For months now you’ve heard me go on and on about Mike Carey’s zombie novel, The Girl With All the Gifts. It’s one of my favorite books in any genre, and I’ve gotten messages of thanks from a lot of you smart people who took my advice and read it. The main course of today’s podcast, from 30:33 to 1:08:22, is an interview with Mike Carey, who also wrote the screenplay for the upcoming movie adaptation. Mike talks about:• How the idea for the novel came about.• What it was like being on set and working on the movie.• His thoughts on writing from a child’s perspective.• Director Colm McCarthy’s commitment to hiring a diverse cast for the movie.• His thoughts on the ending of the book.• How you can read an additional chapter of the book online.• A tease about his next book, Fellside, due out next April.• And much more! Mike is as well spoken as he is a terrific writer, and I know all you TGWATG fans will dig this. And if you haven’t read the book yet, we tried to keep things spoiler-light in the first several mi

But mostly, since Mr. Blahg and Petey Cinderson and I just got back from Comic-Con, the three of us cover all the recent FTWD and TWD news in detail, plus highlights of Walker Stalker Fan Fest.

I'm always excited to discover movies (and TV and any art) that feels like they were made with vision and passion and are full of surprises. This episode I'm stoked to be talking about a couple of just such movies, both in theaters now: the post-apocalyptic action-adventure Mad Max: Fury Road and the sci-fi psychological thriller Ex Machina. I'm equally stoked to be joined by two of my favorite people, Petey Cinderson of Walker Stalker fame and Melissa Hutchison of Telltale's The Walking Dead games (among many other things).

I usually like to wait to approach WD newcomers for an interview, but Ross Marquand's character Aaron has been interesting right out of the gate, with lots to talk about. And Ross and I covered a lot of it in this episode. We talked about: His thoughts on the fan reaction to Aaron and Eric being gay. How it was to film the scene when Rick punched Aaron. Why Aaron resisted the apple sauce. His friendship with Jordan Woods-Robinson, who plays Eric. And a lot more. Let us know what you think! Don't get cold-cocked....
