We Know The Walking Dead

Jess (@HaymakerHattie), Chappell (@Chappells_Show), and AJ (@AJMass) would like to speak to the manager, but until that happens, they're here to speak to you about everything that happened in this week's episode of "The Walking Dead." Questions discussed include: Who were those guys who died? Was Dog a good boy or a bad dog? What exactly is the Commonwealth's metrics for admittance? And was Maggie's monologue a ripoff or an homage?

Warning: this podcast contains mild spoilers for the Walking Dead comics as well as "Psycho," "The X-Files," "The Stand," "I Am Legend," "Total Recall," "Perry Mason," and the book of Genesis.

Season 11 of The Walking Dead is now underway, and Jess (@HaymakerHattie), Chappell, (@Chappells_show), and AJ (@AJMass) are ready to descend into the darkness to unpack everything that happened. They'll try to figure out why Ezekiel, Princess, Yumiko, and Eugene are being asked so many weird questions; attempt to puzzle out exactly what was up with that subway tunnel full of plastic bags; and analyze the finer points of the Maggie/Negan conflict. They'll also write their wishlists for the series finale and call their shots as to how long these particular arcs will take to resolve.

Warning: this episode contains some minor spoilers from the Walking Dead comics as well as minor spoilers from "Game of Thrones," the "Harry Potter" series, "Star Trek IV," "Animal House," "The Sandlot," "Six Feet Under," "Hellraiser," and probably a few more.

Season 6 of "Fear the Walking Dead" has gone out with a bang, but somehow Jess (@HaymakerHattie), Chappell (@Chappells_Show), and AJ (@AJMass) have all survived to tell the tale. As they recount the events of the season finale, they'll talk about which characters they actually still care about, what intriguing plot twists the writers apparently chickened out on at the last minute, how they would have rescued Baby Morgan, why this show has no idea how to resolve loose ends, and where they'd like things to pick up in season 7. They'll also give a rundown of what's next in the universe of "The Walking Dead" (Season 11 of the flagship premieres on August 22).

We couldn't put this podcast to bed without spoiling a few other shows for you, so be warned that this podcast spoils major or minor plot points of "Finding Nemo," "Titanic," "Good Will Hunting," "Three's Company," "Independence Day," "The Mandalorian," "Game of Thrones," and the "Harry Potter" series.

Ahoy, mateys! Arm your battle stations and prepare to do a deep dive into the penultimate episode of season six of Fear the Walking Dead with your crew, Jess (@HaymakerHattie), Chappell (@Chappells_Show), and AJ (@AJMass). Much like the characters on this episode, they'll stumble through the darkness trying to figure out what's going on. Along the way, they'll try to figure out the best way to introduce Madison Clark to the madness, decide who of the cast they can afford to lose next week, rewrite the episode so that the pacing makes more sense, and place their bets on where that nuclear missile's eventually going to land.

You have been here before. If by "here" you mean the "Fear the Walking Dead" recap podcast with Jess (@HaymakerHattie), Josh (@roundhoward), Chappell (@Chappells_show) and AJ (@AJMass). Join them on the strangest road trip since the Filthy Woman days, and they'll discuss the finer points of this week's episode including the triumphant return of old friends from the stadium days, what should have happened to Dakota this week, whether they'd choose to be highway robbers or join the serial killer cult, whose acting chops are far too good for this show, and wonder what kind of global superpower designs a bunker that only opens from the outside. They'll find new ways in which this show serves as a "Sliding Doors" universe where they can explore choices that didn't get made in "The Walking Dead," as well as speculate on what Season 7 will look like and once again demand the program stop trolling us and give us Madison Clark back already.

Please be forewarned that this podcast spoils plot points from "Fear the Walking Dead" as well as "How I Met Your Mother," "Zombieland," "The 100," "Game of Thrones," "Beverly Hills 90210," "The Shawshank Redemption," various Pixar movies, and the stage plays "Three Sisters" and "'Night, Mother."

Jess (@HaymakerHattie) and Chappell (@Chappells_Show) welcome AJ Mass (@AJMass) and JD Wigler (@roundhoward) to help them welcome John Dorie Senior (Keith Carradine) to the Fear the Walking Dead Universe. They'll discuss the implausibility of John Dorie Senior's arrival into the Fear universe; speculate on exactly how Teddy broke out of prison; look to the state of the universe on "The Walking Dead" and "The Walking Dead: World Beyond" to predict what will happen next on this show that's several years behind those franchises; and tear their hair out at the number of obvious moves this show is making to troll its audience into thinking Madison Clark is returning.

It's slightly less fun to put this disclaimer into the show notes now that we've lampshaded it on the podcast, but this podcast contains spoilers for "The Walking Dead" proper as well as "Deadwood," "Beerfest," "LOST," "A Christmas Carol," "Breaking Dawn," "The Shining," "Suicide Squad," "Hannibal," and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows vol. 2."

No, it's not a dream, you really are listening to the the Post Show Recaps coverage of "Fear the Walking Dead"'s latest episode! Here to break down everything that happened in Season 6, Episode 12, "In Dreams," is the dream team of Jessica Liese (@HaymakerHattie) and guest co-host AJ Mass (@AJMass). They'll try to pinpoint when exactly they knew the episode's big twist was coming, decide which Roy Orbison song might have been a better fit for the theme (and which songs you should never put on a mix tape for your unborn child), discuss whether the actual future we'll get will necessarily have to be the exact opposite of everything we saw in the fake future, and trade their favorite time-travel-media moments that are gut-wrenching to parents.

Warning: this podcast does spoil the name of one guest star on next week's "Fear the Walking Dead," and it also spoils plot elements of "The Walking Dead" proper, "Blue Velvet," "Happy Gilmore," "LOST," "Dexter," "Call the Midwife," "Offspring," "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Star Trek: Voyager," "About Time," "Journeyman," and "Wayne's World."
