The Walking Dead 'Cast

We're sneaking one in under the wire before next week's mid-season premiere! And after having a great talk at Walker Stalker Con with horror icon Robert Englund, how could we not? Join me and special guest Merri as we talk about A Nightmare on Elm Street, one of my favorite classic 80's horror flicks. Then listen in as Mr. Englund goes in-depth about: Behind-the-scenes info on the making of the Ni...

Or more accurately, on Skype everyone can barely hear you podcast. Apologies for the audio being a bit below par this week, but I know you'll still enjoy our lengthy, in-depth talk about Ridley Scott's 1979 Sci-Fi/Horror classic, Alien! Joined by special guest, sci-fi enthusiast and Walker Stalker AV wizard Stefan, we cover that movie, the latest news about TWD (including some significant new rumo...

Bright light! Bright light! I very much enjoyed revisiting this 80's Christmas classic, while Karen's reaction might surprise you. Maybe.

I can't decide if it's more fun when Karen and I agree or disagree about an episode. This week we've got a lot of both as we talk about "Crossed." Also big thanks to Emily Kinney for joining me for an in-depth and longtime coming interview. We talk about her music, her thoughts on art, acting, and using emotion in your art and life, what it's like to smash a jar of lollipops against a man's head,...

A little bonus episode for you—a great, in-depth interview with non-scientist Josh McDermitt. We talk about: An interesting new (to me anyway) fact about how the zombie sounds are made for the show. How he gets into character. More about how much Eugene had thought out his "cure" and the cause of the zombie breakout. What it was like to film the emotional scene where Eugene finally admits he's "NO...

Hope you guys like dogs, because as I'm editing I'm noticing there's one barking in the background through most of this episode. Grrr. In addition to him, we're happy to have a couple other special guests this week—our old friend Doug from episodes long past, and our very favorite voice actress Melissa Hutchison, aka Clementine of Telltale's The Walking Dead! Join the four of us as we get in depth...

This week we got some backstory and some forward movement in the Abraham's Army camp. Yet another divisive episode, but Karen and I dug it (with a few caveats). We fill you in on that, plus some news and your feedback. And big thanks to Grace and Mr. Blahg for an especially meaty Comic Talk segment this week. You can hear them talk about The Walking Dead comic and other great indie comix on the Un...

We have a lot to say about all of it, plus the latest news, Comic Talk from Grace and Mr. Blahg, tons of feedback from you guys, and more, MORE, MORE! (Just kidding, it's not that much more.)

Season five is upon us, and things more more "screwed" up than ever! Join us for an enlightening and fun talk with Andrew J West, who put in an amazing performance this episode as the cold-hearted-yet-complicated Gareth.

Great to be talking about episodes of The Walking Dead again! We had a lot of fun this ep covering S4 eps 1-8 in depth.

Wow, this episode was all over the place. Golden Girls, Weezer, giant underground mutant worms. Preschool. Drunk History. A little Walking Dead news for good measure. We had fun with it and hopefully you will too. I consider it a palate cleanser before we dive headfirst into all things Walking Dead next episode with part one of our Season 4 rewatch (recording on Sept 19). By the way, if you've enj...

In this ep, we break one of the big podcasting commandments, i.e. "Thou shall not ramble." Luckily, we have chapters! So if you don't want to hear us talk about Game of Thrones, Godzilla, Spider-Man, and X-Men for half an hour, skip ahead to hear our thoughts on the George Romero  and Stephen King's classic campy horror anthology flick, Creepshow. Then stick around for the main course, our top fiv...

Bonjour mes amis! After four seasons we decided it's time we finally do a top five list about our favorite things about The Walking Dead, and thankfully it was really hard to keep it to just five (so I cheated and picked ten). You guys all had some really great ones too, btw. Also, we review the moody, eery French TV show, Les Revenants (The Returned), we announce the winners of the Clementine hat...
