Apple renews For All Mankind for season 5 AND announces a Soviet-focused spinoff? @dmoren and I are ready for more visits to Star City's vending machines!

@jsnell @dmoren I assure you, there were no vending machines in the Soviet Union. This is how “soda” was sold and “enjoyed” by the masses: https://youtu.be/hL3o4fjZZ-k?si=ZUNr7HXg1UQKGPJd

Except I’ve never seen one not rusted and banged up within (or past) an inch of its life.

@marinaepelman @dmoren The vending machine in FAM was basically a coffee dispenser
@jsnell @dmoren this was the soviet coffee dispenser
@jsnell @dmoren It's the chairs nearby that worry me. Trust, but verify!

@jsnell @dmoren Well, that’s one way to deal with the growing number of stories to keep up with as the decades go by.

And to come to think of it, maybe this means there will be a closer to 10 year gap between seasons of FAM, so they won’t need to age the actors so much.

I’m also half surprised they haven’t also announced a Moon Miners workplace comedy spin-off. Maybe in a few years’ time.

@consequently @dmoren The spin-off is apparently a prequel, so not really.
@jsnell @dmoren still one of my favourite shows, in no small part due to your great podcast
@jsnell @dmoren Oh! This makes me SO happy!
