Beacon 23: S1-E1&2 – Double-premiere explained

With no future book spoilers, book-reader Elysia and show-only Luke dig into the first two episodes of Beacon 23, the new space-centric sci-fi on MGM+ starring Lena Heady and Stephan James, adapted from the Book by Hugh Howey. Find out why the title of the pilot, "Corbenic," is apt, why the quantum tunneler is low-key the coolest tech on the show, and which couple we're really shipping.

And then see you back in this feed to check in on episodes 3-5!
