The main course of today’s podcast, from 30:33 to 1:08:22, is an interview with Mike Carey, who also wrote the screenplay for the upcoming movie adaptat...

Five years ago today, Karen and I published our first episode of The Walking Dead 'Cast.... Woo HOO! :) It's been fun and fulfilling and challenging too, and we appreciate all y'all for taking this ride with us. This episode, Karen and I reminisce a bit about podcasting highlights over the last five years. But mostly, since Mr. Blahg and Petey Cinderson and I just got back from Comic-Con, the thre...

Big meaty ep this week. If you just want to hear the latest news on TWD and FTWD (and there's plenty of it), listen from 5:03 to 16:53.

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...

I usually like to wait to approach WD newcomers for an interview, but Ross Marquand's character Aaron has been interesting right out of the gate, with lots to talk about.

Why Aaron resisted the apple sauce. His frie...
