Jim and A.Ron are less than thrilled with the fourth episode of this season of The Walking Dead, “Slabtown”.  We find ourselves in an Orwellian retelling of Animal Farm, with lots of Beth, talk of the “common good”, lollipops, guinea pigs, would-be-rapist pigs, slappy pigs, horseshit escape attempts, and just when you think the episode…

508 – “Eldorado”

HBO’s Boardwalk Empire has come to it’s inevitable conclusion, and A.Ron and Jim are at peace with it.  In fact, we think it’s beautiful and painful in a way that Boardwalk finales tend to be, if not more so.  Things get dusty when fathers say goodbye to sons, and brothers say goodbye to brothers, and…

501 – “No Sanctuary”

Episode 501 of The Walking Dead, “No Sanctuary” got the season off to a great start.  Lots of action, lots of zombies, reasonably intelligent survivor decision making processes, the Ricktatorship being usurped by the Glennocracy before ultimately and rightfully bowing down before the Caroligarchy.  All this, tons of listener feedback right out the gate, and our spoiler…
