The Walking Dead 'Cast

Two men important to TWD fell this week in the stunning climax to the half-season. Join us in this extra-long podcast as we go into detail about our thoughts. Lots to talk about re: the comic this week too: In Comic Talk Jaden goes over the many similarities between this ep and the comic, and throws in a few informed predictions. And Gracie Lou and Mr. Blahg go Under the Comic Covers to give you t...

I've been enjoying Chad Coleman's measured portrayal of Tyreese, this multi-faceted character who with his hammer and his wool cap seemed to have burst straight out of the pages of the comic this season, especially once he became activated by Karen's death. It was a pleasure to speak with Chad as he thoughtfully answered everything we wanted to know. Join me and special guest Brittany as we find o...

Another Governer-centric episode, and our opinions were even further apart this week than last! It's no fun if we always agree, right? Join us as we discuss the merits and/or failings of this episode, with extra-large helpings of WD news and feedback from you guys. Bummed you missed out on Walker Stalker Con this November and thinking of heading out to Atlanta next year? Well tickets are already o...

Joined by our friend (and returning guest) Lisa, we give you our thoughts on this, another impressive, well-balanced, sickly episode of The Walking Dead. *cough* *cough* Excuse me.... Think I better go lay down.... Oh, but first, thank you so much for helping us get nominated for TWO podcast awards!!! I'm really proud that you guys did that :)  Now let's make it mean something! To help us actually...

Such a pleasure to talk with Angela Kang, writer of last Sunday's excellently horrific episode, "Infected." She was gracious, open, and lots of fun. Joined by temporary cohost and fantabulous listener Pi'ilani, we asked Angela about a lot of things, including:* How season four is shaping up.* Whether she deliberately strives to write TWD like a classic horror movie.* What's going on with several c...

In this bonus episode we're thrilled to be talking with Greg Nicotero, one of the main creative forces behind The Walking Dead, not to mention a legend in makeup and special effects going back decades. We spoke with him about how he and his team dreams up new zombies, whether he ever gets disturbed by the gore, the possibility of Walking Dead on the big screen, his relationship with zombie progeni...

TWD S4 is coming up and in preparation, we go back and review the first eight episodes of season three. I was surprised at how much more I got out of the season by binge watching. In particular I think I understand much more clearly what was going on in the Governor's twisted brain. Listen in as I lay it out for you and go over all the bits of foreshadowing and other elements that take on a new si...

All right here it is, the recording of our Walking Dead fan meetup held during Comic Con! I had a blast co-hosting this event with James from The Walker Stalkers (with Eric assisting via Skype and a cameo from Karen). It was great fun talking live with Tyler Chase (Ben), Theodus Crane (Big Tiny), Nick Gomez (Tomas), Daniel Thomas May (Allen), and Travis Love (Shumpert). Most of all, it was super c...

After seeing World War Z, Karen immediately flew to Israel (coincidence? hmm....), leaving Mr. Blahg and I here all by our lonesomes. Since we both just played and loved Naughty Dog's The Last of Us and Telltale's The Walking Dead: 400 Days, we decided why not podcast about them! We've also got the latest news and, of course, your feedback. And next week is Comic Con and our fan meetup with The Wa...

It's been awhile, but we're making up for it with our longest show ever! It's the circle of podcasting as we talk with relative newcomers to the scene, the fabulous James and Eric, a.k.a. The Walker Stalkers, about their experiences meeting the cast of TWD, interacting with the listeners, and planning events. And later at the other end of the gamut, we talk with two of our podcasting idols, Jay an...

Here it is, our reaction to the season three finale. As you might imagine, we had mixed feelings, but overall thought it was pretty great. Also, we announce the winner of our Michonne haiku LiveScribe SmartPen contest. Some great haiku from you guys! Some of the best ever :) And stay tuned to the end for a big announcement for the podcast. Also, don't forget to check out our Comic Con event with J...

It was great to finally talk with Dallas Roberts, a.k.a. our favorite socially awkward zombie apologist/scientist Milton Mamet. You guys know I've been so impressed with Dallas' line readings, and I was excited to hear his approach to dialog. Plus, learn whether it was Milton who torched the biters in the screamer pit, what Dallas thinks Milton's relationship with the Governor was pre-apocalypse a...

We had a blast chatting with our guest of honor, Andrew Lincoln, who talked about why he's an actor, his thoughts on the possibility of Rick losing a hand, whether he keeps up with cast mates who've left the show, and much much more. Tons of other surprises this episode, like the debut of both Nathan Melsted's extended version of our intro song a...
