628: "Inmates" (TWD S4E10 Rewatch)

Felt like a bunch of cool little mini-movies this week as our people are scattered and in various stages of hope and despair. And psychosis. Pro tip: Never hire Lizzie as your babysitter.  Robot Chicken - The Walking Dead Special | Terminus, The Musical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUt9sJC32vM ...

626: "Too Far Gone" (TWD S4E8 Rewatch)

This episode is a turning point for The Walking Dead. No more prison. No more Governor. And of course, no more Hershel :( It’s such a sad one, but it’s also one of the most highly rated episodes. We’re particularly glad they gave Hershel a good one to go out on. Join Jason and Veronica (filling in ...

625: "Dead Weight" (TWD S4E7 Rewatch)

It’s the second Governor-centric ep, and as I suspected, we found a lot to like and a lot to chew on. We’re delighted to be joined by Rebecca Louise this week. Enjoy! Next up: TWD S4E8 “Too Far Gone”. Yep, that one :( Let us know your thoughts. You can email or send a voice message to talk@podcasti...

Silo fans! Amelie, Veronica, and Jason are back with our thoughts on the second half of what we thought was an engaging season.  For our earlier coverage, check out: Silo S1E1-6: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-cast-of-us/episode/525-silo-s1e1-6 Silo S1E7-10: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-c...

623: "Live Bait" (TWD S4E6 Rewatch)

Is this the first TWD episode that many (most?) fans generally don’t like much? As such, it was really fun to re-examine it, and we’re happy to be joined by Nathan Eshelman, who’s a fan of the episode and especially of Tara.  Links: Panels at Walker Stalker with Meyrick Murphy (Meghan), Brighton Sh...

622: "Internment" (TWD S4E5 Rewatch)

What a gruesome and harrowing episode, with Hershel as the shining light in a sea of darkness. Don’t get sick! Links: Welcome to the White Lotus podcast (hosted by Jason, Jenny, & Randy): https://podcastica.com/podcast/welcome-to-the-white-lotus Next up: TWD S4E6 “Live Bait”. Let us know your t...

621: "Indifference" (TWD S4E4 Rewatch)

It’s the one where Rick banishes Carol from the group. We both thought this one was later in the season. It’s sad, but necessary. Right?  Links: The Last of Us Part II documentary (free on YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC3C7GMMfDU&t=2802s Next up: TWD S4E5 “Internment”. Let us know ...

620: "Isolation" (TWD S4E3 Rewatch)

The sickness spreads this week, and people like Hershel, Beth, Tyreese, and Carl are stepping up to meet the moment like the heroes they are. This is where TWD really started to make us love these characters on another level. We’re thrilled to be joined by Penny this week to talk this one out.  Lin...

Another fantastic episode, looked at in a new way in the rewatch. We’re feeling things watching these episodes after the pandemic we all lived through. How about you guys?  Links: Donate to LA Fire Department:  https://supportlafd.kindful.com/?campaign=1040812&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYCsJMFX...

Happy New Year everybody! Feels great getting back to the rewatch with this first episode of season four right as we enter a new year, especially since these next couple of seasons are (in our opinion) some of the finest of the show! We’re thrilled to be joined again by Karen Shih to talk about “30...
