Tonight’s episode was pretty good, and then it made me as angry as I’ve ever been at a TV show. A hate formed inside me for a character so white hot, that I couldn’t think rationally. I blacked out for the entire ensuing commercial break. I’m sure you know at what point and at what…
Read MoreHello fellow survivors! It’s time for your weekly review of the survival techniques of our favorite zombie-themed drama on AMC, The Walking Dead! Let’s dig right in… Scenario 1: Mourning for the tragic murder loss of Otis, the survivors attempt to find meaning in the death of their sweaty, overalls-wearing friend. What the survivors did:…
Read MoreHey everybody! We had a nice run of two good episodes, so it was about time for a stinker. Not historically bad, by TWD standards, but about as putrid as the zombie in that well. I’m traveling this week, but was able to join the cast through the miracles of modern communication, as Jim and…
Read MoreSorry for the delay, folks. I’m traveling on business, and it did not occur to me that the hotel I was at would not have AMC. So I had to wait for the episode to be released digitally with all the other schmucks on iTunes. This will not impact our release of the cast tomorrow,…
Read MoreCome along with Susan as she takes us from Oklahoma Bible school to NYC strip clubs to Starbucks drive-thrus. Note: Amy’s description of The Buzz Lightyear may cause more sensitive listeners to blush, so skip ahead of that part if you find such content questionable. See what I did there? Now you’re wondering what she…
Read MoreHello, fellow surviors! Here is this week’s survival review. What’s good for the goose is good for the muhfukin’ gander, and thus we arrive at… Scenario 1: Co-host of Watching Dead mucks up sound check, records entire podcast from his MacBook’s external speaker, bypassing approximate $500 worth of audio gear in the process, making the…
Read MoreFirst off, apologies for the substandard audio quality. We messed up our audio checks and ended up recording on the mac’s internal mic and not our soundboard. It’s still listenable, but we’ll try to do better going forward. This week, we talk about backlash backlashes, how scary The Walking Dead really is, Shane’s face-heel turn,…
Read MoreHello, fellow surviors! Here is this week’s belated survival review. Scenario 1: Co-host of the Watching Dead promises weekly column on Friday, doesn’t deliver until Monday morning. What Jim did: Said, “That’s okay, just get it out whenever.” What Jim should have done: Punched A.Ron in the dick and screamed “NEXT TIME IT’S GOING TO…
Read MoreFirst off, I decided to re-watch episodes 101-103 this weekend. Maybe having these recently in memory gave me new insights into the characters; but I’m really digging what they’re doing with Shane. AMC’s gimmick seems to be “head shave” = “bad guy”, but I wonder about Shane. Did he do what he did because he…
Read MoreDiary entries, love letters and hate mail were to be the main topics of the show but we also found time for guessing games, listener voicemail and nail polish talk. How the heck did we fit so much into one show? Listen and find out! Again, thank you to all the wonderful members of our…
