Rick dad joke memes aside, we still get so choked up at this episode. Goodbye to Lori and to T-Dog. You went out in an intense, iconic, rollercoaster of an episode.

While Lucy and Jason are on vacay, in a very special episode of The 'Cast of Us the characters from Welcome to the Apocalypse (Podcastica's improv show) have taken over! They've gotten their hands on the first episode of the Walking Dead and are seeing how it compares to their experience in the apocalypse, what lessons they can take from the show, and and who's hospital gown was more revealing.  Links: Welcome to the Apocalypse...

It’s the Governor! Both Lucy and I were surprised at how enjoyable it was to revisit this character. And we had fun trying to imagine whether we’d have been more like Andrea in this situation (intrigued and impressed with the Governor and Woodbury) or like Michonne (suspicious as f#$k).  Links: Penitentia trailer (starring Frost actor Glenn Stanton): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm2LeDJlN3U Jason interviews Dallas Roberts (Milton):...

Machete to the face! Another great S3 episode, and we’re happy to be joined by longtime listener and friend (and Rick Grimes superfan) Gemma Hall!

It’s a favorite episode, especially remembered for that badass no-dialog opening where they’re killing zeds like a well-oiled team. But we noticed a lot of different ways this episode starts to feel more like what The Walking Dead became at its peak, tonally, with characterizations, and in other little ways. It’s a great one.  Links: Join Lucy, Jason, Karen, Peter, and David for drinks in Glasgow! Wed July 17 at The Dram https://www.facebook.com/events/1534131824143933/Zedhead T-Shirts...

And we come to the end of season 2…. and Hershel’s farm… and Rick’s sanity? And of course this is such a special episode, in part because it’s a fantastic season finale, but most of all for me (Jason) because I got to be a zed in it! And Lucy and I are SO pleased to be joined by Gracie Lou of Under the Comic Covers, who helped me get on the show and who was right there with me over four thrilling nights of filming. So join us as we talk through this season 2 finale and reminisce about our...

Whatever your thoughts are about Shane, we think he went out in an amazing episode of the show. Dramatic and moody and impactful. We’re stoked to be joined by my friend Aaron Peterson of The Hollywood Outsider to talk it out.

Jason and guest cohosts Randy and Sam all hold Mad Max: Fury Road as one of the best action movies ever (it’s Jason’s all-time favorite). So we were all excited for the sequel, Furiosa. Did it live up to Fury Road? No, but it was thrilling, funny, artful, imaginative, brutal, thought-provoking, well-acted, visually stunning, and yes, had some problems too.  Links: Check out Randy on the zombie improv podcast, Welcome to the Apocalypse:...

It’s the “Randall dilemma” episode, and I (Jason) was curious to know whether it would hit the same as it did 12 years ago. You’ll have to listen to find out.  Links: Sarah Wayne Callies on Real Ones with Jon Bernthal: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sarah-wayne-callies-actor/id1610616073?i=1000576428511The Walking Dead Bad Lip Reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR4lLJu_-wE Next up: TWD S2E12 “Better Angels”!

Yech, the one where Andrea leaves suicidal Beth alone with a knife after promising Maggie she’d keep watch over her, and Lori argues that Andrea should stick with “women’s work”. A surprisingly good episode all things considered :P And we’re thrilled to be joined this week by Archmaester Renny, cohost of Dragon ‘Cast.   Check out Renny’s coverage of House of the Dragon on Dragon ‘Cast: https://podcastica.com/podcast/dragon-cast  Next up: TWD S2E11 “Judge, Jury, Executioner”!

Back to the rewatch! This is the first ep with Glen Mazzara as showrunner, and I remember being worried whether the show would still be good after Darabont left, and then being relieved that it was great. But do we still feel that way….?  Announcement: Karen, David, and I (Jason) are excited to be headed to Scotland this summer to hang out with Lucy and Peter, and we’d love to meet any of you guys who are in the area or can get there. We’ll be hanging out at an as-yet-to-be-determined pub in...

This ep we’re covering the new Alex Garland dystopian action movie, Civil War, in theaters now. On one hand this movie is right up this podcast’s alley: it feels post-apocalyptic and it’s a harrowing, thought-provoking story with great characters, thrilling sequences, and a lot of heart. On the other hand, it hits so close to home in the most disturbing way, and it provokes political discussion that might not be everyone’s cup of tea. We usually avoid talking politics on the podcast. I like...

Here’s part two of your feedback for the finale of The Ones Who Live. I don’t know if I’ve ever podcasted on something that hit emotional beats so well and so intensely like this while asking us to swallow some pretty ridiculous logistical plot points, and that made for some varied and passionate feedback from you guys :) We love it! Next up: Lucy’s on break for awhile (we’ll be getting back to the rewatch in early May), so Jason and guests will be covering the new Alex Garland movie Civil...

All said and done, feelings were mixed about The Ones Who Live, often from the same person, which made for some interesting feedback. More of you than ever wanted to talk about it (which is awesome) so we’re splitting the feedback up into two parts.

As is the way with TWD sometimes, this episode made us care a little more about a character before killing her off! A fitting end though, and some great nostalgia in this ep with the return of Gabriel, and some wonderful lightness with Rick and Michonne pretty much on a post-apocalyptic honeymoon. :) Next up: Listener feedback for TWD: The Ones Who Live S1E5 “Become”.

Wow, what an outstanding episode Danai Gurira wrote, and also brilliantly performed with Andrew Lincoln. Intimate, emotional, surprising, and triumphant.

Wow, we did not see that coming. As Lucy said, Rick is a dick. :) We had somewhat different takes on what he did though, and hope you enjoy the discussion.  Are you in the Boston area?
