Bonus Replay: Our OG Review of The Last of Us Part II
03/04/2025 Duration: 01h59minBefore we get to The Last of Us S2 here’s the repost I promised, from back in 2020 when Erik and I (Jason) were fresh off their first playthrough of The Last of Us Part II and eager to express how freaking great we thought it was! But fair warning! Season 2 will more-or-less follow the plot of the game, so don’t listen unless you’ve played or watched the game, or if you don’t mind spoilers. There’s a ~30-minute non-spoilery segment up front where we talk about gameplay and things like that, and then a ~45-minute super-spoilery-AF segment. Next week, Lucy and Jason will be back with a season 1 catch-up that won’t have any S2 spoilers. Next up: The Last of Us Season One Catch-Up, with Lucy and Jason. Let us know your thoughts!

631: The Last of Us Pre-Season Two Chat
31/03/2025 Duration: 01h08minThe Last of Us season 2 is just around the corner, premiering Sunday April 13, and we’re excited!!! Join Jason, Erik, and Ben to chat about the new season. SPOILER WARNING: This episode is divided into two segments, with different levels of spoilery-ness: 1: News about the upcoming season, with LIGHT to MEDIUM spoilers. We talk about some of the characters and broad-setups for storylines. If you don’t mind the kinds of spoilers that appear in trailers and pre-season news articles, you’re safe listening to this segment. 2: Our thoughts and hopes on how the series will play out, based on what we know about the games, with HEAVY spoilers about what happened in the games, which often aligns with the show. Only listen to this if you’ve played or watched the games, or you don’t care at all about spoilers. Next week, Lucy and Jason will be back with a season 1 catch-up that won’t have any S2 spoilers.
