We had a spare hour one day last week, and we watched an episode of MacGyver from season one. It’s the one about the army ants we mentioned on The Walking Dead a few episodes back. It’s kind of insane.
This week we debate the horrors of being buried in asphalt vs. dumped into an ice-covered lake, praise Lou profusely, question where Hitler fits into this puzzle, and bring Lorne Malvo into the equation.
In the first episode of Direct, Eric and Levi get you on board with the podcast’s concept, talk a little bit about themselves, and preview director Quentin Tarantino’s film canon. Up next week: Reservoir Dogs.
Jim and A.Ron enjoy the tiny breather of an episode that is “Orange Sticker”. You can’t expect a show to go full throttle crazy times all season long, so we get to see The Leftovers get their characters setup for the inevitable next stomach punch. We discuss Nora’s denial, if Kevin really wants to die, if Jill is sleep walking, a ton of biblical references surrounding Babylon, and we top things off with a generous helping of feedback. See you next week!
So, if you’re not in the mood for a hate-cast on the fiasco of an episode that is The Walking Dead #603, “Thank You”, it might be wise to bail now, and we’ll see you next week. If you’re angry and confused and looking to tear into the guts of “Thank You” like a herd of hungry zombies — well friend, you’ve come to the right place. Jim and A.Ron rail against the frankly inexcusable and inexplicable jerking around The Walking Dead production team has been inflicting upon it’s audience for the last 48 hours. To say nothing of the strangely detached sense of geography and space, the tedious battle between the pragmatic veterans of Rick’s team and the naive idiots of Alexandria, the lazily crafted action sequences, the massive location oversights, the casual throwing away of of potentially interesting character arcs and developments just for shock value that they’ve been steadily undermining since the moment the episode finished airing. It’s infuriating. Hopefully, next week will be better, because, hey, Lennie James. See you then!

Special thanks to Tyler Shumway for commissioning this podcast, on 2004’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. If you haven’t seen it, I suggest doing so before you listen to the cast, as it’s a neat little movie with a lot of twists and turns that we’ll spoil mercilessly. Written by Charlie Kaufman and starring Jim Carey, Kate Winslet, and Elijah Wood among others, it’s a meditation on relationships and loss and why sometimes things just don’t work out, or maybe they can? We’ve got our opinions about the answers the movie has to offer, but I imagine there are lots of alternate solutions.
Sorry for the delay, we’ve been experiencing technical difficulties with the website this evening, but! We did see episode 603 of The Walking Dead, “Thank You”, and have a lot of mixed feelings about it. It just, I dunno, feels unreal, doesn’t it? So, yeah, we talk about the Big Event that Happened, as well…
