693: "First Time Again" (TWD S6E1 Rewatch)
02/03/2026 Duração: 01h41minCrazy episode that definitely takes at least two viewings to really get it (all the black and white scenes are earlier, and color later). Coming right on the heals of the season five finale, this episode felt like a continuation of that season, which made me like it even more than I did the first time around. First Time Again :P As mentioned on the podcast, Lucy has a busy schedule for the next couple of months, but we don’t want to leave you guys hanging, so I (Jason) will be continuing on with the rewatch with guest hosts — happy to welcome longtime listener and “What Is From?” podcaster Alex with me for this one — and Lucy will be back for the big 700 (if not before).

692: Coldwater (2025)
23/02/2026 Duração: 01h20minAndrew Lincoln starred in a TV series, and so of course we’re gonna talk about it! Thing is, he plays kind of a berk (that’s British for chode). Coldwater (available on Paramount+ in the U.S.) is a lot of fun though — it’s funny, thought-provoking, and it’s a good old-fashioned thriller to sink your teeth into. I wouldn’t necessarily give it my highest recommendation, but honestly, that fact that Lucy and I had so much fun talking about it made me like it even more. You gotta be ready to see Andrew Lincoln playing a berk though….

Bonus: Jason & Karen on Severance
18/02/2026 Duração: 01h44minHey all, here’s a bonus episode for ya. If you’re a fan of the Apple TV series Severance — or if you’ve missing hearing me (Jason) and Karen together — I’m pretty sure you’ll like it. Karen in particular is in top form here :) So what is this? This is the two of us on my other podcast, Wax Episodic, talking Severance S1E1 “Good News About Hell”. What is Severance? It’s a trippy show where for some reason office workers have had their brains bifurcated so that while at work, they retain only work memories, and only outside memories on the outside. It’s a mysterious, mind-bending, amusingly strange, beautifully shot, intelligent thriller about identity, memory, and corporate control, and it’s on Apple TV, and Karen and I will be covering the entire series on Wax Episodic. If you like this episode: Please head on over and subscribe to Wax Episodic, which you can find at waxepisodic.com. Or just search “Wax Episodic” wherever you get your podcasts.

691: "Conquer" (TWD S5E16 Rewatch)
16/02/2026 Duração: 01h58minThat’s a wrap for season 5! Because of the Daryl show and a few other detours, it took us six months, which was just as long as when we covered it the first time. Lol. Anyway, the season ends with this packed episode that’s a turning point for Alexandria and Rick and the fam, and we were thrilled to have listener Carisa from Portland to talk It out with us. Be sure to listen to the end for some book recommendations. Mentioned Jason and Karen covering Severance on the Wax Episodic podcast: waxepisodic.com Jason’s interview with Sonequa Martin-Green: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-cast-of-us/episode/171-sonequa-martin-green-sasha Next up: Andrew Lincoln series Coldwater, available on Paramount+ in the US.

22/12/2025 Duração: 01h45minIs this the bleakest episode of The Walking Dead? It’s up there for sure.

BONUS: Pluribus S1E1&2 "We Is Us" & "Pirate Lady"
08/11/2025 Duração: 01h11minHey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus. Pluribus is the latest show from Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, who in our book is one of the all-time great TV creators. His writing is intelligent, meticulous, unexpected, and wry, and this show is wild. It’s very Twilight Zone-y. Creepy, thought provoking, thrilling, extremely odd in the best way, and super fun. If you haven’t tried it, we definitely recommend you give it a shot! And then, of course, listen to this podcast. And if you end up getting subsumed into the collective, we’ll be covering the rest of the season on Wax Episodic, available wherever you get podcasts, or at waxepisodic.com. PS If you’ve been a Podcastica listener for awhile, you might be interested know that the hosts for this podcast are me (Jason) and Karen, who started this network 15 years ago with The Walking Dead ‘Cast.

And we’re delighted to talk it out. Next time we’ll be going right back into the Walking Dead rewatch, and we really encourage anyone who hasn’t been listening along with us to that to jump back in! It’s great to revisit The Walking Dead. We’re really having a blast with it.
