The Walking Dead ‘Cast (MP3 Version)

(http://www.walkingdeadcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Walking-Dead-118-cover.jpg) And now for something a little different! At your request (well, some of ya anyway) we're spinning off our Under the Comic Covers segments into their own episodes, and here's the first one. In this episode, Mr. Blahg, Gracie Lou, and special guest, me, review The Walking Dead issue #118, the fourth issue in the current All Out War mega-arc. This episode is entirely about the comic book, so if you're not caught up and don't want to be spoiled on it, hang tight and we'll catch you in a few. And by the way, this doesn't mean Karen and I will be podcasting any less than usual. It just means each time a new issue of the comic is released, you comic lovers will get a bonus. Let us know what you think, and if you have any requests or ideas!

(http://www.walkingdeadcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Screen-Shot-2013-12-06-at-1.03.46-AM.png) It was a genuine privilege for Karen and I to be able to talk with Scott Wilson after his momentous exit from The Walking Dead last week, and he was as sweet and charming as ever. Listen in as he talks about: • What it was like to film his death scene. • What Hershel would say to Maggie and Beth if he had the chance. • What he'll miss most about TWD and whether he'll keep watching. • What he wants to do next. • And a lot more (including, yes, a lot of gushing from us). Enjoy, and we'll be back later this month to talk Breaking Bad! Thanks to those of you who gave us ideas for interview questions on Facebook (we're at facebook.com/deadcast (http://www.facebook.com/deadcast) if you didn't know). We got a few of them in! :) And thanks to everyone who's been rating us and writing reviews in iTunes. I think it helps us get interviews like this one. Haven't left one for us yet?

Join us in this extra-long podcast as we go into detail about our thoughts. Lots to talk about re: the comic this week too: In Comic Talk Jaden goes over the many similarities between this ep and the comic, and throws in a few informed predictions. And Gracie Lou and Mr. Blahg go Under the Comic Covers to give you their review of issue #117, released last week. All that and a ton of great email and calls from you guys, many of whom wrote in for the first time. Thanks all, we appreciate each and every one of you. Catch us in a few weeks when our good friend Lissy joins us to review the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad (and rewatch 'em along with us in the meantime). And we'll do a couple more episodes in January and then be back for the second half of TWD S4 in early Feb. Happy holidays everybody. Peace.

It was a pleasure to speak with Chad as he thoughtfully answered everything we wanted to know. Join me and special guest Brittany as we find out things like: • What Tyreese would've done if he had found out Carol killed Karen before she left the prison (his answer might surprise you—it did me). • What it was like to film that crazy scene by the road where Tyreese hammers his way through a massive crowd of zeds. • How Chad sees the relationship between Tyreese and Rick. • What was going on in the S3 finale when Tyreese abruptly left the room seeming like he had a purpose. • How working on TWD compares to his time on the acclaimed HBO show The Wire. • And much more! Hope you enjoy the interview as much as we did! For all our listeners in the U.S., happy Thanksgiving!

(http://www.walkingdeadcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Unknown.jpeg) Such a pleasure to talk with Angela Kang, writer of last Sunday's excellently horrific episode, "Infected." She was gracious, open, and lots of fun. Joined by temporary cohost and fantabulous listener Pi'ilani, we asked Angela about a lot of things, including: • How season four is shaping up. • Whether she deliberately strives to write TWD like a classic horror movie. • What's going on with several characters old and new, including Rick, Michonne, Tyreese, Lizzie and Mika. • Whether she would have voted to kill Randall back in season two. • And a lot more.
