Watching Dead: A The Ones Who Live Podcast

Instant cast for episode 412 of The Walking Dead, entitled, “Still”, where the teenage alcohol virgins can drink white lighting with impunity, the sexual tension is non-existent, and the character development at the end is… probably worth the other 30 minutes of treadmill television?  Your mileage may vary, it will be interesting to hear what you guys think! As always, if you like what we do, give...

The Walking Dead got around to doing what The Walking Dead does best, which is create dread, tension, and horror in it’s episode 411, “Claimed”.  Unfortunately, most of the horror and dread came from Eugene’s dress, grooming, and shooting skills.  Join us as we talk about Glenn’s questionable decision to be a bad ass, the thawing of Michonne Glacier National Park, the mechanics of the sleeper hold...

Jim and A.Ron were impressed with the tension in this week’s episode of The Walking Dead, #411 “Claimed”.  Find out what our first impressions were as we break down the three main story threads and get to know our three new characters Abraham, Rosita, and Eugene a little better.  Stay tuned for our full length, full coverage cast Tuesday evening! As always, if you like what we do, give us a shout...

Here at Bald Move, we don’t just say, “this show sucks” when we think a show eats say, multiple bags of dicks.  No, sir!  We lay out the case for it, introduce our evidence, make our closing remarks, and let you, the audience decide.  In this cast, A.Ron apologizes for some hasty comments made in the heat of passion, we praise Steven Yeun and Lauren Cohen, talk about some plot points that we’re en...

Things that were good about this episode: Steven Yeun’s performance.  Glenn armoring up and rolling on out.  Lil’ Asskicker being not dead. Daryl kicking ass pre-credits. Maggie’s desperate search for Glenn IF and ONLY IF you hadn’t seen any previews or teasers.  Everything else was pretty terrible.  Hopefully, Abraham pulling up in his deuce and a half will give the show the spark it needs to rec...

In this episode 409 of AMC’s The Walking Dead, “After”, Carl Jr. becomes a man. Do I have to call him Carl Sr. now? Join me and Jim as we ponder this and other points such as Michonne’s scream, Rick’s zombie acting workshop, eating a truly improbable amount of chocolate pudding, post-apocalyptic shoe selection, and the wisdom of turning down free hot sauce. All this, plus our spoiler section, and...

Welcome back to season four of The Walking Dead. Are you curious about what happens after the Governor brought death and destruction upon the prison at the mid-season finale?

Aaaaaand we’re back!  Ready for action as season four of The Walking Dead resumes this Sunday, Jim and A.Ron talk previews, predictions, and give updates on their Death Olympics odds.  Will Beth go out Singing?  Will Glen and the electric koolaid bus make it back to the group?  Will Tara and Lily return?  Will Lizzie and Mika go crazy and butcher everyone in the group?  We discuss all this, your f...

It was the best of seasons (Internment), it was the worst of seasons (Dead Weight), but while it ended on a very bleak note for our survivors, it nevertheless was a positive and hopeful way to end things from a storytelling and general quality standpoint. Jim and A.Ron are willing to give the Gimple a mulligan on the Governor business, and we have many reasons to look forward to season 4.5. Give o...

Season 4.0 of The Walking Dead ended in thrilling fashion with episode 408, “Too Far Gone”.  We say goodbye to some old friends, and say good riddance to others.  Join Jim and A.Ron as they discuss closing the chapter on the prison era of The Walking Dead, post-apocalyptic motherhood issues, Daryl going tank hunting, the likely fragmentation of our group and where things sit at mid-season close, c...

After the last two week’s distraction from what was going down at the prison, we return in triumphant fashion with the highly entertaining hour of television that was The Walking Dead mid-season four finale, “Too Far Gone”.  And by “triumphant” I mean “a total defeat for everyone concerned,” except for us, the viewer.  Seriously, Daryl killed a tank single handedly.  If you didn’t enjoy that on an...

If you’re a true-blue Walking Dead fan and loved this episode and couldn’t get enough of the Governor or his storyline, this might not be the cast for you. A.Ron straight up hates it, and Jim likes it but only if he grants that the entire two episode arc is an unnecessary distraction from what’s going on with Rick and his group at prison. So yeah. Everybody else, come join us for a bonfire of the...

Not a lot of love from Jim or A.Ron this episode, and some pent up anger over last week’s episode now that we’ve seen Gimple’s plan for the Governor’s character unfold.  Feels like a lot of wasted opportunity over the last two weeks, especially with how much we were all invested into resolving the Carol thread at the prison.  Will we have time to even get to that?  Will it be too late if they defe...

I can’t remember an episode of television this polarizing that we’ve covered, but that’s what you get with The Walking Dead episode 406, “Live Bait.”  People loved it, people hated it, people were extremely confused by it.  What did we think?  Listen and find out, as we discuss the Window of Broken Dreams, the horrors of living with 4 people trapped in an apartment with no indoor plumbing and an e...

What a reversal of fortunes, a week after I almost wanted to write off the rest of the season, Gimple and company come roaring back with what is in this podcaster’s opinion, the best Walking Dead episode of the season so far.  What did we like?  What worked?  What didn’t work?  Find out as we discuss Hershel’s heroics, Rick’s gun farm, the incredibly brittle Georgian wood, Steinbeck and Twain, Liz...

Jim and A.Ron review a powerhouse, although still problematic around the edges, episode of The Walking Dead, “Internment”.  Find out our off the cuff observations and thoughts about Hershel’s heroics, the Grimes and Son wrecking crew, Carolgate fallout, and the return of a rather polarizing character.

Get ready for our full coverage of episode 404 of The Walking Dead, “Indifference”.

Find out, as we discuss the Walker Stalker Con, annoying hippies, Tyreese being a total dick, Bob’Angelo’s not so deep, dark secr...

Jim and I recorded our first “instant take” podcast for season four of “The Walking Dead”, for episode 401 – “30 Days Without an Accident”.  While we have some quibbles here and there, we’re in agreement that this was a pretty darn good episode of The Walking Dead!  We get to slow down and have a bit of nice character moments, we’re introduced to some new and varied threats, and they even squeeze...
