Back to the rewatch! Basically this episode is an hour of us thinking about the Governor singing a broadway tune. :P Cluck…. went the chicken. Links: "The Walking (And Talking) Dead" — A Bad Lip Reading of The Walking Dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR4lLJu_-wE&t=276s   Darth Vade...

612: How We Cheer Ourselves Up + What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

Hey, anyone need some cheering up, by any chance? You’ve come to the right place. First off, Karen and Wendy are on this one, so that’s probably enough said. But also, the three of us talk about a bunch of different ways we cheer ourselves up when we’re feeling down. And then we chat about the hila...

And there it is, we’ve come to the end of another season of the Daryl show, now with more Carol. I think we’d all agree it was a mixed bag, but I hope you guys found it as worthwhile as Lucy and I did, and as usual we’re thrilled with all the engagement and feedback (a lot, as you can see by the ep...

C’es tout for season 2 of the Daryl show. It had its ups and downs, didn’t it? Even so, it was a fun watch and we had a great time covering it. PS: Was “The Book of Carol” a good subtitle? What do you think season 3 will be called?  PPS Two more days. Got your voting plan? vote.org   Next up: Liste...

Veronica joins us this week to go over this episode (and talk about her recent real-life adventures at Mont St. Michel). Think we felt as critical about this one as we have the last couple?

The great thing about a dip in quality is we get to commiserate and complain together! :) We’re feeling at least somewhat optimistic things will improve over the next couple episodes.

Lovely to read all your messages this week, as usual, and we especially appreciate you expressing support for our occasional tangents :) Merci. Also, I thought the reaction to Daryl and Isabelle’s kiss would be more divided. I mean it was divided, but not as much as I thought.  Less than a month to...
