Watching Dead: A The Ones Who Live Podcast

Latest Episodes:

806 – The King, The Widow and Rick Nov 28, 2017

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron are not sure whether to laugh or cry with the latest from AMC’s The Walking Dead, “The King, The Widow, and Rick”. On the one hand, this is a garbage show, now populated with literally, for real, garbage people. On the other hand, Rosita vaporized a guy with a rocket launcher. In a warehouse. From 30 feet away. That’s garbage, but it’s funny garbage. We break down this fiasco as per usual with supporting fire from our fellow fans in the feedback section.

805 – The Big Scary U Nov 20, 2017

Show notes

On this episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead, “The Big Scary U”, Gabriel hears Negan’s confession, Rick and possibly a live wildcat standing in for Daryl hit a rough patch while debating the meaning of “All Out War”, while the Council of Idiots decides what to do in the absence of their Dear Leader. And feedback. And a bit of spoiler section! Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Americans, and we’ll see you and the rest of the world next week!

804 – Some Guy Nov 14, 2017

Show notes

A.Ron and Jim praise and rip this episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead, “Some Guy”. We dug a lot of the high concept medieval horror going on, and if nothing else, Ezekiel is a particularly interesting personality to mine pathos out of in this worn out zombie apocalypse we’re stuck in. AND YET WE SMILE! Because those car chases were right out of 80’s action / comedy, Carol was kicking Savior butt and taking names, until the tragic and outrageous death of a beloved character. Then, feedback! See you next week…

803 – Monsters Nov 07, 2017

Show notes

A.Ron has lost his mind in Morgan fashion, coming out in favor of this episode, but just because he’s not right, that don’t make him wrong. Jim decries the heavy handed Morgalizing and shoddily constructed action, and then, just when we’re at our darkest hour, Guy Ferrari arrives to save the podcast.

802 – The Damned Oct 31, 2017

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron decry the debacle that was the latest episode of The Walking Dead, “The Damned”. If you liked the episode, I’m happy for you. But this is us explaining why we didn’t. There was a lot of action, but it had not context, and even if it did, a surprising amount was staged and executed so poorly you couldn’t tell if the good guys were winning or losing, even if you knew the objective. Worse, the rampant Morgalizing of seasons past has returned in a big way. This time, they’re hand wringing about what kind of people they’re going to be in the middle of heated gun fights to make it even more annoying. Ya’ll, we’re desperately hunkered down behind an armored car here, taking fire, waiting for a genuinely good episode to shamble over this season. Maybe next week?

801 – Mercy Oct 24, 2017

Show notes

A.Ron and Jim are a bit divided on this episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead, “Mercy”. “Mercy” seems to be the dominant theme of this season, with Rick’s warpath sharply contrasted to Carl’s desire for hope and open handedness. Lots of butt gets kicked this episode, surprisingly the majority of the butt kicked consists of glass panes and not Saviors or zombies. And there are a few head scratching flash forwards/backs/sideways. But just look at that sweet shot of Daryl blowing up stuff real good!

Season 7 Wrap Up! Apr 10, 2017

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron say goodbye once again to AMC’s The Walking Dead, but first, we have some things to get off our chest and a ton of feedback from our fellow fans to share. What lane does the Dead need to stay in? How long can it last? How big a star is Andrew Lincoln, anyway? Will the War with Negan last 8 episodes, or 16? Just how many episodes of Trash People backstory will we be inflicted with? Should Gimple and company just let Heath go? All this and more will be discussed!

716 – The First Day of the Rest of Your Life Apr 03, 2017

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron were equally entertained yet ultimately frustrated by The Walking Dead’s season 7 finale, “The First Day of the Rest of Your Life”. Well staged action and CGI stunt tigers get the pulse pounding, but it’s not long before well worn bad habits start to get in the way; a convoluted plot by Negan to once again impress upon Rick that resistance is futile, literal Garbage People, and Sasha’s “I’ll save you from the situation I helped create” heroics, all these unfortunately mire the proceedings. But that’s not our last work on the subject. We’ll be back later this week to wrap up the season, so get your email in before Thursday if you want to be heard!

715 – Something They Need Mar 27, 2017

Show notes

A decent episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead nevertheless provokes a bunch of questions regarding “Something They Need”. Is Rick’s group really justified in their “take no prisoners, take all guns” approach with Seaside? Has Eugene really turned turncoat? Is Gregory Negan’s “little bird”? Why can’t Grandma McGee pull a gun on somebody proper like? And does Rick know that a man is at his most dangerous when he’s on his knees? Dwight knows. He’s been to the School of Eugene’s Nut Cracker, and shouldn’t be taken lightly when he’s at crotch level. Be careful, Rick, is all we’re saying.
