Boy, have we got a vacation for you…get on the hovercraft and join us on a trip back to Westworld! Robb joins Viewing Party to talk about the 1973 movie that the HBO series is based on. In this episode, Robb reveals that may have met Snoop Dogg at a gas station, Katie has a pickle kissing incident, and we learn that we’d all visit the same Delos theme park. Plus: robots!
