Lucy’s back to talk about this week’s TOTWD that started off like a nature documentary and ended up being about a “scientist” emotionally attached to his subjects to the point that he cares about him more than other people. Kind of a tool, really. But at least it was Anthony Edwards! Come to the WD finale party!

Beautifully art-directed episode this week, with an old-timey riverboat floating in the misty night among the jagged trees and the dead. And we get a little mystery story, and more color on what led Dee to become Alpha, with Samantha Mortan putting in another fantastic performance.

It’s another Walking Dead spinoff! Join me and fellow Zedhead Sadie as we talk through the first ep of the new Walking Dead anthology series, Tales of the Walking Dead.

Oh man, so much happy in this episode. First off, Karen is back to talk about Jordan Peele’s Nope, and it feels like old-time WDC vibes :) And of course I’m sure you heard about the Rick Grimes news (right?!), and Rima joins us to talk about that and other Comic-Con news.

Lucy, special guest Peter, and I wrap up our coverage of the Korean period zombie saga, Kingdom, with the 90-minute prequel movie, Kingdom: Ashin of the North. This one could easily challenge Game of Thrones for darkest most twisted historical fantasy ever. Jeez. Also we’ve got some news about things coming up!

Hey all! Happy to be joined this week by one of my Yellowjackets cohosts, Penny. As the final eight episodes of our beloved series loom in the near future, we thought we’d chat a bit about our overall feelings about The Walking Dead. We talk about our favorite era of the show, favorite characters, where we thought the series most went wrong, predictions for the end of the series, and our thoughts on the spinoffs.  And for the main event, it’s yet another Korean zombie thing, namely the excellent 2020 movie #Alive. It’s a simple movie, and it really gave me those old zombie goosebumps! Definitely recommend checking it out. You can catch it on Netflix.

If you haven’t yet checked out Netflix’ Korean historical zombie thriller, Kingdom, you are seriously missing out. It’s so beautifully designed and staged, with incredible rage-zombie action, and Game-of-Thrones-style political intrigue, backstabbing, and shocking twists.  Lucy and I are pleased to have Kingdom fan (and Lucy’s partner) Peter on to talk through the second season. (We covered the first season awhile back, which you can find here: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-walking-dead-cast/episode/395-kingdom-season-one).

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.
