Episode 84 - People Always Die

After skipping a week, the Z-Realm returns and looks at the two latest episodes from season 5 of AMC's the Walking Dead. We start with episode 14, titled "Spend". With the extremely grisly deaths of some key cast-members, this was a very disturbing episode. Directed by Jennifer Lynch ( daughter of David ), it packs an emotional as well as visceral punch. You don't have to listen very closely to hear Marty be TOTALLY wrong about who Abraham hooks up with, but please forgive him, gin was involved.  We follow that up with episode 15, titled "Try" where bonds are made and broken, and where Rick finally unravels in front of all the residents of Alexandria.  After this we focus on a hugely-broad variety of topics, from the Bechdel Test, to Madam Secretary, to car insurance. By the way, I heard you can save 15% just by switching to Zombco.  Let us know what you thought of these two episodes of the TV show, and also what you thought of the podcast by writing to mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 83 - Unbuttoned

Season 5 of AMC's the Walking Dead shambles powerfully forward with episode 13, "Forget". We talk at length about the episode and  theorize about what may or may not be going on behind the scenes in Alexandria. We then turn our attention to other media and the rants begin!  Let us know what you thought of the episode by writing to mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 82 - Inside the Wall

Season 5 of AMC's the Walking Dead, soldiers on, and so does the Z-Realm Podcast!  This time we deal with episode 12, titled "Remember". We finally get to see who and what is behind the walls at Alexandria. We meet LOTS of new characters and we watch our crew as the struggle with assimilation.  The pace is very different in this one, but it was consistently interesting to see these fish out of water. Later in the show we bid a tearful farewell to the one and only, Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy.
