Episode 65: Raised By Wolves

In this episode of Welcome To The Party Pal, hosts Michael Shields and Chris Thompson examine Raised By Wolves, the science fiction drama television series created by Aaron Guzikowski that premiered on HBO Max on September 3, 2020. The first two episodes were directed by Ridley Scott who also serves as an executive producer for the show. Raised By Wolves centers on two androids —Father and Mother — tasked with raising human children on a planet named Kepler-22b after the Earth was destroyed by a catastrophic war. As the burgeoning colony of humans threatens to be torn apart by religious differences, the androids learn that controlling the beliefs of humans is a trying task. In this episode, Michael and Chris explore the multifarious and often weighty themes present in Raised By Wolves relating to religion and technology, discuss legendary director Ridley Scott's role in the production, piece together the jaw-dropping serpent-inclusive finale of the season, and speculate on what might lie ahead and Season Two — and much, much more.
