Dina and I were somewhat divided on this episode… and so were you! I’m glad I didn’t talk everyone out of liking it or something. It did have its moments for sure.

Lovely to read all your messages this week, as usual, and we especially appreciate you expressing support for our occasional tangents :) Merci. Also, I thought the reaction to Daryl and Isabelle’s kiss would be more divided. I mean it was divided, but not as much as I thought.

An episode of betrayals on all fronts, and one that opened up some interesting lines of thought for both of us about doubt, faith, and choice.

Join Lucy, Karen, and Wendy for an impassioned talk about the new Amazon series, The Power. “The world of The Power is our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly, and without warning, all teenage girls in the world develop the power to electrocute people at will. It's hereditary, it's inbuilt, and it can't be taken away from them. Coming alive to the thrill of pure power: the ability to hurt or even kill by releasing electrical jolts from their fingertips, they rapidly learn they can awaken the Power in older women. Soon enough nearly every woman in the world can do it. And then everything is different.” Bzzzt!

Another change of pace this week, as Joel reaches Tommy in Jackson, WY, and comes to terms with what he’s gotta do. Such a great episode: at times funny, tense, heartbreaking, awkward and uncomfortable, moving, inspiring, and ultimately, incredibly worrying.

This marks the end of 11 seasons of wrapping up the show together, starting way back in 2010, and I can’t lie, we got a little bit emotional about it :) Thanks as always to Chris and Jason for joining us, and I know you’re going to enjoy this in-depth, fun talk.

And please don’t forget to head over to The Talking Dead Podcast at talkingdeadpodcast.com for part two of our wrap-up!

Next week: We become The ‘Cast of Us: A Last of Us and Walking Dead ‘Cast, as we welcome Ben, Rima, and Mr. Blahg to the show to start our coverage of HBO’s The Last of Us. 

We will, of course, be covering all the new Walking Dead spinoffs, so stick around, there’s so much more to come!

So great to welcome back our friend (and past Comic Talk host) Derek back for one final comparison of The Walking Dead comic to the show. We go over the epic surprise final issue of the comic, and finally spell out in detail just how Gabriel died in the comics. Hint: It’s goofy, dumb, and spectacular!

Wow, it’s a marathon listener feedback session, our longest ever, and we’re both so incredibly thankful that all of you brilliant listeners care enough to write in. You guys make this feel like such a worthwhile thing to be doing. Thank you!

And with that, we’re completely done with our coverage of The Walking Dead. Except for next week’s Comic Talk episode, and then that’s it. Well, and then there’s the crossover with Chris and Jason of The Talking Dead Podcast. And the spinoffs over the next few years. But that’s it! We got to draw the line somewhere. Jeez.

What a fantastic end to The Walking Dead. Lucy and I were so moved by it. At times thrilling, horrifying, sad, touching, and even awe-inspiring. We’re relieved to be able to talk about such a fine episode here at the end. Hope you enjoy, and we’ll be back in a few days to respond to your feedback.

And as always, thanks so much to all of you who have been listening along with us. You’re the reason why we do it. Cheers.

The Walking Dead has come to an end, and a bunch of Zedheads converged on San Francisco to experience it together. Here’s our live instant reaction we recorded just minutes after the episode ended.

Lucy and I will be back in a week or so with our usual break-down, and then sometime soon after that, we’ll do a feedback episode. Enjoy, everybody!

Our longest stretch of feedback ever with some incredibly heartening (and insightful) messages from you guys. Thank you so much everyone. Lucy and I can hardly take it :) We’re glad to hear a lot of mentions of Karen in your messages too, and I’m excited she’s going to be a part of the live podcast we’ll do after the finale on Sunday (to be published in the feed soon after).

Some fricken’ great zombie action and tension this episode. Other great moments too - and also some giant nitpicks, why not. Do you think Judith is going to live? (We do.) Will any of the other characters die? Do you think Rick will show up in the finale? Just a few more days until the end….

Welp, now we know why JDM was so put off that they pre-announced the Negan spinoff. This ep would have been a lot more tense if we didn’t know Negan would survive. But it was still pretty great. We especially liked the stuff with Eugene’s trial.

Two more episodes left!!!

We’re getting more comments and voice messages from you guys since the show is almost at its end, and we love it! So rather than have to edit it down, here’s a listener-feedback-only episode where we can read and play it all, and spend a little more time responding too! Hope you guys enjoy.

PS I particularly liked hearing from some of you talking about what the show and/or the podcast has meant to you over the years and things like that. It’s almost over, so send in your comments, emails, and voice messages! Now’s the time!

😢🪙💔

What a fantastic episode this week, with Pamela and her oddly intimate-yet-threatening encounter with Lance, some powerful scenes between Mercer and the people in his life who want him to live up to their vision of him, some fun moments between Daryl and Eugene, and one of the spookiest and coolest zombie sequences we’ve seen in a long time.

Deep breath — here we go! It’s the first of the final eight episodes of The Walking Dead. Feels good to be back, and though we had some mixed feelings about this first ep for sure, there was a lot to dig in to.

Lucy’s back to talk about this week’s TOTWD that started off like a nature documentary and ended up being about a “scientist” emotionally attached to his subjects to the point that he cares about him more than other people. Kind of a tool, really. But at least it was Anthony Edwards!

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.

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. (Yeah, better.)

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. This premiere episode kind of snuck up on us. At first it seemed kind of run-of-the-mill, but ultimately we found a whole lot to appreciate.

Hey Zedheads, it's finally time! After 11 seasons (and 12 years), our beloved show is ending. So let's get together and experience it in style and among friends :)

For information, go to: podcastica.com/twdfinaleparty

But in short, it'll be a screening of The Walking Dead finale followed by a live podcast with special guests (like Lucy, Karen, Rima, and Chris) and prizes, plus some optional fun activities over the weekend.

Oh man, so much happy in this episode. First off, Karen is back to talk about Jordan Peele’s Nope, and it feels like old-time WDC vibes :) And of course I’m sure you heard about the Rick Grimes news (right?!), and Rima joins us to talk about that and other Comic-Con news. If I was a Care Bear, I’d be the one with a big heart on my chest. (Or wait, was that all of them?)

Lucy, special guest Peter, and I wrap up our coverage of the Korean period zombie saga, Kingdom, with the 90-minute prequel movie, Kingdom: Ashin of the North. This one could easily challenge Game of Thrones for darkest most twisted historical fantasy ever. Jeez. Also we’ve got some news about things coming up!

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.

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. (We covered the first season awhile back, which you can find here: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-walking-dead-cast/episode/395-kingdom-season-one).

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. Check out Kirk’s stuff at studiokm.com. You won’t regret it!

What a pleasure to talk to the talented Josh Hamilton, the man behind the enigmatic, calculating, and endlessly watchable Walking Dead antagonist, Lance Hornsby!

Lucy and I (with the help of you guys) asked him about all kinds of things, including: 

• Josh’s experience listening to our podcast

• How much he knew about Lance’s character arc from the beginning

• What kind of society he’d like to be a part of in the ZA

• Whether Lance believes in the ideals of the Commonwealth or it’s more about power for him

• Lance’s backstory

• Josh’s thoughts about various WD characters and actors

• What the mood was like working on his 1993 film, Alive

• What stands out to him about working on the 2018 Bo Burnham-directed movie Eighth Grade

• What he thinks about Lance’s fashion sense

• What it’s like to be on TWD as it’s ending

• And a lot more!

First thing’s first: Wanna come join us on the West Coast for a group watch of the WD finale? If you’re in, please RSVP at podcastica.com/twdfinaleparty so we can get a headcount. It’s gonna be so much fun!

King-size episode this week as we delve into THE LAST TWD MID-SEASON FINALE EVER!!! :`( Well, we thought it was a good one, and seemingly, hopefully kicked the story into high-gear for the final eight. Plus there was a ton of news and listener feedback (thank you!). And we finally got around to doing a big multi-issue Comic Talk segment comparing what happens with the Commonwealth in the comics vs. the show. Considering Rick was involved in the comics, things played out somewhat differently there and it’s kind of fascinating to think about the two alternate-reality versions of this story.

Some adorable “couple” moments in this ep, along with some plot progression, but we ARE kinda feeling like OKAY, we know the Commonwealth is rotten to the core! Can we please get to the rebellion or whatever it’s going to be?! But, we definitely found a lot to like and talk about with this ep. P.S. While Lucy’s out exploring Game-of-Thrones filming locations I’m happy to be joined this week by Rima and longtime listener and friend, Jayme!

So great to see Negan face-to-face with Hershel and finally showing a smidge of remorse! Also, the rotten core of the Commonwealth is being exposed to all our people, which surely means a rebellion is not too far off, right?

The Walking Dead has turned into a bit of a political thriller and also got us thinking about the merits and downsides of various forms of government, and we’re pretty fascinated by all of it and excited at the change of pace coming up towards the end here. Good stuff!
