In Episode 34 a farmer and intelligent rats face off, but who is the real villain?
When Farmer Mason discovers that the rats living in his barn and stealing his wheat have evolved intelligence, he turns to an extermination company to deal with the problem. They install several laser turrets, which starts a full-on war, but the rodents take the first round by destroying the equipment. Mason then upgrades, purchasing a literal rat-killing scorpion machine. Its excessively violent methods make Mason uneasy however, and during the final battle within the barn, Mason has a change of heart, destroying the scorpion before it can wipe out the rest of the rats. The act seals a new truce between Mason and the rats, who offer Mason a tiny flask of the moonshine they’ve been brewing with his wheat.

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!
