564: Let's Get Ready for The Ones Who Live!

It’s the classic 1985 zombie comedy, The Return of the Living Dead, the first movie where the zombies said “Braaaiiiinnnns!” And it’s also the return of Karen! I can’t believe Karen and I never covered this one before. It was a blast to talk it through with her and Lucy, and to just kind of let the conversation go wherever it wanted.

560: "Chupacabra" (TWD S2E5 Rewatch)

Man, these episodes take on a new flavor when you’ve spent a lot of time with the characters and know how things turn out. I won’t spoil the whole podcast, but I (Jason) always thought Daryl’s Cherokee Rose speech was cheesy, and now I just think it’s really sweet.

559: "Cherokee Rose" (TWD S2E4 Rewatch)

An iconic episode of The Walking Dead this week, maybe the first big “holy shit” moment, and a turning point for the series and definitely for Shane. What do you think? Was Shane right or wrong? Lucy and Jason are joined by Karen Shih to talk it through. As always, we want your feedback (and zombie sounds) as we go back through The Walking Dead.

558: "Save the Last One" (TWD S2E3 Rewatch)

So great to see the first appearance of the Greene family, with Maggie galloping in and saving the day with her bat (!), and Hershel confidently using his veterinarian skillz to save poor little Carl. As capable and confident as they are, that’s how broken down Rick is. Poor dude.Want to help us keep the rewatch going?Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it.

557: "Bloodletting" (TWD S2E2 Rewatch)

On to TWD season 2, and even though a few characters are starting to get pretty annoying, it was a delight to revisit this premiere and to see some of it in a new light.Want to help us keep the rewatch going?Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it.

556: "What Lies Ahead" (TWD S2E1 Rewatch)

After wrapping TWD season 1, take a quick detour over to Japan with us for the acclaimed 2017 Japanese zombie head-trip of a movie, One Cut of the Dead. The movie is available to stream on AMC+ and Shudder, and you can rent or buy it on other platforms. And we do recommend checking it out before listening to the podcast, and make sure to keep watching past the 37-minute mark….Plus, it’s been awhile since we talked about any news on The Last of Us, and there is some, so we talk about it!You might be wondering why Lucy and I aren’t covering Return of the Living Dead as we had planned, and that’s because Lucy is out sick :( Hoping she’ll feel better ASAP. In the meantime, I’m happy to be joined by longtime listeners and Podcastica hosts, Randy and Kara.One Cut of the Dead Mission: Remote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QGi6Y6NZLICheck out Kara’s podcast, Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast: https://podcastica.com/podcast/still-slaying-a-buffy-verse-podcastShow support and get ad-free episodes and a bunch of other cool stuff: patreon.com/jasoncabassiOr go to buymeacoffee.com/cabassi for a one-time donation.

555: One Cut of the Dead (2017)

It’s the end of season one with this rather strange episode in the history of TWD, with themes of sexual assault and suicide in this weirdly super-high-tech facility with the lone scientist who seems to know more about the ZA than anyone.

554: "TS-19" (TWD S1E6 Rewatch)

It’s the aftermath of the zombie attack on camp, and the group is shaken and has a bunch of decisions to make, like weather to kill Jim just because he was bitten, whether to go to an army base or the CDC, and in Shane’s case, whether to shoot his best friend so he can have a shot with his wife. What a stand up guy. Glad to be joined by Peter this week to help Lucy and me talk it out! Want to help us keep the rewatch going?Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it.

553: "Wildfire" (TWD S1E5 Rewatch)

If you’re a fan of Fear the Walking Dead, well… honestly you should probably skip this one, but lemme tell you, we had a blast recording it :) We’re thrilled to be joined by our favorite FTWD critic, Erik Kain, whose scathingly accurate reviews at Forbes you may have heard Lucy and I fawning over throughout the years. Erik helped us send FTWD off in appropriate fashion, along with a bunch of cathartic messages from y’all.Erik Kain’s stuff can be found:On Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/?sh=16e0aa4643abOn Twitter / X: https://x.com/erikkainOn YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/erikkainShow support and get ad-free episodes and a bunch of other cool stuff: patreon.com/jasoncabassiOr go to buymeacoffee.com/cabassi for a one-time donation.

552: FTWD Series Finale Rant (with Erik Kain of Forbes)

So fun to be re-evaluating these episodes. We both liked this one better on rewatch and found it had more depth and humor than we realized before. But we always appreciated the first time we saw a zombie bite or kill anyone, even though we were both sad to see Amy go (but of course not Ed).

551: "Vatos" (TWD S1E4 Rewatch)

Look at all those baby faces! It’s the first appearance of Carol and Daryl this week, and we see them in a new light considering how much they’ve changed and grown over the years since. I mean, Daryl’s sipping champagne in Paris on the regular nowadays, and Carol will put out a fire with yo face.Dina’s Daryl Dixon Naughty FanFic Blooper Reel: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zei8Ob2pht8ciVJCt2n7ASVXAKHw65qwFn6s4PHe19E/edit?usp=sharing TikTok of Andy Chen, the guy who’s making the Spider-Man horror movie starring Chandler Riggs as Peter Parker: https://www.tiktok.com/@locustgarden Rewatch has been loads of fun so far.

550: "Tell It to the Frogs" (TWD S1E3 Rewatch)
