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!

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

Next up: As mentioned, we’ll be back to the rewatch next week with TWD S2E8 “Nebraska”! Let us know your thoughts.

Here’s part two of your feedback for the finale of The Ones Who Live. I don’t know if I’ve ever podcasted on something that hit emotional beats so well and so intensely like this while asking us to swallow some pretty ridiculous logistical plot points, and that made for some varied and passionate feedback from you guys :) We love it!

Next up: Lucy’s on break for awhile (we’ll be getting back to the rewatch in early May), so Jason and guests will be covering the new Alex Garland movie Civil War that’s in theaters now. Highly recommend you guys watch it! It’s a dark, apocalyptic character drama and I think most fans of TWD will appreciate it. If you see it, we really want to know your thoughts!

All said and done, feelings were mixed about The Ones Who Live, often from the same person, which made for some interesting feedback. More of you than ever wanted to talk about it (which is awesome) so we’re splitting the feedback up into two parts. Here’s part 1 with special guests Jenny and Randy from the Welcome to the Apocalypse podcast.

We were (all) so stressed going into this episode, weren’t we? There’s so much say about it, positive and otherwise, but man, what a beautiful ending :)

As is the way with TWD sometimes, this episode made us care a little more about a character before killing her off! A fitting end though, and some great nostalgia in this ep with the return of Gabriel, and some wonderful lightness with Rick and Michonne pretty much on a post-apocalyptic honeymoon. :)

As we thought, most of you guys loved this standout episode and put it at top tier TWD. But there were some varied and surprising opinions and some unexpected, insightful perspectives in this week’s feedback and we love it!

Wow, what an outstanding episode Danai Gurira wrote, and also brilliantly performed with Andrew Lincoln. Intimate, emotional, surprising, and triumphant. Lucy and I both loved it were looking forward to podcasting about it the moment we saw it. Hope you enjoy.

Wow, we did not see that coming. As Lucy said, Rick is a dick. :) We had somewhat different takes on what he did though, and hope you enjoy the discussion.

Strong reactions from you guys to this week’s episode, mostly (but not all) positive, with some really interesting takes and angles. Lucy’s traveling and I’m happy to have Penny and Kara filling in!
