Episode 13: S03E06 "Hated in the Nation"
In this episode, we discuss current Black Mirror news, such as possible new episode theme, directors, and music releases. Jackie has a wild theory that Men Against Fire was a reaction to the events of Hated in the Nation and we spend some time discussing internet trolling.
Easter Eggs:
There are 3 different news scrolls that reference Men Against Fire, Playtest, White Christmas, Nosedive, and White Bear
Blue Colson previously worked in computer forensics on the Rannoch Case (White Bear).
Trending Hashtags in various social media montages included "Harlech Shadows V (Playtest), #FREETHEWHITEBEARONE (White Bear), and "Micheal Callow" (National Anthem).
Finally, Jackie is really reaching when she tries to connect the "V" shape on the cover of "Teeth of Consequences" to the V shaped logo used on uniforms, equipment, and flags in Men Against Fire"
Also, more tweets from Erica McEwan (as seen in numerous episodes)
