The 'Cast of Us: A Last of Us & Walking Dead 'Cast – Details, episodes & analysis

Lovely to read all your messages this week, as usual, and we especially appreciate you expressing support for our occasional tangents :) Merci. Also, I thought the reaction to Daryl and Isabelle’s kiss would be more divided. I mean it was divided, but not as much as I thought.

An episode of betrayals on all fronts, and one that opened up some interesting lines of thought for both of us about doubt, faith, and choice.

Lucy’s back and it’s the episode with the epic badass fight with Glenn bound to a chair vs. a zed. So cool! When I found out this was that ep, I was excited to watch it. Turns out it had a bunch of other great stuff in it too.

Okay, after that clicker scene I may not ever need to watch any other “zombie-esque” show again. So freaking cool!! And so much to love about the rest of the show, too. Get ready for some deep appreciation (along with a few very minor quibbles) from Jason, Rima, and Erik.

You heard what we thought of the premiere, now check out what other listeners thought! Some surprising and insightful comments here, and a whole lot of high praise (with a few grains of salt thrown in to bring things down to earth). So great that so many of you sent in your thoughts! Clearly this show is resonating with Walking Dead fans, and that of course makes us really happy. So looking forward to the rest of the season.

At last, it’s the first episode of The Last of Us, and Ben, Lucy, and Jason are on deck to talk it out. What an incredible adaptation of an amazing game! Those zeds are just fantastic, the way they lurch around and move all herky jerky :) Love it. In this ep, we go in-depth about the premiere and also compare and contrast with the game. 

Glad to have y’all listening! People seemed to love the show, which makes for an exciting start to this next phase of this podcast. We want to knock this baby up to the top of the charts, so tell your friends who love this show about us! We’re easily found at thecastofus.com. Cheers guys.
