Squawking Dead

GREAT QUESTION! Is it merely a matter of old habits dying hard or an instinct that's always there, waiting in the wings, to find an avenue? How far does one have to go to protect someone before it incurs a cost?

Under the guise of a livestream, we surprised our co-host, Rachael, with a special early birthday tribute (from #TWDFamily). With special appearances by Colby Minifie & Jenna Elfman. ⭐ RATE US: RateThisPodcast.com/SQUAWKINGDEAD

Who is the good/bad guy? Far from being friends, Maggie Rhee & Negan bind their fates - by way of mutually assured destruction - in order to rescue Hershel Rhee from the clutches of The Croat, whilst Marshall Pearlie Armstrong of The New Babylon Federation wreak Tranquilitas Ordinis along the way.

What this episode does well is gather all of the narrative breadcrumbs that were dropped in previous episodes and, along with the repeating theme of parents losing children losing parents, brings them all full circle to an unexpectedly powerful crescendo. Morgan Jones, we're not losing you: we're taking you with us, no matter how far you sojourn. You can hide, but you can't run.

This episode takes a scenic route to get to what was ultimately a heart-rendering, beautifully-filmed episode. Grace Mukherjee/Karen David will be missed, Baby Mo/Zoey Merchant is killing it, and the show may reveal how many layers of Morgan Jones we can peel back before he starts seeing red.

This episode is supremely satisfying in ways we couldn't expect. Fear The Walking Dead raises The Walking Dead in order to construct one of Season 8's best episodes, thus far, by taking Morgan Jones' family back to where The Walking Dead UNIVERSE (and his own personal tragedy) started.

PADRE is a LIE! …or is it? The show not only finally reunites Daniel Salazar with both June Dorie & Madison Clark, but takes a peek behind Oz's curtain on PADRE's nouveau raison d'être - and I get the feeling some of you might think the means might justify the ends.

We've gone through the one-way mirror and peered through the other side of where #JuneDorie is, right now, and - not gonna lie - it's dark in here. #FearTheWalkingDead is taking a potential gamble with some subplots revealed in this episode and we are eager to see how this is going to play out.

The Drab 4 reunite, under duress, to discuss #FearTheWalkingDead's #SeasonPremiere of it's 8th and final season. It is definitely not roses in SDHQ, as hosts are split about how enjoyable this episode of #FTWD actually was. With so much pressure for #IanGoldberg & #AndrewChambliss to stick the landing, is it any wonder why tensions are riding high?

NEVER GIVE UP; NEVER SURRENDER: we flashback just before the present-day events of the first episode to contextualize Ellie's headspace as she moves heaven and earth to save Joel. Having rededicated herself to FEDRA academy, Riley shows up to whisk Ellie away to experience "the 4 wonders of the mall", making it both the best and worst day of her life. Both in this episode and the last one, we've left out our shorter post-watch livestream takes from these audio podcasts - both in the interest in time and because we appreciate your patience too much to leave them in!

After our Reaction Video, we go through the finer points in our full breakdown: In many ways - largely understated - the series is careening towards an end we may not be fully prepared for: Joel & Tommy reconcile over 20 years worth of baggage, which allows Joel to quickly recover nearly demolishing his bond with Ellie. Just when things started looking up - in ways we never thought we'd get to see - they suddenly take a violent turn.
