    #265: Pluribus Episodes 7-9 (Finale Review)
    Dec 28 2025
    Craig Elsten and Chris Reed are back with the penultimate podcast of 2025, as they take on the final three episodes of the first season of Pluribus, on AppleTV. This is one of the most thought-provoking series of the year, and Craig and Chris spend a large portion of the show analyzing the key themes we've learned about over the course of the season, especially as we learn more about The Others, how they operate and what they are ultimately on Earth to do. One of the best shows of the year! Email us at: crossingstreamstvpodcast@gmail.com with your thoughts!
