210 – “18 Miles Out” – Watching Dead
Jim and A.Ron are conflicted this episode. There are parts of our favorite AMC zombie-based dramedy that are brilliant, and parts that almost gave us brain aneurysms. Find out which are which as we discuss zombie waterfalls, Andrea Kavorkian, Rick being silent but deadly, Lori extolling the benefits of being pregnant and in the kitchen, and torture by Molly Hatchet. See you at the crossroads (so you won’t be lonely)!
Note: For whatever reason, we’re running high-octane spoilers this whole min-season, so steer clear of our spoiler section if you want to remain pure. Remember, you’re always going to be safe and spoiler free if you turn off your player before our outro music plays.

Interview with Justified Writer/Producer Taylor Elmore
Thanks to listener Ed K, we were put in touch with Writer/Producer for FX’s Justified, Taylor Elmore. Mr. Elmore was kind enough to give us about an hour of his time for a wide ranging interview that touches on his history with the show, the process for creating Justified, his thoughts and opinions on the plot, writing, and production of the show, and a few tidbits about up coming plot points for the second half of season three!
Special thanks goes out to our listeners who contributed some of the questions; Sandy, Michael G, Lucas, Daniel M, and redditors TheGreatNinjaYuffie, sniffles_snort, and notonekind. It was fun, we’ll have to do it again, sometime, maybe as a season three wrap up?

304 – “Devil You Know” – Justified
Ho-ho-hold your horses, now! We got a brand new episode of Justified to talk about! It’s a particularly brilliant one, the dialog was just amazing.
We discuss Carpetbagger’s imitation preacher routine, Devil’s loyalty, Dickie’s swagger, Raylan’s race relations, Boyd’s pitter patter, the finer points of vehicular assault, and the three point turning of pig shit.

303 – “Harlan Roulette” – Justified
What a great episode! It had it all, a cool “gangster of the week”, maximized levels of Raylan and Boyd badassery, links to the main season arc… really, you can’t ask for much more from a show.
We talk about why we feel like this episode works so well, the many versions of Boyd the show has presented us, Raylan’s recovery, why we’ve firmly come down on the “anti” side of the Raylan/Winona shipper debate, this show’s Breaking Bad and Taxi Driver allusions, and Johnny Crowder’s loyalty. We also consider some fan feedback, including another fantastic segment from our own embedded reporter, Ted. Check out the article he linked for us detailing show runner Graham Yost’s visit to Harlan County!
