Fear the Walking Dead ‘Cast

Before 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.

The 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.  Links: Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC3C7GMMfDU  Creator

This episode is a turning point for The Walking Dead. No more prison. No more Governor. And of course, no more Hershel :( It’s such a sad one, but it’s also one of the most highly rated episodes. We’re particularly glad they gave Hershel a good one to go out on. Join Jason and Veronica (filling in for Lucy who’s not feeling well) to talk it out! Next up: TWD S4E9 “After”.

Is this the first TWD episode that many (most?) fans generally don’t like much? As such, it was really fun to re-examine it, and we’re happy to be joined by Nathan Eshelman, who’s a fan of the episode and especially of Tara.  Links: Panels at Walker Stalker with Meyrick Murphy (Meghan), Brighton Sharbino (Lizzie), Emma Bell (Amy), and Addy Miller (Teddy Bear Girl): https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-cast-of-us/episode/152-emma-bell-brighton-sharbino-madison-lintz-addy-miller-meyrick-murphy  Nathan’s writings about horror movies at “Hack or Slash”: https://www.hackorslash.live/search/?q=Nathan+eshelman The Zedhead Show 23: TWD Musings & Trivia w/ Nathan & Karen: https://www.patreon.com/posts/zedhead-show-23-72163751 What is Audio Description?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_GrYOruY7w  Next up: Finally getting back to Silo, with S2E7-10.

It’s the one where Rick banishes Carol from the group. We both thought this one was later in the season. It’s sad, but necessary.

The sickness spreads this week, and people like Hershel, Beth, Tyreese, and Carl are stepping up to meet the moment like the heroes they are.

Feels great getting back to the rewatch with this first episode of season four right as we enter a new year, especially since these next couple of seasons are (in our opinion) some of the finest of the show!

We’re back in the dystopian world of Silo, where ten thousand people live in a giant silo hundreds of stories deep underground, in society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them.

Another season in the books! As often has happened in this rewatch, Lucy and I both came to this episode with a new perspective: I think I liked it more than the first time and Lucy less though :) Hope you enjoy our talk.

Wow, we both forgot what a great episode this one is (and I think we both have a new appreciation for it now, too). Sad, weighty, interesting, well-written, and well-acted.
