Episode #4: The Last of Us Part I ...Continued

Randy and Nick continue their journey from Pittsburgh to Salt Lake City by continuing their coverage of the The Last of Us Part I. This episode covers episodes four through nine of the HBO adaptation and as well as the remainder of the PS3 video game and Left Behind DLC.

Listen in to hear Nick and Randy's highlights and lowlights from these episodes and then hit the categories discussing their favorite scenes, quotes, adaptation choices, and more. Finally they close out the pod giving their impressions of the season and how this ranks as an adaptation against the other previously covered stories.
