In this episode of The Walking Dead, the cat is finally out of the bag. And by "the cat" we mean "the Walkers", and by "the bag" we mean "the barn". Even if you're Pretty Much Dead Already, you should still hang on a bit longer and listen to our breakdown of the 7th episode of The Walking Dead Season 2, where we break down our favorite moments, the characters we love - and the characters that we continue to love to hate. Join us, as we wrap up the first half of this season!

Secrets. Everyone's got them. Some people are better at keeping them than others. Unfortunately, one person who is terrible at keeping secrets is The Walking Dead's sweet summer child, Glenn.
In this episode, we discuss once again how much we love Glenn, how much we hate Andrea and Shane, and why Dale is one sneaky old man.

Sometimes, it's hard being Daryl Dixon. The rest of the group looks down on you, you have unresolved issues with your asshole of a brother, and sometimes you survive a near-death experience just to be shot at by one of your friends. Join us as we unpack the most Daryl-centric episode of The Walking Dead to date in Chupacabra!

Seal once compared us to a kiss from a rose on the grave, which has nothing to do with this episode except hoping that we'll attract all the Sealheads by mentioning it. Anyways, Daryl Dixon spins an interesting rose-related yarn in this episode, as he continues to be just about the only person still looking for Sophia. Join us as we discuss how Daryl is growing on us, our take on the blooming (like a rose, get it) romance between Maggie and Glenn, and who we would have sent down in the well to get that Walker instead of Glenn.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you an exciting preview of the newest podcast from the creators of Cult of the Cathode Ray: Living Under the Gun, A Cop Rock-cast. The first (and only) podcast dedicated to the classic 90s musical police drama which tragically only lasted a single season, Living Under the Gun is a deep-dive into one of the greatest - and most overlooked - television shows of all time. Each episode we'll cover an episode of Cop Rock, as well as getting into some of the background details of the show, and the creative force behind it.
We hope you'll enjoy this special preview episode, and then join us regularly for new episodes of Living Under the Gun!

Shane's been on our shit list since the beginning, but this is where we REALLY start to hate him. In this episode, we discuss all the various reason that we hate Shane - #4 will shock you! - and why we're starting to like Daryl more and more as Season Two of The Walking Dead progresses.

Rick's all-around bad parenting paid off at the end of the last episode, in the form of a bullet entering Carl's stomach.

Tune in to our discussion to find out just how terribly of a father we think Rick is!

After the ratings that Season 1 of The Walking Dead pulled in, a second season was inevitable. But with Frank Darabont's firing between seasons (discussed in our last episode), how would the quality of the show be affected?
In our coverage of the first episode of The Walking Dead Season 2, we dive into the new storylines of this season, how the characters are evolving, and how the overall show has been affected by Darabont's untimely departure.

The Walking Dead premiered in 2010 to huge audience ratings - and no small amount of critical acclaim. Why, then, was the man responsible for bringing The Walking Dead to TV fired before the second season premiered?
In this mini-episode, we talk about why Darabont was fired, why he sued AMC, and how that suit was settled.

Not unlike the titular Walkers which infest the series, fans were hungry for more Walking Dead content after Season One - and AMC was happy to oblige. Leading up to Season Two, they released a series of webisodes on their website to whet the appetite of viewers. Titled "Torn Apart", these short webisode series tells the story of a "character" who would be familiar to anyone who had watched the first season.
How do these webisodes hold up - is it an entertaining side-story in the universe of The Walking Dead, or filler content that we could have done without? In our lead-up to Season Two, we discuss the entire "Torn Apart" series in this episode!

Our coverage of The Walking Dead Season One continues with a very special episode - one written by Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman.
Rick, Glenn, and Daryl rush to Atlanta in a desperate effort to rescue Meryl and secure Rick's guns as, unbeknownst to its inhabitants, the camp sits on the edge of tragedy and death!
