Feb 19, 2024•2 hr 55 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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. Next episode: Catching Up with Ri...

Jan 16, 2024•2 hr 34 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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.

Jan 09, 2024•2 hr 57 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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? Lucy and Jason are joined by Karen Shih to talk it through. As always, we want your feedback (and zombie sounds) as we go back through The Walking Dead.

Jan 02, 2024•2 hr 31 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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. Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it.

Dec 26, 2023•2 hr 40 min•Transcript available on Metacast On to TWD season 2, and even though a few characters are starting to get pretty annoying, it was a delight to revisit this premiere and to see some of it in a new light.

Dec 19, 2023•2 hr 54 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 mig...
Dec 12, 2023•1 hr 24 min•Transcript available on Metacast It’s the end of season one with this rather strange episode in the history of TWD, with themes of sexual assault and suicide in this weirdly super-high-tech facility with the lone scientist who seems to know more about the ZA than anyone. Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it. Just send them to thecastofus.com .

Dec 05, 2023•2 hr 36 min•Transcript available on Metacast It’s the aftermath of the zombie attack on camp, and the group is shaken and has a bunch of decisions to make, like weather to kill Jim just because he was bitten, whether to go to an army base or the CDC, and in Shane’s case, whether to shoot his best friend so he can have a shot with his wife. What a stand up guy. Glad to be joined by Peter this week to help Lucy and me talk it out! Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it. Just send them to...
Nov 28, 2023•2 hr 37 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you’re a fan of Fear the Walking Dead, well… honestly you should probably skip this one, but lemme tell you, we had a blast recording it :) We’re thrilled to be joined by our favorite FTWD critic, Erik Kain, whose scathingly accurate reviews at Forbes you may have heard Lucy and I fawning over throughout the years. Erik helped us send FTWD off in appropriate fashion, along with a bunch of cathartic messages from y’all. Erik Kain’s stuff can be found: On Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/er...
Nov 24, 2023•1 hr 16 min•Transcript available on Metacast So fun to be re-evaluating these episodes. We both liked this one better on rewatch and found it had more depth and humor than we realized before. But we always appreciated the first time we saw a zombie bite or kill anyone, even though we were both sad to see Amy go (but of course not Ed). Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it. Just send them to thecastofus.com . They’ll thank you for it :) If you’re in a Walking Dead Facebook group (or an...

It’s the first appearance of Carol and Daryl this week, and we see them in a new light considering how much they’ve changed and grown over the years since.

And welcome to the start of our Walking Dead rewatch! Rarrr!!! It was such a pleasure to revisit TWD S1E1 “Days Gone Bye” and find that it’s as fantastic an episode of television as we remembered, and also to explore how our perspective on it has changed now that we’ve seen the whole series and we’ve all got 13 more years of life behind us. We’re excited to keep going with the rewatch, and hopefu...
