The Walking Dead 'Cast

Ricky-dicky-doo-da is back! As bleak as this episode was (and it was seriously bleak), it was such a joy to see Rick and Michonne on our screens again. This ep had a lot going on and we hope you guys enjoy our breakdown. Next up: We’ll most likely be doing a feedback episode in a couple days, so send in your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to talk@podcastica.com. Or check out our F...

If you guys are like us, you can’t help but be excited for the return of Michonne and Rick freaking Grimes! We spend this episode getting ready for the new show by going over some of the things we especially love about these two characters, and also we catch you up quickly on everything you need to know plot-wise to be ready for The Ones Who Live. Never got around to watching World Beyond? We got...

It’s the classic 1985 zombie comedy, The Return of the Living Dead, the first movie where the zombies said “Braaaiiiinnnns!” And it’s also the return of Karen! I can’t believe Karen and I never covered this one before. It was a blast to talk it through with her and Lucy, and to just kind of let the conversation go wherever it wanted. Hope you enjoy :)After this we’re getting ready for TWD: The One...

Bonus ep! Thought you guys might like to check out Podcastica's first improv podcast, set (of course) in the zombie apocalypse, featuring Randy, Jenny, Robert, and special guests making their way through the walking-dead-infested landscape as best they can.

We’re thrilled to be joined this week by listener Dina to talk about this Daryl-Dixolicious episode ;) P.S. Don’t look behind you, it’s a chupacabra :oTrailer for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_kTUnzp5ng Check out Dina’s romance novels!: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dina-Keratsis/author/B002BLU538?ref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingP...

Man, these episodes take on a new flavor when you’ve spent a lot of time with the characters and know how things turn out. I won’t spoil the whole podcast, but I (Jason) always thought Daryl’s Cherokee Rose speech was cheesy, and now I just think it’s really sweet.

An iconic episode of The Walking Dead this week, maybe the first big “holy shit” moment, and a turning point for the series and definitely for Shane. What do you think? Was Shane right or wrong? Lucy and Jason are joined by Karen Shih to talk it through. As always, we want your feedback (and zombie sounds) as we go back through The Walking Dead. Next episode: The Walking Dead S2E4 “Cherokee Rose”...

So great to see the first appearance of the Greene family, with Maggie galloping in and saving the day with her bat (!), and Hershel confidently using his veterinarian skillz to save poor little Carl. As capable and confident as they are, that’s how broken down Rick is. Poor dude. Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it. Just send them to theca...

On to TWD season 2, and even though a few characters are starting to get pretty annoying, it was a delight to revisit this premiere and to see some of it in a new light.

They’ll thank you for it :) If you’re in a Walking Dead Facebook group (or any other WD group), let...

After wrapping TWD season 1, take a quick detour over to Japan with us for the acclaimed 2017 Japanese zombie head-trip of a movie, One Cut of the Dead. The movie is available to stream on AMC+ and Shudder, and you can rent or buy it on other platforms. And we do recommend checking it out before listening to the podcast, and make sure to keep watching past the 37-minute mark….Plus, it’s been awhil...

It’s the end of season one with this rather strange episode in the history of TWD, with themes of sexual assault and suicide in this weirdly super-high-tech facility with the lone scientist who seems to know more about the ZA than anyone. Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it. Just send them to thecastofus.com. They’ll thank you for it :) If...

It’s the aftermath of the zombie attack on camp, and the group is shaken and has a bunch of decisions to make, like weather to kill Jim just because he was bitten, whether to go to an army base or the CDC, and in Shane’s case, whether to shoot his best friend so he can have a shot with his wife. What a stand up guy. Glad to be joined by Peter this week to help Lucy and me talk it out! Want to help...

If you’re a fan of Fear the Walking Dead, well… honestly you should probably skip this one, but lemme tell you, we had a blast recording it :) We’re thrilled to be joined by our favorite FTWD critic, Erik Kain, whose scathingly accurate reviews at Forbes you may have heard Lucy and I fawning over throughout the years. Erik helped us send FTWD off in appropriate fashion, along with a bunch of catha...

So fun to be re-evaluating these episodes. We both liked this one better on rewatch and found it had more depth and humor than we realized before. But we always appreciated the first time we saw a zombie bite or kill anyone, even though we were both sad to see Amy go (but of course not Ed). Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it. Just send the...

Look at all those baby faces! It’s the first appearance of Carol and Daryl this week, and we see them in a new light considering how much they’ve changed and grown over the years since. I mean, Daryl’s sipping champagne in Paris on the regular nowadays, and Carol will put out a fire with yo face.

We’re not sure what’s worse, smearing zombie guts all over you or having to listen to Merle’s bull$#!t. Equally shocking though in this super-fun-to-talk-about second ep of our rewatch! Check out Lucy on the Vulgar History podcast: https://pca.st/r4sd96baPick up one of listener Dina’s romance novels on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dina-Keratsis/author/B002BLU538?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rd...

Happy Halloween! Happy 13th anniversary of The Walking Dead (13 years is brains, we’re pretty sure)! And welcome to the start of our Walking Dead rewatch! Rarrr!!! It was such a pleasure to revisit TWD S1E1 “Days Gone Bye” and find that it’s as fantastic an episode of television as we remembered, and also to explore how our perspective on it has changed now that we’ve seen the whole series and we’...

Very nice to tie up Daryl season 1 with some listener feedback. Merci to everyone who followed along, and hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did. Très bon! Now, on to The Walking Dead rewatch!

Just...

D’accord, Daryl, la première saison, c'est fini! What a fun show. Lucy and I had a blast covering it and we’re glad so many of you were so engaged with it and sent in your feedback and thoughts. Merci beaucoup tout le monde! A bunch of cool announcements this week, so please check them out below:Come meet me (Jason) and a bunch of other Zedheads this Friday, October 20, at the High Street Place Fo...

Crazy episode this week, with flashbacks and lots of story reveals and drama and action amped up to 11. Trés bon! Warning: In honor of all the F-bombs, we start this ep with a little lesson on French profanity, so be ready for that. And big thanks to Tiphaine for pointing us to this video on swearing in French! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtEibBLAuws&t=624s Next episode: Feedback for TWD: Dary...
