471: State of TWD + #Alive (2020)
18/06/2022 Duration: 01h29minHey all! Happy to be joined this week by one of my Yellowjackets cohosts, Penny. As the final eight episodes of our beloved series loom in the near future, we thought we’d chat a bit about our overall feelings about The Walking Dead. We talk about our favorite era of the show, favorite characters, where we thought the series most went wrong, predictions for the end of the series, and our thoughts on the spinoffs. And for the main event, it’s yet another Korean zombie thing, namely the excellent 2020 movie #Alive. It’s a simple movie, and it really gave me those old zombie goosebumps! Definitely recommend checking it out. You can catch it on Netflix.Thanks to our sponsor, Comixology Unlimited where you can get immediate access to 40k+ comics. Very cool!

470: Kingdom (Season Two)
31/05/2022 Duration: 01h33minIf you haven’t yet checked out Netflix’ Korean historical zombie thriller, Kingdom, you are seriously missing out. It’s so beautifully designed and staged, with incredible rage-zombie action, and Game-of-Thrones-style political intrigue, backstabbing, and shocking twists. Lucy and I are pleased to have Kingdom fan (and Lucy’s partner) Peter on to talk through the second season.

469: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
16/05/2022 Duration: 02h28minYou could say Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, directed by Sam Raimi of the Evil Dead movies and so much more, is Marvel’s version of a horror movie, with demons, dark magic, and at least one very prominent zombie, and so we thought why not talk about it on the Walking Dead ‘Cast! Yeah the movie had a problem or two, but there was so much we loved about it, and so much to talk about.Thrilled to be joined by my recent Moon Knight ‘Cast cohost Kirk Manley for this one, who knows so much about the history of Marvel comics, and of course is a fantastic artist in his own right.

If you’re in, please RSVP at podcastica.com/twdfinaleparty so we can get a headcount. It’s gonna be so much fun!King-size episode this week as we delve into THE LAST TWD MID-SEASON FINALE EVER!!! :`( Well, we thought it was a good one, and seemingly, hopefully kicked the story into high-gear for the final eight. Plus there was a ton of news and listener feedback (thank you!). And we finally got around to doing a big multi-issue Comic Talk segment comparing what happens with the Commonwealth in the comics vs. the show. Considering Rick was involved in the comics, things played out somewhat differently there and it’s kind of fascinating to think about the two alternate-reality versions of this story.Tales of the Walking Dead Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r18shR-xVY You can find our contact info and all our other shows at: podcastica.com Show support and get ad-free episodes: patreon.com/jasoncabassi or buyme

08/03/2022 Duration: 01h58minThis episode strolled through my door like a zombie shambles towards it’s prey, cold hearted and looking to take a bite out of me. It flashed me a beautiful smile, the kind of smile that could make you go blind. But it was like the front page of the paper, probably bad news.
