0:00.0	Hello, everyone, and welcome to Decoding TV, a podcast about television.
0:04.7	I'm David Chen. I'm here with Christian Spicer. This is a Decoding TV bonus episode.
0:09.2	The last of us, season one, post-mortem. We are going to talk about reactions to the finale,
0:17.2	talk about people's feedback, to the show, the podcast, everything. So that is kind of on the
0:23.4	agenda for today. In addition to that, I played through the game. The last of us part one,
0:31.4	and I'm going to talk about that a little bit. I played through the game basically in the last
0:36.4	week, and I want to share some of my reflections on that. Also, Christian has a couple questions
0:43.2	about video games and turning them into shows that we're going to talk about, and we're going to
0:47.7	conclude if we have time. I hope very last five, 10, 15 minutes if we have time. Full spoilers
0:55.9	for part two of the game. So at the very last five, 10 minutes, we're going to reflect on what
1:02.5	they might do for season two, and so on. I'll give a copious warning before that happens,
1:09.4	but just wanted people to know at the very end, we'll be spoiling everything in the game as well,
1:13.4	or not, not everything, but like some of the things in the second game. But until then,
1:18.3	five minutes is enough time to cover everything that happens in the last of us part two. So I
1:22.3	think, yeah, totally, totally. Until that point, though, you should assume that we are going to
1:28.7	spoil both the last of us part one, the video game, and also the last of us, season one on HBO.
1:34.4	So just FYI, we'll be spoiling those things. As usual, you can find more episodes of this podcast,
1:39.9	podcast.dcodingtv.com, email us at decodingtv.gmail.com, find us on TikTok, YouTube, Twitter,
1:45.1	Instagram, at decodingtv. And I want to give a reminder that coming up in the next couple weeks,
1:51.6	we're going to be recapping succession right here on decoding TV. I've got a big announcement
1:56.4	about that coming up in the next week or so. So be sure to stay tuned to decoding TV,
2:01.4	succession, the final season right here on decoding TV. So yeah, check your feeds, and you'll see
