When you're lost in the darkness, look for the pod.

Specifically, the Prestige TV podcast on the Ringer podcast network, where we're breaking down every new episode of HBO's The Last of Us.

On Sunday nights, grab your battery and join Van Lathen and Charles Holmes for an instant reaction to the latest episode.

Then head back to the QZ on Tuesdays for a deep dive with Joanna Robinson and Mallory Ruben.

From character arcs to video game adaptation choices, story themes to needle drops will parse every inch of this court of steps coded universe.

Watch out for mouth tendrils and follow along and Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

There's something dangerous happening out there.

And by the time it becomes big enough for you to act, it'll be too late.

Hang on kid.

Greetings and welcome into the Ringerverse here on the Ringer podcast network.

Joana Robinson.

It's up, Joe.

I would do my Grogo impression, but I don't have a good one.

It's impossible to do a Grogo impression because no one and nothing can capture the magic of Grogo,

which is probably a signal of what we're here to talk about today.

We are mere days away from the premiere of season three of the Mandalorian.

So it is time to rebuild our covert here at the house of art.
