It’s the end of season one with this rather strange episode in the history of TWD, with themes of sexual assault and suicide in this weirdly super-high-tech facility with the lone scientist who seems to know more about the ZA than anyone. Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it. Just send them to thecastofus.com. They’ll thank you for it :)If you’re in a Walking Dead Facebook group (or any other WD group), let them know too! I’d think...

It’s the aftermath of the zombie attack on camp, and the group is shaken and has a bunch of decisions to make, like weather to kill Jim just because he was bitten, whether to go to an army base or the CDC, and in Shane’s case, whether to shoot his best friend so he can have a shot with his wife. What a stand up guy. Glad to be joined by Peter this week to help Lucy and me talk it out! Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it. Just send...

If you’re a fan of Fear the Walking Dead, well… honestly you should probably skip this one, but lemme tell you, we had a blast recording it :) We’re thrilled to be joined by our favorite FTWD critic, Erik Kain, whose scathingly accurate reviews at Forbes you may have heard Lucy and I fawning over throughout the years. Erik helped us send FTWD off in appropriate fashion, along with a bunch of cathartic messages from y’all. Erik Kain’s stuff can be found: On Forbes:...

So fun to be re-evaluating these episodes. We both liked this one better on rewatch and found it had more depth and humor than we realized before. But we always appreciated the first time we saw a zombie bite or kill anyone, even though we were both sad to see Amy go (but of course not Ed). Want to help us keep the rewatch going?

Look at all those baby faces! It’s the first appearance of Carol and Daryl this week, and we see them in a new light considering how much they’ve changed and grown over the years since. I mean, Daryl’s sipping champagne in Paris on the regular nowadays, and Carol will put out a fire with yo face.

We’re not sure what’s worse, smearing zombie guts all over you or having to listen to Merle’s bull$#!t. Equally shocking though in this super-fun-to-talk-about second ep of our rewatch!

Happy Halloween! Happy 13th anniversary of The Walking Dead (13 years is brains, we’re pretty sure)! And welcome to the start of our Walking Dead rewatch! Rarrr!!! It was such a pleasure to revisit TWD S1E1 “Days Gone Bye” and find that it’s as fantastic an episode of television as we remembered, and also to explore how our perspective on it has changed now that we’ve seen the whole series and we’ve all got 13 more years of life behind us. We’re excited to keep going with the rewatch, and...

Who else has been missing Lucy? Listen to this episode only if you want to smile and feel good. Lucy has had a rough year with, among other things, the recent loss of a close friend, so I asked you guys to send in messages of appreciation for her as a surprise, and it was so fun to read your notes and play your calls and hear her reaction. Still buzzing from it :) Plus, Lucy, Wendy, and I talk all things TWD, including: • A quick update on all of the spinoffs. • Our thoughts on The Walking...

Here’s a little pinkified palate cleanser for y’all - it’s Kara, Penny, and Jason talking Barbie! If you haven’t tuned in to the cultural phenom that is the new Barbie movie yet, it was directed and co-written by Greta Gerwig, who usually does smart, character-focused indie movies like Lady Bird and Frances Ha, and we thought she was such an inspired choice for this surprisingly complex, layered, funny, incredibly beautiful, thought-provoking movie. This podcast is full of spoilers, so if...
