The 'Cast of Us | A Last of Us & 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.

Deep breath — here we go! It’s the first of the final eight episodes of The Walking Dead.

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!

So great to see Negan face-to-face with Hershel and finally showing a smidge of remorse!

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!

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!

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. We’re joined this week by artist Kirk Manley, who’s getting ready to release a new round of his famous Walking Dead tribute posters, featuring favorites from TWD S10 and 11. The plan is to release two posters a day, six total, on Fri, Sat, and Sun, Sep 24-26 at studiokm.com. CONTEST: You can win ALL SIX of Kirk’s TWD tribute posters by doing the following: • Anytime between Fri Sep 24 and Sun Sep 26, publish a tweet mentioning the contest, and include both the URL studiokm.com and #twdtributeartweekend. • Be sure to tweet it out during that weekend, and include both the website URL and the hashtag, and you’ll have a chance to win.

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.

This ep reminded me of times early on in The Walking Dead when characters would make perplexingly frustrating moral choices. Ah, nostalgia.

It’s the first episode of the FINAL SEASON OF THE WALKING DEAD!!! That’s heavy man. At least it was a great one, in our opinion, with thrills, laughs, and classic Walking Dead moral dilemmas.

Amazing episode this week, showing Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s range portraying all the aspects of the complex character of Negan (and because it’s Negan, there’s a lot to talk about). And it was wonderful to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s real-life wife Hilarie Burton-Morgan kicking so much ass playing Negan’s wife Lucille.

This week’s episode, exploring Princess’ character, was one of those ones I wasn’t sure about at first, but liked more and more the more I thought about it.

Intense, bleak, and also strangely charming episode this week. Maybe the best of these additional S10 episodes yet.

We are so glad to be back podcasting on The Walking Dead after a long absence of the show (save for that one in October).

Finally, it’s the season 10 finale-not-a-finale! Now we know why there was so much production work needed: zombie lemmings. We thought this was quite the conclusion to an awesome season, unexpected in a lot of ways, and pretty great.

The original game The Last of Us was an incredible experience: thrilling, beautiful, moving, violent, engaging, and memorable, enough so that it’s not only one of my very favorite games, but also one of my all-time favorite stories, of any kind. Now, almost exactly seven years later, I’m joined again by Erik (aka Mr. Blahg) to talk through the newly released and long-awaited sequel, The Last of Us Part II. How do we think it compares? You’ll have to listen to find out :) By the way, we have a like 30-minute non-spoilery segment, and like a 45-minute super-spoilery-AF segment, in case you haven't finished yet and don't want to know what happens.

Ah Michonne, we're going to miss you. What a fierce character. I'll never forget when she stabbed out the Governor's eye with a shard of glass. She always had a sense about who to trust and who not to. And she was such a badass with that katana. We had some pretty mixed feelings about Michonne's sendoff episode, and frankly we think she deserved better, but the episode had some cool things about it, and we have a feeling we might be seeing more of Michonne's katana work sometime down the road. Ever hopeful. This podcast is made possible by listeners like you (and you too) who have supported us at patreon.com/jasonandkaren.
