[S13E4] Psycho-Pass, eps. 17–22

Note: In support of the ongoing strikes in Hollywood and the guidance released by SAG-AFTRA regarding rewatch and companion podcasts, we have decided to postpone coverage of Psycho-Pass: The Movie until the strike resolves. We will be back in two weeks with the Question Bucket for Psycho-Pass instead. If you have questions for us, please email them in this week. Thank you!
