It’s tailored from Hugh Howey’s Wool guide collection. One of them is named Silo, which the books are nice too. The present is incredible, and I really feel prefer it received buried in Apple TV… Is it Apple TV+ or Apple TV?

Michael Calore: Apple TV+.

Lauren Goode: Apple TV+. Yeah. Just add a plus to all the pieces now in the event that they’re charging you $9 a month or extra for it, it is simply plus.

Kate Knibbs: Yeah, Apple TV+ has this little assortment of status sci-fi, and quite a lot of it is very well accomplished, and it is simply not taking off. I feel it deserves to, and Silo is so good, and I feel folks ought to watch that too.

Michael Calore: Awesome. And so it got here out final yr. Are they doing one other season quickly or?

Kate Knibbs: I do not know. There’s a number of materials that they may very well be working from. I hope they’re doing one other season if they do not, although it positively stands alone as a miniseries, and it is about individuals who stay on this underground silo someday sooner or later, and issues will not be what they seem, and it is wonderful. Yeah, heartily advocate.

Lauren Goode: I hear that for those who get an Apple Vision Pro and you place it in your face, Tim Cook seems and tells you what their subsequent season’s lineup goes to be.

Lauren Goode: Yeah, they’re by no means utilizing Signal. They’re at all times like bloop and blue messages once they message folks in this system.

Michael Calore: I’m sorry. It’s very annoying. It’s very annoying to think about a world the place three quarters of the planet is just not utilizing Android. Kate, what is the standing of Apple units within the close to future on Silo?

Kate Knibbs: I do not assume they’ve any, however that is as a result of they have been within the Silo for a very very long time I feel. I’m not positive concerning the precise timeline, however I feel they went within the Silo earlier than Tim even took the reins. They would possibly’ve been down there… I do not know. They have actually old fashioned 90s desktops in silo. There’s no blue bubbles to fret about.

Michael Calore: I’ll watch it. Thank you for the advice. Lauren, what’s your suggestion?

Lauren Goode: Despite my throwing shade at you earlier for binge-watching, mine is a binge-watch, and there is a little story behind this that is associated to 3 Body Problem. So listeners ought to know that Netflix gave us all early entry to 3 Body Problem, and we needed to log into our Netflix accounts and enter a pin code as a result of we needed to be permitted to get these digital screeners. And over the weekend, I went to go watch 3 Body Problem and realized I did not have the pin code. So I emailed Netflix on a Sunday and simply was like, “Hey, I am really sorry, but I don’t think I have this pin code, and so I can’t watch this.” It took all of them of 4 minutes to get again to me.
