This review started off normal before it became a rage-filled rant against AMC. I seriously didn't expect it to be that way but once I started discussing a scene in this WD episode it made me realize how shitty AMC is handling this show. AMC, fuck yourselves.
116: The Walking Dead - 810 - The Lost And The Plunderers
I forgot this show existed. Seriously. Nobody talks about The Walking Dead anymore. AMC has earned that reaction. Today's episode is about... people being dicks to each other just like every other episode. Aaron hides behind a tree and we leave him there. Rick yells at Negan like an angry teenage boy finally telling off his father. Simon steals the show yet again.
115: The Walking Dead - 809 - Honor
Come one, come all to witness the spectacle of Little Ricky's death parade through a sewer, a burning town and eventually a dirty floor! Witness as Rick, with red eye make-up applied digs holes with his second wife! Witness as Daryl has the briefest of human contact before retreating into his turtle shell of isolation. Witness it all...with Honor!
114: The Walking Dead - 808 - How It's Gotta Be
This is a good example of pacing. However it's a little too late for it. We all knew this episode would be like this. It's the previous episodes that were shitty that made it not matter. Anway, here's another podcast of Phoenix bitching about TWD.
113: The Walking Dead - 807 - Time For After
I'm back. For some reason. Maybe I hate myself and want you to join in on my self-torture? Honestly, this show was semi-cancelled until I finally got a view at the weekly downloads. You're a quiet group of listeners so I had no idea people actually listened. I'm a vocal listener/watcher so obviously I went off in this podcast about this terrible episode of The Walking Dead. I'm way behind this season but I'm going to catch up. Ready for more Eugene? I know he's my favorite main character.
112: The Walking Dead - 806 - The King, The Widow And Rick
If you thought the montage episodes of this season were through, you were sadly mistaken. Listen as The Mic, The Rage And The Phoenix reviews this shitty episode of The Walking Dead. The only thing that happened in this episode was some guy was killed with a rocket launcher. Some guy we didn't know beforehand. Some guy. Fuck, can't wait for this to be over with.
111: The Walking Dead - 805 - The Big Scary U
This episode was really goddamn good and it almost hurts Phoenix to describe it. Positivity is a poison. Hate is the cure. Anyway, we finally get more out of Negan, Daryl and Father Gabriel. All of Phoenix's wishes were answered and it's suspicious... someone is listening to this show.... someone at AMC....
110: The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 28: A Certain Doom
In Eugene's desperate attempt to be useful, he gets one of the most useful characters killed. What a dick. A mullet-ed dick. Negan finally opens up and really reveals something about himself from before the zombie apocalpyse. The show should start doing this. Hint hint. You whore show. You know damn well you took all those CD's from my car so give them back! Goddamn whore show. Anyway, this is the last chapter for another year so Phoenix will be back in a year or so for chapter 29 and 30.
109: The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 27: The Whisperer War
The war against the Whisperererers is finally here! We also finally see a bit more into Negan's past and it's great. Why does every girl want to fuck Carl? Is it because he's the only teenage boy left in humanity? Or is it because every teenage girl has a eye cavity fetish? Find out in this episode. Wait, that isn't discussed here. The answer is yes. Now you know.
108: The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 26: Call To Arms
Rick is beaten up by a teenager and loses some teeth. He's falling apart by the chapter. Negan escapes and becomes the leader of The Whisperes for exactly 20 seconds. Wasn't what I expected but that's a good thing. Are you ready for The Whisperer War? I know I am. I know Rick isn't. He will just be a torso and head sitting in a chair barking out orders soon.
107: The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 25: No Turning Back
It's been over 2 years since the last comic review so strap in/on for this one. We finally get to see/read the aftermath of the Whisperers murdering half the cast of characters. The aftermath isn't as crazy as you think it would be. Negan is starting to give advice to Rick and that can only lead to great places. Right?
106: The Walking Dead - 804 - Some Guy
Mutant zombies are stupid. Now that that's out of the way, this episode wasn't bad. It had some really good stuff in it. I mean it. Seeing Ezekiel drop the act was fascinating. The actor killed it. Not an amazing episode but they finally did what I've been requesting for a long time: they had emotional scenes with a character that actually resulted in me feeling differently about the character. Seriously, awesome job. Now do that with Daryl so I actually give a shit if he lives or dies.
105: The Walking Dead - 803 - Monsters
Write something for Daryl please. He's just turned into a sweaty, hairy guy that grunts out one line per episode now. Seriously, you could kill his character off right now and I wouldn't even care. I want to care. I want to like Daryl but having him kill two people without a care in the world just makes me think he actually should be dead. He's a... monster.
104: The Walking Dead - 802 - The Damned
Two episodes into season 8 and we already have an episode that is completely pointless. Seriously, nothing in this episode matters. If you went straight from 801 to 803, it would be the same. Anyway, welcome Morales back to the show. I know you all missed him so much. Remember...he's the guy that fled with his family at the tail end of season 1. Well, he's back so deal with it.
103: The Walking Dead - 801 - Mercy
For the first time in years, the opening episode of the season has me excited for the season to come. The pacing is much better. The story structure is insanely better. Rick's haircut is much worse though. But I'll live with that fact. Anyway, is it all a dream? Better not be.
102: The Walking Dead - 800 - Behind The Dead & Season 8 Predictions
Phoenix goes over the episode 716 Alternate Cut and how the title is deceiving. It only added one short scene. That's an extended cut. He also reviews the behind the scenes special for season 8 before getting into his season 8 predictions. Are you excited for season 8? Phoenix isn't sure either.
101: Fear The Walking Dead - 316 - Sleigh Ride
You can go ahead and kill Madison if you want. Seriously. This isn't reverse psychology. Do it. Anyway, shit happens in this episode and Aerosmith fights the Clark family. Madison has pointless visions about a zombie Christmas dinner. For some reason. It doesn't matter. AMC, you can kill her if you want.
100: Fear The Walking Dead - 315 - Things Bad Begun
Our main chacters get 30 seconds of peace before being attacked by a new group of assholes. They really squeezed 4 episodes of story into the last two episodes but I'd rather have that than the way The Walking Dead makes 2 episodes worth of story last half a season. Anyway, Madison ups her bad decision making skills with a random murder and I can't follow the Victor nonsense anymore.
99: Fear The Walking Dead - 314 - El Matadero
Welcome new Michonne into the show as she becomes fast friends with Alicia. Ophelia's reign of boring has come to a close. Nick's stint with sobriety has been derailed by eating a brain stem of insanity. Madison makes another terrible decision that just happens to work out for the group.
98: The Walking Dead - 201 - What Lies Ahead
Prepare to look for Sophia. This isn't a 'whodunnit' but more a 'whogivesashit' because Sophia sucks. Why does Rick think being on his back under a truck is better than his stomach? Wrong. Shane and Andrea are the odd men out of the group. Dale is watching Andrea too closely. At least he's not fucking her like in the comic. Carl looks like a baby back in season 2. Lori defends Rick. Carol sucks still. Sophia is missing but whogivesashit?
