Beware of elderly ladies bearing raisin oatmeal cookies. HBO has another instant hit on their hands with their adaptation of the massively popular video game, The Last of Us. Pedro Pascal proves again that he’s one of the best actors on the planet. Whether you’ve played the game or not, this zombie survival story is sure to be an entertaining and harrowing time.
Did you see that first episode? Well so did we and we’re here to give our initial reactions to it. Join us for a spoiler-free conversation about how we thought the beginning of The Last of Us held up as a TV adaptation. We’ll be back on Tuesday with a breakdown of the episode and a more well-considered discussion.
The Last of Us is premiering on HBO soon and Bald Move is dodging clickers and breathing in the fungus to get you coverage. Former GOT cast members Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey star along with appearances from the original video game actors, Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker. With Craig Mazin, creator of Chernobyl, helming this project, this may succeed where The Walking Dead failed us.
It’s the end of an era. The Walking Dead has been around for a good chunk of everyone’s life at this point, so it’s time to poke fun one last time. Jim and A.Ron will cover the highs and lows of the series while going through your feedback. Listen in for favorite/least favorite characters, moments, episodes, and more. Thanks for joining us whether you’ve been here a few months or half of your life.
Welcome back survivors to the most loyal podcast to The Walking Dead. You’ve almost made it to the end. The final episode is upon us. This show died the way it lived; it was loud, the fights were over the top, and zombie guts were spilled. Overall, it was a mostly satisfying conclusion to a roller coaster of a series. Rest in piss, The Walking Dead.
We’re one episode away from the end. Somehow it feels like the show is dragging its feet but in other ways it feels like it’s moving too fast for its own good. Join us on the podcast to find out what we thought about the penultimate episode of The Walking Dead!
Steve and Anthony discuss the major differences between book and show in House of the Dragon. Then Anthony previews A Clash of Kings with Katherine Olley, Jason Eberl, and J.J. Hollenback. HT Jason Eberl: Portrait of El Primo.
Kim Renfro, entertainment reporter for Insider and co-host of A Cast of Kings joins A.Ron to talk about the book reader perspective on this season of HOTD. We talk the impact of the Song of Ice and Fire prophecy on the show and how it might connect with the other GOT spinoff series, compare notes on what it’s like to be the book reader with a non-reader co-host, discuss GRRM finishing the books and debate the wisdom of rebooting the original Game of Thrones series. We wrap things up with some well marked spoiler speculation on the fate of Laenor Velaryon!
All rise for the honorable judges A.Ron and Jim. Eugene, minus the bolo tie, is on trial. The charges? Lot’s of bad stuff. But the real thing on trial today is this show. Our faith in a satisfying ending is shaken. But can the entertaining moments redeem a potentially disastrous episode?
Hot-stove HOTD is heating up! But first, let’s hand out awards with NFL analyst Fran Duffy. Then religion expert Brenden Walsh helps Anthony gear up for the new season of Electric Bookaloo.
