It's a rare occasion when Jason and I spend any amount of time talking about something other than The Walking Dead. It happened once before with ping pong, and it happens again tonight with The Avengers. After our mini review of that movie, we move on to The Walking Dead news, a quick review of the recently released Telltale video game, and a short bit of listener feedback.

This week in the news:

The Walking Dead has officially started filming season 3

E! Online reveals new character

Michael Rooker teases Merle's return in season 3

Exclusives at San Diego Comic Con

Robert Kirkman vs. Tony Moore update

LA Noir picks up former Walking Dead actors

The Walking Dead continues to dominate book stores

We decided to delay our David Morrissey actor spotlight, due to a poor movie selection on my part. We'll be doing that in two weeks instead, and watching the entire Red Riding trilogy in addition to Stoned, The Reaping, and Blackpool Episode 1.

Listener Andrew was nice enough to send in a couple of pictures of Halligan Bars. Check them out...
