The 'Cast of Us: The Walking Dead & The Last of Us Podcastica

Jason and guest cohosts Randy and Sam all hold Mad Max: Fury Road as one of the best action movies ever (it’s Jason’s all-time favorite). So we were all excited for the sequel, Furiosa. Did it live up to Fury Road? No, but it was thrilling, funny, artful, imaginative, brutal, thought-provoking, well-acted, visually stunning, and yes, had some problems too.

It’s the “Randall dilemma” episode, and I (Jason) was curious to know whether it would hit the same as it did 12 years ago. You’ll have to listen to find out.

Yech, the one where Andrea leaves suicidal Beth alone with a knife after promising Maggie she’d keep watch over her, and Lori argues that Andrea should stick with “women’s work”. A surprisingly good episode all things considered :P And we’re thrilled to be joined this week by Archmaester Renny, cohost of Dragon ‘Cast.

I remembered loving this episode because of the zombie scenes, and they were just as good on rewatch. The soapy drama, yeah it was alright too ;)

Back to the rewatch! This is the first ep with Glen Mazzara as showrunner, and I remember being worried whether the show would still be good after Darabont left, and then being relieved that it was great. But do we still feel that way….? 

Announcement: Karen, David, and I (Jason) are excited to be headed to Scotland this summer to hang out with Lucy and Peter, and we’d love to meet any of you guys who are in the area or can get there. We’ll be hanging out at an as-yet-to-be-determined pub in Glasgow on Wednesday July 17. Join us! More details to come soon.

Announcement #2: Have you seen Fallout on Amazon? It’s pretty great. It’s a post-apocalyptic comedy sci-fi western with a ton of style, and Ben, Jason, and Doug put out a marathon three-hour podcast covering season one. You can find that on House Podcastica here: https://podcastica.com/podcast/house-podcastica/episode/fallout-season-one

This ep we’re covering the new Alex Garland dystopian action movie, Civil War, in theaters now.
On one hand this movie is right up this podcast’s alley: it feels post-apocalyptic and it’s a harrowing, thought-provoking story with great characters, thrilling sequences, and a lot of heart. On the other hand, it hits so close to home in the most disturbing way, and it provokes political discussion that might not be everyone’s cup of tea. We usually avoid talking politics on the podcast. I like that The Walking Dead and The Last of Us are something for people from different political backgrounds to connect on! But in this episode, with this movie, we went there. So there’s your warning. I think we handled it respectfully and thoughtfully, but you guys will have to be the judge, should you choose to listen!

Happy to be joined this week by David and long-time listener Jim as Lucy unpacks boxes at her new house (!), and we’ll be back to the WD rewatch next week!
