   Number 1: TWD: Dead City S3E7 "Hourglass"

   Reposted from Walking Dead ‘Cast, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-cast-of-us — 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! You can email or send a voice message to [email protected].

   Number 2: TWD: Dead City Season 3 Listener Feedback

   Reposted from Walking Dead ‘Cast, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-cast-of-us — Ben and Alex are back one last time to close the book on The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, turning the microphones over to the Zedheads for their thoughts on the finale, “Tenebrae,” and the season as a whole. This week, they dig into a huge batch of listener feedback while revisiting Maggie and Negan’s remarkable evolution, Hershel’s transformation into one of the season’s biggest surprises, the impact of characters like Luis, Renata and Dillard, and why the seemingly disconnected pieces of the season ultimately came together to tell a much bigger story. Along the way, they unpack some fantastic callbacks and symbolism listeners caught, debate what a potential Season 4 could look like, and speculate about whether Dead City could eventually become a meeting point for characters from across the larger Walking Dead universe. Most importantly, Ben and Alex take some time to thank everyone who watched, listened, wrote in, called, theorized, disagreed, overthought things and went off on countless tangents with them throughout the season. The Dead City coverage may be finished for now, but the Zedheads made this season one hell of a ride. And yes... there are still plenty of completely unnecessary tangents along the way. Next up: Jason and Lucy return with the WD rewatch! It’s TWD S7E2 “The Well”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to [email protected].

   Number 3: Lord of the Flies (2026)

   Reposted from Yellowjackets wtf?, which you can find and subscribe to at: yellowjacketswtf.com — 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.

   Reposted from Wax Episodic, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/wax-episodic — Yet another change of pace this week, with this complicated, somber, surprisingly funny, intriguing, and moving episode, as we see how John has changed in the 10 years since turning down the Green Lantern ring — and how he deals with the mysterious death of his former mentor/antagonist.

Also on Wax Episodic: We cover these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted series:Severance (Apple TV): A mind-bending show where office workers’ minds are severed into two selves, one that exists only at work, and the other only outside. It’s beautiful, brilliant, funny, gripping, mysterious, thrilling, thought-provoking, and meticulously crafted in every way. Hosted by Jason and Karen’s innies.Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic, post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi.Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen.IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, with Pennywise stalking the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elm Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy. Check out other podcasts on our network at podcastica.com. Thank you!
