There's a deadly fungus among us! Alexis Hejna from Honeysuckle Rose Creations hosts a roundtable look the second season of the hit TV series based off the hit video game (and its sequel), joined by Jesse Starcher and Jayson Teasely. Let's take a look at this story of vengeance, love, and mushrooms. The second season of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us was originally broadcast on HBO between April and May 2025. Based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog, the season is set twenty-five years into a pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection, which causes its hosts to transform into zombie-like creatures and collapses society. The second season, based on the first half of the 2020 game The Last of Us Part II, follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) five years after the events of the first season, after they have settled into Jackson, Wyoming, with Joel's brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and Ellie's friends Dina (Isabela Merced) and Jesse (Young Mazino).HBO renewed The Last of Us for a second season less than two weeks after the series premiered in January 2023. Co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann were joined in the writers' room by Halley Gross and Bo Shim; Druckmann wrote and co-directed the games, and Gross co-wrote Part II. Principal photography took place in British Columbia from February to August 2024. Druckmann, Mazin, and Peter Hoar returned to direct the seven episodes alongside newcomers Kate Herron, Nina Lopez-Corrado, Mark Mylod, and Stephen Williams. Gustavo Santaolalla and David Fleming returned to compose the score.Critics felt the season reinforced The Last of Us as the best video game adaptation, praising the action sequences, direction, performances, production design, and writing, though some criticized the pacing and considered the story incomplete. It was nominated for several awards. Across linear channels and Max, the season premiere was watched by 5.3 million viewers on the first day, a 13% increase from the first-season premiere; by May, the series averaged almost 37 million global viewers per episode.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Min 4: THE LAST OF US 2: ¿Final rompedor o interruptus forzado? El cierre de la segunda temporada de The Last of Us ha confirmado lo que se intuía desde sus primeros compases: esta serie no está dispuesta a ofrecer consuelo fácil ni verdades absolutas. La adaptación del videojuego de culto de Naughty Dog vuelve a hacer historia con un final tan polémico como desgarrador, fiel a la narrativa que parte a sus personajes —y al espectador— por dentro. El episodio divide a la audiencia entre quienes celebran su audacia emocional y quienes lo ven como una traición a las expectativas narrativas más convencionales. No hay fan service, no hay justicia tradicional. Solo queda la consecuencia, el precio del odio, el eco del amor perdido. NOTA FINAL EDC RAQUEL HERNÁNDEZ: 3,5 estrellas NOTA FINAL EDC ROBERTO LANCHA: 4 estrellas Min 17: EL CAMINO ESTRECHO (MOVISTAR PLUS) Miniserie de cinco episodios estrenada en Movistar Plus+ y Universal+, basada en la novela homónima de Richard Flanagan, ganadora del Premio Booker en 2014. Dirigida por Justin Kurzel y escrita por Shaun Grant, la serie narra la vida de Dorrigo Evans, un cirujano australiano que, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, es capturado por los japoneses y obligado a trabajar en la construcción del ferrocarril entre Tailandia y Birmania, conocido como el "ferrocarril de la muerte". La narrativa se desarrolla en tres líneas temporales: antes, durante y después de la guerra, explorando el impacto del conflicto en la vida y la psique del protagonista. Jacob Elordi interpreta a Dorrigo en su juventud, mientras que Ciarán Hinds lo encarna en su vejez. La serie también cuenta con las actuaciones de Odessa Young como Amy, el amor prohibido de Dorrigo, y Simon Baker como el tío de Dorrigo. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 24. LA MEJOR HERMANA (PRIME VIDEO) Basada en la novela homónima de Alafair Burke, la serie está dirigida por Craig Gillespie y Leslie Hope, y protagonizada por Jessica Biel y Elizabeth Banks, quienes también ejercen como productoras ejecutivas. La trama se centra en Chloe Taylor (Biel), una exitosa ejecutiva de medios de comunicación, y su hermana Nicky Macintosh (Banks), una mujer en proceso de recuperación de adicciones. Tras el asesinato del esposo de Chloe, Adam (Corey Stoll), las hermanas se ven obligadas a reunirse y enfrentar secretos familiares ocultos durante mucho tiempo. NOTA EDC: 3'5 estrellas Min 25. DEPT. Q (NETFLIX) Serie de suspense policial recién estrenada en Netflix, basada en las novelas del autor danés Jussi Adler-Olsen. La adaptación, dirigida por Scott Frank (Gambito de dama), traslada la acción a Edimburgo, Escocia, y sigue al inspector Carl Morck (Matthew Goode), un detective brillante pero socialmente complicado, relegado a una unidad de casos sin resolver tras un tiroteo que dejó a su compañero paralítico y a otro agente muerto. Junto a un equipo de inadaptados, Morck se enfrenta a crímenes antiguos mientras lidia con su propio trauma y culpa. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas Min 32. BSO "FOREVER" (NETFLIX) La banda sonora de la serie Forever destaca por su selección musical ecléctica y emocionalmente resonante, que complementa la narrativa introspectiva de la serie. Compuesta por Daniel Hart, la música original se entrelaza con una cuidada selección de canciones de diversos géneros, creando una atmósfera única que refleja los altibajos de la vida y la muerte.

"The Last Of Us," the Emmy Award-winning drama series from Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, partially adapts the 2020 game "The Last Of Us Part II" with dazzling action sequences, immersive production design, and state-of-the-art visual and practical effects. One element that gets sometimes overlooked when talking about the crafts of Naughty Dog's world is the costumes by Ann Foley. Foley was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about her work on the series, which you can listen to below.

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas unpack the intense and divisive finale of The Last of Us Season 2. With Ellie and Abby's storylines colliding once more, the co-hosts share honest reactions on the pacing, character arcs, and controversial narrative choices. From missing emotional beats to major changes from the game, this episode offers a deep dive into what worked, what fell short, and what it all means for Season 3. They also reflect on the show's broader themes of revenge, survival, and morality, and how they compare to Joel's legacy. Plus, they tease upcoming reviews of Ironheart and Galaxy Quest. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Challenge Accepted 00:00:22 First impressions on the finale and frustrations with pacing 00:01:15 Viewer disconnect with Abby and Ellie's arcs 00:02:07 Trusting the showrunners into Season 3 00:03:09 Why seven episodes wasn't enough 00:04:13 Ellie's rage vs. likability 00:05:27 Changes from the game's story 00:07:19 Favorite new character and wasted potential 00:08:21 The boat sequence and story logic issues 00:10:00 Ellie's revenge path and moral cost 00:12:37 Comparing Ellie's choices to Joel's 00:15:27 Maturity, trauma, and how the writing shaped Ellie 00:17:13 Why Joel's absence broke the show's emotional core 00:19:03 Season comparisons to Game of Thrones and Andor 00:20:56 Favorite quiet moments: bookstore and community talk 00:23:06 Seattle setting and visuals 00:24:55 Bella Ramsey's performance vs. the writing 00:25:49 The lost potential of Tommy's character 00:27:57 Frank and Thomas' hopes for Season 3 00:28:40 Concern over the series' future 00:30:11 Why a Bill and Frank-style episode was needed 00:31:24 Dreaming of a “day in the life” episode in Jackson 00:32:07 Final thoughts and season wrap-up 00:32:30 What's next: Ironheart and Galaxy Quest 00:33:52 Summer movie season preview and send-off Key Takeaways: The finale was emotionally uneven, especially for non-gamers unfamiliar with Abby's arc. The seven-episode structure left major character arcs feeling rushed or incomplete. Ellie's decisions feel less justified than Joel's, lacking the emotional maturity to anchor her actions. Key relationships, like Ellie and Tommy's, needed more development. Seattle's visual portrayal and Bella Ramsey's acting were highlights, despite the script's weaknesses. The show missed opportunities to slow down and reflect, such as a standalone character episode. Season 3's success may hinge on how it handles Abby and reconnects with the show's emotional roots. Quotes: “They're asking us to trust them for Season 3—but they didn't earn that trust this time.” “Joel was hollow after his loss. Ellie should be too, but the show never truly commits to that.” “You can't expect the audience to love Abby if you give them no reason to care.” “Bella Ramsey crushed it—some of the dialog just didn't do her justice.” “Seattle felt alive, dangerous, and immersive. That's one thing they got right.” Call to Action: If you enjoyed this breakdown of The Last of Us finale, make sure to subscribe to Challenge Accepted, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, and share the episode using #ChallengeAcceptedPodcast.

Gameplay woes and character issues aside, the team over at Naughty Dog pulled off the impossible: they not only made me not hate Abby, they made me like her so much I think she may just be the new best character in the series. Unlike Ellie, Abby actually shows growth and an ability to make her own decisions, whereas Ellie becomes a less interesting character the longer the game goes on, eventually becoming someone I almost, kind of, don't like anymore--the final confrontation is a perfect showcase of the how feelings have changed from the beginning of the playthrough to the end of it. While I still don't think Naughty Dog is the best at gameplay, they prove with The Last of Us Part II that they still know how to make one hell of a story.

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank dissect Season 2, Episode 5 of The Last of Us, titled "Feel Her Love." The duo dives into the pacing of the story, the return of airborne spores, Ellie's descent into vengeance, and how the show is adapting key video game moments. They also unpack the evolution of Ellie and Dina's relationship, the brutal tactics of the Seraphites, and how voice actors from the game are being honored in the series. Plus, a look ahead to next week's emotional flashback episode featuring Joel and Ellie in a space museum. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 – Introduction and initial thoughts on the episode 00:23 – Pacing critique and game-to-show comparisons 01:45 – The reintroduction of airborne spores and narrative implications 03:33 – The Rat King foreshadowing and Cordyceps lore 05:16 – The Ellie and Dina relationship discussion 08:22 – Dina's backstory and her role as Ellie's moral compass 11:33 – Comparing Ellie's motives in the show vs. the game 13:29 – Jesse's return and the fallout of Ellie's decisions 15:05 – Smarter infected and horror elements in the show 16:39 – Tension between Ellie and Jesse 17:36 – Chemistry issues between Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced 19:14 – The brutality of the Seraphites and visual storytelling 21:20 – Hospital confrontation with Nora and narrative choices 23:30 – B2 level and the haunting fungal visuals 25:10 – Ellie's torture tactics and moral decay 26:14 – Voice actor cameos and Naughty Dog's casting continuity 28:09 – Flashbacks and the upcoming museum/space scene 30:14 – Pedro Pascal appreciation and season predictions 32:24 – Final thoughts on the episode and excitement for next week Key Takeaways: The show brings back the airborne spores concept from the game, deepening the threat of infection. Ellie's journey is leaning heavily into vengeance, and it's changing her morally. Dina is given more agency, grounding Ellie emotionally while adding dramatic tension. Jesse's reappearance adds layers to the drama, especially given his relationship with Dina. The infected are getting smarter, adding horror elements not typical in standard zombie shows. Fans of the game will recognize the iconic space museum flashback teased for next episode. Voice actors from the game are given meaningful roles in the show, showcasing their talent beyond voice work. Quotes: “We're seeing Ellie go into the dark side, accepting it because it's the most effective way to get things done.” “It's nice to see Dina not just as a love interest, but as someone Ellie needs to stay grounded.” “Pedro Pascal is the top A-list actor right now—don't come for him, Rowling.” “Voice actors are actors. Period.” Call to Action: If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, leave us a five-star review, and share with your fellow survivors. Use #ChallengeAcceptedPod to join the conversation!

Bingers and gamers Jay Sisson and J Scotty St Clair return to react to the intense latest installment of HBO's The Last Of Us adaptation. This one earns its mature rating in more ways than one.Game Spoilers at 00:23:45

By popular demand we've been forced into covering Uncharted 2021, an adaptation of some of the Naughty Dog video game series. Not the good one (The Last Of Us on HBO) but Uncharted 2021, a movie that mostly covers some of the ground seen in parts 3 and 4. With Tom Holland taking on the role as a young Nathan Drake and Mark Whalberg playing that much beloved character, himself, this globe trotting adventure sets the bar for movies that feel like they come out in 2014.
