Reanimated Podcast

The season finale leaves the story in a place where a seven-episode season feels insufficient and the gang has some beef with a few writing choices made. Even so, season 3 needs to hurry up and get here. 

Joel and Ellie experience some of their happiest times and events take place that bring old wounds back to the surface. 

Reanimated breaks down "Feel Her Love" as Ellie and Dina sneak through war-torn Seattle, face off with Wolves and Scars, and Ellie's quest for vengeance leads her into the depths of the hospital-culminating in a tense showdown with Nora.

This week on the podcast - Seattle Correspondent Kyle has some thoughts about how the show is reflecting his city as Dina and Ellie attempt to find their footing and we get to bask in Jeffrey Wright's performance as Isaac.

Reanimated joins the community of Jackson as it attempts to come to terms with the events of the past few months. 

"... and this is Joel."

Kyle rejoins for some reactions to the start of the second season of The Last of Us!

This is the end - of Generation Z, anyway. This show tried to do an awful lot and succeeded at times, but ultimately, it just didn't have time to do what Ben Wheatley was trying to accomplish. 

We return for more of Ben Wheatley's Generation Z and can't help but adore Viola Prettejohn's turn as Finn. 

It's off to Damsbury for some generationally charged zombocalypse metaphor with Ben Wheatley's Generation Z.

It's one part Memento, one part Endzeit and a dash of Big Love on this week's Reanimated show about Die Alone. Come have a listen!

Some wildly good performances, stunning cinematography and a tight script all come together to make this Filipino film really stand out.  

Reanimated tackles the Spanish film Apocalypse Z on this week's podcast - the gang loved the pacing and storytelling in this adaptation of a popular novel and we're looking forward to the sequel!

Despite there being about 60 minutes missing from this movie, and at times it showed - Reanimated had a good time in Salem's Lot. Between a great cast, some fantastic editing and creepy Gordon Lightfoot songs, this really was a fun time. 

Reanimated finishes up in the bunker for now with the second season of Silo. Back to our regularly scheduled undead fare. 

We get a lot of answers about what went on in Silo 17 and Lukas finds out a lot about what is going on in Silo 18. The lives of ten thousand hang in the balance. 

A rare miss for Silo, this episode had Reanimated wishing we had the bends and could just hang out underwater until the plot decided it wanted to move on in a more meaningful manner. 

As Mechanical tries to strike a blow in the psyops battle, Bernard is making moves on multiple levels as usual. In Silo 17 Juliette and Solo undertake a huge mission but then Juliette is faced with a dangerous mystery! Yikes!

Bernard continues to race all over the Silo attempting to quell the growing civil unrest. Lines are being drawn and sides are being chosen. 

Solo might have a screw loose, Juliet isn't feeling so good and things in Silo 18 are reaching a fever pitch. 

Solo and Juliette get on each other's nerves while things continue to unravel at Silo 18. 

Reanimated joins in on the frenzy of speculation about the 28 Years Later trailer. Meanwhile in Silo, Juliette and Solo get to know each other a little more while things are on a razor's edger back at Silo 18.

In this episode of Silo, we get to see how the residents of Silo 18 are managing in the wake of Juliette Nichol's dramatic exit at the end of Season 1.

We delve back into the Silo for a second season. 

There's a lot to like about this family drama/dark comedy starring Damian Lewis and Kelly Macdonald as the heads of a family of suburban vampires. 

We say aurevoir to season 2 of Daryl Dixon with a pretty solid season ender. A lot happened and the episode even wound up going in a direction that we did not expect!

This was a really solid episode of the show with Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride and the supporting cast firing on all cylinders and a script that highlighted some great character growth.

Tears were shed in this episode as we were served up a great reunion roughly five episodes in the making. Tears were also shed in frustration as a beloved cast member was killed. Nevertheless, we carry on as true Walking Dead fans must.

We learn more about Marion Genet's background as a janitor at the Louvre and some of the reason for her odd relationship to art in this episode of the Walking Dead spin-off. Carol makes progress in her search and unfortunately we also say goodbye to a character who got done dirty. 

While Stuart's dreams of a real pond-hopping adventure were dashed, our hosts found themselves enjoying the plot to this second episode of the Walking Dead spin-off. 

It's time to revisit France for the second season of the Daryl and Carol spin-off! (or as some like to refer to it, TWD:DD:TBOC). HA is not feeling it thus far, with some characters making a series of poor choices that beggar belief for folks who've survived more than a decade into the zompocalypse. Stuart just wants to see some airplanes. 

Special guest host Simon joins Reanimated this week, while H.A. is on the road, to discuss Werewolves Within, an adaptation of a video game with a cast and production crew made up of comedy superstars that packs a lot of laughs into its runtime.

We know, we were sleeping on this one for too long. Join Reanimated this week as we take a look back at the animated prequel to Train to Busan. Lots of great storytelling in this film!

Is this a werewolf movie? Reanimated howls with the cracking of bones when the beast within emerges in this Kit Harrington film. 

We went through just about every stage of grief in viewing this film. It was a tough one, but we're well versed in having our emotions wrung out for the love of this genre. Come and watch "Handling the Undead" with Reanimated. 

It was time to revisit Canada for this zomedy. "We Are Zombies" presented some legitimately novel ideas that we would like to see more fleshed out, but ultimately ... well have a listen. 

Reanimated says goodbye to Paris and the Theatre des Vampires with a powerful season finale for season two of the popular Anne Rice adaptation. 

Reanimated recaps the big trial of Louis, Claudia and Madeleine at the Theatre des Vampires.

The lost episode of Reanimated's All of Us Are Dead review series.

The wheels come off for Louis and Claudia in Paris whilst "Enduring for Guido."

With "Don't be afraid, just start the tape" we head back to the 1970s to fill in some gaps in Louis' and Molloy's memories. 

Blacked Out is an indie horror film that brings a lot to the table, including a character named Stuart, which as we all know, means he is going to be terrible. 

Reanimated sinks its teeth into the fourth episode of the second season of Interview with the Vampire where Claudia and Louis continue to dance around the vicious heart of the Paris coven, with tragedy lurking around the corner.

Louis and Claudia get to know the vampire coven of Paris, while Molloy is approached by a mysterious new contact in Dubai. 

Do you know what it means to be loved by death? Well Ben Daniels' Santiago certainly wants us to all find out in this second outing for the new season of Interview with the Vampire. 

It's back! The great TV adaptation of Anne Rice's novels returns to AMC+ and Reanimated cannot be happier! come and listen as we get into the first episode of the new season. 

Reanimated sinks its fangs into the still-in-theaters film Abigail for a good time.

Captain Eliot has a stowaways problem on the Demeter and it's unclear if anyone will be able to figure it out before they run out of crew. 

The latest from Diablo Cody and the directorial debut of Zelda Williams was an ode to (better) films from the '80s in "Lisa Frankenstein."

It got downright emotional at Reanimated headquarters today when HA and Stuart discussed the last episode of The Ones Who Live. It was gratifying to see the core of The Walking Dead writing/director team and some of the stand-out actors from the franchise deliver six pretty great episodes of television in what feels like a fond farewell from the show we've enjoyed for 13-odd years.

H.A. and Stuart take a look at the fifth and penultimate episode of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. With one episode left in the limited series, we're left with a lot of questions about how the show will wrap all of this up.
