573: "Become" (TWD: The Ones Who Live S1E5)

3/26/2024
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”.

563: The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

2/6/2024
It’s the classic 1985 zombie comedy, The Return of the Living Dead, the first movie where the zombies said “Braaaiiiinnnns!” And it’s also the return of Karen! I can’t believe Karen and I never covered this one before. It was a blast to talk it through with her and Lucy, and to just kind of let the conversation go wherever it wanted. Hope you enjoy :) After this we’re getting ready for TWD: The Ones Who Live, and as always, we’d love to hear what you guys think.

Bonus: "Robbie and the Work Fridge" (Welcome to the Apocalypse S1E2)

2/1/2024
Bonus ep! Thought you guys might like to check out Podcastica's first improv podcast, set (of course) in the zombie apocalypse, featuring Randy, Jenny, Robert, and special guests making their way through the walking-dead-infested landscape as best they can. To hear more, go to podcastica.com/podcast/welcome-to-the-apocalypse or search for "Welcome to the Apocalypse" wherever you get your podcasts. --- Welcome to the Apocalypse is an improvised podcast that pulls listeners into a post-apocalyptic world filled with scares, adventure, and dark humor. Jenny, Randy, and Rob draw inspiration from apocalyptic TV shows and movies, as their characters navigate a deteriorating society, evade monsters, and encounter friends and foes that have been molded by the apocalypse. In this episode, the group deals with their first zombie bite while encountering a yogurt-loving-man who may not be what he seems. Follow us on Instagram: @WelcomeToTheApocalypsePod

559: "Cherokee Rose" (TWD S2E4 Rewatch)

1/9/2024
Man, these episodes take on a new flavor when you’ve spent a lot of time with the characters and know how things turn out. I won’t spoil the whole podcast, but I (Jason) always thought Daryl’s Cherokee Rose speech was cheesy, and now I just think it’s really sweet.

558: "Save the Last One" (TWD S2E3 Rewatch)

1/2/2024
An iconic episode of The Walking Dead this week, maybe the first big “holy shit” moment, and a turning point for the series and definitely for Shane. What do you think? Was Shane right or wrong?

557: "Bloodletting" (TWD S2E2 Rewatch)

12/26/2023
So great to see the first appearance of the Greene family, with Maggie galloping in and saving the day with her bat (!), and Hershel confidently using his veterinarian skillz to save poor little Carl. As capable and confident as they are, that’s how broken down Rick is. Poor dude.

555: One Cut of the Dead (2017)

12/12/2023
After wrapping TWD season 1, take a quick detour over to Japan with us for the acclaimed 2017 Japanese zombie head-trip of a movie, One Cut of the Dead. The movie is available to stream on AMC+ and Shudder, and you can rent or buy it on other platforms. And we do recommend checking it out before listening to the podcast, and make sure to keep watching past the 37-minute mark…. Plus, it’s been awhile since we talked about any news on The Last of Us, and there is some, so we talk about it! You might be wondering why Lucy and I aren’t covering Return of the Living Dead as we had planned, and that’s because Lucy is out sick :( Hoping she’ll feel better ASAP. In the meantime, I’m happy to be joined by longtime listeners and Podcastica hosts, Randy and Kara.
