Episode 168 - The Last of Us Premiere (w/Eli Holicky)

The year is officially started people with HBO's kick-off to their 2023 slate, as well as one of the most anticipated adaptations of the last few years with "The Last of Us." Based off the extremely popular Naughty Dog Video Game released in 2013, an film adaptation floundered in development hell before HBO finally got the rights to the game. The series was announced in 2020 from game creator Neil Druckman, with "Chernobyl" producers and creators Johann Renck & Craig Maizin producing and directing the pilot episode. Cast in the iconic roles of Joel & Ellie are both former Game of Thrones stars Pedro Pascal & Bella Ramsey, alongside a supporting cast that includes the likes of Anna Torv, Nick Offerman, Murray Bartlet, Gabriel Luna & Nico Parker. The premiere covers roughly the first opening minutes of the gameplay, and has been received very well by the critics and the fanbase alike. Dom is joined once again by Eli to break down everything the premiere has going for it, where it's going in the future and more! Be sure to keep coming back for more great content on the #talkintvpodcast as we enter further into our fifth season!
