Episode 9: S03E02 "Playtest"
Jackie and Stacy catch up with the recent Black Mirror news, continue to discuss the "Black Universe Theory," and discuss their thoughts on "Playtest" (directed by Dan Trachtenberg). We point out the Easter Eggs in this episode, including references to "Fifteen Million Merits" (The Rolling Road), "White Bear" (the symbol), and "Hated in the Nation (reference to the Granular company). Jackie has a wild theory that the character Selma in "15 Million Merits" is a copy/cookie of Sonja and questions the actress Hannah John-Kamen IMDB (apparently she's slated to appear again in Black Mirror Season 4, Episode 6). What parts of the story was all in Coopers head? And why didn't he call his mom back? These questions and more in this episode of Black Mirror Reflections.
