The Last of Us

Jason — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 05:02:00 +0000

Below is the recently released trailer for an upcoming post-apocalyptic video game, The Last of Us. It’s by developer Naughty Dog, who also did the extremely highly acclaimed Drake’s Fortune series.

To me, this looks like it’s going to be a fantastic game, with lots of zombie scares, but rooted in story. The developers say that unlike with last year’s Dead Island teaser, the tone of this game will match its trailer.

I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye on this one!

Zombies of the Walking Dead Prints

Here’s a look at the zombie posters I mentioned in this week’s episode:

These are limited edition and signed by special-effects guru Greg Nicotero and artist Danny Miller. Get ‘em while they’re hot!

P.S. – We get no kickbacks for mentioning these, but I just think they look really cool :)

Own an Artifact from Night of the Living Dead

Jason — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:17:39 +0000

A few episodes ago we had Gary Streiner on, one of the filmmakers of the original classic, Night of the Living Dead. As you might remember, the cemetery chapel that appeared in the first scene of that movie is in danger of being demolished and Gary is raising money to save and restore it.

So, I just ordered one of the little coffins that Gary mentioned to us. Apparently, it contains some kind of “artifact” from the chapel. Not sure what it’ll be exactly, but I’m kind of excited to own a piece of NOTLD history :) Best of all, it’s not that expensive. It was like $15 with tax and shipping.

If you want to get one too, and help save the cemetery chapel in the process, go to fixthechapel.com.

Sneak Peek

Jason — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:00:07 +0000

Here’s a short scene with Shane in an upcoming episode of The Walking Dead. Not very spoilery.

Episode 52: Naughty Naughty Shane

Jason — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 02:04:45 +0000

This week after a quick intro we do our best to give you a break from our usual lavishing of praise on Glenn, and instead devote most of the episode to discussing the various and complex aspects of Shane Walsh. That, and the top five TV shows and movies we’d like to see overrun with zombies, the latest info about the show, and The News from Lake Zombiegone. Enjoy!

Episode 51: Lauren Cohan (Maggie) Interview

Jason — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 05:52:15 +0000

Two special guests today, as longtime listener, first time co-host Gracie Lou joins me to interview the talented Lauren Cohan, a.k.a. Maggie Greene. Lauren talks about why Maggie has been so hot and cold with Glenn, what she likes most about doing The Walking Dead, what it takes for a zombie to scare her, and a lot more. And best of all she gave us a particularly unique, rather animalistic zombie sound (rather pterodactyl-like, I’d say…. :)

Note: We talked with Lauren about upcoming story lines in the comic a bit, and so there are one or two potential spoilers. They’re just small ones, but if you’re completely spoiler-averse, you may want to skip this one (but then again as we’ve seen thus far, just because something happens in the comic doesn’t mean it will happen on the show).

And by the way, if you like what we’re doing, we especially appreciate getting reviews (or even just ratings) and subscriptions in iTunes. It’s easy, and even better, free. Here’s how:
1. Find our iTunes page here and then click “View in iTunes” (or just search for us in iTunes).
