Fear the Walking Dead ‘Cast

What a fantastic episode this week, with Pamela and her oddly intimate-yet-threatening encounter with Lance, some powerful scenes between Mercer and the people in his life who want him to live up to their vision of him, some fun moments between Daryl and Eugene, and one of the spookiest and coolest zombie sequences we’ve seen in a long time.  Subscribe to our YouTube channel and join us for a live instant reaction to The Walking Dead each Sunday at 10p ET: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbQpQiudVyoYMc8zqqr8U1g You can find our contact info and all our other shows at: podcastica.com  • If you follow / subscribe to all your favorite Podcastica shows, you will make us happy.  Come to the WD finale party!

Deep breath — here we go! It’s the first of the final eight episodes of The Walking Dead. Feels good to be back, and though we had some mixed feelings about this first ep for sure, there was a lot to dig in to.  Subscribe to our YouTube channel and join us for a live instant reaction to The Walking Dead each Sunday at 10p ET: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbQpQiudVyoYMc8zqqr8U1g Jon Bernthal speech at Norman Reedus Hollywood Walk of Fame Star ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ASsfpOZuU  The Walking Dead prop auction: https://goldin.co/buy/?Auctions=202208-2519-0458-6adfb122-9d99-485a-82e2-140ec575eec5 You can find our contact info and all our other shows at: podcastica.com  • If you follow / subscribe to all your favorite Podcastica shows, you will make us happy.  Come to the WD finale party!

What a pleasure to talk to the talented Josh Hamilton, the man behind the enigmatic, calculating, and endlessly watchable Walking Dead antagonist, Lance Hornsby! Lucy and I (with the help of you guys) asked him about all kinds of things, including:  • Josh’s experience listening to our podcast • How much he knew about Lance’s character arc from the beginning • What kind of society he’d like to be a part of in the ZA • Whether Lance believes in the ideals of the Commonwealth or it’s more about power for him • Lance’s backstory • Josh’s thoughts about various WD characters and actors • What the mood was like working on his 1993 film, Alive • What stands out to him about working on the 2018 Bo Burnham-directed movie Eighth Grade • What he thinks about Lance’s fashion sense • What it’s like to be on TWD as it’s ending • And a lot more!

First thing’s first: Wanna come join us on the West Coast for a group watch of the WD finale? If you’re in, please RSVP at podcastica.com/twdfinaleparty so we can get a headcount. It’s gonna be so much fun! King-size episode this week as we delve into THE LAST TWD MID-SEASON FINALE EVER!!! :`( Well, we thought it was a good one, and seemingly, hopefully kicked the story into high-gear for the final eight. Plus there was a ton of news and listener feedback (thank you!). And we finally got around to doing a big multi-issue Comic Talk segment comparing what happens with the Commonwealth in the comics vs. the show. Considering Rick was involved in the comics, things played out somewhat differently there and it’s kind of fascinating to think about the two alternate-reality versions of this story.

Some adorable “couple” moments in this ep, along with some plot progression, but we ARE kinda feeling like OKAY, we know the Commonwealth is rotten to the core! Can we please get to the rebellion or whatever it’s going to be?! But, we definitely found a lot to like and talk about with this ep. P.S. While Lucy’s out exploring Game-of-Thrones filming locations I’m happy to be joined this week by Rima and longtime listener and friend, Jayme! You can hear Jayme on the "Watched It in the '80s" podcast talking about the classic Evil Dead 2 here: https://pod.link/1565684262/episode/d338f3957a1f97dbeb86888eb17c3155 Ukraine relief charities: • World Central Kitchen: wck.org • Polish Red Cross: redcrossredcrescent.org • John Kucko Digital / Sunflowers for Ukraine: https://omnidon-productions.company.site/Sunflowers-for-Ukraine-p451954513?fbclid=IwAR1AoAtET24iLS6z5zOXdLu-JBSjZ0AmrCK3lpxak28RIoInrhpQ1d6LIy4  You can find our contact info and all our other shows at: podcastica.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

So great to see Negan face-to-face with Hershel and finally showing a smidge of remorse! Also, the rotten core of the Commonwealth is being exposed to all our people, which surely means a rebellion is not too far off, right?

The Walking Dead has turned into a bit of a political thriller and also got us thinking about the merits and downsides of various forms of government, and we’re pretty fascinated by all of it and excited at the change of pace coming up towards the end here.

This episode strolled through my door like a zombie shambles towards it’s prey, cold hearted and looking to take a bite out of me. It flashed me a beautiful smile, the kind of smile that could make you go blind. But it was like the front page of the paper, probably bad news.

Kind of jarring going from such an action-packed episode last week to a study on classism and the effects of materialism on society, but we loved the episode and there was a lot of conversation to be had!

This interview with the wonderful Ross Marquand (Aaron) happened all because of The Sexton Single Malt and their brand new Walking-Dead-branded bottle of single malt Irish whiskey, which Ross is helping them promote and which you can pre-order right here: https://www.reservebar.com/products/the-sexton-single-malt-x-the-walking-dead-limited-edition Highly recommend checking that out! As always, it was awesome to talk with Ross. It was a quick interview, but we managed to cover some interesting topics like: What current-day Aaron would say to early Aaron. What it was like to film the intense late-season-10 episode “One More” with Gabriel and Mays (Robert Patrick). Whether he asked Angela Kang to change or add anything for Aaron. Whether his prosthetic arm comes off and on easily or needs to stay on all day during filming? How he’s feeling now the the end of The Walking Dead is in sight, and how he thinks he’s going to feel at the very end. And more! Support the show: patreon.com/jasoncabassi or buymeacoffee.

It’s the end of the first, what, trimester of the final season of TWD, with a bunch of unresolved stories and cliffhangers to keep us wondering what will happen next. But hey, at least Pope is dead! Plus, we thought some of the revelations about what exactly CRM is doing over on World Beyond were pretty intriguing.

This week we return to the world of The World Beyond, such as it is, and a story-packed ep of TWD with some very Game-of-Thrones-esque wheeling and dealing in the Commonwealth that we were particularly intrigued by (and a Walking Dead version of Joffrey to boot).

It was a thrill to talk with Paola Lázaro about playing our favorite new Walking Dead character, Princess! She was even cooler than we thought she’d be (and we thought she’d be really cool). We covered a lot, including: What she loves about playing Princess. How she approached the character when she started. How she’s similar to Princess. What it was like to film her season 10C episode. Her thoughts on Andrew Lincoln. How she got Josh McDermitt to break character during a scene. How she feels about the fans. How she handles criticism. How she handles having ADHD. Her thoughts on Mercer and the actor who plays him, Michael James Shaw. Which WD character she would most like to play a scene with or write a scene for. What it’s like to come into the show near the end.. Whether she thinks the ZA has benefitted Princess. Whether she has improvised any of Princess’ lines. How well she thinks Princess would get along with Michonne. Whether she’s talked with Robert Kirkman. And more. Enjoy! Support: patreon.com/jas

Great episode this week. Quite the contrast among the storylines, with Eugene eating ice cream over in the pleasant (yet slightly creepy) Commonwealth while Aaron tortures a man with a zombie in the decimated remains of Hilltop.

Nothing like a little violent religious extremism to brighten up your day, right? Well, this wasn’t our favorite episode, but it did have its moments, and Lucy and I had a fun time talking about the show, as always. Hope you enjoy. PS I can’t believe I forgot to mention what a great episode of “What If…?” It was this week. Zombie superheroes!!! Even if you don’t usually watch that show, you might get a kick out of this one.

Some thrills and chills in this episode for sure, as Maggie’s group gets winnowed to basically just her and Negan. Nice couple, those two.
