Reanimated Podcast

Planet Terror

Sigh. It's got some fun bits.

Reanimated finished up the first season of Black Summer hoping that more will be coming down the pike.

We passed the halfway mark in Black Summer on this podcast, with episodes Diner and The Heist which were pretty darn strong. Reanimated also chatted about the battle for Winterfell in “The Long Night” episode of Game of Thrones which aired a week ago, so as always watch out for spoilers.One of the best articles we read on the topic of the battle of Winterfell was this one from Wired magazine of all unlikely sources: https://www.wired.com/story/game-of-thrones-winterfell-battle-tactical-analysis/

Black Summer continues with some Lord of the Flies action and an episode that makes me tired just watching it. Hats off to Lance. But right after saluting him, we'd slap him in his dumb face for making so many zombie survival mistakes. But then we'd shake his hand and he'd be very confused.

Reanimted devoured the first two episodes of Black Summer in this edition of the podcast.

Reanimated took a questionable break from all the great zombie content coming out right now to look at Outpost. Look we're not perfect. And neither was Outpost.

Reanimated is becoming well-versed in Joseon at this point, heading to 17th Century Korea for Rampant in this episode.

Reanimated recaps 7 episodes of The Passage, putting a stake through the sweet spot of Season 1 of the adapted series from Justin Cronin's novels.

T’was the season!
Reanimated is tapping its toes and humming along after reviewing Anna and the Apocalypse.

Six episodes into Season 8, the days seem shorter, the nights, colder. Oh it's winter. But still, there's something off.

This is our penance. We must recap Season 8 of The Walking Dead so that we might never have to watch it again. We do this so others don't have to.

It has some frustrating parts but the penultimate episode for Fear the Walking Dead also managed to get some laughs.

Continuing to hammer our way through the pre-mid-season of Fear the Walking Dead, Reanimated gets through a couple of winners with "Laura" and "Just in Case."

Shame about the heavy use of flashbacks in these episodes and HA manages to avoid all the spoilers about Nick somehow.

What a disturbing and yet frothy film. Mom and Dad isn't much of a horror film, but it's got most of the required bits, Reanimated thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Come for the podcast, stay for the ear worms.

Reanimated wraps up the last 2+ hours of FTWD. There are some issues, but overall the strongest total season of the show.

"This Land is Your Land" is a brutal episode of FTWD. We take a look at the way it played out. It was pretty good, definitely left a mark but managed to feature a stupidly long crawl through an air vent that defied belief.

Lots of relationships are put through stress in Episode 12 of Season 3 of FTWD. Walker comes out looking pretty jerky. It's not an action-packed episode but there's a lot of good dialog and character development.

It's been a long doldrums of summer, but we're back with coverage of FTWD!

This one really had an impact on our brave team of recappers. Babies, man. Babies.

This is a short recap/review of Resident Evil: Retribution. Short because it's pretty lousy and we mostly talked about GoT and the recent deaths of two men in the zombie movie and TV business.

The finale of Fear the Walking Dead had its share of weak spots, but overall we've been treated to a superior run of episodes from the Walking Dead spin-off.

Reanimated was split on Red Dirt - some of us are sick and tired of a truly played out trope of cowboys vs. indians, while others applauded the plot's focus and character development, despite some poor decisions being made. It's zombie-lite but Red Dirt continues season three's attempt to turn the show around for the diminishing audience.

We attempt to keep pace with the complex quilt of narrative in this episode of Fear The Walking Dead, but it's some tough going.

Reanimated went back to remedial Spanish classes for the most recent episode of FTWD entitled "100." The show packs a lot of good stuff into a tight little story arc in this one and it's good to be reunited with our favorite Central American hitman/torturer. We also had a chuckle at the expense of the gushiest articles about FTWD courtesy Forbes.

Lots of interesting developments back at Broke Jaw in episode 3 this week on Reanimated. Meanwhile, things aren't looking good for Strand with his frenemy Dante.

We jump fresh from the end of our recap of season 6 of TWD into the new season of FTWD. Watch out for all the spoilers, because it's basically just a big bucket of spoilers, but hey we gotta cope somehow. Listen along to join in the group therapy.

Thank the maker, it's over. It's finally over. Now we can look forward to Fear the Walking Dead Season 3. I can't wait to see what sort of fun adventures Travis gets up to, as well as the rest of the gang, but mostly Travis - he's the best.

Alicia Witt heads up a crack team of saviors and then we're treated to a parallel tale of the two biggest chickens in Alexandria in these two fun episodes.

We get to start growing the world with a visit to Hilltop and then go on a crazy murder spree at the Satellite Station in these two episodes of The Walking Dead this time on Reanimated.

On Reanimated 139 we recapped the mid season premiere of S6, No Way Out, as well as the feel-good The Next World. One good thing about No Way Out - we basically never spend another second of this show or storyline thinking about Pete, Jessie, Ron or Sam, Alexandria's doomed family. A lot of people liked The Next World, but we pan it for being too floofy.

Glenn's miraculous survival is undermined by dull conversations with angsty teenager Enid, the walls fall down and nothing is looking good for Alexandria.

Alexandria deals with being surrounded by walkers and unlikely romances are kindled this time around on TWD.

Who put Nicholas in charge of getting everyone home safe? RIP

In a very special "in person" episode, Reanimated hosts came together in one room to record the podcast for once. On this momentous occasion your hosts chose to begin reviewing Season 6 of TWD.

Eat your heart out Warm Bodies. This is the zomcom we all deserved, the zomcom we needed.

It was a grindhouse kinda day for Reanimated in episode 133. Our hosts had a good ole time being reminded just how bad B movies were back in the day, but in a good way. It's Maniac Cop!

Reanimated needed a group prescription for mind-numbing anti-depressants after finishing Rec2, which oddly, is a good thing. Man, it's good to be back in Spain, getting jumped by demon zeds.

A very faithful adaptation made for an interesting film experience for Reanimated. We had a couple of moans about the loss of the Junkers, but overall it was :thumbsup:

We were split on the Netflix Olyphant, Barrymore project, with H.A. getting some good laughs out of it, while Stuart felt like there wasn't enough sincerity.

It's a tasty medley of The Rezort followed by two episodes of The Santa Clarita Diet for this episode of Reanimated.

It's dark and brutal but it's undeniably one of the best executed zombie TV shows out there. Reanimated polishes off Dead Set in episode 128.

At least one good thing came out of 2017 so far, and that was Netflix putting Dead Set up in its catalog. Get it while you can.

Reanimated rounds out season 5 of TWD in this episode. Concluding that Nicholas is a shell game of a character who only exists to put more important characters in danger, Deanna pulls a 180 on violent punishments and did Carol orchestrate Pete's psychotic episode?

Rick's group continues to take over Alexandria from within with their cunning plan.

It was an interesting trio of TWD episodes in Reanimated's ongoing review this time around with episodes 10-12 of Season 5. Rick's group gets broken down so it can arrive in style at Alexandria and we are introduced to many new characters, including

YOINK, there goes your family reunion, Maggie. Reanimated covers some tough ground with TWD Season 5 Episodes 7-9 in this show. The last couple of times that actually meaningful character deaths happen before season 7.

Hanging with Beth Greene, gosh it feels so good to spend time with her again. Reanimated trips down memory lane to three episodes of our fractured group, with Beth, Abraham and his gang and catch up with Daryl and Carol on their mission in the city.

We're back to The Walking Dead prime - yea though most of us walk through the valley of the shadow of season 7, reanimated fears no evil, because we're still on season 5 of our mega comprehensive TWD review, yo!

After some shocking emoji news, Reanimated gets down to brass tacks with a review of Cell - the poorly received Stephen King adaptation about how your obsession with your phone will make you eat your dog.

Freaks of Nature is a dumb movie, but it's a dumb movie with a great cast and solid performances that basically carries the stupid premise and hokey plot. Check out our review!

Contortionists, some moral lessons and all around awesome were all parts of this fun zed flick.

Someone on the writing staff at Fear hates Madison. They want her to be terrible. Mission accomplished.

Fear the Walking Dead recreated the quarry zombie corralling scene from Season 6 of TWD in miniature scale. Reanimated was there to poke holes and question all of it.... I mean as they watched it on TV, not actually there in Mexico.

The show checks in with poor Travis and his ill-fated progeny. It gets pretty bro-y. Then the hotel storyline picks up so that's cool.

Reanimated picks back up with its favorite fare - zombies! The downside is that H.A. and Stuart are pretty skeptical that FTWD is the show we wanted it to be at this point. Will Season 2B be the course correction that the show needs?

We hammer out the final three episodes of the first season of Outcast and what a ride that was. Many stories of couples play out. Kyle and the Rev, Mark and Megan, Sidney and Aaron, etc. Also Flakka is a thing.

Demons! Reanimated continues with its review of season 1 of Outcast

Demonsdemonsdemonsdemons! Reanimated continues its review of season 1 of Outcast, a kick show filled with kick writing and kick actors.

Outcast season 1 review continues in Episode 109, as Reanimated strays off the zombie path into one far more possess-y.
