Before we get to The Last of Us S2 here’s the repost I promised, from back in 2020 when Erik and I (Jason) were fresh off their first playthrough of The Last of Us Part II and eager to express how freaking great we thought it was!  But fair warning! Season 2 will more-or-less follow the plot of the game, so don’t listen unless you’ve played or watched the game, or if you don’t mind spoilers. There’s a ~30-minute non-spoilery segment up front where we talk about gameplay and things like that, and then a ~45-minute super-spoilery-AF segment.  Next week, Lucy and Jason will be back with a season 1 catch-up that won’t have any S2 spoilers.  Next up: The Last of Us Season One Catch-Up, with Lucy and Jason.

The Last of Us season 2 is just around the corner, premiering Sunday April 13, and we’re excited!!! Join Jason, Erik, and Ben to chat about the new season. SPOILER WARNING: This episode is divided into two segments, with different levels of spoilery-ness:1: News about the upcoming season, with LIGHT to MEDIUM spoilers. We talk about some of the characters and broad-setups for storylines. If you don’t mind the kinds of spoilers that appear in trailers and pre-season news articles, you’re safe listening to this segment.      2: Our thoughts and hopes on how the series will play out, based on what we know about the games, with HEAVY spoilers about what happened in the games, which often aligns with the show. Only listen to this if you’ve played or watched the games, or you don’t care at all about spoilers. Next week, Lucy and Jason will be back with a season 1 catch-up that won’t have any S2 spoilers.  Links:Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC3C7GMMfDU Creator to Creator: Neil Druckmann (The Last of Us) & Alex Garland (28 Years Later): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJUab499PVA Next up: The Last of Us Season One Catch-Up, with Lucy and Jason.

Hey, anyone need some cheering up, by any chance? You’ve come to the right place. First off, Karen and Wendy are on this one, so that’s probably enough said. But also, the three of us talk about a bunch of different ways we cheer ourselves up when we’re feeling down. And then we chat about the hilarious 2014 vampire roommate mockumentary, What We do in the Shadows, which puts a smile on all our faces and I think it will yours too.

Bonjour tout le monde, so good to be back in the world of Daryl Dixon, this time avec plus de Carol. It’s kind of a tradition that we don’t always agree with Carol’s methods (you could ask Karen and David about that, you know, if they were alive) but we always love watching her.  For our 600th episode, we’d love if any of you US citizens who aren’t yet registered to vote would do that. You can do that at vote.org, and merci beaucoup (seriously, thank you) to you if you do.  Next up: Depending on how many messages we get from you guys, either a feedback episode for the season premiere, or on to TWD: Daryl Dixon: The Book of Carol S2E2 “Moulin Rouge”. Either way, let us know your thoughts!
