Should there be a Christmas episode? Is the plot too simple? REMEMBER: The Instant Take will be this Friday evening after the premiere of episode five.
David and John take a road trip with Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us, the latest hit from HBO.

It doesn’t matter how much you push the envelope..it will always be stationary. HA! Get it?? If you didn’t chuckle at that, you might be dead inside like Joel. After the love story interlude of last week, we’re back with Joel and Ellie in their dangerous, cross-country bonding adventure. The real threats? People and coffee addiction.

We take a bit of a detour this week to spend some time with Joel’s acquaintance, Bill. He’s a prepper… excuse me, a “survivalist”, whose subterranean bunker is buried only slightly deeper than his heart. Join us for the instant take to hear our first impressions of The Last of Us – S01E03 – Long Long Time.
Jim and A.Ron have harvested organic, free-range fungal feedback for you to consume. Are the trailers telling too much? Is Ellie the only immune human? Is someone out there eating raw flour? What is the rest of the world up to? On top of the questions we have a documentary recommendation and an article for you to check out.
