After Shows

Yech, the one where Andrea leaves suicidal Beth alone with a knife after promising Maggie she’d keep watch over her, and Lori argues that Andrea should stick with “women’s work”.

581: "18 Miles Out" (TWD S2E10 Rewatch)

I remembered loving this episode because of the zombie scenes, and they were just as good on rewatch. The soapy drama, yeah it was alright too ;) Next up: TWD S2E10 “18 Miles Out”!

580: "Triggerfinger" (TWD S2E9 Rewatch)

Back to the rewatch! This is the first ep with Glen Mazzara as showrunner, and I remember being worried whether the show would still be good after Darabont left, and then being relieved that it was great. But do we still feel that way….? 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.

579: "Nebraska" (TWD S2E8 Rewatch)

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.

578: Civil War (2024)

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!You can email or send a voice message to talk@podcastica.com. Or check out our Facebook group, where we put up comment posts for each episode, at facebook.com/groups/podcastica.Show support and get ad-free episodes and a bunch of other cool stuff: patreon.com/jasoncabassi Or go to buymeacoffee.com/cabassi for a one-time donation.
