Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.09 The Suicide King

S3.09 The Suicide King

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

07/27/23 • 92 min

Margot and Meaks discuss season three episode nine, “The Suicide King” and the dynamics between the Dixon brothers (Margot took so many notes)! We spend quite a bit of time unpacking this complex, abusive relationship and how it’s built, especially because it’s uncommon to see this specific type of abusive relationship between two men. We also have to talk about Glenn’s behavior around Maggie’s sexual assault, cause he makes it all about him, but also he gets to be mad! It’s complicated!

Other topics and tangents include: Sasha looks good, Tyrese’s group fake-out, why is Andrea still in Woodbury after the brother fight?, and Rick’s seeing ghosts!

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.08 Made to Suffer

S3.08 Made to Suffer

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

07/09/23 • 98 min

Margot and Meaks discuss season three episode eight, “Made to Suffer,” rescue missions, reuniting with ex-girlfriends and brothers, and seeing ghosts! We spend a good chunk of time talking about how Glenn takes over Maggie’s sexual assault storyline and, while that’s a human reaction, it’s obnoxious AF because of how typical it is for men to make women’s stories about themselves. But it’s even more complicated because Asian American men often don’t get masculine-aligned (and rageful) stories, so it’s complex and deserves a hearty unpacking. Plus, we meet Tyrese and Sasha and we’re thrilled!

Other topics and tangents include: what if the creepy song Gov’nah plays for Penny was actually “Baby Shark,” bad guys give themselves away when they name things, Andrea hates chores, and Michonne looks real good before she’s beat to hell.

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.07 When the Dead Come Knocking

S3.07 When the Dead Come Knocking

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

06/25/23 • 95 min

Margot and Meaks discuss season three, episode seven “When the Dead Come Knocking” and take a long hard look at no one’s favorite topic: sexual assault! We unpack Merle’s true face because we’re kind of relieved we don’t have to pretend he’s someone else anymore when he’s always been a huge, racist, misogynist jackass — the Gov’nah just told him to keep that in check when the community was around. We talk about the devastating torture of Glenn and Maggie and broach the subject that I’m sure we’ll continue to unpack about how writers use rape and sexual assault for plot purposes. We’re so happy to have Michonne with our gang because she brings a whole new dynamic to this group, and who doesn’t love a rescue mission?

Other topics and tangents include: what does Michonne know when, wacky timeline is back, Carol’s reunion with the group, more Daddy Daryl please!, and what D&D classes do you think our main party would be?

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.06 Hounded

S3.06 Hounded

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

06/11/23 • 109 min

Meaks and Margot discuss episode six of season three, “Hounded” and spend a lot of time talking about how tedious this episode is while having some truly stand-out moments. Those moments help us get through the repetitive phone calls and Andrea stuff we find oh so boring. But we love watching Merle and Michonne face off and see Daryl interact with Carl.

Other topics and tangents include: Michonne’s walker hieroglyphics, drooling over Daryl, Andrea rebounds from Michonne (?), Maggie and Glenn are still our GO TO TOWN experts, getting into the nitty gritty of those repetitive phone calls, and Merle stuff!

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.05 Say the Word

S3.05 Say the Word

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

05/28/23 • 79 min

Margot and Meaks discuss season three episode five, “Say the Word” and that means we’re talking a lot about fatherhood. Rick is losing it and we draw many comparisons to his grief and the Govnah's. Woodbury is just not as interesting to us on this rewatch, but the fighting pits are worth discussion. Andrea ignores all of Michonne’s warnings and also, let’s remember she was a civil rights attorney, so it’s pretty abysmal that she asks no follow-ups to the Govnah.

Other topics and tangents: creepy dad stuff, Glenn is not in a good space, Andrea ugh, Michonne is hot and incredibly capable, and we’re just glossing over Merle’s racism now, huh?

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.04 Killer Within

S3.04 Killer Within

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

05/14/23 • 96 min

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.

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.03 Walk with Me

S3.03 Walk with Me

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

04/30/23 • 90 min

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!

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.02 Sick

S3.02 Sick

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

04/16/23 • 97 min

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!

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S3.01 Seed

S3.01 Seed

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

04/09/23 • 90 min

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...

Don't Podcast Dead Inside - S2.11 Judge Jury Executioner

S2.11 Judge Jury Executioner

Don't Podcast Dead Inside

play

02/05/23 • 105 min

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!
