The Walking Dead 'Cast

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Ever since the Australian psychological horror The Babadook came out in 2014, it’s been mentioned as being one of the standout modern horror movies, and we figured it’s about time we watched it. And we’re glad we did. We thought it was a great movie on many levels and we had a great time talking about it. Hope you enjoy! The short film Monster, director Jennifer Kent’s precursor to The Babadook, i...
