In Episode 22 we cover the grisly story of a future where the human population is tightly controlled, and unregistered kids are dealt with by… the Pop Squad.
“Pop Squad” envisions a dystopian future in which humanity has achieved eternal youth. But the trade-off is that the population must be tightly controlled, so special law enforcement groups exist to track down illegitimate children and ‘handle’ them. The job is starting to take its toll on Detective Briggs and when he finds a woman living in an abandoned home with her unregistered daughter, he honestly questions her about her choices and why she made them. As he tries to leave the pair alive in their home, he encounters his partner and suddenly must make a choice between following the rules or trying to protect the family a little while longer.

With its diversity of thought-provoking themes and artwork styles, Netflix’s animated adult anthology series LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS is just begging for detailed discussion, so the Love, Death and Robots Plus podcast was started to do exactly that! Join us as we dig in each week to discover what we liked as well as what we didn’t like about a given LD+R episode. We’ll focus on the narrative and story elements, as well as the art styles, the studios that produced them, and the original short stories from which the episodes were born. There’s something for everyone in Love, Death & Robots and we hope our podcast discussions will be the same!
