Reanimated Podcast

This one has been on our list since the earliest days of Reanimated and it was great to visit Havana, albeit in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. This film puts a wacky cast together with a lot of jokes, political satire about Cuba and zombies and honestly lands in some new territory, so that made it a lot of fun to watch. There was also a bunch of new trailers that dropped last week so we dug into Renfield, Blood, Evil Dead: Rise and some other tidbits. 

We sank our teeth into the final episode of the season in this episode. Sure we have our little gripes here and there but overall, this show really works on a lot of levels. Looking forward to a second season!

More vampires and their draaama this week as Louis' and Lestat's romance turns into something unsavory and Claudia scratches out her own personality somewhere in the middle. The show continues to do a great job, both in Dubai and New Orleans. 

We rise up out of our coffins for two more episodes of Interview with the Vampire this week. The differences between the original novel and this show are myriad but there's no denying the strength of this show, this cast and the updates that they've woven in. Have a listen with us!

Turns out our hosts were both big Anne Rice fans in their tenderer youths, no surprise there, so it's with no small amount of nostalgia that Reanimated is taking a look at the AMC series Interview with a Vampire. So far so good! The show clearly updates the original 1976 novel in some great ways. 

This one had us feeling some emotions. Through all the ups and downs, we'd stuck with this show for 12 years, and it had stayed around and ended on a fairly high note. We'll see how the walking dead universe maintains next year, but there's plenty of meat left on the zombie genre for now. 

We doubled up on seconds of Thanksgiving dinner and TWD episodes this week with the season marching like a herd of walkers toward its inevitable conclusion while we hapless audience members are carried along. Lots of fun in these two episodes, as well as some questions about Mercer's planning abilities and critiques of the lengthy closeups of Daryl's facial scar. Join us!

Here's a well put together episode with some great moments between characters who really needed to have a little dialog together, all placed against some fresh backdrops of scenarios we haven't seen in this show yet. Check it out!

This week on podcast we celebrate the news of the release date for The Last of Us on Jan. 15. Hurray! We also talk about What's Been Lost, directed by Aisha Tyler, a solid episode. Any episode with Melissa McBride and Josh Hamilton bouncing off each other is a good one.  Check it out with us!

Variant finally reintroduces the climby, doorknob-friendly, rock-wielding zombies that the show featured in season one, back before they were having discussions about continuity or "what can our zombies even do?" So to close that loop, they're bringing them back. OK, we can get behind that. Our commonwealth friends are in hot water and our B-plot wagoneers take a trip to renaissance town. It's a fun episode featuring some great lines of dialog and emotionally charged moments - also zombie killing. Basically it's peak Walking Dead.
