In this episode, Phoenix tells a story that Rick tells that his mom told him about a rock in a road and how it helps poor people. Or something like that, Phoenix improvises a story that is way better than Rick's. Anyway, this episode is decent but involves more video game sequences so beware.
76: The Walking Dead - 708 - Hearts Still Beating
The mid-season-finale-of-season-seven-of-the-walking-dead is finally here! Could that title get any longer? Anyway, Negan guts a person during a casual game of pool and then is mad that his game was interrupted. This season is going EXACTLY how Phoenix predicted it would in our 'season 7 predictions' episode. Seriously, exactly. This show is so goddamn predictable.
75: The Walking Dead - 707 - Sing Me A Song
Carl learns a thing or two about love and life from Negan in this after school special from the makers of The Walking Dead. I understand that Negan has a lot of wives but why does he keep them in a back office that looks like a brothel? He's the only one that can touch them so why make it look like they're for sale? I don't get it. Oh, Rick and Aaron find a video game level with treasure on it.
74: The Walking Dead - 706 - Swear
It's been over two months but Phoenix is back to talk about The Wandering Dead. This is the throwaway Tara episode that you've all been demanding. Remember her? The 100% not pregnant lady from last season? She's back and less pregnant than ever.
73: The Walking Dead - 705 - Go Getters
In this episode, Phoenix talks about how stupid it is to travel with roller skates in this world. Seriously, it's impossibly stupid. This is AFTER Carl ruined a car to kill a single non-threatening zombie. Roller skates still ranks higher as a bad decision. Anyway, it's all about Hilltop as Jesus and Greggory have multiple discussions on whether or not Maggie and Sasha should stay or not. Then they have a couple more discussions on the subject before Greggory is casually overthrown as leader.
72: The Walking Dead - 704 - Service
Phoenix has sexually confusing thoughts about Negan in this episode. It gets weird and confusing. The plot of this episode of TWD is really simple but still awesome due to Negan and Rick's back and forth. Phoenix gets weirded out thinking about Negan being alone in Alexandria without Rick or anyone else around. Isn't it weird to think of Negan being alone? Just hanging out without anyone to intimidate. Maybe just wearing some loose fitting shorts. Maybe a glass of wine. Maybe he's putting on some music and you know what? This episode is about missing guns. That's about it. Olivia should be grateful that Rick cares so much about her dumbass. Phoenix then predicts how the rest of the season will run out despite his wishes for better editing/writing.
71: The Walking Dead - 106 - TS-19
It's everyone's favorite rest stop, the CDC! In this pointless visit, our main characters shower, drink wine, watch videos of brains, chat with a depressing scientist and then escape from the evil clutches of said depressing scientist. All in the hopes of finding a farm to lie low for an entire season. Seriously, the whole Shane vs. Rick thing is the ONLY thing to look forward to for a long stretch of TWD. Help me. Help us all. But don't help Jacqui. She doesn't deserve it.
70: The Walking Dead - 105 - Wildfire
Morales wasn't killed in 104 because he's totally alive in this one. I apologize. I don't see race during zombie outbreaks. I'm not Merle. In this one, we see Shane want to kill Rick in probably the most intense scene of seasons 1-5 combined. Not until Negan shows up is there such intensity. Maybe the bathtub murders later on but that's a maybe. Anyway, Phoenix stays mostly on topic in this one.
69: The Walking Dead - 104 - Vatos
Latinos aren't all bad guys, guys! That's good news. Because we all assumed they were, right? But nope. This episode says otherwise. Phoenix goes off topic for a while to rant about the differences/similarities between marijuana smokers and beer drinkers and their weird subcultures. He also talks about the grandma in this episode and her total lack of situational awareness.
68: The Walking Dead - 103 - Tell It To The Frogs
This episode goes really off topic in a great way. It mostly focuses on wondering why Shane and Rick, knowing that the world is completely ruined and pure chaos, would proceed to blow loads up in Lori. It's a dangerous game to play that obviously can only result in an 8 pound burden. Stupid. Anyway, they fish/hunt frogs in this episode and that's where the title comes from. We meet Daryl and he's just awful at first.
67: The Walking Dead - 102 - Guts
Why do zombies have such good smelling abilities. Why can they smell at all? Smelling requires oxygen which they can't produce. Climbing fences requires strength with requires muscles which require fresh blood with oxygen in them. They can't climb fences. Nothing about zombies makes sense. It's all bullshit. But zombies are cool so here we are. In this one, Shane makes the right decision for once. We meet a racist and a guy named Morales that Phoenix completely forgot existed because he simply walks away from the group early on. Enjoy.
66: The Walking Dead - 101 - Days Gone Bye
I got too bored waiting a whole week for an episode of The Walking Dead so I went back and watched season 1. Eventually I'll get through every episode. This was recorded at 1 am after a few beers so it's a little long. I'll record the rest of the season 1 episodes in the morning after plenty of coffee to speed things up.
65: The Walking Dead - 703 - The Cell
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.
