Episode 47 - That's Who You're Dealing With

Episode 47 of the podcast returns to AMC's The Walking Dead to focus on the 11th chapter of season 3 "I Ain't A Judas".  Tensions continue to mount at the prison and at Woodbury as the two sides prepare for war. Andrea returns to her former crew at the prison with hopes of easing tensions and bridging the two groups. Fan favorite Tyreese ends up in a place that no one wants him and Rick finds out just what everyone is really thinking about him.
We wrap the show up by talking about a variety of other topics and close with a clip from the brilliant Bill Burr.  Please let us know what you thought of the show by sending email to mail@z-realm.com or by leaving a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 46 - Wandering Crazytown

Episode 46 of the podcast focuses on the tenth episode from the third season of AMC's The Walking Dead.  After the successful raid on Woodbury in the previous episode, we join our central band of survivors as they continue to slowly unravel.  With Rick literally chasing phantoms, and the Governor appearing to be abdicating his rule to Andrea, we see the remaining members on each side looking for new leadership and guidance.  Glenn becomes a fully fledged rage-monster, Merle and Daryl start finding out who they each really are, and Axel reveals the true story about how he ended up behind bars. If this episode teaches us nothing else, we should walk away knowing to never stop a car on a bridge.  Let us know what you thought of the show by writing to mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on the Facebook page.

Episode 45 - As Powerful As Ancient Rome

Episode 45 turns back to AMC's The Walking Dead for their return from a brief hiatus to finish out the second half of season 3.  The episode is titled "The Suicide King" and we are seeking your thoughts on what that title means.  Opening with a bang, the show picks up immediately from where they left off at the end of 2012, with Daryl and Merle facing off in Woodbury's gladiatorial arena, surrounded by blood-thirsty townspeople and a very angry Governor.  From that point onward, we see the groundwork being laid for the conflicts that will surely shape the rest of season 3 of our favorite zombie show.  Listen to our conversation and let us know what you thought of the podcast and of the TV show by sending emails to mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 44 - Fatal Funnel

Episode 44 of the podcast sees the Z-Realm crew searching out other zombie-related media during the lull in season 3 of the Walking Dead.  This time we focus on a fascinating documentary on our favorite topic that originally aired on the History Channel called "Zombies: A Living History".  This amazing collection of interviews and footage covers the gamut of the zombie as we know it today, looking into the very earliest corners of human history and then forward into the near future, all in the pursuit of better understanding and better preparation for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
We then turn to the webisodes that were produced by AMC for seasons 2 and 3 of the Walking Dead.  These short, self-contained tales are stunning vignettes set in the world of the comic and TV series but not dealing with the main cast.  Season 2's webisodes were called "Torn Apart" and Season 3's were called "Cold Storage" and both are well worth your time to search out and watch.
We finish by talking about the abomination that is "48 frames per second" and the fascinating collage called "The Clock".  Let us know what you thought of the show by writing to us at mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 43 - Suspiciously Sadistic Sadists

This episode of the podcast focuses on the 8th episode of Season 3 of AMC's The Walking Dead.  This is the mid-season finale so now we are forced to wait two months for the next installment of our favorite TV show.  This week we finally meet the legendary Tyreese who swings a hammer with great vengeance and furious anger.  Michonne gets a few quiet moments alone with the Governor and they try to see things eye to eye.  The conversation wraps up with other things we've seen and done that aren't zombie-related.  We would love to hear what you thought of this first half of season three of the Walking Dead, and, even more than that, we'd love to hear what you think about the podcast.

Episode 42 - Queer, Undead, Sociopathic Love

Episode 42 is a twofer, so it goes just a bit longer than normal ( though it's not the podcastical equivalent of War and Peace ).  In this show we look at the 6th and 7th episodes from the third season of AMC's The Walking Dead.  These two episodes are leading us into the mid-season finale and the inevitable collision of the residents of Woodbury and the Prison.  Maggie and Glenn are held hostage by the Governor and Merle and we see Rick and his commando team leaving their concrete-walled safety in hopes of saving them both.  The tension mounts as we examine the events of these two fine episodes and we ponder what might be on the horizon.  Join us as the talk to turns to videogames, philosophy, and the magical power invested in Andrea's backside...

Episode 41 - Like a Loaded Shotgun

Episode 41 of the Z-Realm returns to AMC's The Walking Dead for the 5th chapter of Season 3, titled "Say the Word".  Rick is on revenge spree, Maggie and Darryl are searching for Huggies and formula, and Axel and Oscar have found themselves given a shot at inclusion. Meanwhile, at Woodbury, Michonne goes creepin' and the Governor practices his stroke technique on someone near and dear to him.  We also turn to the recent release of the World War Z trailer and eventually end up at everyone's favorite simple-minded hero.  Please let us know what you thought by writing to us at mail@z-realm.com or by leaving a post on the Facebook page.
