First 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…

I love to discuss it with my friends, figure out the best weapons, vehicles, terrain and general strategies for defeating the inevitable zombie invasion. I know I’m not alone in doing that. Zombie fanatics all over the world debate every…

Read MoreHey there! This is the first in a series of posts that will take a light hearted look at how our intrepid band of survivors deals with their problems in a USA overrun by zombies, as opposed to how they should have dealt with them. Scenario 1: Lori complains about the morality of looting a…
Read MoreWelcome to the first episode of The Watching Dead, the officially unofficial fan podcast of AMC’s The Walking Dead. I’ll be up front, if you’re a big fan of the show, buckle up, because we’re fairly critical of what we feel is a very uneven episode. There is a lot to like, but a lot…
