Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. 

And we kinda loved that Joel and Ellie bonding over puns in this ep, and all the great video-gamey fights, and that the show continues to surprise us and change things up. We also had a few quibbles, and an extra-long Game Talk segment. Enjoy!

Another week of fresh insights and fun from you guys on the latest episode. Interesting to see some recurring themes (like a few of you forgot to breathe during the clicker scene). Join Jason, Erik, and Ben as we read / play and respond to all your feedback!

Okay, after that clicker scene I may not ever need to watch any other “zombie-esque” show again. So freaking cool!! And so much to love about the rest of the show, too. Get ready for some deep appreciation (along with a few very minor quibbles) from Jason, Rima, and Erik.

You heard what we thought of the premiere, now check out what other listeners thought! Some surprising and insightful comments here, and a whole lot of high praise (with a few grains of salt thrown in to bring things down to earth). So great that so many of you sent in your thoughts! Clearly this show is resonating with Walking Dead fans, and that of course makes us really happy. So looking forward to the rest of the season.

At last, it’s the first episode of The Last of Us, and Ben, Lucy, and Jason are on deck to talk it out. What an incredible adaptation of an amazing game! Those zeds are just fantastic, the way they lurch around and move all herky jerky :) Love it. In this ep, we go in-depth about the premiere and also compare and contrast with the game. 

Glad to have y’all listening! People seemed to love the show, which makes for an exciting start to this next phase of this podcast. We want to knock this baby up to the top of the charts, so tell your friends who love this show about us! We’re easily found at thecastofus.com. Cheers guys.

Step into the Wayback Machine and travel with us to 2013 when Mr. Blahg (aka Erik) and Jason we’re fresh off of their first playthroughs of The Last of Us and eager to express how fucking great they thought the game was! There’s a quick mildly-spoilery review, and a more in-depth review for those who’ve played the game.
