# Black Mirror **URL:** **By** Paul Matzko, Peter Suderman, Landry Ayres, Natalie Dowzicky **Published:** November 6, 2019 --- Welcome to Pop \& Locke! For our first episode we welcome Peter Suderman and Paul Matzko to discuss the many Black Mirror dystopias. On the show today is Peter Suderman and Paul Matzko with our hosts, Natalie Dowzicky \& Landry Ayres. Throughout this episode they discuss five distinct Black Mirror episodes and what is or _is not_ scary about the dystopian-thriller. One common theme is that the creators of Black Mirror seem to assume the worst will happen, when many of the technologies introduced in this world could have positive effects as well.
