Episode 92 - Might Be Too Late

It is back! AMC's the Walking  Dead returns for it's sixth season and the Z-Realm team descends on it like a pack of vipers. Titled "First Time Again" and directed by one of our favorites, Greg Nicotero, this truly starts off the next season of the show with a huge bang! We've never seen this many zombies on screen at once in the show, and it is filled frequently with awe-inspiring moments. We loved the episode and are eager to hear your thoughts. Please let us know by writing to us at mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 91 - Abigail

The first season of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead has wrapped up, and it left us mostly feeling positive about the new show, but we did come away with reservations and a few head-scratching moments. We do lose one of the main characters by the end, and several possible options exist for where the next season will take the survivors. We are ready for that, but are undoubtedly MORE ready for the next season of the Walking Dead which will be taking over the time-slot next week!

Episode 90 - Captive Bolt Pistol

It turns out that the weapon that Anton Chigur uses in No Country for Old Men, has a name, and that name is "Captive Bolt Pistol".  Not only can you terrorize Josh Brolin with it, but you can also use it to make sure that the recently dead remain that way. We learn about this nefarious device in the fifth episode of season one of AMC's  Fear the Walking Dead.  We also learn more about a few of our favorite characters and it is further stressed that things are not as black-and-white as Travis seems to need them to be. Things take many dark turns and leave us standing outside a huge arena, bursting with something vile and hungry.  Let us know what you thought of the show by writing to mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 89 - They Always Come Back

AMC's Fear the Walking Dead continues to impress and surprise us. Episode 4 of the show, titled "Not Fade Away", shows the military cementing it's hold on our familiar band of survivors. Lead by Lt. Moyers ( who loves golf ) they are there to keep the peace and distribute freedom in the name of the glorious U-S-of-A. There is clearly something happening behind the scenes, that is much less palatable though, and, with only two episodes remaining in this inaugural season...we hope we find out what it is.  Let us know what you thought of the TV show, and the podcast, by writing to mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook page.
( ...and Marty knows he totally screwed up by calling George C. Scott's character "Jack D. Ripper" and he apologizes profusely )

Episode 88 - Good People Are the First Ones to Die

In this episode of the Z-Realm, we return to the first season of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead, focusing on episode 3, titled "The Dog".  Packed with thrilling setpieces and further exploration of the mindsets of our small group of central characters, this was another winning chapter.  We liked it, and we would love to hear what you thought.

Episode 87 - Don't Tell Alicia Nothin'

Welcome back to the Z-Realm, where things can change drastically in a week. For instance, the second episode of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead was roughly one-million-percent better than the pilot episode.  The world is truly starting to unravel this time and the viewer is swept along for the ride.  The characters that we met in the last episode are now being thrust into situations that test them in ways that they could've never imagined. Sure, there were still holes here and there, but this was the episode that the pilot SHOULD have been. There are only four episodes left in season one, but now we have a reason to believe and a that might just be enough.  Let us know what YOU thought of the show by writing to mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook group.

Episode 86 - Fear the Z-Realm

5 months? Has it really been that long?  We had a busy summer here at Z-Realm Central, and it kept us far away from the podcasting booths.  We are back though, and hope you're still out there to hear us as we return to speak about the new show from Robert Kirkman, Fear the Walking Dead.  We were not impressed but we want it to be better, so we are trying and struggling to keep our hope alive. Olga does not join us for this episode, so it's 100% testosterone ( well, let's say 75% ).  We turn our attention also to the many things we've seen in the 5 months since we last talked, with some surprises and some obvious favorites. Please let us know if you're still out there listening by writing to us at mail@z-realm.com or by leaving a message on our Facebook page.
