The Walking Dead 'Cast

Fair warning, we're in deep deep denial about Glenn's alleged apparent untimely death this episode, and so we can't help but look at things from that filter. So be warned, there won't be a lot of grieving happening—not until we know for sure. Still, we break things down for you and look at it all through a few different angles. Plus news, and as you can imagine, lots of heartfelt email and calls f...

Are you as stoked as we are that TWD-proper has returned?!

Enjoy our foolishness :)  And by the way, thanks for all your input and feedback. So much fun to read all your thoughts, insights, and cute jokes about the episode each week. Something else I'm real...

Five years ago today, Karen and I published our first episode of The Walking Dead 'Cast....

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 pe...
