Explosive, destructive episode this week as all the tension that’s been building up in this series finally comes to a head. It really felt like a season finale, didn’t it? Which makes us even more curious to find out what they’ll do with the final three episodes. Lots to talk about for this one though, so join us as we talk it out!

Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale, Episode 8, “Tenebrae,” as Maggie, Negan and Hershel fight to take back Manhattan and one of the strongest seasons of Dead City yet comes to a close.

This week, they dive into the final showdown with Dillard, Hershel stepping into his own as a leader, and the huge emotional payoff to Maggie and Negan’s evolving relationship. They also discuss how seemingly every piece of Season 3 ultimately mattered, Maggie finally embracing the kind of leader she can become, and why the finale feels less like the end of a story and more like a soft reboot launching Dead City into something much bigger.

Plus, plenty of listener feedback on “Hourglass,” thoughts on Season 3 as a whole, speculation about where Maggie and Negan could go from here, and whether the show may finally be positioning itself to reconnect with the larger Walking Dead universe.

Next up: Listener feedback for TWD: Dead City S3E8 “Tenebrae” and Dead City S3 as a whole. Let us know your thoughts!

Compulsory nude figure drawing, a sudden orbital vaporizing laser, and a hi-tech,  futuristic slaughterhouse are just a few of the things that made this episode odd as hell, but never dull! Join Kirk, Jim, and Jason as we talk it out!

What’s next for Wax Episodic?

As I (Jason) mentioned on the podcast, the plan is to go on hiatus for awhile, and come back for the new HBO show, Lanterns, premiering August 16.

Lanterns is an upcoming new superhero/detective series, but I’m most excited about it because of where it’s airing (because HBO has been producing high-quality shows for years), and also the kick-ass bunch of creators and actors who are involved: Lanterns is headed up by Damon Lindelof (LOST, The Leftovers, Watchmen), Chris Mundy (Ozark, True Detective), and Tom King (Mister Miracle, The Vision), stars Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights, Bloodline), Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge), and co-stars Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle). 

Premise: Green Lanterns are intergalactic peacekeepers who wear rings that give them extraordinary powers. The series follows experienced Lantern Hal Jordan and new recruit John Stewart as they investigate a murder in Rushville, Nebraska, which Jordan believes is an extraterrestrial incident and leads them to darker mysteries and reckonings.

P.S. There’s a chance we’ll be back with a surprise or two before Lanterns. Either way keep us in your feed and we’ll talk to you soon!

“Thank you for coming. We value your patronage.”

Penny, Kara and returning guest Dina delight in the Tara backstory. True to form, the trio find many opportunities for tangents, including voting, representation, kittens, the patriarchy, shame, homophobia, chosen family, feeling useful, “Little Women,” Massachusetts tourist attractions, favorite villains, and the Sunnydale job market.  

Send in feedback before episode 99 for a chance to win a Buffy themed Polly Pocket Playset!

Next time, we’ll be covering Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 5, episode 7, “Fool for Love.”

Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 7, “Hourglass,” as the penultimate episode delivers the payoff to several storylines that have been building all season and leaves them desperate to see what happens next.

This week, they dive into Dillard’s transformation into the threat hiding in plain sight, Renata’s struggle to hold onto her ideals, and some of the strongest Maggie and Negan material Dead City has given us yet. They also discuss how “Genesis” changes the way they view Maggie and Negan’s relationship, Negan’s surprising vulnerability and desire for Maggie to find her happy ending, Maggie’s connection with Luis, and whether Dillard really is the season’s “big bad” or simply the latest test in a season where survival itself has been the real enemy.

Plus, a ton of listener feedback on “Genesis,” theories and predictions heading into the Season 3 finale, and plenty of the usual tangents along the way.

Next up: TWD: Dead City S3E8 “Hourglass”, the season 3 finale. Let us know your thoughts!

So great to get some of John’s backstory this week, making it much more clear why his parents set him on this years-long course to become a Green Lantern. A thoughtfully told, thought-provoking tale, and Jim and Kirk are here to talk it out.

Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 6, “Genesis,” and an episode that may not advance the main story very far—but could be one of the most important explorations of Maggie and Negan the franchise has ever given us.

This week, they dive deep into what this alternate timeline reveals about the core of both characters: Maggie’s lifelong struggle to let go of the past, Negan’s inability to control his darker impulses even when his intentions are good, and the fascinating idea that these two may be destined to find and influence one another no matter what life they’re living. They also discuss the emotional return of Beth, how differently Maggie’s life may have unfolded without the apocalypse, the episode’s themes of fate and choice, and whether Maggie and Negan’s connection runs even deeper than either of them realizes.

Plus, plenty of listener feedback from “Imperialis,” some fantastic hidden details and callbacks scattered throughout the alternate New York, theories about what all of this means heading into the final two episodes, and a special message for the Zedheads from The Walking Dead’s Ross Marquand!

Next up: TWD: Dead City S3E7 “Hourglass”. Let us know your thoughts!

“How many warriors slated for the coming apocalypse do you think are gonna be using that hair gel? Don't get me wrong. You're out there, fighting ultimate evil; you're going to want something with hold.”

Penny and Kara accompany Wesley on his undercover mission while Angel is consulting with the T-ish Magev and talk through the various guises in play. Along they way they veer off into a myriad of subjects, including celebrity gossip, Cute Knut, growth spurts, the show’s depictions of wealth, magical business names, tall privilege, the “that guy” phenomenon, The Sandlot, EMDR, demon karaoke song choices, and birthday parties.   

What song would you sing for Lorne at Caritas?

Next time we’ll tackle BTVS Season 5, Episode 6, “Family.”

Keep Slaying!

Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson have said from the start that Yellowjackets was partly inspired by Lord of the Flies, the tale of a bunch of young schoolboys stranded on an island after a plane crash, and how they managed. And now we have a brilliantly beautiful and disturbing new four-episode adaptation by the BBC (on Netflix in the U.S.), and so Kasi, Kara, and Jason are here to talk it through. Plus, we catch you up on some YJ news that’s happened since we last podcasted. For one thing, they’ve announced the final season will premiere on Friday, November 20! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Mentioned:

Next up: Wendy, Daphne, Penny, and Jason will mostly likely be back at some point with a YJ catch-up episode, or if not that, then definitely for Yellowjackets S4E1(!). In the mean time, if you’d like to write in and connect:

Things are getting complicated this week, with details about who these aliens are and why they came to Rushville, Nebraska, and questions about what William Macon is up to, why Hal doesn’t want to report to the Guardians, how John can create a little green birdie sidekick, and a ton more. We do our best this ep to lay it all out for you!
