605 – Now

November 10, 2015 21:25 - 2 hours - 58.4 MB

Jim and A.Ron are divided about their opinions on episode 605 of The Walking Dead, "Now". One host thinks it was a basically good episode with a few peculiar TWD tics dragging the overall goodness down, while the other disliked the majority of the episode despite it having a few bright parts. Which host had which opinion may surprise you...

605 – Now – Instant Take

November 09, 2015 03:40 - 17 minutes - 8.27 MB

Jim and A.Ron have some off the cuff thoughts and observations, an "Instant Take", if you will, of episode 605 of The Walking Dead, "Now". From manic city planning of hope, to entitled pantry raiding of despair, we have all of the emotional and factual angles covered as deep as one watch and 15 minutes will get us. We'll be back Tuesday with our full coverage cast with loads more and tons of feedback. See you then!

604 – Here’s Not Here

November 03, 2015 20:55 - 1 hour - 54.8 MB

Jim and A.Ron have had a few days to ponder the Morgan-centric episode of The Walking Dead, "Here's Not Here", and while it still suffers from some conceptual flaws and it's unfortunate place in the meta-narrative, there is still a lot to like here... We discuss the finer points of goat milking, the zeal and desperation of the newly converted, the problems of an "all life is precious" worldview during a zombie apocalypse, ponder Eastman's Goo-goo Cluster supply as well as his possible Teenag...

604 – Here’s Not Here – Instant Take

November 02, 2015 04:00 - 14 minutes - 7.02 MB

Episode 604 of The Walking Dead, "Here's Not Here", seems like at least an above average episode, featuring superior acting from the two leads as well as a reasonably interesting and satisfying backstory to Morgan's otherwise inexplicable "all life is precious" philosophy. But the problem is, Glen just got killed and Rick has one foot in the grave, the other on the doorstep of a crappy run down RV, and that has a way of making 90 minutes of good television seem tedious.  That's our first imp...

603 – Thank You

October 27, 2015 23:05 - 2 hours - 65.8 MB

So, if you're not in the mood for a hate-cast on the fiasco of an episode that is The Walking Dead #603, "Thank You", it might be wise to bail now, and we'll see you next week. If you're angry and confused and looking to tear into the guts of "Thank You" like a herd of hungry zombies -- well friend, you've come to the right place. Jim and A.Ron rail against the frankly inexcusable and inexplicable jerking around The Walking Dead production team has been inflicting upon it's audience for the ...

603 – “Thank You” – Instant Cast

October 26, 2015 04:32 - 16 minutes - 8.21 MB

Sorry for the delay, we’ve been experiencing technical difficulties with the website this evening, but!  We did see episode 603 of The Walking Dead, “Thank You”, and have a lot of mixed feelings about it.  It just, I dunno, feels unreal, doesn’t it?  So, yeah, we talk about the Big Event that Happened, as well…

602 – “JSS”

October 20, 2015 22:50 - 1 hour - 51.7 MB

Jim and A.Ron must confess that they continue to be impressed with the storytelling and action on The Walking Dead. This week we're taking on episode 602, "JSS"... We discuss Carol's upcoming cooking show, Enid's torturous path towards her personal survival motto, Morgan's incessant Morgalizing, Carl's complicated feelings, and Jessie's surprising emergence as a survivor. All this, ton's of your feedback, and few fun surprises along the way.

602 – JSS – Instant Take

October 19, 2015 02:30 - 16 minutes - 7.91 MB

Jim and A.Ron are continuing to groove on The Walking Dead's sixth season, with the newest episode "JSS". Some minor quibbles with the rampant Morgalizing going on, we thoroughly enjoyed Bat-Carol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Morgan, Jesse completely destroying A.Ron's "not a survivor" theory, and the general chaos and pandemonium this episode brought. We'll be back with full coverage Tuesday, but until then use the links below to tell us what you're thinking!

601 – First Time Again

October 13, 2015 20:25 - 2 hours - 65.5 MB

The (Real) Walking Dead makes a confident return with episode 601, "First Time Again". We get sane Morgan, just-the-right-amount-of-crazy Rick, and thousands upon thousands of walkers. What can go wrong? Not much, as it turns out. An experiment with B&W photography could have been yet another failed attempt at artistry beyond their reach turned into a vital grounding technique to keep us in sync with an ever shifting time line, and those shifts did a heroes work plastering over some of th...

601 – First Time Again – Instant Take

October 12, 2015 03:00 - 10 minutes - 5.47 MB

The (Original Recipe) Walking Dead returns tonight with episode 601, "First Time Again", and we're relieved that it was actually pretty good! Packed with zombie action, rube goldberg-esque zombie herd management, and superior performances by Lennie James and Andrew Lincoln, it kept us entertained throughout the 1:30 run time. What did you think? Tell us using the links below, and we'll be back Tuesday for our full coverage cast!

Season Five Wrap Up

April 06, 2015 19:18 - 1 hour - 37.3 MB

516 – “Conquer”

March 31, 2015 21:40 - 2 hours - 70.8 MB

While it wasn't the perfect finale, Jim and A.Ron are liking where we leave our group for the season in the plus-sized podcast for the super-sized episode 516 of The Walking Dead, "Conquer"... We discuss Ricktatorship 2.0, the continued rise of the Caroligarchy, the puzzling degradation of the skill set of one Daryl "Master Tracker" Dixon, what to make of these Wolves on our borders, the rediscovery of one Teenage Morgan Ninja Turtle, and wonder if sunsets work differently on the East Coast a...

516i – “Conquer” Instant Take

March 30, 2015 03:10 - 20 minutes - 9.95 MB

Jim and A.Ron enjoyed a perfectly satisfying season five finale of The Walking Dead, episode 516 entitled, "Conquer", and although it wasn't as crazy as we had hoped, it laid a very nice foundation for next year... Hear our off the cuff observations and opinions, and then use these links to give us yours! We'll be back for the full cast Tuesday!

515 – “Try”

March 24, 2015 21:03 - 1 hour - 54.4 MB

We discuss rationing booze, the complete lack of any sort of follow through or effect on Deanna's "no guns, no going outside" policy, Glenn's righteous setting straight of Dickolous, Rick's "no", gobs and gobs of feedback, and a robust spoiler section contained by our cold rolled steel wall of outro music. Can't wait to see if they cap off a rather successful mini-arc with a pulse pumping season finale next week! See you then!

515 – “Try” – Instant Take

March 23, 2015 02:45 - 23 minutes - 11 MB

Jim and A.Ron are still digging what The Walking Dead is putting on, albeit with some reservations with what they're doing with Rick's and Sasha's character...

514 – “Spend”

March 17, 2015 20:17 - 1 hour - 52.8 MB

March 16, 2015 02:46 - 20 minutes - 9.73 MB

Jim and A.Ron were loving the extreme zombie carnage and credible character threats on display on this episode 514 of The Walking Dead, "Spend". But what did you think? Hit us up on the links below and let us know!

513 – “Forget”

March 10, 2015 23:35 - 2 hours - 56.8 MB

The Walking Dead is on something of a roll with episode 513, entitled "Forget". Jim and A.Ron continue to be entertained as our group of borderline psychopaths try to integrate into civil society, with sometimes hilarious, sometimes horrific consequences. This episode we discuss serious spaghetti, Carol putting the fear of Carol into poor Sam, Rick's hungry eyes, being bored to tears with Jesse's post-apocalyptic life speech, Abraham's life, and Michonne hanging up the old katana among many...

513 – “Forget” – Instant Take

March 09, 2015 02:36 - 17 minutes - 8.59 MB

Things got crazy in this episode 513 of AMC's The Walking Dead, "Forget". And by things we mean Sasha and Carol and by crazy be mean full on, house screaming, child scarring insane. In a good, and fun kind of way, of course. We talk about Rick's half measures kiss, Daryl the Horse Whisperer, Aron the Daryl Whisperer, and the surprising lack of Trumpface drama in the episode. Can't wait to hear what you all thought of it. See you back Tuesday!

512 – “Remember”

March 03, 2015 20:33 - 1 hour - 51.4 MB

Jim and A.Ron are digging the promise of a new direction in episode 512 of The Walking Dead, entitled "Remember"... In this podcast we discuss Stealth Possum, the underwhelming cold rolled steel fences of Alexandria, Undercover Carol, stupid teenager plots, ROTC-candy @$$es, and feral Daryl's difficulty in fitting in. All this plus your great feedback AND a extra sized spoiler edition.

512 – “Remember” – Instant Take

511 – “The Distance”

February 24, 2015 22:19 - 1 hour - 51.3 MB

Welcome to our coverage of The Walking Dead episode 511, "The Distance". A fine episode, most exciting due to the fact that we arrive at an intriguing new location with the hope of intriguing new characters, heroes, and villains to get to know and new situations and scenarios to explore. But, much like a darkened route 23 at night, we hit a few bumps on the way. Applesauce, broken ankles, a recalcitrant Rick, a zero turning radius RV, and broken shell acorn paste. Alls well that ends well...

511 – “The Distance” – Instant Take

February 23, 2015 03:45 - 20 minutes - 9.64 MB

Another Sunday, another Instant Cast for The Walking Dead, this time for episode 511, "The Distance". What did the guys think? What do you think? We'd love to know, so hit us up! We'll have the full cast out Tuesday. See you then!

510 – “Them” – Instant Take

February 16, 2015 03:49 - 20 minutes - 9.99 MB

A.Ron and Jim weren't impressed with the tenth outing of season five of The Walking Dead, "Them". It was slow, slogging through well worn territory of dealing with loss and grief and acceptance of the way the world is rather than the way the world should be. On the other hand, we got some cool zombie kung-fu via a nifty bridge sequence, and somebody finally told Gabriel to shut the EFF up already, so there's that. What did you think! Tell us, because the full cast is coming out Tuesday an...

509 – “What Happened and What’s Going On”

December 02, 2014 21:21 - 2 hours - 62.2 MB

We have arrived at yet another The Walking Dead mid-season finale, which crashed into the front steps of the church along with Abraham and company.  All of our groups have come back together to bravely face another half season, with one notable exception.  What is the final verdict on season 5A?  How did Carol make her…

December 01, 2014 03:49 - 18 minutes - 8.88 MB

Jim and A.Ron offer their initial impressions of The Walking Dead’s mid-season finale, episode 508 “Coda”.  On the one hand, it wasn’t as bad as we feared.  But that’s not the same as being good.  Which is also not the same as being bad.  It’s complicated, and we try to figure it out.  Join us…

507 – “Crossed”

November 25, 2014 22:57 - 2 hours - 56.8 MB

506 – “Consumed”

November 18, 2014 23:59 - 2 hours - 56 MB

506 – “Consumed” – Instant Take

November 17, 2014 03:54 - 19 minutes - 9.34 MB

This episode really showed me something, some heart, some history, some really disturbing use of camping gear.  I loved it almost start to finish, while Jim’s praise was more reserved. Will he see the light by the time of our full cast?  Stay tuned for Tuesday! If you want to give us a shout out,…

505 – “Self Help”

November 11, 2014 23:11 - 2 hours - 61.7 MB

This podcast for The Walking Dead episode 505, “Self Help”, has a lot going for it.  Abraham flashbacks, cool zombie deaths, some post apocalyptic sex, and lots of people making fun of Eugene.  But, as The Walking Dead is wont to do, there are also problems.  The flashbacks raise as many questions as they answer,…

504 – “Slabtown”

November 04, 2014 23:19 - 2 hours - 65.4 MB

“Slabtown” was like a sour apple sucker jammed unwillingly down Jim and A.Ron’s throat.  While in concept Granny Smith flavored sucker isn’t entirely without appeal, the delivery left much to be desired.  In this we talk about all natural pain relief, the density of guinea pigs, gun lovers versus gun fanciers, and critique the rooftop gardens…

504i – “Slabtown” – Instant Take

November 03, 2014 04:01 - 20 minutes - 9.67 MB

Jim and A.Ron are less than thrilled with the fourth episode of this season of The Walking Dead, “Slabtown”.  We find ourselves in an Orwellian retelling of Animal Farm, with lots of Beth, talk of the “common good”, lollipops, guinea pigs, would-be-rapist pigs, slappy pigs, horseshit escape attempts, and just when you think the episode…

Jim and A.Ron have a blast talking more in depth about their problems with The Walking Dead’s latest episode, 503, “Four Walls And A Roof”.  We talk about monologues, stupid plans gone awry, Kirkman’s REEEMMMIIIXXX mode, tainted meat, proper cannibal nutrition, automotive exterior lighting, and much, much more.  All this, a metric ton of feedback,…

503 – “Four Walls And A Roof” – Instant Take

October 27, 2014 03:12 - 29 minutes - 13.8 MB

Jim and A.Ron are underwhelmed and a bit puzzled by this episode.  Lots of really good stuff, but a lot of head scratching and disappointment, even as both admit that things turn out mostly okay by the end.  What did you think?  Did you like it, hate it?  Tell us all about it and see…

Welcome to our instant take podcast for The Walking Dead episode 502, “Strangers”.  In this episode, Walkers get soggy, Rick get’s suspicious, Carol gets flighty, Daryl gets a clue, Tyrese is exposed as fraudulent, and Bob gets eaten… but not in the normal, everyday, The Walking Dead sense of the word.

501 – “No Sanctuary”

October 15, 2014 00:56 - 1 hour - 53.9 MB

Episode 501 of The Walking Dead, “No Sanctuary” got the season off to a great start.  Lots of action, lots of zombies, reasonably intelligent survivor decision making processes, the Ricktatorship being usurped by the Glennocracy before ultimately and rightfully bowing down before the Caroligarchy.  All this, tons of listener feedback right out the gate, and our spoiler…
