Wars to Come: A Game of Thrones Podcast

In Episode 8×8, Troy and Seth wrap up the front half of AMC’s The Walking Dead by exploring the many ways that “How It’s Gotta Be,” the mid-season finale, failed. Both our hosts concur that the bloated, offensively bad MSF was a sadly appropriate way to end such a stinker of a season in general. And man oh man [...]

For yet another time this season, Troy and Seth do their best to work through the nonsense that has become The Walking Dead. In “Time for After,” a suddenly morally conflicted Eugene receives an inexplicable amount of screentime that is randomly interspersed with Daryl’s asinine plan to Leeroy Jenkins the Sanctuary. And for the love of all that is decent, [...]

Troy and Seth do their best to work through the mess that is “The King, the Widow, and Rick,” the latest bit of absurdity offered by AMC’s The Walking Dead. There’s no way to church it up, folks: this episode was an unmitigated disaster from stem to stern, and it certain doesn’t bode good tidings for the remaining two episodes [...]

For not the first time this season, and certainly not the last, Troy and Seth find themselves at an impasse in regards to the quality of “The Big Scary U,” the latest from The Walking Dead. From the Savior boardroom meetings to Rick and Daryl’s roadside tussle to Negan and Gabriel’s beleaguered trailer confession, this episode offered a lot. Sure, [...]

For the first time this season, both Troy and Seth really enjoyed an offering from The Walking Dead. Sure, “Some Guy” had a whole bunch of absurdity, but it was also emotionally grounded as it explored Ezekiel’s trials after the Saviors’ ambush on his people. It’s not often that we get a well-crafted episode from this show (okay, so it’s [...]

Join Troy and Seth as we discuss “Monsters,” the latest episode from AMC’s The Walking Dead. “Monsters” turns out to be the most problematic of the season so far, which is really saying something after the underwhelming first two episodes. From poorly conceived battle plans, to waffling moral philosophies, to a complete disregard for spatial continuity, “Monsters” offered little to [...]

Join us as we do a lengthy breakdown of “The Damned,” the latest episode from AMC’s The Walking Dead. Even by the show’s own middling standards, this episode fell short on several fundamental levels. The core of our problems arise from “The Damned” being bloated by too many storylines, all of which are predicated on what turn out to be [...]

Join Troy and Seth as we launch into our coverage of Season 8 of The Walking Dead. The season opener, “Mercy,” was a rather typical season premiere for the show, which means that it had plenty of problems, but also had enough cool shit to keep us moderately entertained. More than anything else, the latest from The Walking Dead gave [...]

Troy and Seth decided to kick of the Wayward Raconteur Movie Club with one of their most hotly anticipated movies of 2017 – Stephen King’s IT. In IT Happens Part 1, we set up the podcast by talking about how we became Stephen King fans in the first place, and how that influenced our expectations for the movie (especially with [...]
