The Walking Dead 'Cast

Intense, bleak, and also strangely charming episode this week. Maybe the best of these additional S10 episodes yet. Lucy and I and our special guest, longtime listener Alysha Stout, have a lot to say about it. And as always, thanks for all your great feedback! You guys have been sending in some really good thoughtful comments and we really appreciate it.  Support: patreon.com/jasoncabassi or buyme...

Very notable show within the history of The Walking Dead this week, what with Daryl finding a little romance in the zombie apocalypse. Of course, opinions on this story varied, among you guys and between the two of us, and there was a lot to talk about. Hope you enjoy. Check out the wonderful our friends Marc and Abi, aka Mookie and the Bab, at mookieandthebab.com.  Support: patreon.com/jasoncabas...

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). As Lucy says, how can a show about zombies and the apocalypse feel like a warm hug? We found a lot to like about this particular episode, and of course some nitpicks (this is a podcast, after all). Hope you enjoy! Support: patreon.com/jasoncabassi or buymeacoffee.com/cabassi fo...

TWD S10C is right around the corner! Aside from the one episode we got in October, it’s been a whole freakin’ year of waiting — so Rima and I are here to get you guys caught up on the story with a recap and moments that stood out to us in the most recent 8 episodes. We enjoyed looking back on what’s been an amazing season so far, plus we talk about our hopes for these upcoming additional six episo...

Karen joins me this episode to talk about the breakout Netflix chess drama mini-series starring Anya Taylor-Joy, The Queen’s Gambit. We both very much enjoyed the series and recommend it to you guys (I thought it was like an intellectual Rocky crossed with Mad Men, but it’s definitely it’s own thing too).

Fight Club, the 1999 cult classic is an iconic, controversial movie, crackling with energy and creativity, violent, funny, and consistently surprising. It’s been one of my favorites since I first saw it in the theater, and it was so interesting to revisit it, see whether it held up, and find out whether my views about it have changed. I’m joined by my good friend Eric Flint, who I’ve known since t...

Karen joins Lucy and I this ep to freak out over 2020 COVID Zoom horror movie, Host. If you like scary movies, this was a lot of fun, so we recommend checking out Host first. It’s on the Shudder streaming service and you can get a 7-day free trial, or I think you can rent it from Apple or Amazon. Warning: There are dark forces in this movie…. P.S. You might have noticed some ads popping up in the...

We had so much fun talking movies this ep, going over our top 5 favorite movie directors (with about 50 honorable mentions), and we also go through all the recent news of Marvel and Star Wars series and movies. Glad to be joined this week by our friend Ben Beck, avid cinephile and prolific podcast host. You can find his work at thenextlevelnetwork.com. We’ll be breaking until early January after t...

World Beyond’s first season wraps up with these final two episodes, amping up the tension, and also requiring vast amounts of suspension of disbelief. All-in-all Lucy and I enjoyed the show, and we thank you for listening to our coverage of both TWD spinoffs. We’ll be going biweekly as usual during the break. Next up in a couple weeks or so, our top five all-time favorite movie directors.  Support...

One of our all-time favorite FTWD episodes this week, so that’s a nice surprise. Also, World Beyond was pretty alright too, and we were of course especially intrigued by that post-credits scene.

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. PS If you're looking for an episode on the new spinoff, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, it should be in your feed just before this one. Support: patreon.com/jasonandk...

It’s a brand new Walking Dead series, and we approached it cautiously. But we found a lot to like about The Walking Dead: World Beyond.

Surprise guest James Frazier, founder of Walker Stalker Con, joins me this episode. As most of you guys know, I moderated panels for WSC throughout its run, meeting most of the Walking Dead actors and many of you listeners around the country and overseas. It was quite the experience, and I’m grateful to James for putting it together. As you might also know, the whole thing fell apart at the end, a...

Have you heard the news? AMC has announced that The Walking Dead will end after a super-sized, two-year 11th season, with a spinoff featuring Daryl and Carol to follow, and another anthology-style series with new and old characters. Big news! Listen in as Lucy, Derek, and Jason talk through our thoughts and predictions. Patreon is now offering yearly subscriptions, and you can get a 10% discount,...

It’s another all-time classic this episode, The Silence of the Lambs.

In honor of being stuck inside, we’re covering Misery, the 1990 Rob-Reiner-directed adaptation of Stephen King’s harrowing novel about a hobbled writer and a very toxic fan. It’s long been one of my favorite Stephen King adaptations, and it was fun to revisit it and see whether it holds up.

I’m joined by Rima and Pake for our annual Comic-Con special, where we review the Walking Dead trailers that came out of Comic-Con (three of ‘em this time), go over upcoming movies and shows we’re looking forward to, and look back at how well our picks from last year turned out (usually, not very!). See if your favorites get talked about, and maybe learn about a few new things you might like. Supp...

It’s our 10th anniversary special, and we’re celebrating in style! First it’s a fun and in-depth interview with TWD showrunner Angela Kang, who has brilliantly reinvigorated the show over the last couple seasons. Then Karen, Lucy, and I go over some of our favorite memories and highlights of doing the podcast over the years. And finally, some sweet and heartfelt messages from a bunch of you. Putti...

Such a pleasure to talk with Dan Fogler, a.k.a. Luke of The Walking Dead, an engaging guest and a man of many talents. Listen in to hear Dan talk about: Whether he agrees with Luke about the importance of art to the development of human civilization. How he ended up on The Walking Dead. How he feels about Luke’s signature blazer. Whether he’s aware that it seems like the show keeps making us think...
