Hey everybody!  It’s been a break neck, take no prisoners, pedal to the metal, Lori-killing kind of season so far.  Can The Walking Dead keep it up in season 3.5?  Who will live, who will die?  Where does Team Prison and Team Woodbury go next?  Listen to Jim, A.Ron, and a few dozen fellow TWD fans opine on our mid-season finale cast!

The Walking Dead hits a home run this week with the very solid episode 307, “When the Dead Come Knocking”.  About the only turd in the punch this week was the lunatic in the cabin, and who’s to say the turd didn’t add a touch of savory piquancy that elevated the episode as a whole?  I do, actually.  That’s who.  That part was straight up horseshit. But just like The Walking Dead wouldn’t be The Walking Dead if there wasn’t something WTF worthy each week, our podcast wouldn’t be our podcast if we had nothing to bitch about.  Oh.  And Poindexter’s science experiment.  That was goofy too.  Oh god, I can feel the Waldorf coming over me.  Anyway, the good stuff was very good.  Getting the Ricktatorship and Woodbury all involved, a fairly touching scene involving Carol, gut wrenching torture involving Glenn and Maggie, hair raising, tension setting music, and excellent pacing sets us up for one epic mid-season finale next week. We discuss all this, some news, your feedback, and the return of megawatt, radioactive

I’m sick this week so the update’s are going to be a little barebones.  But we soldiered on through the podcast.  Jim and I were kind of down on this episode, which we felt had a high silly shit to awesome ratio.  Some of the stand out great scenes were, anything with Rick and a telephone, anything with Rick and Herschel, and stop me if you’ve heard this one, any thing with Daryl.  All this, your feedback, a healthy spoiler section, and lots of random coughs and sneezes courtesy of yours truly.  Hopefully both my sinus cavities and the show itself will bounce back next week!

This episode is CRAZY!  Literally crazy.  Like, Rick and the Governor try to out crazy each other in the Crazy Olympics, and Rick wins by a phone call.  Join us as we discuss this and zombie stuffing, Carol’s sham grave, Daryl’s hard core panty dropping abilities, Michonne revealing her softer side (well, she did smile), and much more. Note: The spoiler section this week contains high-octane, no-shit spoilers for this weekend’s episode.  Do not listen past the spoiler music unless you want to completely spoil Sunday’s show.

It’s fiesta time!  I hope you got your salsa, your chips, your margaritas, your Dos Equis and whatever the hell else you need to celebrate the death of Lori Grimes, because The Walking Dead did it’s level best to make sure we’d have a hard time enjoying it.  But what the hell, right?  In for a penny, in for a pound, and can a well acted, noble death by ceasarean really make up for 2 seasons of horrible writing? Poor taste in celebrating the brutal death of a mother aside, Lori’s gone, T-Dog’s gone, and our band of survivors will never be the same.  Join us for a complete breakdown of episode 304, “The Killer Within”, including feedback from our awesome fans and as always, our coverage of spoilers and comic theories in our spoiler section.

This week’s episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead finally introduced us to the long awaited character of the Governor, capably played by distinguished actor Liam Neeson.  An interesting choice to let him roll with his Scottish brogue, but you know what?  I think it works. Other points of interest include Michonne’s epic, episode long stink eye, zombie science, the Return of Merle, Andrea making mooney eyes at Liam, Chris Hardwick being force by AMC to be an annoying asshole, and the resurrection of Jim’s Dead Man’s Brew.   Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode, which is The Walking Dead Season Three Episode Two, just about killed me.  Up until the last fifteen minutes, I was as pissed as I’ve ever been watching any TV show, ever.  And then… they totally redeemed themselves. Join us as we discuss Vatos Part 2: Vatos Harder, crappy neck tattoos, freezers that should remain unopened, Lori’s Apology Tour, the questionable wisdom of CPR in a zombie apocalypse scenario, shivving zombies, and Attica on speed, man.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The Walking Dead is back with a vengeance and so are we!  Jim and A.Ron barrel through the premier episode of season three, “Seed”, like a pumped up T-Dog with a riot shield.  Join us as we discuss wordless intros, innovative use of carabiners, homemade silencers, zombie babies, a Grimes centipede (yeah, you heard me), Carl Jr’s quest for first base, and much much more. If you want to check out the short film I reference in the podcast about a penguin suit wearing zombie protagonist, check it out.  And Jim and A.Ron both recommend you check out the book, “Dust”, but Joan Frances Turner.  It’s one of the most unique takes on the zombie genre we’ve ever seen.

Well, season 2 is over and in the books.  We’ve had times both good and bad at the farm, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve whipped ourselves into a murderous frenzy about one Mrs. Grimes.  But now it’s time to put it all behind us and move on.  Jim and A.Ron are thumbs up on “Beside the Dying Fire”, and it leaves them eager to get on to bigger and better things in season 3!   We have a bit of news, an episode breakdown, and lots and lots of feedback from you guys.

A.Ron’s on vacation, so that means a no frills, all cast update.  This week we discuss the penultimate season 2 episode, “Better Angels”.  Fan reaction was very mixed, and frankly, we’ve seen better TWD, but the plot’s going where it needs to go, and that’s not a bad thing.  Tune in for our thoughts and speculation, listener mail, and another balls out spoiler section.

The one thing you can’t say about this week’s episode 211, “Judge, Jury, Executioner” is that nothing happens.   Camp Herschel is rocked, and  Jim and A.Ron are liking how things are going down on the farm as we enter the home stretch of season 2.5 of The Walking Dead.  We discuss Daryl’s Sayid homage, proper zombieland parenting, Dale’s campaign trail, the group’s ammo situation, age appropriate play with your 18 year old daughter, Randall’s trustworthiness, Carl’s embrace of secular humanism, having a go at mud-stuck zombies, and the physics behind ripping  a man’s guts open.  Not to mention lots and lots and lots of you fine people’s feedback, and another poem by heart broken fan, Tom inWest Virginia. Note:  Spoilers ya’ll!  We’re not fucking around this season.  If you stay beyond the outro music you will be hit with hard core, uncensored and raw television and comic spoilers.   Remember, you’re always going to be safe and spoiler free if you turn off your player before our outro music plays.

Jim and A.Ron are conflicted this episode.  There are parts of our favorite AMC zombie-based dramedy that are brilliant, and parts that almost gave us brain aneurysms.  Find out which are which as we discuss zombie waterfalls, Andrea Kavorkian, Rick being silent but deadly, Lori extolling the benefits of being pregnant and in the kitchen, and torture by Molly Hatchet.  See you at the crossroads (so you won’t be lonely)! Note:  For whatever reason, we’re running high-octane spoilers this whole min-season, so steer clear of our spoiler section if you want to remain pure.  Remember, you’re always going to be safe and spoiler free if you turn off your player before our outro music plays.

In this peach of an episode, A.Ron and Jim discuss some insights from Glen Mazzara’s recent interview with Vulture, the politics of Rachero del Herschel, the relative upper body strength of Mrs. Grimes, the unluckiest jumper in the world, the newly found artfulness of The Walking Dead, the effectiveness of Andrea as Shane’s ambassador, and a ton of listener thoughts and spoilers.
