Jim and A.Ron ponder a few questions looking backward to this past half season and looking forward to the next.  Where do the survivors go next? Which was better so far, season one or season two?  Can they make the zombies scarier?  Then we process some listener feedback and talk comic spoilers in the spoiler…

207 – “Pretty Much Dead Already”

Turns out that the midseason finale went out with a bang.  Several dozen, actually!  Before we get into the recap, we consider an article from The Atlantic on five ways The Walking Dead can be improved.  It’s pretty good, even if you think The Walking Dead is just fine as is. Then we break down…

Walking Dead Review – 207 – “Pretty Much Dead Already”

An unequivocably excellent episode to cap the mid-season off.  Now, of course the same things that drive me crazy about certain characters are still driving me crazy, but this episode went and took those “bugs” and made them “features”, to use programming parlance. What I mean by that is that negative character traits, which up…

206 – “Secrets”

Welcome to this week’s episode of Watching Dead!  Some say this was the best episode of the season, and some say one of the worst.  What do Jim and A.Ron think?  It might surprise you. We talk about chicken legs, advanced shooting classes, farmer’s ultimatums, the ridiculous, irresponsible way the “morning after” pills were depicted on…

Walking Dead Review – 206 – “Secrets”

Well, this is the episode where this ridiculous show roped me into another season of watching.  Unless they drop the ball really badly, like, say, crash two 737’s into each other over Herschel’s farm, I’m in. There was a lot of silly stuff, to be sure, and I think we should have been at this…

205 – “Chupacabra”

Welcome to this week’s episode of Watching Darryl Dead!  The show picks itself off, and dusts itself off after falling into a well last week, only to derail the otherwise decent episode with an ill advised headshot!  Rage along with Jim and A.Ron as we vent along with the listeners about the near tragic stupidity…

413 – Listener Feedback

We promised a listener feedback episode this week and we delivered! We tried to give some attention to everyone’s thoughts but even after cutting some emails for time and ONLY covering your thoughts we STILL barely brought the episode in under an hour thirty! Seriously, the feedback is overwhelming but we love it. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this episode and those whose feedback we just didn’t have the time to read on air. We appreciate all of it!

413 – Face Off

Breaking Bad season four is in the books! Last night’s episode “Face Off” capped off a remarkable story arc that has lasted over two seasons, and where it goes from here, is anyone’s guess.

In this episode, Jim and A.Ron recap the episode, analyze how the various plots and machinations resolved, talk about lose ends, and speculate a bit about what comes next for our favorite show. We had so much thoughts by ourselves that we couldn’t get hardly any feedback in. So, Wednesday we’re recording round 2, that features nothing but thoughts from you guys.

413 – Face Off – Instant Take

Holy shit! No time for witty text, here’s Jim and A.Ron’s Instant Review of “Face Off” in podcast form! It’s less than 15 minutes long, and sort of unusually low-key. We were trying to be quiet since my five year old was asleep in the next room over. 😀
