Summary

Jo and Rob confront the past to recap the ‘Disclaimer’ finale. They read through listener emails in defense of where the miniseries landed, unpacking the connective thread between most of Cuarón’s works, noting ways in which the ending reframes some of the show’s earlier moments, and much more (2:22). Later, they share their final thoughts on the series as a whole (45:02). Email us!
