Don't Podcast Dead Inside

Meaks and Margot discuss season three episode four, “Killer Within” with particular attention to how the deaths and disappearances of major characters make us feel (or not). We’re stoked, for instance, that T-Dog got some lines and backstory moments, but it’s a little too late, ain’t it? And lots of Lori and Carl makes us cry.

Other topics and tangents include: are Glenn and Maggie coming?, Carol’s iconic scarf that she’s totally had the whole time so we can easily identify it as hers, prison remains terrible, cutting to Woodbury is dumb, and significant eye contact at the fence does not amends make.

Margot and Meaks discuss season three, episode three “Walk with Me” and linger oh so lovingly on all the dyke drama while Margot is dying from a coughy-cold and is very jealous at how fast Andrea seems to bounce back from hers (and also encounter every single internet and tech issue we could in one recording session). We finally meet the Gov’nah and we’re in awe of how good he is at conserving ammo (haha). And of course, we get to see Merle again! And we spend lots of time talking about the very similar storylines of Merle and Andrea that make them compelling to watch.

Other topics and tangents include: what makes a cult a cult, Margot is dying (of a cough), Andrea and Michonne only have one bed, don’t put your finger there, and beware an agreeable white man!

Meaks and Margot talk about season three, episode two “Sick” and we spend a lot of the episode trying to figure out why it’s called Sick, and we finally figure it out (but like, way late)! We love “team family” and seeing how close they’ve grown, but we’re very tired of being mad at Lori so at least this episode makes it easier to be mad at Rick. We love love love the interactions between Lori and Carol and how much more vital Carol has become to this group. But Meaks’ loins still feel a certain kinda way about a take-charge dirty man named Daryl.

Other topics and tangents include: penis fighting!, our prison system in the United States is terrible y’all, shit fridge, T-Dog has lines!, giving dying people mouth-to-mouth is stupid AND brave in a zombie apocalypse, and Herschel’s snoring!

Margot and Meaks discuss season three, episode one “Seed,” and we are here for how hard this winter was for our heroes because it turned them all into competent survivalists who would not waste a whole canned ham down a well, or as Margot calls it “high-octane competence porn.” We unpack what we think this season will really be about, and we think “safe” is the watchword. We get real rowdy this episode about Daryl and Carol/Andrea and MYSTERIOUS UNNAMED STRANGER, or at least Meaks does cause hot damn.

Other topics and tangents included Meaks is turned on by Daryl’s toxicity, stuff and thangs, Patty Reily, the “calling for Daryl” drinking game, and Margot breaks down Lori and Rick and their incomprehensible relationship...

Meaks and Margot discuss episode eleven of season two “Judge Jury Executioner” and it takes them the whole recording to figure out that they are on opposite sides of this debate about killing Randall or not killing Randall. We do agree that Dale, for all his annoying nature, asks a worthwhile question about what kinds of people we want to be and what kind of civilization we are building. We finally find out what Andrea used to do and it’s infuriating because it makes no goddamn sense considering her casual relationship with the police and her inability to argue any point she’s made in two seasons. Ugh. But yay now we know. This is also a stellar episode for Carl and we love to see a kid get a compelling arc.

Other topics and tangents include other reasons to love Angela Kang, Andrea’s a straw-man liberal feminist still, Carl doing so many tasks like a good boy not actively disobeying and getting into trouble at every turn, three master manipulators in this episode with three very different tactics, figuring out how executions work, ominous mooing, and bye bye Legolas!
