Watching Dead: A The Ones Who Live Podcast

Latest Episodes:

613 – The Same Boat Mar 14, 2016

Show notes

It’s fair to say that neither Jim nor A.Ron was under or overwhelmed by this episode, number 613, “The Same Boat”. Thus properly whelmed, we discuss the themes of the episode, including Carol’s sudden (?) change of heart with regards to her ruthlessness and apparent callous disregard for life, Maggie’s maternal nature, how we feel about the Saviors now that we’ve seen a slightly softer side, and Carol and Maggie’s innovating combination of slaughterhouse and barbecue. All this, tons of feedback, and a healthy spoiler section at the very end of the episode await your listening pleasure.

612 – Not Tomorrow Yet Mar 07, 2016

Show notes

The Walking Dead has strung together three pretty great episodes in a row! Jim and A.Ron could not be happier with this turn of events, as we tuck into episode 612, “Not Tomorrow Yet”. We discuss the horror of acorn/beet cookies, the appropriate time and place for Morgalizing, the unlikely relationship of Tobin and Carol, how not to break up with your post-apocalyptic girlfriend, and some general geeking out at the intense, well filmed action of this episode. All this plus tons of feedback and lots of spoiler section analyzing, coming at you faster than the break of dawn.

611 – Knots Untie Feb 29, 2016

Show notes

We’re not sure what got untied in last night’s episode of The Walking Dead, “Knots Untie”, but nevertheless it was another pretty good episode that clearly and confidently moved the action forward as it gave more depth and color to characters that sorely needed it. Join us for a discussion of crops, creepy leaders, the wisdom of post apocalyptic procreation, tons of feedback, and a healthy spoiler section after the outro music.

610 – The Next World Feb 22, 2016

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron are relieved to find that they can still enjoy a legitimately good episode of The Walking Dead. This one had it all, tight writing, characters with rich back stories and interconnected personal history interacting in believable and relate-able ways, humor, family, competent and professional directing, the works. Not to mention a development we’ve been anticipating for about 3 years now. Yes, it was the elusive feel good episode of The Walking Dead, and we frankly gush about it. Join us for a discussion of soda pop, post-apocalyptic teenage angst, finding love in all the right places, and just tons and tons of Messianic puns. Plus, great feedback from the listeners, and a speculative spoiler section, safely tucked away behind our trademark wall of outro music.

609 – No Way Out Feb 15, 2016

Show notes

Last night’s The Walking Dead had a lot of moments of genuine tension and real stakes, but it also had a lot of continuity errors and puzzling directorial and editing choices. Which is too bad because it’s central gasp inducing moment was a real bomb. We discuss some potential future story angles featuring Michonne’s guilt and some fresh juice in the Morgan/Carol arc what with Denise’s new found appreciation for the malleable nature of Wolves and question how Carl will fit in to Rick’s New World Order, and how the mysterious Kneegan could possibly threaten it all. All this, some great feedback, and a thoughtful spoiler section, coming at you!

We’re back to discuss the new seasons and some changes to our coverage going forward. The Instant Cast is out, in favor of an accelerated Monday full podcast. But that’s not all, as we discuss reasons to be cautiously optimistic about the new season, as well as reasons to fear. And we get fired up over some recent revelations about Frank Darabont’s departure from TWD way back in season two. It explains a lot of what’s had us scratching our heads over the past few years. All this, plus some casting news and plot detail discussions in our clearly marked Spoiler Section, and feedback from our readers. See you all back Sunday for the premiere!

Mid-Season 6 Wrap Up Dec 08, 2015

Show notes

From the promising start, The Walking Dead tripped and fell it’s way towards a disappointing first half of season six. WTF is the problem? Can they recover? Should we care any more? All these questions and more are pondered by Jim and A.Ron with our fellow fans. Regardless of where we’re at now, we WILL be back for the back half of season six, rain or shine, and hopefully you’ll be there with us.

608 – Start to Finish Dec 01, 2015

Show notes

The Walking Dead schleps it’s way to a mid-season finale, “Start to Finish”, and we’re right beside it, covered in guts, shambling right along.

Support Bald Move: Amazon | Club Bald Move

Unfortunately the mid-season finale was kind of blah. It wasn’t especially good, and it wasn’t especially bad, but in the context of wrapping things up for a long hiatus, that means it’s not doing it’s job. Lots of monologing about ideas we don’t care much about between characters we’re not interested, a few really fantastic pieces of writing and performance for Deanna that are undermined by how we feel going into the episode about the character, and more sloppily staged action and set pieces. But, we’re not done! We’ll be back next week to wrap things up and try to generate some excitement for the next half. Hopefully you’ll help out. Send us your predictions, thoughts, complaints, praises, and spoilers and we’ll talk about them next Tuesday!

607 – Heads Up Nov 24, 2015

Show notes

A.Ron and Jim come, not to bury Glenn on The Walking Dead episode 607, “Heads Up”, but to pull him out from the dumpster and resurrect him…

Support Bald Move: Amazon | Club Bald Move

So yeah, maybe that wasn’t as bad as it could have been, or maybe we’ve just spent four weeks accepting the fact that this just wasn’t going to end in a way that made sense or paid respect to the character or our devotion as fans, who knows. We commit to addressing it and then honor the not-dead by moving forward and living our lives. We talk about that, a little Morgalizing round table action with Rick, Michonne, and Carol, ponder the different directions Rick and Carol’s personal ethos are heading, what disaster Ron’s gun training is going to lead to, and debate the verisimilitude of CGI balloons. All that, a ton of feedback from all ya’ll, and we’ll see you back this weekend for the mid-season finale!
