More bitesize #EFTV coming at you, it would seem!!!
Apple TV+'s latest sci-fi series is coming to a close, So we have our overview of the last eight episodes (we looked at the first two here: https://www.podcaphilia.com/eftv/ep196) for you to digest, and see if you think it holds up to the award winning novella series.
'Murderbot' is written & directed by Chris Weitz & Paul Weitz, based on ‘The Murderbot Diaries’ by Martha Wells. A self-hacking security construct (Alexander Skarsgård) who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable clients (Noma Dumezweni, David Dastmalchian, Sabrina Wu, Tattiawna Jones, Akshay Khanna, Tamara Podemski). Murderbot must hide its free will and complete a dangerous assignment when all it really wants is to be left alone to watch futuristic soap operas and figure out its place in the universe.

From the Smoothie King Center to the Etihad Arena, the UFC touches down in Abu Dhabi for some ABC action!
Just like Robert Whittaker, the pod is looking to bounce back, but we have some killer match-ups across these 12 fights!
So, @ChinCheckPod (ep 259) has got this fight breakdown on lock, you just got open those ears (or eyes) and enjoy our 'UFC on ABC: Whittaker vs. de Ridder' predictions!!!!
'Lord Of The Rings', 'Guardians Of The Galaxy', the 'Before' films, and now 'Holloway vs Poirier' can be added to the small list of incredible trilogies!!!!
Now, the pod had its worst week since 'UFC Vegas 103', BUT, what a night in New Orleans, people, so many finishes, so many fun fights. This was a card truly fitting a legends send off, and a BMF!!!
The joy is, now we get to relive all the memories from 'UFC 318: Holloway vs Poirier 3' with @ChinCheckPod (ep 257)!!!!
Not all trilogies are created equally (did I say 'Highlander'), sometimes the first two parts are tight, but the third is wack ('Terminator'). BUT on Saturday night, a trilogy is going to come to an end in an epic way (I mean, it has to right!?!)!
The UFC heads to New Orleans, Louisiana to showcase 14 fights at the Smoothie King Center, in a card set-up as a farewell to a legend!
With the 'BMF' title on the line, @ChinCheckPod (ep 257) is primed to break all the action down for you, so you're ready for 'UFC 318: Holloway vs. Poirier 3'!!!!
From Nutbush City Limits to Bridgestone Arena Bangers, Tennessee had hits galore Saturday night with the UFC in town!
It was a bit of a Heavyweight showcase, and they definitely came correct. Out of the twelve fights, only four went the distance, and they weren't snooze fests either!
It was a 9 - 3 night for the pod, and @ChinCheckPod (ep 256), is ready to dive back into all the mayhem that was 'UFC on ESPN: Lewis vs Teixeira'!!!!
After a dark week, that felt forever, the UFC goes from the T-Mobile Arena to the Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tennessee for 'UFC on ESPN: Lewis vs. Teixeira'!
The Heavyweights get to shine on this card, with three bouts, one of which is the headliner! That's not it though, as we have fighters looking to save their jobs, move up in the rankings and make potential title contention noise!!!
So, @ChinCheckPod (ep 255) has you covered, as we've broken down the fights, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy 'UFC on ESPN 70'!!!!
You're getting a THIRD part of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ this week, people!!!
