548: "Days Gone Bye" (TWD S1E1 Rewatch)

Happy Halloween! Happy 13th anniversary of The Walking Dead (13 years is brains, we’re pretty sure)! And welcome to the start of our Walking Dead rewatch! Rarrr!!! It was such a pleasure to revisit TWD S1E1 “Days Gone Bye” and find that it’s as fantastic an episode of television as we remembered, and also to explore how our perspective on it has changed now that we’ve seen the whole series and we’ve all got 13 more years of life behind us.We’re excited to keep going with the rewatch, and hopefully make our way back through the entire series, and we need your help to make it a success. Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing this. Just send them to thecastofus.com. They’ll thank you for it :) If you’re in a Walking Dead Facebook group (or any other WD group), let them know too! I’d think people who are fans would be into it. T As always, we want your feedback (and zombie sounds) as we go back through The Walking Dead.

Om Podcasten

Fans of The Walking Dead know it's so much more than a zombie show. It's an emotionally rich, character-driven series about love and loss, and found family, and the lengths we'd go through to protect the people we care about. That's what's kept us coming back all these years. (And also we like zombies.) I’m Jason Cabassi. My cohost Karen and I started podcasting about The Walking Dead back in 2010. Along the way, I’ve appeared on the show a couple of times as a walker, hosted hundreds of Q&A panels with TWD actors at conventions across the U.S., and eventually teamed up with my current co-host, the witty and insightful Lucy Hinnie. Together—with some incredible guests—we’ve covered The Last of Us and every Walking Dead spinoff, from Fear to Dead City. Right now, we’re enjoying a rewatch of the original series—with the full story in mind—and diving into the moments that still hit hard. Past guests on the podcast include Andrew Lincoln (Rick), Danai Gurira (Michonne), Norman Reedus (Daryl), Steven Yeun (Glenn), Lauren Cohan (Maggie), Robert Kirkman, Angela Kang, Greg Nicotero, and many more. And the most fun and fulfilling part of all this has absolutely been interacting with you guys and making it a conversation. So write in, send a voice message, and be part of it!
