596: "Home" (TWD S3E10 Rewatch)

Ton going on this ep. Mostly a lot of people recovering from the trauma of the attack on Woodbury while trying to prepare for an attack on the prison. Honestly, makes me feel grateful to be sitting at my computer in my nice warm house on my comfy chair typing this :)  Links: Register to vote / check...

Lots of fighting and bickering this episode, and okay yeah Andrea’s totally gone off the rails. No denying it at this point.  Links: Register to vote / check if you’re already registered (and let us know you did if you’d like a shout-out): vote.org   The Walking Dead prop auction starts Sep 24 at: h...

593: "When the Dead Come Knocking" (TWD S3E7 Rewatch)

Lucy’s back and it’s the episode with the epic badass fight with Glenn bound to a chair vs. a zed. So cool! When I found out this was that ep, I was excited to watch it. Turns out it had a bunch of other great stuff in it too.  Links: The Walking Dead prop auction starts Sep 24 at: https://propstore...

Hello….? Is someone there…? Where are you?! In this ep Jason talks TWD with ghost from the past (aka longtime listener and previous guest host) Karen Shih! Plus, Karen talks about her experience attending the Dead City and Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol panels at this years San Diego Comic-Con. Walk...

591: "Say the Word" (TWD S3E5 Rewatch)

This episode Lil’ Ass-Kicker gets named, and a bunch of other stuff happens. Just kidding - it’s great tension between Andrea, Michonne, and the Governor as we delve deeper into what exactly is going on in Woodbury. Much thanks to Jim for joining me this week while Lucy’s away traveling. Walking Dea...

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 apoc...

588: "Walk with Me" (TWD S3E3 Rewatch)

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: Peni...

586: "Seed" (TWD S3E1 Rewatch)

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 lit...
