This episode rhymes with the last one. It truly does! Daryl and Dwight have similar names. The Walking Dad has pacing problems and Phoenix really breaks it down at the end of this podcast. Listen for hilarious results. Who is Sherry? Why is this description out of order? Am I even thinking about the show I recorded or just writing nonsense at this point? Yes. And what is Sherry talking about?
64: The Walking Dead - 702 - The Well
In this episode, Phoenix talks about how many black British kings there were throughout history. Also, Shiva is a real tiger and not a stuffed toy or poster like he had hoped but he doesn't address that in the episode so that's what this long sentence is for. Deal with it. This episode serves one purpose: make you hate Morgan less. It worked.
63: The Walking Dead - 701 - The Day Will Come When You Won't Be
In this episode, Phoenix gives a spoiler free review of Negan killing Glenn and Abraham to death, all the way until they no longer contained life. Murder. What a bad man. What a handsome bad man that Phoenix would totally bang if given half a chance. Half a chance? Does that imply rape? Not sure but it's still true.
62: Fear The Walking Dead - 215 - North
In this episode, Phoenix starts off like he's having a stroke but recollects and finishes the episode in amazing fashion. He continues to talk about how Madison is the most dangerous person in this world because of pure stupidity. He also talks about the bullshit scene in which Madison thinks searching dead bodies for clues for Colonia is a good idea when those dead bodies were there because they were being tortured for evidence as to where Colonia is. But it worked out somehow. Bullshit.
61: Fear The Walking Dead - 214 - Wrath
In this episode, Phoenix is let down by what happens to Chris. This episode has two of the best shots/scenes in the show so far but one of them takes away a future villain. Is it what's best for the show or just shock value at this point? Phoenix doesn't answer that question in this episode. Listen anyway.
60: Fear The Walking Dead - 213 - Date Of Death
In this episode, Phoenix continues to talk about how stupid Madison is. He also talks about loving Chris now and how well the show is showing his rise to becoming a villain. Also, yelling "Goddamn you, Chris." is just good fatherly advice.
59: Fear The Walking Dead - 212 - Pillar Of Salt
In this episode, Phoenix ruins Madison and her stupid decisions that are purely dangerous to the entire group of survivors at the hotel. She's scary stupid. Scarier than the zombies. As smart as the zombies. Anyway, not much happens in this episode so it's hard to talk about in length. Enjoy.
58: Fear The Walking Dead - 211 - Pablo & Jessica
In this episode, Phoenix is way behind on this show. At the point of recording, the entire second season of FTWD show has aired as well as the first episode of The Walking Dead's season 7. But anyway, fuck the pier scene in this episode. Fuck it hard. With super loud epic music.
57: Fear The Walking Dead - 210 - Do Not Disturb
In this episode, Phoenix discusses: how boring Travis is, how amazing Chris' transformation is, how not seeing a grave for someone isn't proof of their survival, how slowly stabbing 2 zombies in the head isn't proof of badassery, and how a fear of loud noises is a surefire way to get killed in this world. Plus he takes credit for Chris' turn to the dark side. AMC listens to this show right?
56: Fear The Walking Dead - 209 - Los Muertos
In this episode, Phoenix gets really angry about how easy it is to blend in with these boring zombies. Are the zombies in this show so tame because they're west coast relaxed? At any rate, it was a good episode with stupid decisions made by every single major character. Surrounded by zombies that want to eat your entire body and people that want to rape that body, rob and kill you? Better get shit-faced drunk in a place that you aren't familiar with without anyone guarding the perimeter. These characters deserve to die.
55: Fear The Walking Dead - 208 - Grotesque
In this episode...you know what? This was a good episode that focused only on Nick but Phoenix hated discussing it because nothing much happened. So this episode falls apart toward the end due to disinterest. You've been warned. Oh, wait... If you're in the apocalypse and have to walk 100 miles to Tijuana...grab a fucking bicycle, they're goddamn everywhere.
54: Fear The Walking Dead - 207 - Shiva
The mid-season finale is here. Whatever the hell that is. Nick is a scary blood covered psychopath. Daniel is a voice-hearing psychopath. Celia is a zombie-alive-keeper psychopath. Travis is a psychopath deny-er. Chris is just a psychopath. Will he finally become a villain like Phoenix wants? Maybe. The answer is maybe.
53: Fear The Walking Dead - 206 - Sicut Cervus
This episode is a couple months delayed. Sorry. In this episode, Phoenix talks about the psychopath growing inside Chris, Nick having to kill a bunch of kids, Daniel losing his goddamn mind and the dangers of repeating plot points of The Walking Dead....I mean, we're finally off the boat but now we're on a farm where they keep zombies locked up in a shed. Sound familiar? At least nobody is pregnant. Unless you consider Chris being pregnant with insanity. Sooner or later the water will break and a newborn baby psychopath will be loose. Did that make sense? Oh well.
52: Fear The Walking Dead - 205 - Captive
In this episode, Phoenix has to deal with yet another episode on a boat. But this time there's a twist! It's set on 3 different boats! Even when they are on land it's a boat on land. I shit you not. He also talks about how Alicia is finally becoming a decent character and how Chris needs to be put down (killed). Daniel is coming undone? Already? The only great character. Phoenix also asks his female listeners to send him an email at loiteringinwonderland@gmail.com and let him know what they think about the poor writing of female characters on this show. Seriously, he needs your opinions.
51: Fear The Walking Dead - 204 - Blood In The Streets
In this episode, Phoenix talks about how in all 4 episodes this season, a character or characters went to dry land while other stayed on the boat, had an experience that didn't matter on the land and then at the end of the episode came back to the boat. Well THIS episode threw a wrench in that because the experience on land wasn't an island and the side plot actually matters. Know what the worst gunman in the world is? An annoying 8 month pregnant woman. This episode wasn't bad, it was just kind of boring and that's the worst thing you can be.
50: Fear The Walking Dead - 203 - Ouroboros
Holy shit I've done 50 of these. In this episode I talked about the title not really applying here, how 2 episodes in a row consisted of half the crew going to an island for the episode and then coming back to the boat at the end without much being accomplished, my wishes for possible show structure, my wishes for Chris' character, how the holy fuck that zombie got halfway in the sand and eaten by crabs and then I talked about the badass scene with Nick in a bloody pilot outfit.
49: Fear The Walking Dead - 202 - We All Fall Down
In this episode, Phoenix talks about how they kind of got off the boat for an episode. It still counts toward the 4 episode buffer zone he's giving this show to get off the goddamn boat. In this FTWD episode, our group joins Jonestown Steve Jobs and his family on an island which seems perfect but nobody seems to like except George. I don't know what they think is better thank this island. It's secluded, Surrounded by water which is the slowest way a zombie can travel, it can grow food, it has a great house on a hilltop, it's not on the east coast so that means it won't snow, it's literally perfect except George's plans. Kill George and take over. What is Victor up to? I hope the show gets to it before I stop caring. Enjoy!
48: Fear The Walking Dead - 201 - Monster
Season 2 of this show is where it can really turn great or shitty. Season 1 pretty much wrote itself so let's see something unexpected. Also, stop making all of your characters suck. Learn to write female characters. Stop being on a boat. Side note, decent show.
47: The Walking Dead - Season 7 Predictions
In this episode, Phoenix lays out what he thinks will happen in season 7. Originally he planned to do that at the end of episode 46 but he was sick and out of it. Deal with it. Instead he recorded this 10 minute rant about what is coming our way in season 7 of TWD. He also touches on how FTWD needs to prove itself with season 2.
46: The Walking Dead - 616 - Last Day On Earth
In this episode, Phoenix talks about Negan and his 10 minute speech before beating someone... just someone. That's how they chose to end a season. Just a black screen with crunching sounds. He forgets to mention how he thinks next season will go so we will mention it now: first half of season 7 is working with Negan and plotting against him and the second half will be overthrowing him. That is about it for season 7. See you guys for season 8!
