Dead on Arrival: A First Timer's Watch of the Walking Dead - Season 8
In this episode, we dive into the highly anticipated season 8 finale of The Walking Dead. While the promise of an all-out war between Rick's group and the Saviors had been building for two seasons, did it live up to expectations? Join us as we dissect the events of the finale and explore the lingering questions it left behind.
From Eugene's unexpected betrayal to the surprise appearance of the Oceanside group, there were some notable twists in the episode. However, the long-awaited showdown between Rick and Negan fell short, leaving viewers scratching their heads. The decision to spare Negan's life and imprison him seemed anticlimactic, raising doubts about the resolution and the sudden change of heart among the Saviors.
As the season wrapped up, new conflicts emerged, including the brewing tension between Maggie, Jesus, and Daryl, who seek vengeance for Negan's survival. The threat of a massive walker herd and the potential introduction of The Whisperers added a glimpse of intrigue for the upcoming season.
Join us as we discuss the disappointment of season 8's resolution, the impact on the storyline, and the future direction of The Walking Dead. Will season 9 bring redemption or be the breaking point for disillusioned viewers?

Next Episode
Flashback Friday: Blackhat - Michael Mann Biggest Disappointment
In this episode of Flashback Friday, we delve into the 2015 film "Blackhat" directed by Michael Mann. The film revolves around a devastating hack on a Chinese nuclear power station and the subsequent cyber assault on the stock market. Computer genius Hathaway, portrayed by Chris Hemsworth, is enlisted to track down the culprit and teams up with the FBI and Chinese cyber experts. As we analyze Mann's direction, we uncover the strengths and weaknesses of "Blackhat."
Mann's signature style brings a seductive air to the world of hacking, with captivating visuals and intense action sequences. We explore the film's gripping gun battles, explosive moments, and Mann's ability to create chaos with clarity. However, while the action excels, the film falls short in its dialogue and character development. The romance between Hathaway and Wei Tang's character lacks chemistry, and Hemsworth's performance as the ultra-masculine genius lacks emotional depth.
Viola Davis stands out in the supporting cast, injecting purpose and edge into her character. We discuss how the film could have benefited from Davis in the lead role. Mann's focus on the industrial setting and sound design creates an oppressive atmosphere, but occasional issues with dialogue volume and synchronization hint at rushed production.
Despite its flaws, "Blackhat" remains an entertaining genre film when taken in isolation. We examine its poker-faced tone and missed opportunities to explore the implications of hacking and cyber threats. While the film falls short of Mann's best work, his direction is commendable. Ultimately, "Blackhat" is cautiously recommended for its thrilling moments and Mann's distinctive style, even though it doesn't reach the level of a post-millennial masterpiece like "Heat 2.0."
Join us as we revisit "Blackhat" and delve into its strengths, weaknesses, and its place in Michael Mann's filmography.
