162: Josh McDermitt (Eugene)
20/11/2014 Duration: 31minA little bonus episode for you—a great, in-depth interview with non-scientist Josh McDermitt. We talk about: An interesting new (to me anyway) fact about how the zombie sounds are made for the show. How he gets into character. More about how much Eugene had thought out his "cure" and the cause of the zombie breakout. What it was like to film the emotional scene where Eugene finally admits he's "NOT A SCIENTIST!" His resting bitch face. Whether Karen or I was right about whether Eugene saw that Abraham was about to off himself when they first met. And a bunch more.
