Welcome to the Watching Dead, the officially unofficial podcast for the Walking Dead on EMC. I'm Jim. I'm Aeron and we're back with a feedback episode for season 11 episode 1, Aeron is kind of your show.

You used all of me about one of the emails that we've got, which sounds like fun, but you also said that people maybe not liking this episode the most.

Yeah, I mean, there's some silly shit we talked about it right in the episode. There's like some pretty indefensible stuff, but there was some good stuff too. So we'll see how it goes. Yeah, I'm ready to, ready to macro on this Aeron episode.

If you like the cookie, I don't know. I meant to say Mac or Mac on Mac on. Yeah, but I fucked it up. Like I've done this podcast intro. So this is our feedback show since we are recording the episodes early and releasing them live.

One of the things we've always had probably with the screeners or early access stuff is like, how do you keep the feedback synchronized?

So we're going to try something for this eight episode stretch. Just try something out where we divorce the feedback from the main podcast so that it's more timely and relevant.

And we usually get enough. It's a nice 25 30 minute show. So we'll see how that goes. And if it works out, it might be useful for when we're covering the boys on Amazon Prime, because we usually get screeners for that later in the year.

I'm hoping that the expanse comes back. We get screeners for that. So it might be a better way to do feedback. We'll see. We'll see. If you'd like to send in your feedback to the show, it's easy watching dead at baldmove.com is where you want to see it.

I'll pull all that feedback in and we'll talk about it.

Like so first off Eric from Massachusetts. Hey guys, I just finished watching the here's Negan episode. And I guess whoever made this episode must love Vince Gilligan's universe as much as I do because I caught at least two blatant shots lifted right out of the breaking bad better call Saul universe.

First, there was Negan digging holes to find his bat with a time lap shot showing how many Doug just like Mike in a season three episode slip on better call Saul. Do you remember that one? We went on the desert with a metal to I can't remember. I don't know the context of it, but I did remember.

Oh, Eric sent a side by side shots and it's it is pretty pretty on the nose. And then said this is something I actually had my notes to talk about, but sometimes I don't get everything that I want to.

He said second when Negan's wife gets her cancer diagnosis, her reaction is just like Walter reaction when he got his cancer news.

You know with the like sound dropped out the bomb going off tenonitis noise.

Yeah.

He says these can't be quince it has come on walk you that at least deal from a different network.

Is this theft or is this a deliberate homage?

Yeah, it's probably more the latter. I'm willing to give them that there are plenty of other things to complain about in this episode than the thieving shots from better shows.

Yeah, I feel like this is like really hazy and I can't back this up, but I feel like when we were covering madman and breaking bad into walking dead all more or less simultaneously because there was that glorious stretch where just like one fucking prestige show is like it's like chain smoking a man.

Just like the one is why the other were starting and I felt like there was a couple of nods like in character names and like shots and stuff where they were all kind of like paying.

I remember one popular theory is that the gussys fate at season four was kind of like a call back to the walking dead.
