World Dispatch: Hell is empty and all the devils are creating Westworld fan theories

Paris Martineau talks to the people behind the avatars on r/westworld.

Every Monday through Thursday, The Outline World Dispatch brings you stories about Power, Culture, and the Future. We guarantee you’ll feel smarter and more hydrated.

HBO’s Westworld is coming back for season two, and we’re stoked. To celebrate, we’re bringing you a special episode of the Dispatch, focused on the fan theories that pop up all over the internet.

First, we prevented Future editor Casey Johnston from watching the season two trailer until this very moment to get her reactions on tape. Be prepared for a lot of “oh my god” and “what the hell.” Then, staff writer Paris Martineau introduces us to the most popular users on the subreddit, r/westworld, and we explore their theories for season two.

Give it a listen, and let us know what you think on Twitter. We’re @OutlineDispatch . If you enjoyed today’s episode, we have another Outline show called Out West where we discuss your fan theories, and share our own. Find it wherever you listen to podcasts.
