Was It Good Though? Podcast

This week, we're diving into The Last of Us: Season Two, for episode 159. The video game adaptation that has everyone talking. We brought in KC, a true fan of the game, to help us break it all down. Did Season 2 fall short, stay true to the game, or just suffer from some questionable casting choices? We explore it all. Plus, we ask the tough questions,"If you were Joel, would you have saved Ellie?", "Was the lie about Eugene justified?", and"How has Ellie’s character evolved over the past two seasons?". Jason also mentioned, in a non-apocalyptic world…Ellie isn't pulling Dina. We get right into is and of course, we end with the ultimate question: Was It Good Though?
