Finale | Grateful

On this bonus episode of Two Dead Chicks Podcast, Kia and Mel discuss fan/media conventions, the differences between the two, and how to navigate them. They also talk about how to set realistic expectations for your experience, things to do (and definitely not do), how much a fan experience can really cost and maybe which one not to go to.  Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!

Bonus | Convention All Stars

   In a shocking turn of events, we actually showed back up to do this recap of season 9 of The Walking Dead, five months late. We talk about that light that dimmed in our hearts once our main man was taken away, what it would take to pull us back into being a diehard fan and a look back at this little zombie show that changed our worlds.   Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!

 Remember to email us at twodeadchicks@gmail.com if you want to send us a voice memo/email/video to be a part of our final-ish episode. We're accepting submissions until April 18, 2019. And now...   The season 9 finale of The Walking Dead walked 500 miles to be one of the whelmiest finales we've experienced. Hop in the car and go with us as we pretend to be surprised that: a) a flea market with rugs, CPR lessons and wooden tokens didn't provide the necessary resources to combat the rot, locusts, frogs, fires or any of the other plagues God has rained down on the Kingdom b) Carol ghosted when times got tough c) Negan saved both a child and a dog, just in case we didn't get the hint that the redemption train is a-comin' d) Michonne is always right and a bad ass.

9.16 | The Storm

 On the penultimate episode of season 9 of The Walking Dead, we finally arrived at the fair or whatever this was. We watched in amazement as Alpha infiltrated the fair and then magically changed day to night and filthy to clean in a matter of mere moments. We also watched as Alpha impersonated a regular person named ‘Debbie’ and learned that normal just ain’t a life Alpha is gonna be living.  We had a lot of losses during this episode…..or did we? We didn’t recognize seven of the ten pike victims and we didn’t really care about the other three. (DEATH TO HENRY!!!)  Though we liked the call back to season 2 with Carol and Daryl when Sophia came out of the barn, we felt the much anticipated pike scene just didn’t pack the emotional punch (or any punch, for that matter) that we were promised.

9.15 | The Calm Before

OK. Where do we begin with this long-awaited episode of The Walking Dead? Our friend Tai Gooden helps us break this down.   What started as excitement to see our main woman, Michonne (Danai Gurira), step into the spotlight turned to horror over what we were watching. The kids? Eff them kids. Yes, they deserved to die and we hope they burn in hell! No, we were more than a little disgusted to see Michonne brutalized again. Tussling with the Governor's men? Check. Savage fight with the actual Governor? Check. Beat up by a MMA fighter disguised as a trash lady? Check. Knocked out by a demon child while pregnant? Check. Branded while pregnant? Check. Beaten with a wooden board while pregnant? Check. Had to kill a bunch of Children of the Corn to rescue her daughter who was abducted by a close friend from before the world ended? Check. Had her heavily pregnant belly slashed by a 6-year-old? Check. While he was at it, why didn't he just cut RJ out for good measure?   And we're still confused about the actual point of this. Was this supposed to explain why Maggie and Tara have an attitude with Michonne? Or why Michonne don't want no new friends? We get it. Sometimes, in the zombie apocalypse, you meet people and they try to eat you. No wait-- you meet people and they try to take half of your stuff and make you slaves. No, that's not it. Here we go: you meet people and they kill you and carve a "W" in your head. See where we're going? This ain't new. Not sure why we needed to see Michonne kill some kids?   By the way, thanks for all the help, Daryl. And Judith, go to your room!   On the plus side, Danai was phenomenal. As if there was any doubt. We saw RJ and he's the perfect kid. And Jocelyn, if nothing else, gave us the perfect tagline for these Richonne movies: Go Find Your Man.   Be sure to check out Tai's work at Hypable, SyFyWire and Bustle!   Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!

9.14 | Scars [with Tai Gooden]

   What in the actual hell was that, The Walking Dead?  Henry and Lydia are the worst. Doesn't Dog need a snack or something? Somebody come get these kids.  Meanwhile, The Highway Men are super stoked to watch Die Hard and so naturally The Kang and Queen Carol invite them to the fair because all of this seems like a great idea.  Darth Beta is doing the most to say the least. Who talks like this? And survives a fall down a whole elevator shaft and can actually GET UP?! This dude.  Donnie is adorable, but we are also conflicted. Because Daryl doesn't really deserve her. We'll never forget. #RIPGlenn #RIPOurRichonneHopesAndDreams #RIPTWD Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!

9.13 | Chokepoint

 On this episode of The Walking Dead, Aaron Bae and his robocop arm stan a Queen and he now recognizes that, as we all know, Michonne is always right. Father Gabriel and Siddiq still don’t get it, but sure, go on to the fair to watch Die Hard while there are people literally running around WEARING DEAD PEOPLE’S FACES. Y’all deserve whatever storm is coming your way! Speaking of storms, how about that Rosita/Father G/Siddiq/Eugene love square? Negan is really trying to convince us he has been rehabilitated, which we don’t believe, but okay. (We’ll never let go, Glenn!) But he’s also trying to skip a few steps and join the ranks of Michonne as a leader. No sir. You have to at least complete some hours of community service first. Michonne is just trying to keep people from getting their dumbasses killed, but all she’s getting is attitude from the likes of Father G and even Judith. Meanwhile, RJ sleeps peacefully because he is the perfect child. Fight us. Alpha and Beta gave us so much to talk about/laugh at this episode. Alpha may not like wasted words but she sure knows how to take off somebody’s head with a wire. Meanwhile, our new ship Donnie has set sail to find Henry The Doomed. Y’all shoulda left him out there, but nobody asked us. Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!

9.12 | Guardians

   The greatest episode of The Walking Dead since Rick's death? We think not, new friend Brandon Davis. While not horrible, it was…fine.   We're joined by our internet cousin (your internet auntie) Lise to discuss what she calls the dullest episode of the season. We talk about what special kink you need to have to wear walker masks during sex, how she actually likes Jersey (she even calls him by his real name) and we dig into Alpha a little bit. Where is she from? Is she the biggest bad we've seen so far? Where is she from? Why do people join her to get her kid but she makes them leave their baby in a field? Where is she from? What is driving her abusive behavior toward Lydia? Where. is. she. from? We pour one out early for Ezekiel because, c'mon. Also, is this a new ship we see off in the horizon?

9.11 | Bounty [with Lise from Take Off Your Cool podcast]

 Hey, remember season 8's episode 10 where we had those powerful, post-Carl's death performances by Andy and Danai? Or season 7's episode 10 where we had Rick giving Michonne her anniversary cat? Or season 6's episode 10 where we ascended forever when we got Richonne? Yeah. Nothing like that happened here. We're not gonna say we hated this episode of The Walking Dead (there was too much Daryl the Super Sleuth and Henry to make it truly great) but we managed.   The lack of Michonne was truly staggering as we watched Lydia and Alpha's backstory unfold through the recollection of this troubled youth. Lydia's not horrible, but we can't stand this thing she's got going with Henry. Make her another one of Daryl's pet projects if you must.   Speaking of Alpha, woooow. She crazy. Also, where is she from? Because that accent will continue to mystify us.       Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!

9.10 | Omega

 Guess who's back/back again/we are back/tell a friend. We're almost positive we've used that in episode notes before, but this is where we are. Season 9 of The Walking Dead, otherwise known as the last full season we'll acknowledge, rolls on and we're here for it. We did not mind this mid-season premiere at all, save for our usual Daryl and Negan disdain.   "You were right, Michonne." HALLELU!!!! We were tired of Rick being the only one putting some respect on her name. Keep that same energy...forever, Aaron and the rest of y'all ingrates. Even Tara fixed her face to speak to Michonne right when some real ish went down. Speaking of real ish, Tammy always seems ready to serve up some southern justice. We gotta watch her...   What we didn't need to watch was Negan's version of "This is Your Life" only for him to realize that no one was dumb or desperate enough to wait around for eight years hoping that he may show back up at the Sanctuary. No one but him, apparently.   And in the messiest thing to hit this show since Abe dumped Rosita for Sasha, we were quite intrigued, if not utterly confused by Rosita's love pentagon she's got going. We need to stick with her; she's got all the drama!   Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!   Support: Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

9.09 | Adaptation

   The Walking Dead's mid-season finale brought some serious old school horror vibes to the official introduction of The Whisperers. Heard of them? Don't know how you could have missed it since everyone from the executive producers on down have teased this intro since San Diego Comic Con. We get it.   Kia is joined by TWD super(ish) fans, Keyan and Kenneth, to discuss what worked and what didn't. What didn't? Whatever is going on with the rest of the groups against Michonne. It's tired. We've spent enough time with this character over close to a decade to know that whatever she went through to bring her to this way of thinking had to be a BFD and was not entered into lightly. And yet, here we have the likes of Tara getting an attitude? Tara, who just only recently found a purpose on this show after showing up in season 4? Tara, who went around for 2 seasons shouting to anyone who would listen that Dwight needed to die instead of looking at the bigger picture and then punked out when she got the chance? Tara, who's biggest story line last year was getting shot by an arrow. GTFOH.   Also, as far as terrorist groups go, this Whisperer deal seems terribly impractical. What's the recruitment technique to get a person to wear walker skin masks and immediately make yourself a target for an arrow in the head? What are the benefits? Do the walkers have a secret timeshare that you can take advantage of? There's too much fine print. Just let us join the Kingdom proper and get cobbler. Although…maybe not the Kingdom, because Carol was shedding too many tears over some screws and nails. It's not looking great over there.   What did work? The last 5-6 minutes were legit spooky, with the surprise death of our lord and savior Paul, Daryl returning to his walker autopsy roots and that creepy whispering at the end. Zoinks!   The less we say about useless Gabriel and Negan, the better.   We've extended the deadline to donate to our virtual baby shower/fundraiser for RJ Grimes!

9.08 | Evolution

   Welcome to Michael Cudlitz' directorial debut on The Walking Dead and the episode was a little all over the place.   I guess we were supposed to forget that Michonne was the target of an assassination attempt just one episode ago and wonder why she's still being so hard. Don't worry Michonne; we remember. We get a little subtle confirmation that Yumiko and Magna are a couple, we find out a little (or a lot) about what makes Luke tick and we find out that Connie has super vibration senses and can tell when a herd is coming. However, these new people are still exhausting, if for nothing else, the fact that we have to remember all of these names. Surely we can lose a couple of them in the mid-season finale next week.   Names we won't have to remember? Daryl's dog's, because his name is Dog. That is the most on brand thing ever. Daryl decided to take up residence in the woods after his search for Rick's body didn't come up with any results, but Carol wants him to leave his hermit life and travel back to Hilltop to stay with Henry so he can keep a balanced perspective in life. Almost immediately, Daryl scoffs at the idea, but a well placed scolding from Henry gets him to change his mind. Question: who is out there tying up Dog? We know it wasn't Daryl. Hmm.   Lastly, it seems the communities aren't as isolated as they seemed last week. While leadership from all three are not in official contact with each other, reluctant President Paul Rovia -- who has taken over since Maggie decided she wanted to leave go be with Georgie's group -- and Aaron have secret meetings to try to keep the lines of communication open. They also are training in extreme parkour or whatever, and no, that is not a euphemism.   Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!   Support: Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

9.07 | Stradivarius

 Like Michonne, we can find beacons of light shining through this post-Rick Grimes version of The Walking Dead, but man oh man, we sure felt his absence.   Kicking off six (6) whole, entire, full years after Rick's presumed death, we find our remaining mains in much different spaces emotionally than when we left them: Daryl walked into the abyss of his man pain, Carol has embraced the change her love for Ezekiel and Henry has brought into her life and Michonne? Well, she's still having a hard time grappling with life without her love. Every time we wanted to go, "Six years? Still?" Danai Gurira's breathtaking display of pain, unrest and sadness shut us up. But it's not all bad. She still has her Judith, who is now 10 years old and a handful. Whether she's a pointless addition to a hunting trip, bringing in stray survivors or constantly reminding Michonne of the world that she and Rick fought for, this little one is going to be a big player here. But also…if the old Judith wanted to make a guest appearance, we would not be mad. Things we're also not mad at: RICK MFing GRIMES, JR. The King Is Here! The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled. What is this water on our faces?! Rick has to see his new son in these movies. There can be no other outcome.   While Rick may have wanted to bring the communities together post-All Out War, the exact opposite has happened without his guidance. The communities don't keep in contact with each other -- do they even know Maggie ghosted Hilltop? -- and they've become rigid and distrustful of strangers. What happened in the past 6 years to turn them that way? Who hurt y'all? Literally, who hurt Michonne because we saw that scar on her back and it's time to SQUARE UP!   Don't forget to donate to our virtual baby shower/fundraiser for RJ Grimes!

Melissa and Kia are stowaways on the same fateful helicopter that took Rick Grimes away from us all. Will they ever be found? Only the TWD movies will bring them out of hiding. Until then, check out the Two Dead Chicks archives for recaps of seasons 1-9 of AMC's The Walking Dead.
