The 'Cast of Us: The Walking Dead & The Last of Us

Rick dad joke memes aside, we still get so choked up at this episode. Goodbye to Lori and to T-Dog. You went out in an intense, iconic, rollercoaster of an episode.

While Lucy and Jason are on vacay, in a very special episode of The 'Cast of Us the characters from Welcome to the Apocalypse (Podcastica's improv show) have taken over! They've gotten their hands on the first episode of the Walking Dead and are seeing how it compares to their experience in the apocalypse, what lessons they can take from the show, and and who's hospital gown was more revealing.

It’s the Governor! Both Lucy and I were surprised at how enjoyable it was to revisit this character. And we had fun trying to imagine whether we’d have been more like Andrea in this situation (intrigued and impressed with the Governor and Woodbury) or like Michonne (suspicious as f#$k).

It’s a favorite episode, especially remembered for that badass no-dialog opening where they’re killing zeds like a well-oiled team. But we noticed a lot of different ways this episode starts to feel more like what The Walking Dead became at its peak, tonally, with characterizations, and in other little ways. It’s a great one.

And we come to the end of season 2…. and Hershel’s farm… and Rick’s sanity? And of course this is such a special episode, in part because it’s a fantastic season finale, but most of all for me (Jason) because I got to be a zed in it! And Lucy and I are SO pleased to be joined by Gracie Lou of Under the Comic Covers, who helped me get on the show and who was right there with me over four thrilling nights of filming. So join us as we talk through this season 2 finale and reminisce about our experience filming it. Enjoy!

Whatever your thoughts are about Shane, we think he went out in an amazing episode of the show. Dramatic and moody and impactful. We’re stoked to be joined by my friend Aaron Peterson of The Hollywood Outsider to talk it out.

Jason and guest cohosts Randy and Sam all hold Mad Max: Fury Road as one of the best action movies ever (it’s Jason’s all-time favorite). So we were all excited for the sequel, Furiosa. Did it live up to Fury Road? No, but it was thrilling, funny, artful, imaginative, brutal, thought-provoking, well-acted, visually stunning, and yes, had some problems too.

It’s the “Randall dilemma” episode, and I (Jason) was curious to know whether it would hit the same as it did 12 years ago. You’ll have to listen to find out.

Yech, the one where Andrea leaves suicidal Beth alone with a knife after promising Maggie she’d keep watch over her, and Lori argues that Andrea should stick with “women’s work”. A surprisingly good episode all things considered :P And we’re thrilled to be joined this week by Archmaester Renny, cohost of Dragon ‘Cast.
