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 Ones Who Live, and as always, we’d love to hear what you guys think.

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.

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.

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 awhile since we talked about any news on The Last of Us, and there is some, so we talk about it!You might be wondering why Lucy and I aren’t covering Return of the Living Dead as we had planned, and that’s because Lucy is out sick :( Hoping she’ll feel better ASAP.

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.

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.

Reposted from Ben's Wilhelm podcast, which you can find at wilhelmpodcast.com and @wilhelmpodcast on socials.---BARBENHEIMER: Wilhelm Reviews "Oppenheimer"Welcome to Wilhelm and it's time for another Movie Review / Film Breakdown. This time, I am joined by Revisited Podcast co-host and great friend Kristin for this second part of the BARBENHEIMER Crossover with Podcastica to cover the brand new Christophher Nolan masterpiece, "Oppenheimer".

So if you have yet to see the movie, do yourself the biggest favor and stop right here, find the biggest screen you can, watch the film, then come back and listen!If you haven't already, make sure you are subscribed to Wilhelm by visiting wilhelmpodcast.com.

Here’s a little pinkified palate cleanser for y’all - it’s Kara, Penny, and Jason talking Barbie! If you haven’t tuned in to the cultural phenom that is the new Barbie movie yet, it was directed and co-written by Greta Gerwig, who usually does smart, character-focused indie movies like Lady Bird and Frances Ha, and we thought she was such an inspired choice for this surprisingly complex, layered, funny, incredibly beautiful, thought-provoking movie. This podcast is full of spoilers, so if you’re at all interested, we recommend you bust out your pinkest duds and go check out the movie first, and then come back and listen.Be sure to check out Kara’s other podcast, Perfectly Marvelous, which is about to start coverage of Only Murders in the Building.

Beautifully art-directed episode this week, with an old-timey riverboat floating in the misty night among the jagged trees and the dead. And we get a little mystery story, and more color on what led Dee to become Alpha, with Samantha Mortan putting in another fantastic performance.Happy to be joined this week by Jonathan Bookallil, who you may have heard recently as one of my cohosts on the Obi-Wan Kenobi podcast. Come to the WD finale party!

What a weird episode this week, and it didn’t even seem like it was part of the Walking Dead universe? What was the point of that? (Wait, let me go back in time a few seconds and try that again….)What a charming episode this week, so fun, quirky, and funny, with the talented Parker Posey and Jillian Bell playing so well off of each other.

It’s another Walking Dead spinoff! Join me and fellow Zedhead Sadie as we talk through the first ep of the new Walking Dead anthology series, Tales of the Walking Dead.

Hey all! Happy to be joined this week by one of my Yellowjackets cohosts, Penny. As the final eight episodes of our beloved series loom in the near future, we thought we’d chat a bit about our overall feelings about The Walking Dead. We talk about our favorite era of the show, favorite characters, where we thought the series most went wrong, predictions for the end of the series, and our thoughts on the spinoffs. And for the main event, it’s yet another Korean zombie thing, namely the excellent 2020 movie #Alive. It’s a simple movie, and it really gave me those old zombie goosebumps! Definitely recommend checking it out. You can catch it on Netflix.Thanks to our sponsor, Comixology Unlimited where you can get immediate access to 40k+ comics. Very cool!

If you haven’t yet checked out Netflix’ Korean historical zombie thriller, Kingdom, you are seriously missing out. It’s so beautifully designed and staged, with incredible rage-zombie action, and Game-of-Thrones-style political intrigue, backstabbing, and shocking twists. Lucy and I are pleased to have Kingdom fan (and Lucy’s partner) Peter on to talk through the second season.

You could say Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, directed by Sam Raimi of the Evil Dead movies and so much more, is Marvel’s version of a horror movie, with demons, dark magic, and at least one very prominent zombie, and so we thought why not talk about it on the Walking Dead ‘Cast! Yeah the movie had a problem or two, but there was so much we loved about it, and so much to talk about.Thrilled to be joined by my recent Moon Knight ‘Cast cohost Kirk Manley for this one, who knows so much about the history of Marvel comics, and of course is a fantastic artist in his own right.

This episode strolled through my door like a zombie shambles towards it’s prey, cold hearted and looking to take a bite out of me. It flashed me a beautiful smile, the kind of smile that could make you go blind. But it was like the front page of the paper, probably bad news.

Kind of jarring going from such an action-packed episode last week to a study on classism and the effects of materialism on society, but we loved the episode and there was a lot of conversation to be had!

This interview with the wonderful Ross Marquand (Aaron) happened all because of The Sexton Single Malt and their brand new Walking-Dead-branded bottle of single malt Irish whiskey, which Ross is helping them promote and which you can pre-order right here: https://www.reservebar.com/products/the-sexton-single-malt-x-the-walking-dead-limited-edition Highly recommend checking that out! As always, it was awesome to talk with Ross. It was a quick interview, but we managed to cover some interesting topics like: What current-day Aaron would say to early Aaron. What it was like to film the intense late-season-10 episode “One More” with Gabriel and Mays (Robert Patrick). Whether he asked Angela Kang to change or add anything for Aaron. Whether his prosthetic arm comes off and on easily or needs to stay on all day during filming? How he’s feeling now the the end of The Walking Dead is in sight, and how he thinks he’s going to feel at the very end. And more!

It’s the series finale of the Walking Dead spinoff we’ve come to love, Walking Dead: World Beyond. Probably the worst thing we can say about this episode (and the series as a whole) is that it left us wanting more. Also, Lucy and I are a bit split on this week’s FTWD. Plus, we talk quite a bit about the latest big news: Kim Dickens will be returning to FTWD for season 8. Crazy! Thanks to everyone who listened along with us for our coverage of World Beyond (and our FTWD rants), whether you were also watching the show or not :) It’s been fun!

It was a thrill to talk with Paola Lázaro about playing our favorite new Walking Dead character, Princess! She was even cooler than we thought she’d be (and we thought she’d be really cool). We covered a lot, including: What she loves about playing Princess. How she approached the character when she started. How she’s similar to Princess. What it was like to film her season 10C episode.

Great episode this week. Quite the contrast among the storylines, with Eugene eating ice cream over in the pleasant (yet slightly creepy) Commonwealth while Aaron tortures a man with a zombie in the decimated remains of Hilltop. We’re joined this week by artist Kirk Manley, who’s getting ready to release a new round of his famous Walking Dead tribute posters, featuring favorites from TWD S10 and 11. The plan is to release two posters a day, six total, on Fri, Sat, and Sun, Sep 24-26 at studiokm.com. CONTEST: You can win ALL SIX of Kirk’s TWD tribute posters by doing the following: • Anytime between Fri Sep 24 and Sun Sep 26, publish a tweet mentioning the contest, and include both the URL studiokm.com and #twdtributeartweekend. • Be sure to tweet it out during that weekend, and include both the website URL and the hashtag, and you’ll have a chance to win.

Nothing like a little violent religious extremism to brighten up your day, right? Well, this wasn’t our favorite episode, but it did have its moments, and Lucy and I had a fun time talking about the show, as always. Hope you enjoy. PS I can’t believe I forgot to mention what a great episode of “What If…?” It was this week. Zombie superheroes!!! Even if you don’t usually watch that show, you might get a kick out of this one.

This ep reminded me of times early on in The Walking Dead when characters would make perplexingly frustrating moral choices. Ah, nostalgia.

It’s the first episode of the FINAL SEASON OF THE WALKING DEAD!!! That’s heavy man. At least it was a great one, in our opinion, with thrills, laughs, and classic Walking Dead moral dilemmas.

So great to look back on some of the moments that stood out in our minds over the course of The Walking Dead. And there are so many amazing moments to choose from! It just really drives home what a great show this is that we’ve all chosen to spend so much of our time on. I think you guys are really going to enjoy this one :) P.S.

Welp, if there’s one thing we can say about this episode, it’s that it made it clear we’ve made the right decision to stop covering this show. Yep, FTWD S6E16 “The Beginning” is the end of our coverage of Fear, and in usual fashion, Lucy and I had a lot of fun ranting about the episode :) Hope you guys enjoy, and we’ll see you in a couple weeks or so.

Okay, it was fun to see zombies on a submarine, so points to FTWD for showing us something new. And thank you for doing that other thing that we’ve been hoping you’d do!! Other than that, we thought this episode was…. typical. Also, glad to be joined this week by longtime Zedhead Mark Kirkman, and we also interviewed our friend Nuclear Machinist Mate Chief Greg Schwamb, who spent time stationed on various submarines and had some interesting thoughts on this week’s episode.

This may just be the most depressing episode of Fear the Walking Dead yet. And that’s saying something. Remember that time Alicia and a bunch of people were trapped in a basement and she had to euthanize the ones who were bitten? Or how about when Madison died? For many of us, this is worse (and man, just thinking back on those moments, what a bleak show). Anyway, I’m grateful to be joined this week by Rima to help me and all you guys get through it!

Amazing episode this week, showing Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s range portraying all the aspects of the complex character of Negan (and because it’s Negan, there’s a lot to talk about). And it was wonderful to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s real-life wife Hilarie Burton-Morgan kicking so much ass playing Negan’s wife Lucille.

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 the two of us ran projectors in a movie theater 10 years before Fight Club ever came out (I promise we never spliced porno frames into kids’ movies).  Support: patreon.com/jasoncabassi or buymeacoffee.com/cabassi for a one-time donation (thank you!)

Finally, it’s the season 10 finale-not-a-finale! Now we know why there was so much production work needed: zombie lemmings.

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, and a lot of people are still owed refunds and payments. And James is here to talk about all facets of Walker Stalker Con: how it started, what it was like to run it, what went wrong, and what recourse people who were affected may have.

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.

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 Luke is about to die. What he thought about the end of The Walking Dead comic series. The upcoming Heavy-Metal-inspired comics that Dan has written, Brooklyn Gladiator (with Simon Bisley of Lobo fame!), Fishkill (with Ben Templesmith of 30 Days of Night!), and Moon Lake.

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 Part II. How do we think it compares? You’ll have to listen to find out :) By the way, we have a like 30-minute non-spoilery segment, and like a 45-minute super-spoilery-AF segment, in case you haven't finished yet and don't want to know what happens.

We’re joined this week by Chris and Jason of the Talking Dead podcast. To shake things up, we put out a call for topics and you guys delivered! We have a long list, and we hadn’t seen any of them until we recorded. Some of the topics we cover: Whether we prefer Star Wars or The Walking Dead. Challenges and positive things that have surfaced during this pandemic. Who would be our dream interviews. Turning points in our lives. The time police officers burst into Jason’s apartment. Our favorite shows as kids, and of the last few years. What we’re binging during quarantine. Whether cheesecake is a cake or a pie. C-3PO or R2-D2 for a quarantine companion? Whether we’ve seen The Kingdom. Toilet paper in the zombie apocalypse. Favorite places we’ve ever been. Whether Scotland should gain independence. Our favorite and least favorite seasons of The Walking Dead.

Ah Michonne, we're going to miss you. What a fierce character. I'll never forget when she stabbed out the Governor's eye with a shard of glass. She always had a sense about who to trust and who not to. And she was such a badass with that katana. We had some pretty mixed feelings about Michonne's sendoff episode, and frankly we think she deserved better, but the episode had some cool things about it, and we have a feeling we might be seeing more of Michonne's katana work sometime down the road.

Here's the most recent episode of our normally Patreon-exclusive Jason & Karen Show podcast. Karen and I are both longtime fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation and we were excited to talk about the new series Star Trek: Picard. We spent about half of it reminiscing about Next Generation :) But even if you're not into Star Trek, skip ahead to hear us shamelessly judge a bunch of random things, many of them submitted by you guys this time, plus a particularly fun Stuff That's Great segment, and a pop-up topic from Meagan Gushulak.

Some amazing video games came out in the 2010s and Ben Beck of Next Level Radio is with me to count down our top 10 games of the decade -- plus games we're curious about but didn't get around to playing, and games we're looking forward to. And, Skydance Interactive is about to put out The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, an incredible looking VR game set in a flooded post-apocalyptic New Orleans, where you get to play out your fantasies of what you'd actually do in the ZA. I think you're really going to enjoy the conversation I had about the game with creative director Adam Grantham (starts at 1:37:58).

And now for something completely different: This episode I'm so very pleased to talk with two amazing friends who I've met through my involvement with TWD, Walking Dead novelist Jay Bonansinga and Clementine voice actress Melissa Hutchison! We talk all about how being involved in the world of The Walking Dead has impacted our lives, among other things. And to continue the theme of being a fan of TWD and then getting involved to a greater level, I talk with author Neil Cohen about his book Business Is Dead: Resurrecting Entrepreneurship Through the Fan-Focused Venture. You'll learn about a varied group of people who've each turned their Walking-Dead-related hobby or passion into a business. Plus we talk a little about Neil's zombie novel trilogy inspired by his experience working in government agencies supporting emergency management and counterterrorism.

Intense episode this week. Though the Whisperers suffer a loss, I feel like their plan to chip away at the foundation of Alexandrian society is succeeding, and our friends are shaken, paranoid, fearful, and ready to go off like a loaded gun.

Quite a few of you guys wrote in saying something like "I'm sure other people won't like this episode, but I did!" Well, turns out Cindi did too, and maybe she'll talk Lucy into it as well.

AMC's The Walking Dead, and also this podcast, owe their existence to the Walking Dead comic, and so the sudden ending of that comic about a month ago marks a huge moment for all of us WD fans. Join Lucy, Derek, and me as we mark the occasion by talking to the one and only Charlie Adlard, illustrator of The Walking Dead comic! As illustrator, Charlie has been a crucial and enormous factor in how The Walking Dead turned out (both the comic and the show). We talk with Charlie about: His thoughts about the plot of the final issue and how things ended for all the characters. Inking the final issue himself. How he feels now that it’s over. Keeping the fact that the book was ending a surprise, and doing fake preview covers to help with that. Who was hardest and easiest to draw aged up in the final issue. Whether he’s ever thought about going back and redrawing the first six issues. Whether he’ll do more Walking Dead comics. What's next for Charlie. Plus a lot more. Look for Charlie's next comic, Vampire State Building, in comic shops in the US on Sep 18 (and available in France now). https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/JUL191360 This podcast is made possible by listeners like you (and you too) who have supported us at patreon.com/jasonandkaren.

Our third annual Comic-Con and WD trailer extravaganza, and damn there was a ton of stuff that came out of Comic Con this year, a lot of it really interesting. Maybe this year I finally picked some things to talk about that'll end up being good.... Anyway, join me, Rima, and Shawn as we talk about the TWD/FTWD trailers, news, and all the pop-culture goodness that we're excited about. Cnet did a great thing and put all the trailers that came out of Comic-Con on a single web page here.

IMO this week's FTWD was one of the worst episodes of anything in the entire Walking Dead universe thus far. Stinker!! But I and guest hosts Pake and Megan make lemonade out of these sour lemons by suspending our usual habit of approaching the show from a place of appreciation and instead we have fun full-on thrashing it! (And okay, Pake and Megan actually managed to find a few good things too.) Hope you enjoy. Note: I (Jason) am considering finishing out the half-season on this show and then just doing one FTWD-related podcast every eight episodes. Then maybe we'll pick up a different show during the TWD hiatus, or cover movies. Let me know if you have thoughts about that.

As E.T. would say, ooouuuch. We couldn't let recent events in The Walking Dead comic go by without some acknowledgment and discussion on the podcast.

Here it is, the first episode of The Jason & Karen Show. We think it's delightfully random, and fun, and it's filled with stuff we're interested in, and nothing we're not. You guys said you'd listen to us talk about anything. Here you go! :) In this particular episode we talk about the freakin’ hilarious FX vampire comedy, What We Do in the Shadows, plus the Impossible Burger, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland, Data-from-Star-Trek’s inability to use contractions, X-Men, our cats, the merits of death, and whether Columbine High should be torn down, among other things. Like any good potent dopamine booster, this first one is free. To hear subsequent episodes, you gotta sign up for Patreon at the $5 level or above at patreon.com/jasonandkaren. We'll have another episode out in a week or so covering the new Jim Jarmusch/Bill Murry zed movie, The Dead Don't Die (and other fun stuff). And to get serious for a second, this podcast is a patron exclusive as a thank you to all you guys supporting our podcasting, and as a perk to get more of you on board so we can keep doing it.

The Walking Dead game series originally by Telltale has wrapped, and I thought the final installment, detailing the end of Clementine's story, was intense, moving, fun, scary, emotionally gripping, and just a fantastic ending for the game. So good! I'm stoked to have my friend Melissa on to talk about it. We talked about: How Melissa feels now that the game is finished. Details of what happened with Telltale's collapse and how the game got finished after that. Behind-the-scenes info on the creation of the game. New experiences for Clementine in the game, like romance, acting as a parent (a role-reversal from the first season of the game), finding out first-hand what it would be like to be a whisperer, and a lot more Whether zombies still have souls? What Melissa would like to see for Clementine's future. Some great questions from you guys. Plus, we cover our top three non-pop-culture-related interests (we were both happy to discover we do actually have at least three).

A quick bonus ep for you guys, it's Matt Lintz aka Henry! As you guys all know, I've been rooting for Henry this season, and it was great to talk with Matt about his take on the character, Henry's frame of mind, and his motivations this season. I also asked him about what it's like being in a family with two other actors from The Walking Dead, and much more! My biggest regret: I forgot to ask for his zombie sound! Okay, I'm a little rusty.

John Jason, Rich, and Chris (yep, it's an Evil Dead 'Cast reunion!) for our surprisingly diverse lists of top five favorite TV shows from the last 10 years. There's been an explosion of TV content in recent years, and so it was a challenge for us to come up with lists of our top five favorite shows from the last decade - so we cheated by having tons of Honorable Mentions :) Plus, some news, and your picks too.

When TWD is off air, Karen and I like to podcast about some of our other favorite things, and one thing we both love is Coen Brothers movies. We rank this latest one, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (available on Netflix), right up there with the best! If you haven't seen it, you're missing out (but prepare to have your heart broken a couple of times). Intelligent, beautifully filmed, with the blackest of dark humor, the purest innocence and beauty, and everything in between. Plus, we cover news about TWD and pop culture, and talk Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with special guest Nico Cabassi.

Karen and I moderated Tom's first post-Jesus panel at Fan Fest/Walker Stalker San Jose this weekend, and it was a lot of fun. You'll hear his thoughts on whether Jesus might appear in a flashback, how to play dead, his perspective on Jesus' story arc, and much much more.

I was expecting to be paying my respects to Rick Grimes this week. Was going to start the podcast off with a sad song in honor of my favorite character passing on. What an unexpected (at least for me) twist! Holy shit. I was blown away. I have mixed feelings, strong on both sides. Karen couldn't be here for this one, but we'll find out what she thinks next week. That said, I'm really glad Lucy was able to do this episode with me. And thanks for all your feedback! I knew it would be a big week for feedback :) You guys have strong feelings on both sides too. Hope you guys enjoy the podcast. And thank you SO MUCH to all you who vote today!

FTWD is back and I'm looking at it as if it's a new show that happens to have the same name as that old show I liked (and a couple of similar characters...). Under that lens, I thought this ep was pretty great, and Lucy liked it too. Listen in as we talk it over. Plus, our opinions on Hardwick.

Classic WDC fun this week as Jason and Karen laugh our way through a dissection of the disturbing, creepy-ass movie, Hereditary (in theaters now). We had a few complaints, but mostly we really liked this movie and recommend you check it out if you like scary movies. We have a cool initiative brewing for some of you guys, the Podcastica Culture Club. I have some ideas, and I need your help to know where to focus, and to gauge interest. So, if you could take a minute to fill out a survey about it, I'd be grateful. It's at walkingdeadcast.com/survey. Thanks!

To be honest, I'm a little burnt out on zombies, so we wouldn't just be covering any old zed movie during the hiatus - but Cargo, the Australian zombie movie starring Martin Freeman and a baby, based on the 7-minute short film of the same name that Karen and I covered and liked several years ago, is good! I recommend checking it out. It's available on Netflix. I think most Walking Dead fans will dig it. Then join me, Rima, and Shawn for our coverage. Plus, Rima and Shawn announce the next show they'll be covering on Strange Indeed. I'm starting up a new initiative. I think it's going to be called the Podcastica Culture Club, and it'll have a bunch of cool perks. I have a lot of ideas, but I need your help to know where to focus, and to gauge interest.

Last weekend while Lucy and Lara were hosting the podcast (and doing an amazing job at it, I might add), I was at Walker Stalker Nashville hosting a great panel with a bunch of the cast members of FTWD, including Kevin Zegers (Mel), Daniel Sharman (Troy), Danay Garcia (Luciana), Jenna Elfman (Naomi), Colman Domingo (Strand), and Kim Dickens (Madison).

A packed and varied episode this week, with my and Nico's reviews of Black Panther, plus the return of Marc and Abi of Issimo from the UK! The three of us talk about the current state of The Walking Dead, mostly via haiku, and also a rousing discussion of the historical place of violence in the formation of civilized society and how that relates to TWD. Plus, we answer questions that Scott Gimple asked the fans, like whether we think the show portrays people as basically good or bad, what nightmares the show has given us, and which characters we identify with the most, among others. All that, plus a live performance of Let's Just Wait from Issimo's upcoming album, The Adventures of Issimo! You can preorder that album now by going to pledgemusic.com/projects/issimo.

First off, this episode was recorded before the passing of George Romero, and we both want to express our condolences to his family and friends and all the fans. Let's face it, Romero is the reason any of this is happening. TWD would not exist without him. We're so sad to hear of his passing, and we're thankful for his work.  We also want to give condolences to family, friends, and co-workers of Walking Dead stunt man John Bernecker who died in an accident on set last week. Our heart goes out to all you guys.  Now, The Thing. Neither Karen or Jason had seen this horror classic, and since so many of you excitedly suggested we cover it, we both hoped we'd like it.

Minimal. Creepy. Seductive. Highly disturbing. But enough about my guest cohost this week, Harry Duran, let's talk about the movie we're covering, Under the Skin, starring Scarlett Johansson :P It was all those things, and also, we thought, incredibly thought-provoking and well made—and it's crazy the movie used footage from hidden cameras filming Scarlett Johansson actually picking up men.

This ep we read all your haiku and describe your photos from the Fracture contest, and reveal the winner (who gets a $100 Fracture gift certificate). Karen and I were seriously delighted and moved by those. Thank you to everyone who entered. Also, we talk about the film version of The Girl with All the Gifts, which you can rent on iTunes or Amazon if you want to watch it first. And we cover some news, and do our usual goofing around. ANNOUNCEMENT I'm thinking of setting a new goal for Patreon. If we make it to $1000/month, I'll do something embarrassing. But I haven't figured out what that is yet.

I have fun with all the panels I host for Walker Stalker, but every once in awhile, one stands out as really special, and this is one of those.

A big giant thank you to Walker Stalker head honcho James Frazier for letting us play this. Want to see some of these panels in person sometime? Check out walkerstalkercon.com!

Ep 225, our longest yet! It's basically two or three episodes in one. First, The Blair Witch Project is a polarizing movie. If you were as freaked out by it as we were, come relive the horror. For those who didn't get what all the fuss was about, or outright hated it, hope you listen in and hear why it had such and impact on me and Karen. Besides that, get the latest news about all things TWD, a lengthy impassioned talk about our top five TV recommendations (plus what we're most looking forward to), some great feedback from you guys, my experience at Podcast Movement and Walker Stalker New Jersey, and more!

If you could have any object from any movie or TV show and it would work just like it did in the movie, what would it be? Karen and I had a blast thinking and talking about this, and you guys had some great answers too. Also, an in-depth discussion about whether it's realistic how many bad guys have appeared in TWD – I bring up the open-world post-apocalyptic game Rust as a real-world (of sorts) case study. Plus, we review Jim Jarmusch's moody, funny indie vampire love story starring Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton.

Now for something completely different!

For months now you’ve heard me go on and on about Mike Carey’s zombie novel, The Girl With All the Gifts. It’s one of my favorite books in any genre, and I’ve gotten messages of thanks from a lot of you smart people who took my advice and read it. 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 adaptation. Mike talks about:• How the idea for the novel came about.• What it was like being on set and working on the movie.• His thoughts on writing from a child’s perspective.• Director Colm McCarthy’s commitment to hiring a diverse cast for the movie.• His thoughts on the ending of the book.• How you can read an additional chapter of the book online.• A tease about his next book, Fellside, due out next April.• And much more! Mike is as well spoken as he is a terrific writer, and I know all you TGWATG fans will dig this. And if you haven’t read the book yet, we tried to keep things spoiler-light in the first several minutes of the interview. In the meantime, here’s our Amazon link: The Girl With All the Gifts Also in this episode, Karen gives her thoughts on the recent trailers for FTWD and TWD S6, plus news, and your terrific feedback! Please shop Amazon (walkingdeadcast.com/amazon) to support The Walking Dead 'Cast. It costs the same for you when you use that link, but we get a small kickback.

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. And Ross and I covered a lot of it in this episode. We talked about: His thoughts on the fan reaction to Aaron and Eric being gay. How it was to film the scene when Rick punched Aaron. Why Aaron resisted the apple sauce. His friendship with Jordan Woods-Robinson, who plays Eric. And a lot more. Let us know what you think! Don't get cold-cocked....

Also big thanks to Emily Kinney for joining me for an in-depth and longtime coming interview.

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 "NOT A SCIENTIST!" His resting bitch face. Whether Karen or I was right about whether Eugene saw that Abraham was about to off himself when they first met. And a bunch more.

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 contest, give the latest news, respond to your feedback, and more! Fargo anyone?! One thing I forgot to mention in the show, we'd appreciate it if you would take a minute to answer this demographics survey: http://survey.libsyn.com/deadcast A few things about it:* It'll help us with advertising and it will literally take less than 60 seconds. I bet you could finish it in less than 10, actually.* We're proud to only advertise stuff we genuinely like (so far that's been Audible and Fracture), and we plan to keep it that way. This will hopefully allow us to do more of that.* We see advertising as a way of keeping the podcast free.* It's completely anonymous. There's a space to put in your email address, but you don't have to. That part is optional. If you do, only Karen and I will have access to it and we won't give it to anyone else.* We need at least 250 of you to complete this for it to be effective. So thank you! Also, the baby goat wants you to do it :) Here's the URL again: http://survey.libsyn.com/deadcast Look for us again in a couple of weeks when we do our annual season wrap-up crossover with Chris and Jason of The Talking Dead!

In the aftermath of all the carnage at the prison, we were thrilled to see TWD find it's way back to the quiet, measured, dreamlike feel of the series pilot in this coming-of-age episode. At least, that's our opinion. Listen in and see if you agree. Also this episode we announce the winner of our Walking Dead Hawaii poster contest, and you can also find out how to win a three-day pass to the quickly approaching Walker Stalker Con in Chicago (Mar 14-16). Also we have the introduction of Gracie Lou and Mr. Blahg as hosts of Comic Talk, their analysis of how this episode was similar and different to the comic, some news, information about next week's episode, and some fantastic messages from you guys!

Season 4.5 is nearly upon us and we're excited to see what happens with the group all separated and vulnerable. This episode join Karen, Jason, and special guests Kirk Manley and Jeff Marsick, artist and writer of the insane zombie adventure comic Z Girl and the 4 Tigers, as we talk about all our hopes for the upcoming episodes (the guys' hopes generally involving gore, death, and extreme suffering, and Karen's involving picturesque zombieless islands and togetherness). As a special bonus, Kirk and Jeff give some great and sometimes surprising recommendations for zombie comics they think you should be reading, and we give you the latest news, read your emails, and yes, after three and a half years of podcasting, Karen and I finally reveal how we met. Don't miss it! Oh yeah, and don't forget to enter our new contest to win a Kirk-Manley-illustrated Walking Dead Hawaii poster and the first four issues of Z Girl!

First off, THANK YOU ALL for voting in the Podcast Awards and winning us an award for best Entertainment podcast in 2013!!! Woo hoo! We did it!! We were up against some heavy competition (Star Trek, Kevin Smith, and Taylor Swift), and winners in other categories included some of the podcast greats (This American Life, Radio Lab, and Grammar girl, to name a few). So thank you, and congratulations to you guys too, because we're all in this together :) Join us this episode as we celebrate and talk future plans for the podcast. We also review The Conjuring, the popular, critically lauded spooky ghost flick from this last year, and of course we go over the latest news about The Walking Dead and respond to your feedback.

First Hershel and now this. Lots of goodbyes on this podcast. Join me, Karen and special guests Lissy and Chad to bid a fond farewell to this amazing show, Breaking Bad, and give you all our thoughts about the final eight episodes and the series in general. For good measure, Karen and I stick around to throw in some news about TWD and respond to the latest batch of feedback from you guys.

And now for something a little different! At your request (well, some of ya anyway) we're spinning off our Under the Comic Covers segments into their own episodes, and here's the first one. In this episode, Mr. Blahg, Gracie Lou, and special guest, me, review The Walking Dead issue #118, the fourth issue in the current All Out War mega-arc. This episode is entirely about the comic book, so if you're not caught up and don't want to be spoiled on it, hang tight and we'll catch you in a few. And by the way, this doesn't mean Karen and I will be podcasting any less than usual. It just means each time a new issue of the comic is releases, you comic lovers will get a bonus.

It was a genuine privilege for Karen and I to be able to talk with Scott Wilson after his momentous exit from The Walking Dead last week, and he was as sweet and charming as ever. Listen in as he talks about:* What it was like to film his death scene.* What Hershel would say to Maggie and Beth if he had the chance.* What he'll miss most about TWD and whether he'll keep watching.* What he wants to do next.* And a lot more (including, yes, a lot of gushing from us). Enjoy, and we'll be back later this month to talk Breaking Bad! Thanks to those of you who gave us ideas for interview questions on Facebook (we're at facebook.com/deadcast if you didn't know).

Two men important to TWD fell this week in the stunning climax to the half-season. Join us in this extra-long podcast as we go into detail about our thoughts. Lots to talk about re: the comic this week too: In Comic Talk Jaden goes over the many similarities between this ep and the comic, and throws in a few informed predictions. And Gracie Lou and Mr. Blahg go Under the Comic Covers to give you their review of issue #117, released last week. All that and a ton of great email and calls from you guys, many of whom wrote in for the first time. Thanks all, we appreciate each and every one of you. Catch us in a few weeks when our good friend Lissy joins us to review the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad (and rewatch 'em along with us in the meantime). And we'll do a couple more episodes in January and then be back for the second half of TWD S4 in early Feb. Happy holidays everybody. Peace.

I've been enjoying Chad Coleman's measured portrayal of Tyreese, this multi-faceted character who with his hammer and his wool cap seemed to have burst straight out of the pages of the comic this season, especially once he became activated by Karen's death. It was a pleasure to speak with Chad as he thoughtfully answered everything we wanted to know. Join me and special guest Brittany as we find out things like:* What Tyreese would've done if he had found out Carol killed Karen before she left the prison (his answer might surprise you—it did me).* What it was like to film that crazy scene by the road where Tyreese hammers his way through a massive crowd of zeds.* How Chad sees the relationship between Tyreese and Rick.* What was going on in the S3 finale when Tyreese abruptly left the room seeming like he had a purpose.* How working on TWD compares to his time on the acclaimed HBO show The Wire.* And much more!

Such a pleasure to talk with Angela Kang, writer of last Sunday's excellently horrific episode, "Infected." She was gracious, open, and lots of fun. Joined by temporary cohost and fantabulous listener Pi'ilani, we asked Angela about a lot of things, including:* How season four is shaping up.* Whether she deliberately strives to write TWD like a classic horror movie.* What's going on with several characters old and new, including Rick, Michonne, Tyreese, Lizzie and Mika.* Whether she would have voted to kill Randall back in season two.* And a lot more.

In this bonus episode we're thrilled to be talking with Greg Nicotero, one of the main creative forces behind The Walking Dead, not to mention a legend in makeup and special effects going back decades. We spoke with him about how he and his team dreams up new zombies, whether he ever gets disturbed by the gore, the possibility of Walking Dead on the big screen, his relationship with zombie progenitor George Romero, what it was like working on the set of Evil Dead II (one of our favorites), and much more.

TWD S4 is coming up and in preparation, we go back and review the first eight episodes of season three. I was surprised at how much more I got out of the season by binge watching. In particular I think I understand much more clearly what was going on in the Governor's twisted brain. Listen in as I lay it out for you and go over all the bits of foreshadowing and other elements that take on a new significance when viewed as a whole. And have you checked out the guest and events lists for the upcoming Walker Stalker Convention we've been going on about? Here are a few highlights:* Norman Reedus* Lauren Cohan* Greg Nicotero* Giancarlo Esposito (Gus from Breaking Bad)* Sarah Wayne Callies* Laurie Holden* A concert from Emily Kinney* A podcast panel with us, The Walker Stalkers, The Talking Dead, and Watching Dead (and we're working on setting up a meetup with you guys too)* Tons more. Seriously, those are some of the highlights, but there's a lot more going on too. You can find out more and get tickets at walkerstalkercon.com.

All right here it is, the recording of our Walking Dead fan meetup held during Comic Con! I had a blast co-hosting this event with James from The Walker Stalkers (with Eric assisting via Skype and a cameo from Karen). It was great fun talking live with Tyler Chase (Ben), Theodus Crane (Big Tiny), Nick Gomez (Tomas), Daniel Thomas May (Allen), and Travis Love (Shumpert). Most of all, it was super cool that the crowd seemed to have a really good time (as you'll hear), and we hope you enjoy the broadcast too! PS - Big thanks to Mr. Blahg, Gen Jacobs, Jame's son Jaden, and my friends Eric, Cybil, and Danny for helping out at the event. Saved our bacon! PPS - I forgot to say "Don't get bit" at the end.

Joined by our friend Brittany Duke, queen of Dead 'Cast Tumblr (see tumblr.walkingdeadcast.com), we count down our top ten favorite films of all time.

Another big episode as we're joined by Chris and Jason of the Talking Dead podcast for our annual season wrap-up. We give you our top ten highlights (positive and negative) of the season and throw in a little hockey and video game talk for good measure. Be sure to catch the second half of the countdown over at talkingdeadpodcast.com. Karen and I always have fun talking with these two, and we hope you guys enjoy it too. We've also got news and some emails and particularly great calls from you guys. Oh yeah, and come party with me and The Walker Stalkers at our San Diego event! Slated to attend are WD prisoners Vincent Ward (Oscar), Nick Gomez (Tomas), and Theodus Crane (Big Tiny). For tickets, go to walkingdeadcast.com/tickets.

It's been awhile, but we're making up for it with our longest show ever! It's the circle of podcasting as we talk with relative newcomers to the scene, the fabulous James and Eric, a.k.a. The Walker Stalkers, about their experiences meeting the cast of TWD, interacting with the listeners, and planning events. And later at the other end of the gamut, we talk with two of our podcasting idols, Jay and Jack of The Lost Podcast. As we knew it would be, it was a lot of fun and a true honor to talk with Jay and Jack. Without them, our own podcast would almost surely not exist, and we were actually more tongue-tied and giddy talking to them then when we interview the cast of TWD :) All that plus our review of the Evil Dead remake, the latest news, and all your listener moans, groans, and grunts! Rarrr! And don't forget, if you're starting to feel that jones for more Walking Dead, we've still got tickets for our upcoming San Diego event with The Walker Stalkers. Slated to attend are WD prisoners Vincent Ward (Oscar), Nick Gomez (Tomas), and Theodus Crane (Big Tiny). For tickets, go to walkingdeadcast.com/tickets. It's going to be a great party, and I'm looking forward to meeting a bunch of you there :) Look for hour next episode in a few weeks.

Here it is, our reaction to the season three finale. As you might imagine, we had mixed feelings, but overall thought it was pretty great. Also, we announce the winner of our Michonne haiku LiveScribe SmartPen contest. Some great haiku from you guys! Some of the best ever :) And stay tuned to the end for a big announcement for the podcast. Also, don't forget to check out our Comic Con event with James and Eric of The Walker Stalkers.

It was great to finally talk with Dallas Roberts, a.k.a. our favorite socially awkward zombie apologist/scientist Milton Mamet. You guys know I've been so impressed with Dallas' line readings, and I was excited to hear his approach to dialog. Plus, learn whether it was Milton who torched the biters in the screamer pit, what Dallas thinks Milton's relationship with the Governor was pre-apocalypse and much more. But first, hear my and Karen's reactions to this week's episode. Maybe a little more disagreement between us than usual. One thing's for sure, we'll miss Michael Rooker and we're stoked for next week's episode. Some great calls and emails from you guys this episode too, and more. Finally, we've got 575 ratings and reviews in iTunes (THANK YOU!) and we're going for 600 before next week's season finale.

Join us for this special 100th episode celebration! We had a blast chatting with our guest of honor, Andrew Lincoln, who talked about why he's an actor, his thoughts on the possibility of Rick losing a hand, whether he keeps up with cast mates who've left the show, and much much more. Tons of other surprises this episode, like the debut of both Nathan Melsted's extended version of our intro song and also our new disgustingly gorgeous Walking Dead 'Cast t-shirts (check 'em out!). We talk with designer Marc Manfre about his inspiration for designing these beautiful babies. And finally, we play your generously congratulatory calls and read a few emails between the two of us from years past. Thank you so much, by the way, for listening.

We open this episode with a fun interview with Nick Gomez, a.k.a. everyone's favorite convict with an attitude, Tomas. Nick was great to talk with, and it was fun to hear about his experience being thrown into the thick of things, much like Tomas himself. Then we move on to cover this week's 80's-horror-flickesque episode of TWD, "Prey," one of our favorites yet! We also bring you the latest news about TWD, comic talk, creepy whistling, and lots more. Also, if you didn't catch our interview with Norman Reedus last week, check it out. He was great!

In this episode join special guest co-host Gen and I for an incredibly fun and interesting interview with the man himself, Norman Reedus! Our goal was to cover things you haven't heard Norman answer elsewhere. Norman was personable and forthcoming and a pleasure to talk to. Find out what he wants out of life, what inspires him, what it's like for him to play a video game featuring himself, whether he ever thinks about how zombies smell, how he wants Daryl ultimately to go out on the show, and much, much more. P.S.

Why be coy? We loved this episode as much as you all did! One of the best of the series. Listen as we break it down. Note: Unfortunately, the audio in this episode was also somewhat broken down up until about the 43 minute mark.

So stoked to bring you this interview with Laurie Holden. It's definitely one of my favorites we've ever done. Laurie was incredibly open and genuine, giving her perspective on people's judgments of Andrea's character, among other things. Find out why Andrea didn't kill the Governor when she had the chance (it's not what you think), how Andrea feels about the way she treated Dale after the CDC, how it was to be apart from the main cast for most of season three, and much more.

We couldn't be more pleased to present this latest interview with the gracious and talented Steven Yeun. It was great talking with him about how Glenn has changed over the course of the series, what his mindset is in recent episodes, just where he took off to just before the Governor attacked the prison, and hints at future projects for Steven, among other things.

Listen as we go over the episode, report the news, read a ton of your feedback, and be sure to stay tuned for a bunch of new announcements at the end.

Two special guests today, as longtime listener, first time co-host Gracie Lou joins me to interview the talented Lauren Cohan, a.k.a. Maggie Greene. Lauren talks about why Maggie has been so hot and cold with Glenn, what she likes most about doing The Walking Dead, what it takes for a zombie to scare her, and a lot more. And best of all she gave us a particularly unique, rather animalistic zombie sound. Rather pterodactyl-like, I’d say…. :)Note: We talked with Lauren about upcoming story lines in the comic a bit, and so there are one or two potential spoilers. They’re just small ones, but if you’re completely spoiler-averse, you may want to skip this one (but then again as we’ve seen thus far, just because something happens in the comic doesn’t mean it will happen on the show).And by the way, if you like what we’re doing, we especially appreciate getting reviews (or even just ratings) and subscriptions in iTunes. It’s easy, and even better, free.

Karen and I had an absolute blast talking to Walking Dead zombie guru extraordinaire, Greg Nicotero! Greg tells what it was like working on classic Romero zombie films, how the Walking Dead "well zombie" was made, who has the best zombie walk out of Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Simon Pegg, and Edgar Wright, and much more.Greg mentioned that the southwestern Pennsylvania cemetery chapel featured in several scenes of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead is in danger of being demolished, but there is an effort to save it.
