Jul 16, 2019•2 hr 30 min•Transcript available on Metacast IMO this week's FTWD was one of the worst episodes of anything in the entire Walking Dead universe thus far. Stinker!! But I and guest hosts Pake and Megan make lemonade out of these sour lemons by suspending our usual habit of approaching the show from a place of appreciation and instead we have fun full-on thrashing it! (And okay, Pake and Megan actually managed to find a few good things too.) Hope you enjoy. Note: I (Jason) am considering finishing out the half-season on this show and the...
Jul 09, 2019•2 hr 30 min•Transcript available on Metacast Interesting episode, focused only on a couple of characters (and only one main FTWD character) and not furthering the FTWD plot along much, but definitely giving clues into an overarching TWD universe story. Lucy and I found a lot to like about this one! This podcast is made possible by listeners like you (and you too) who have supported us at patreon.com/jasonandkaren.

Jun 18, 2019•2 hr 40 min•Transcript available on Metacast As E.T. would say, ooouuuch.

Jun 18, 2019•38 min•Transcript available on Metacast Here it is, the first episode of The Jason & Karen Show. We think it's delightfully random, and fun, and it's filled with stuff we're interested in, and nothing we're not. You guys said you'd listen to us talk about anything. Here you go! :) In this particular episode we talk about the freakin’ hilarious FX vampire comedy, What We Do in the Shadows, plus the Impossible Burger, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland, Data-from-Star-Trek’s inability to use contractions, X-Me...
Jun 11, 2019•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast Attack of the toxic zeds this week, which sounds like a much more exciting concept than it ended up being (for a lot of us anyway).

May 22, 2019•1 hr 18 min•Transcript available on Metacast The Walking Dead game series originally by Telltale has wrapped, and I thought the final installment, detailing the end of Clementine's story, was intense, moving, fun, scary, emotionally gripping, and just a fantastic ending for the game. So good! I'm stoked to have my friend Melissa on to talk about it. We talked about: How Melissa feels now that the game is finished. Details of what happened with Telltale's collapse and how the game got finished after that. Behind-the-scenes info ...
May 11, 2019•2 hr 33 min•Transcript available on Metacast We're kicking off our coverage of the final season of Game of Thrones by cross-posting this episode of our GoT podcast, House Podcastica, here.

Apr 16, 2019•2 hr 28 min•Transcript available on Metacast Big shift in temperature, tone, and pace this week, and Karen and I appreciated it even more after we podcasted on it.

Mar 19, 2019•2 hr 47 min•Transcript available on Metacast A quick bonus ep for you guys, it's Matt Lintz aka Henry! As you guys all know, I've been rooting for Henry this season, and it was great to talk with Matt about his take on the character, Henry's frame of mind, and his motivations this season. I also asked him about what it's like being in a family with two other actors from The Walking Dead, and much more! My biggest regret: I forgot to ask for his zombie sound! Okay, I'm a little rusty. Next time, I promise :) Support the ...
Mar 16, 2019•21 min•Transcript available on Metacast Beta's a badass this episode, but not as bad as Daryl and Connie (and Henry for that matter - got two or three Whisperers with that staff).

Feb 19, 2019•1 hr 22 min•Transcript available on Metacast I'm joined by my friend Allison of thedeadconnection.com this week to talk the merits of Whisperer tactics, whether Negan is truly reformed (and whether that even matters), and who is more annoying - Henry or Lydia.

Feb 12, 2019•1 hr 24 min•Transcript available on Metacast Karen and I saw Zombieland together in the theater when it came out in 2009 and we loved it, and we've referenced it so much in the show that both of us thought we had already covered it!

Jan 30, 2019•1 hr 14 min•Transcript available on Metacast John Jason, Rich, and Chris (yep, it's an Evil Dead 'Cast reunion!) for our surprisingly diverse lists of top five favorite TV shows from the last 10 years. There's been an explosion of TV content in recent years, and so it was a challenge for us to come up with lists of our top five favorite shows from the last decade - so we cheated by having tons of Honorable Mentions :) Plus, some news, and your picks too. You can of course hear more of Chris on his Walking Dead podcast at talkin...

Jan 02, 2019•2 hr 41 min•Transcript available on Metacast When TWD is off air, Karen and I like to podcast about some of our other favorite things, and one thing we both love is Coen Brothers movies. We rank this latest one, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (available on Netflix), right up there with the best! If you haven't seen it, you're missing out (but prepare to have your heart broken a couple of times). Intelligent, beautifully filmed, with the blackest of dark humor, the purest innocence and beauty, and everything in between. Plus, we cover...
Dec 19, 2018•1 hr 20 min•Transcript available on Metacast Karen and I moderated Tom's first post-Jesus panel at Fan Fest/Walker Stalker San Jose this weekend, and it was a lot of fun. You'll hear his thoughts on whether Jesus might appear in a flashback, how to play dead, his perspective on Jesus' story arc, and much much more. We've talked with many of the WD actors after their exit from the show, and I have to say, Tom Payne's was unlike any of them. You'll see what I mean after you hear this episode. Enjoy! This podcast is ma...

Nov 13, 2018•2 hr 6 min•Transcript available on Metacast I was expecting to be paying my respects to Rick Grimes this week. Was going to start the podcast off with a sad song in honor of my favorite character passing on. What an unexpected (at least for me) twist! Holy shit. I was blown away. I have mixed feelings, strong on both sides. Karen couldn't be here for this one, but we'll find out what she thinks next week. That said, I'm really glad Lucy was able to do this episode with me. And thanks for all your feedback! I knew it would be a...
