We're back after an unexpected summer hiatus! Sorry, folks. But don't worry, most of The Last of Us has already been recorded. I just need to get off my butt and edit them!

Our buddy John from the Open Pike Night podcast joins us to be our emotional support cohost. The death of Joel is hard to watch, but we'll help you get through it step by step. These Alaskan friends will distract you with talk of snow physics and Lord of the Rings parallels. Paul breaks out his Abbey villian voice. John just doesn't understand how a town with 5+ years of prep time goes down in 2 minutes from the zombie horde. Marcy stays on brand discussing the heroes of the episode...the dogs. They also discuss the cultural phenomenon of killing off main characters in TV shows and the meaning of the title Through the Valley. Buckle up!

Season 3 of Idle Ride is finally here! Our plan is to review the Apple+ series Silo and the second season of HBO Max The Last of Us.

Marcy also compares author Hugh Howey's book Wool  to the show and how his writing style compares with Stephen King. Don't worry, we didn't leave out Lessons in Lore.
