Tread Perilously is a podcast in which hosts Erik Amaya and author Justin Robinson watch the “worst” episodes of popular TV shows, attempting to determine if they would continue to watch the series based on the most off-key moments.
This Week: Upload‘s “Strawberry”
Tread Perilously‘s Cornucopia of Sci-Fi continues with an episode of Upload called “Strawberry.”
Nathan and Nora are still on the road returning consciousnesses of the departed to their families. Their latest stop brings them to a farm where pork and cheese are produced. Note the wording. While the parents of the departed prove folksy and nice, their world is anything but. Back in the “Afterlife,” Ingrid realizes the Nathan she’s seeing is not the genuine person … even if it gives her another advantage on Tinsley. Choak also realizes there are two Nathans, but will he be able to put all the pieces together?
Justin is alerted to another secret show. He also rallies against the modern meaning of “content.” Star Robbie Amell proves to be unmemorable. Erik refuses to accept another member of the cast as anything other than his most memorable role. His criticism of The Disaster Artist adaptation also comes up. Justin champions Andor again. A different league of guest actors are suggested for the farmers. Erik forgets if a Baldwin passed away. Fantasyland rides become important. The pair try to figure out how pet names emerge. A new marketing angle is found. Justin gets completely lost in the episode and learns about the “Afterlife” live.
