5.1: The Cruel, Elaborate Trick (Loki S1E01)

Take a ticket! This week, host TK is joined by fellow teacher and return-guest Rob Carreira to discuss the big ideas of episode 1 of Loki, “Glorious Purpose.” We talk about how the premiere expertly immerses the audience into a new yet familiar world in which we watch one of our favorite characters be thrown into an entirely new context that calls into question everything he thinks he knows about himself. There is a rich identity story to analyze here. Plus, time travel shenanigans!
