Tune in as Arthur’s pal Anna hops back into their guest seat for a deep dive into Upload, the Prime Video series that follows a technologically advanced near-future in which people have figured out a way to, well, upload their consciousness into a digital afterlife. Running for three seasons since 2020, this show, which feels reminiscent of The Good Place, has been renewed for a fourth and final season. Talking points for today’s episode include people’s excessive fixation on Claudia Sulewski supposedly resembling Billie Eilish, the Likable Bro charisma that helps a star like Robbie Amell offset his worrisome filmography, Upload’s thought-provoking lens on capitalism (albeit a lens that’s clearly provided by liberals), and Arthur’s vehement defense of the Nathan/Nora chemistry.
Created by Greg Daniels, Upload stars Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, Allegra Edwards, Zainab Johnson, Kevin Bigley, Andrea Rosen, Owen Daniels, William B. Davis, Josh Banday, Jessica Tuck, Chris Williams, Elizabeth Bowen, Rhys Slack, Jordan Johnson-Hinds, Paulo Costanzo, Barclay Hope, Mackenzie Cardwell, Peter James Smith, Bassem Youssef, Jeanine Mason, Matt Ward, Chloe Coleman, and Hiro Kanagawa.
