“Self Help”, the fifth installment of season five of The Walking Dead was an episode of television. Of that there is no doubt. Was it any good? Wellll…. If you want to give us a shout out, or otherwise give us a piece of your mind, email us, check us out on Facebook, or Tweet us.…
“Slabtown” was like a sour apple sucker jammed unwillingly down Jim and A.Ron’s throat. While in concept Granny Smith flavored sucker isn’t entirely without appeal, the delivery left much to be desired. In this we talk about all natural pain relief, the density of guinea pigs, gun lovers versus gun fanciers, and critique the rooftop gardens…
Jim and A.Ron are less than thrilled with the fourth episode of this season of The Walking Dead, “Slabtown”. We find ourselves in an Orwellian retelling of Animal Farm, with lots of Beth, talk of the “common good”, lollipops, guinea pigs, would-be-rapist pigs, slappy pigs, horseshit escape attempts, and just when you think the episode…
Jim and A.Ron have a blast talking more in depth about their problems with The Walking Dead’s latest episode, 503, “Four Walls And A Roof”. We talk about monologues, stupid plans gone awry, Kirkman’s REEEMMMIIIXXX mode, tainted meat, proper cannibal nutrition, automotive exterior lighting, and much, much more. All this, a metric ton of feedback,…
HBO’s Boardwalk Empire has come to it’s inevitable conclusion, and A.Ron and Jim are at peace with it. In fact, we think it’s beautiful and painful in a way that Boardwalk finales tend to be, if not more so. Things get dusty when fathers say goodbye to sons, and brothers say goodbye to brothers, and…

In this Speakeasy podcast, covering episode 507 of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, “Friendless Child”, Jim talks A.Ron off a ledge, they decide to write their own perfect conclusion to the series, they marvel at the level of dishevelment Eli Thompson brings to bear, wonder at just how terrible Willie is at avoiding kidnappings and traps, and…
Welcome to our instant take podcast for The Walking Dead episode 502, “Strangers”. In this episode, Walkers get soggy, Rick get’s suspicious, Carol gets flighty, Daryl gets a clue, Tyrese is exposed as fraudulent, and Bob gets eaten… but not in the normal, everyday, The Walking Dead sense of the word. If you want to give…
Episode 501 of The Walking Dead, “No Sanctuary” got the season off to a great start. Lots of action, lots of zombies, reasonably intelligent survivor decision making processes, the Ricktatorship being usurped by the Glennocracy before ultimately and rightfully bowing down before the Caroligarchy. All this, tons of listener feedback right out the gate, and our spoiler…
