It’s the classic 1985 zombie comedy, The Return of the Living Dead, the first movie where the zombies said “Braaaiiiinnnns!” And it’s also the return of Karen! I can’t believe Karen and I never covered this one before. It was a blast to talk it through with her and Lucy, and to just kind of let the conversation go wherever it wanted. Hope you enjoy :)

After this we’re getting ready for TWD: The Ones Who Live, and as always, we’d love to hear what you guys think. Next episode: Catching Up with Rick Grimes, plus our top 5 favorite things about Rick

Bonus ep! Thought you guys might like to check out Podcastica's first improv podcast, set (of course) in the zombie apocalypse, featuring Randy, Jenny, Robert, and special guests making their way through the walking-dead-infested landscape as best they can.

To hear more, go to podcastica.com/podcast/welcome-to-the-apocalypse or search for "Welcome to the Apocalypse" wherever you get your podcasts.

---

Welcome to the Apocalypse is an improvised podcast that pulls listeners into a post-apocalyptic world filled with scares, adventure, and dark humor.

Jenny, Randy, and Rob draw inspiration from apocalyptic TV shows and movies, as their characters navigate a deteriorating society, evade monsters, and encounter friends and foes that have been molded by the apocalypse.

In this episode, the group deals with their first zombie bite while encountering a yogurt-loving-man who may not be what he seems.

Man, these episodes take on a new flavor when you’ve spent a lot of time with the characters and know how things turn out. I won’t spoil the whole podcast, but I (Jason) always thought Daryl’s Cherokee Rose speech was cheesy, and now I just think it’s really sweet.

An iconic episode of The Walking Dead this week, maybe the first big “holy shit” moment, and a turning point for the series and definitely for Shane. What do you think? Was Shane right or wrong? Lucy and Jason are joined by Karen Shih to talk it through.

So great to see the first appearance of the Greene family, with Maggie galloping in and saving the day with her bat (!), and Hershel confidently using his veterinarian skillz to save poor little Carl. As capable and confident as they are, that’s how broken down Rick is. Poor dude.

Want to help us keep the rewatch going?

• If you’re in a Walking Dead Facebook group (or any other WD group), let them know too! I’d think people who are fans would be into it.

On to TWD season 2, and even though a few characters are starting to get pretty annoying, it was a delight to revisit this premiere and to see some of it in a new light.

After wrapping TWD season 1, take a quick detour over to Japan with us for the acclaimed 2017 Japanese zombie head-trip of a movie, One Cut of the Dead. The movie is available to stream on AMC+ and Shudder, and you can rent or buy it on other platforms. And we do recommend checking it out before listening to the podcast, and make sure to keep watching past the 37-minute mark….

Plus, it’s been awhile since we talked about any news on The Last of Us, and there is some, so we talk about it!

You might be wondering why Lucy and I aren’t covering Return of the Living Dead as we had planned, and that’s because Lucy is out sick :( Hoping she’ll feel better ASAP. In the meantime, I’m happy to be joined by longtime listeners and Podcastica hosts, Randy and Kara.
