On this week’s podcast, Andrew, Dwayne, and Tosin deconstruct Westworld Episode 1.5 “Contrapasso” as they ask, Who is smuggling data out of the park? What will Dolores do now that she’s emerging as her own hero? Will William turn to the dark side? What does Logan’s family want from Westworld? and What will Maeve want from Felix?

Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) joins William (Jimmi Simpson) and Logan (Ben Barnes) on a bounty hunt in the badlands. The Man in Black (Ed Harris), with Lawrence (Clifton Collins, Jr.) in tow, finds a critical clue in his search to unlock the maze. Dr. Ford (Anthony Hopkins) and Theresa (Sidse Babett Knudsen) discuss the future of the park. Maeve (Thandie Newton) is troubled by a recurring vision.

Violent Delights is a weekly podcast where hosts Andrew Sorcini, Dwayne DeFreitas, and Tosin Onafowokan discuss HBO’s Westworld, and the larger questions this ambitious show hopes to tackle.
