Joined by special guest, sci-fi enthusiast and Walker Stalker AV wizard Stefan, we cover that movie, the latest news about TWD (including some significant new rumors about the companion series), your feedback, and the return of Stuff That's Great!

This week we've got a lot of both as we talk about "Crossed." Also big thanks to Emily Kinney for joining me for an in-depth and longtime coming interview. We talk about her music, her thoughts on art, acting, and using emotion in your art and life, what it's like to smash a jar of lollipops against a man's head, and her thoughts on some of Beth's biggest moments over her time on TWD.

(http://www.walkingdeadcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Josh-mcdermitt-200x300.jpg)A little bonus episode for you—a great, in-depth interview with non-scientist Josh McDermitt. We talk about: * An interesting new (to me anyway) fact about how the zombie sounds are made for the show. * How he gets into character. * More about how much Eugene had thought out his "cure" and the cause of the zombie breakout. * What it was like to film the emotional scene where Eugene finally admits he's "NOT A SCIENTIST!" * His resting bitch face. * Whether Karen or I was right about whether Eugene saw that Abraham was about to off himself when they first met. * And a bunch more.
