Squawking Dead

Originally Recorded: 2022.12.05 Including your submissions (which overlapped with many of theirs): Rachael, Sherrandy, and Bridget discuss their TOP 5 favorite episodes of The Walking Dead!

Missed our last podcast, where we broke the news coming out of 2023's Wonder Con Panels (both The Walking Dead: Dead City and, more specifically, Fear The Walking Dead's 8th Season)? We jump back into the saddle - all 4 of us, this time - with a livestreamed audience to break down Fear The Walking Dead's Season 8 teaser trailer that was dropped during the panel.

Since there's no livestream to watch these panels, we're aggregating the news coming out of both the #TWDDeadCity & #FearTWD (Season 8 / The Final Season) panels! A big thanks to those who participated in the 3-hour-long livestream and to the amazing journalists and superfans who made this podcast possible!

Our FULL BREAKDOWN of The Last of Us' inaugural SEASON FINALE: Maybe it isn't as much about whether the world is worth saving but how far one is willing to go to preserve a beautiful soul that deserves a chance at living... even if it means lying.

Originally Recorded: 2022/11/20 Captain Bell is a former Drill Instructor, current Bad-Ass Mo-Fo, and (as a background actor on The Walking Dead) will live on as a former member of The Saviors who died a hero in The Whisperers War as a member of The Hilltop. As a close #TWDFamily member, beloved by many a fan, he speaks about his love for The Walking Dead (comic book), what it took to be a part of the cast, and a few of his most cherished moments on set.

…He Shall Provide, because #EllieWilliams managed to take down Teacher-turned-Preacher-turned-Kindling, David, all on her own. `Nuff said, right?

NEVER GIVE UP; NEVER SURRENDER: we flashback just before the present-day events of the first episode to contextualize Ellie's headspace as she moves heaven and earth to save Joel. Having rededicated herself to FEDRA academy, Riley shows up to whisk Ellie away to experience "the 4 wonders of the mall", making it both the best and worst day of her life. Both in this episode and the last one, we've left out our shorter post-watch livestream takes from these audio podcasts - both in the interest in time and because we appreciate your patience too much to leave them in!

After our Reaction Video, we go through the finer points in our full breakdown: In many ways - largely understated - the series is careening towards an end we may not be fully prepared for: Joel & Tommy reconcile over 20 years worth of baggage, which allows Joel to quickly recover nearly demolishing his bond with Ellie. Just when things started looking up - in ways we never thought we'd get to see - they suddenly take a violent turn.

The second half of The Kansas City post-revolution drama unfolds to plug-in the missing gaps in the first half. In doing so, the audience is confronted with the question that plagues all characters: how far are you willing to go to save the ones you love?

Originally Recorded: 2022.11.20 We're not sure who abducted whom, for this particular interview: ChrisTwellmann / German Abraham is wanted for stealing Michael Cudlitz's face, as depicted on The Walking Dead as Sgt Abraham Ford. He's an artist, photographer, and entrepreneur but - above all else - he's #TWDFamily and he's got stories!

People, amiright? The most obvious observation from our reaction livestream is the further cementing bond between #JoelMiller & #EllieWilliams, with all it's peaks and valleys (but mostly by way of punny humor). What's not obvious is the human drama in which they suddenly find themselves engulfed.

Originally Recorded: 2022.11.20 Rachael kidnaps and has a chat with Carrie Genzel amidst the events of @thatsmyviewingparty - A #TWD Series Finale #WatchParty gathering in Covington, GA. She talks about being cast on #TheWalkingDead, what her days were like on set, and becoming part of the immediate #TWDFamily.

Mazin & Druckmann run a wild gambit on this episode of The Last of Us by giving Bill (and, subsequently, Frank) an incredible backstory in order to plant at least some of the seeds necessary to encourage the bond between Joel Miller & Ellie Williams. This episode contains both our initial reactions to and the full breakdown of our discussion, which we livestreamed both right after the public airing of this episode and two days later, after allowing this episode to digest, which you can take part in by subscribing to our YouTube Channel (and don't forget to enable all notifications because, if not, you won't see a blessed thing): YouTube.com/SQUAWKINGDEAD Considering these recordings were livestreamed, there's no unedited episode recording available; however, consider following either our Patreon or Ko-fi pages so you don't miss out on future recordings: recordings are FREE to attend, but schedules aren't posted on Social Media.

This episode of HBO's The Last of Us gave us a lot more motion and, oddly enough, contained another incredibly performed opening sequence that jumped us back to the past to give us more context to the thrilling events that occur in our characters' present. This episode contains both our initial reactions and follow-up thoughts on second watch, both of which you can get on the SQUAWKING DEAD YouTube channel (we recorded the reaction LIVE for folks who just watched to join in the afterglow).

BEYOND #TheWalkingDead UNVERSE, we go #LIVE just after #HBO's #TLoU, featuring #PedroPascal & #BellaRamsey! We'll be giving our own initial takes, as well as your own. Some of us have played the #videogames from where the source material is derived, but most of us haven't, so there should be a decent mix of judging the show on its merits while at least gleaning some #EasterEggs into the original #videogame series. Considering this is a #Livestreamed episode, there's no unedited episode recording available; however, consider at least following either our Patreon or Ko-fi accounts so you don't miss out on future recordings: recordings are FREE to attend, but schedules aren't posted on Social Media.

The timing of this #interview couldn't be better: As #TheWalkingDead comes to a close, what better time to resurrect the long dead #ShittyJared, himself, #JoshMikel? I say that because not only do we talk about his time on the show and life after #TWD, but some of the incredible things he has in store for all of you!

All good things must come to a close; but as one door shuts, several more have opened: between the return of #RickGrimes & #Michonne, the journey of #DarylDixon, and #Negan & #MaggieRhee's spin-off to NYC via #TWDDeadCity, there's much, much more to cover in the expanded #TWDUniverse. But, for now, we're going to #Livestream our thoughts & feelings about this particular episode. Considering the unedited episode recording is a publicly #LIVE Streamed episode, consider at least following either our Patreon & Ko-fi accounts so you don't miss out on future recordings: they're FREE to join and the only place we post our recording schedules - we don't make them publicly available on Social Media.

Major swings occurred throughout this episode that have adequately prepared us for the undoubted craziness that's to come in #TWD's #SeriesFinale! Will #JudithGrimes live? Is #Negan redeemed? And where's #JerryTWD?!

#FatherGabriel's words from the last episode carry through into this one, "People remember the last thing you do. The end of each story is very important. How do you want yours to end?". We get very close to what #Negan's redemption might look like. We learn that it takes ONE person to change the world... sometimes two... or three. But it starts with ONE. Just one.

It's not a rare thing for us to break down a scene and feel completely different things about it; however, it's seldom that we find ourselves disagreeing on almost every scene! I think that's what makes this episode so special: the audience has the potential to walk away feeling heard by one of us and, worst case scenario, knows their thoughts will be welcome in the comments and in #podcast ratings.
