtle into 2019, we thought it would be fun to drop this bonus episode of the Hello Friend Mr. Robot podcast. The theme of this podcast is “Zeitgeist review” — Henry and I took a deep dive around some of the themes found in Season 3 of Mr. Robot and how they relate to current events and society in general. We will drop at least one more episode as we head into Season 4, which is probably going to be its final season, premiering some time in 2019. If you have any feedback on the show or on the podcast, please contact us at thehellofriendpodcast@gmail.com. This may be no Bohemian Rhapsody but we still hope you enjoy this episode. Thanks for listening!

Hello, friend! Just when you thought it was safe to go outside, it’s time for another podcast review of Mr. Robot, Season 3 episode 9. We’re so close to the end of this season and we’ve seen Elliot make some bold moves against the Dark Army in an attempt to right what went wrong. White Rose gets some honesty from her assistant and apparent paramour Grant. Now that Tyrell is the new E-Corp CTO, does that mean he’s poised to take over the whole corporation eventually? What does the book Lolita have to do with this story and will Angela ever recover?

Hello friend, it’s time for popcorn-filled podcast recap of Mr. Robot. This time your fearless co-hosts are here to discuss the 8th installment of season three of this incredibly prescient series. This whole episode is about deletion — deletion of files but also of oneself and things that are unpleasant to us.  Imagine if that was possible in real life! If you have a comment or question, please feel free to email us at thehellofriendpodcast [at] gmail [dot] com. No cosplayers were harmed in the recording of this episode!

Hello, Friend! Just when you think you can escape the dystopian reality that is 2017, you realize another new episode of Mr. Robot has dropped and you are once again watching an excellent show — but at the same time, you wonder if this episode might be harkening to a near-future reality. We see some familiar faces as this compelling and yet bleak episode came to a crashing end. Is Irving right? Are all revolutions manufactured to take our attention away from larger world events we have little insight into and ability to control? One thing is for sure, Fredrick and Tanya will never find out either way.

Hello, friend. It’s Back to the Future over and over and over again as the sixth episode of this third season of Mr. Robot starts with a dramatic flashback and ends with a bang, well 71 of them. Sometimes the best laid plans all go awry. It doesn’t matter how much Elliot tries, success as well as happiness seem fleeting for him. If you like what you hear, consider subscribing, rating and reviewing. Time for an “Enchantment Under the Sea Dance” as we slip into podcastland.  

Hello, Friend! Do you find it hard to believe that we are already at episode 5 for the third season of Mr. Robot? This episode, called “eps3.4_runtime-err0r.r00”, played as a continuous one-shot. However, as in real life, variable — so many confounding variables — got in the way to challenge Elliot’s plan to roll back the damage he’s done by shutting down the Dark Army plan to implement Phase 2. This all sounds confusing but not when you have big brains like Mr. Robot, Elliot, Tyrell, White Rose, Philip Price, Angela and Darlene all working in one way  or another to advance various competing and sometimes overlapping interests. If you like what you hear, please think about rating and reviewing this episode. Thank you!

Hello, friend! Welcome to our long-awaited podcast review of Mr. Robot, Season 3 Ep 4 – called eps3.3_m3tadatapar2.

Grab a cozy seat — your favorite comfy chair or place of peace — and pour yourself a nice hot cup of tea and join us, your fearless co-hosts, for our review of Season 3 Episode 3 of Mr. Robot, ever so cryptically entitled “Eps3.2legacy.so” We saw a lot of Irving — the master engineer but not the ultimate puller of strings: He’s simply effective, efficient and understands his contribution to the nefarious value chain of the White Rose-led Dark Army. On the tech front, we talk about data sets, analytics, AI and how data about us and our lives can be used to manipulate us, our technology and even society as a whole!
