Host Dave is going solo, #Live, taking your questions, comments, reactions on Fear The Walking Dead's 4th Season (Finale)! Update: After an abysmal #livestream, attempting to #stream to #Periscope, #Instagram, #YouTube, and #Facebook (simultaneously), the feed finally cut out at 36 mins! Luckily, we had a backup recording we could use to create the edited videos and podcast with. #YouTubeLive #FacebookLive #InstragramLive * Pimping out the audience to help co-host #FearTWDseason5 * #MorganJones & #Althea: keep an eye out for these two outsiders * Martha's perspective on Althea: The tapes vs IRL. Explaining crazy * Understanding Martha's coming to being (mad) and what the writers could've done to suspend disbelief * The seed Martha plants in Althea's mind about her outsiderness * Poetry of the same police cruiser being used as a vehicle (help) by all the outsiders (Althea, Martha, and Morgan) * #JohnDorie shows the clear difference between the way he respects Morgan vs TWD characters * ...John telling Morg

This is the edited version of our 4th #live show on #YouTube & #Facebook (#YouTubeLive & #FacebookLive). Oh yeah, and Dave wrote an intro! It's been a while! * Carol's constructive criticism of #FearTWDseason4 #antihero #antivillain * ...poor villain construction * ...too ambitious * Dave doesn't blame Carol, buuuuut... * ...breaking down Martha & #JimBrauer, properly * ...characters fall and rise makes them stronger than before * Carol: Reboot, time skip, and unclear trajectory + Martha near the end = misses the mark * Dave has a theory on why Martha is vital, Part 1 * Comparing to The Walking Dead, what they could've done vs what they did, colors our perceptions * ...explaining the difference between protagonists & antagonists on FTWD vs TWD #venndiagram * ...both Season 4s, FTWD & TWD, is when our heroes dramatically change (remember when #RickGrimes tears off Joe #TheClaimers ear off with his teeth?) * Martha's origin: riffing on teaching - a thankless job * Comparing Martha & #Dar

Our #Live game is strong on both #Facebook & #YouTube! THREE-PEAT! #YouTubeLive #FacebookLive We're also trying to consistently record on a schedule: Wednesdays, 10PM EDT (-5 GMT/UTC) * Carol, "Where is everybody? Everybody's scattered!" ...when does TWD air? * ...remembering when villains were villains (concrete, as opposed to vague) * ... #realtalk, it's not until the end of "Blackjack" that we start to see where the rest of this season is going * Is #MadisonClark really gone? #NoOnesGoneTilTheyreGone * (F)TWD masterplan and FearTWD ratings trending upward * ... #RickGrimes / #AndrewLincoln's departure is not a death * #NaomiLauraJune's attempt at Raising Hope, channeling #JohnDorie (#GarretDillahunt) * New June meets Male Naomi (#NewMeOldMe) and falling just short of the Madison ideal * ...confusing reveal of No One's Gone Til They're Gone Madison vs #MamaBear Madison * ... #DarylDixon brings this up, too: are we stronger, together, or better apart (in smaller groups)? * The puzzle pieces are starting

Prepare your antivirus programs for a very gross-sounding Dave & Carol! * Both Carol & Wendell don't quite have "The Code" down right * #MogranJones-centered episode and will they make it to #AlexandriaSafeZone? * Another Ep, another kind of #Walker kill * Alright, no more Peanut Butter Protein Bars (reminders of home) * #WizardofOz moment for Morgan * Parallels between #JohnDorie's hardware store & The Mississippi Truck Stop * Who was really on the other end of that CB? ...and if it is the Crazy Woman at the end, what's her angle? * Creature Comforts and breaking the 5th Wall (Bathroom Stall) on TV * Going through #DarylChillMitchell's gripes on #TalkingDead + hilarious lines * ...Is there even a benevolent Trucker Network?

This episode was live streamed SIMULTANEOUSLY through #Facebook & #YouTube.

This is the edited version of our #YouTube Live #podcast recorded on 8/18: https://youtu.be/2g_tNYnnkG4 #YouTubeLive * This episode of FearTWD is meant to setup the rest of the season: the 2nd act of this season's two-act play * Unlike most shows, FTWD is sensitive to the characters' damage (doesn't move on) * ALL ABOARD! #StevenOgg will be on the new #Snowpiercer series, accompanied by Carol's ire. * F*** horses. #Walker physics * Noting the continuation of the mini-scene intros * #MorganJones, packing for #AlexandriaSafeZone, is a birds-eye view of his life in both series, thus far. Timeline concerns. FearTWD also has a #WheresHeath or two * Our Podcast is therapeutic * #Althea meeting up with a community, like Alexandria, and meeting #EugenePorter * #AliciaClark & Morgan: They've lost people, but can Morgan reach her before she loses herself? * #LucianaGalvez's & #VictorStrand's lap of purgatory: struggling to embrace old habits while finding purpose * Morgan leaving isn't really about thanking #Ri

As you may have guessed from the title, we're talking about the upcoming Fear The Walking Dead mid-season 4 premier on Sunday, thoughts on The Walking Dead Season 9 (premiering October 7th), and all the news that dropped (and dedropped) between Episodes 23 and (today's [edited] LIVE episode) 24. ***Background intro music provided by GentleBruce (@user-425767516) * Baby Hershel & Season 1 horse * Between Yvette in a Hardwick place * The #LoveActually moment at #SDCC between #AndrewLincoln & #JeffreyDeanMorgan (Embrace of the #FearFamily) * #Zombiecaine / #Walkernado? #ZombieAbuse.

Anne/Jadis relationship with The Commonwealth * #CarolPeletier & #DarylDixon, also for the record: Deep Friendships vs Romantic Love * #NormanReedus will

We took another LONG break to not only break down the #FearTWDseason4 #MidSeasonFinale #FearTWDMidSeasonFinale, but cover some #TWD news and #TWDseason9 thoughts, as well. Oh and Carol has finally broken Dave out of an intro! * Not only questions answered, but resolving our emotional reservations towards #AliciaClark, #NickClark, #VictorStrand, and #LucianaGalvez * ...#SerenityNow #InsanityLater: Dave & Carol post apocalypse + #StevenOgg's #Instagram is #SkeletorIsLove * #MadisonClark's fateful encounter with #Althea: intentional confusion about when this occurs & the importance of setting/cinematography * ...Althea is a lot like #TWDJesus * Carol cannot comprehend the classic characters' anger, Dave explains * Althea's comic relief is #OnFleek (is that what the kids say?) * The importance of #MorganJones in this series: bringing back Alicia from the brink "I stepped aside for your brother. I will not step aside for you" * Explaining the distant past... * ...Madison at her worst: finding out that her

In case you missed it, Dave was interviewed by On the Side (OTS) Podcast (@user-835819392), which revolves around our side passions (Squawking Dead being the primary focus). Have a listen! https://soundcloud.com/user-835819392/ep-40-david-cameo * Dave & Carol have never butted heads like this: Loving/Hating The Clarks * #TheVultures weren't much of an enemy: there's gotta be a bigger story * All we are saying is give Strand a chance: After #AllOutWar, we finally understand him. Breaking down his character growth * I think the writers underestimated the impact of our new characters #JohnDorie, #Althea, and Naomi * Character background & development on #TWD vs #FearTWD. We wouldn't be able to appreciate the latter series as much without the former * Side Note: #JeffreyDeanMorgan & #NormanReedus are next-farm neighbors, with Norman talking his ear off. Maybe he'll finally get to do more of that on #TWDseason9 * WTF made #VictorStrand, #AliciaClark, and #LucianaGalvez Terminators? Sympathizing with Me

VERY long Episode 21, filled not only with observations on "Just in Case" but predictions for both #FearTWDseason4 & #TWDseason9! * #JohnDorie: go dark or hold back? ...why wasn't there a #TalkingDead poll? * Before & Now * Showdown at filling station: Cinematics & dissecting #TheVultures' behavior/possible end game * Until now, The Vultures haven't brandished a single weapon * Time-Jumping is only as effective as the story you are attempting to weave and #FearTWD is killing it * Naomi may serve as this season's spine: everything will be revolving around her. We praise her growth, but still question her motives * Carol's fear of contagion, Dave's fear of Mob Hysteria * Is Naomi a chameleon, like Charlie, and are The Vultures playing Three Dimensional chess with our group? * John Dorie the bad-ass, in that 1st scene, and how he's quickly becoming a #FTWD AND #TWD fan-favorite * What's #Althea's story? "It wouldn't be the first time" (video cassettes labeled "The Bog") * #FearTheWalkingDead's runnin

APOLOGIES for the wait, but you know what they say about Good Things, and this episode was definitely worth the two-and-a-half-year wait! Since there's no new episode airing on Memorial Day Weekend, we'll be recording and releasing Episode 21 soon after. * This episode squashed any doubts about #JohnDorie's character and how we can't recall anything close to a love story on #TheWalkingDead or #FearTheWalkingDead * This thoughtfully-written, carefully-shot, well-paced episode MAKES the loves story * The prescience of the (#AlGreen's) "Take Me to the River" singing-bass alarm clock * Comparing the way #MorganJones' & John Dorie's methods of isolation: they do it differently, but for similar reasons * The grass is greener on the other side, pun intended: The Clarks struggle for what John Dorie has, but John Dorie needs what The Clarks already have * John's circumstances have shielded him from the fall of man, which preserves his goodness, but is burdened by guilt * This episode completely validates our initi

BUCKLE UP for this slightly longer than usual Episode 19, where we not only discuss "Buried" but give you our thoughts on #TWDSeason9 and #TheWhispers * We're 40-going-on-14 * Using #Althea's lens (of truth) to catch us up & connections starting to form between past & present * For Carol, every water park is one of terrors * Colorscheme, in the past, becoming less "warm", while present is set at night (absence of color) * Loving the openers, in general, but VHS opener was clever (featuring #JeffGoldblum) * Refreshing #FearTWDseason4 with new characters doesn't detract from our series regulars * ...Dave finds #TWDFamily's lack of faith in #FearTheWalkingDead disturbing * ...The reason you watch #FTWD is because everyone else more caricature-like than The Clarks * #MrHyde, #MorganJones, mingling quite well with #FTWD, snookered into friendship with #DrJekyll, #JohnDorie * Laura's/Naomi's suspiciousness & possible psychopathy of John Dorie (Dave, still #TeamDorie) * ...turns out Dave was wrong about

With Carol’s "Response" we present,"Call & Response," covering "Another Day in the Diamond" & "Good Out Here" * Catching up is hard to do, for many reasons * Our regulars celebrate the 1st anniversary at The Diamond, but so time is unaccounted for * #LucianaGalvez is back? #NickClark ribs her for leaving * #AliciaClark's baseball grenades: weapon against #TheVultures? * The world has other plans for our self-sufficient Alexandria/The Prison * Enter Charlie & her least favorite food: swimming upstream sucks * 47 people saved: #MadisonClark cares about more than her own: How & What happened? * Awesome opening sequences, especially the music * Charlie's #RobertJohnson dilemma & #VictorStrand's concrete reminder * Nick's Agoraphobia/PTSD & our desire fully understand * The Vultures' suspicious timing: weevils destroy the crops * Enter Naomi, near-Exit Naomi! ...thanks salmon Madison! * Madison's strange #Walker foreshadowing * #TheLittlePrince Charlie * Why Madison swims upst

Took us a little while (thanks to #TWDxFearTWD)! We've changed the background music - hence the new interlude - as well as the colors of our episode logos to suit the series - Fear The Walking Dead! Is nothing's to good for our listeners * You've never watched Fear The Walking Dead, this is the perfect episode to start with * The difference in cinematic colors/tones and how they contrast to #TheWalkingDead * Morgan decides to leave #TWD "16-24 Weeks" after #Negan's defeat and #AllOutWar ends * Our first of two odd, out-of-place characters, #JohnDorie, is a lot like #MorganJones: isolated for an extended period * Platypus, Pasta, Potable...? P.P.P.? Heath?! * Along with living in a movie theater for a really long time, J.D. seems like he was a Rodeo Cowboy * Is the Laura J.D. looking for a mute? or just didn't speak much? * Just like TWD, FearTWD is finally introducing character personas: The Gunslinger, The Journalist, and... Karate Man? * This episode feels a lot like the a video game intro * Morgan ends up

#TWDseason8 FINALE! ALL remaining video podcasts should be uploaded to our #FacebookPage over the weekend (4/21)! We're working our TAIL-FEATHERS to record and edit the #FearTWD season premiere before the #FearTWDseason4's 2nd episode airs! * A taste, rather than teaser, for #TWDseason9: No hand-holding and definitely no cuddling * #RickGrimes is finally ready to hear about #CarlGrimes' last moments with #Siddiq. #RIPCarl * Why #Negan has to go (AKA, no more #TeamNegan) and we shouldn't need to worry about people when the world is full of #Walkers * #MorganJones, Rick, and even Negan and Why we need to hold onto the ideas of the people we've lost: a guide to not losing yourself * Negan's rapid downfall is directly due to him discarding his philosophy * Why is Henry dressed like Gavin? * Jerry & #KingEzekiel's dialog is everything. #GoodSpirits * Burning #AMC's swear-word allotment and how it creates more "creative" dialogue * Gregory mouse is locked in the house (at #TheHilltop): This episode was definite

Episodes 11 & 12 are NOW available for streaming on our #FacebookPage! Dave WILL be going to #SurvivalSunday #TWDxFearTWD! NYC! Head here to get event details! https://www.facebook.com/events/2062743047384151/ * Even after this episode, Carol is still #TeamNegan * Will #twdseason8 end in a satisfactory manner? * ...#TWD is trying to vilify #Negan: In a weird way, as brutal as he is, it exemplifies his ability to lead * Negan's MASTERFUL way of playing both #RIPSimon and Dwight (TWICE), while rallying #TheSaviors back into the fold * Negan made good with his promise to #Jadis. CONFIRMATION: Simon ended Oceanside. * Negan at his breaking point with #RickGrimes and the rest #TheHilltop and #TheKingdom * ...reacting out of anger: finally absconding with his "People are a resource" philosophy * The difference with the way #AllOutWar ends in the Comics #twdseason8 finale, based on #TheWalkingDead on #AMC's trajectory * Speaking of final altercations, will Jesus have a bigger role in Ep16? Finally? * Will the he

Episodes 9 & 10 are NOW available for streaming on our #FacebookPage! * #XanderBerkeley has a private #Instagram account... which he's now allowed us to follow. Dave is swooning * Carol has gone full #TeamNegan: Oddly, between he and #RickGrimes, he seems to be the more reasonable of the two * We're getting closer to finding out about our mystery helicopter, speculating about #Jadis' involvement and who controls it * The folks behind the helicopter may be the key to ending the A.H.K. vs #TheSaviors conflict * Deconstructing Jadis' possible dual origin. Possible government sleeper agent? Contacted/Recruited by Georgie? * The only thing we know, for sure, about Jadis: she's made contact with whomever controls the helicopter, but her Scavenger life had meaning to her * For the first time, instead of pinning his horrible actions on others, neurotically, #Negan not only apologizes for the act but assumes responsibility for Simon's actions, as a leader * Who Does Negan pick up on the way to #TheSanctuary? Sherr

UPDATE TO Episode 13 FIRST EVER UPDATE to a recent Episode of Squawking Dead, in Update 13.1 we mainly discuss the possibility of Negan (not murdered, but) possibly dying or ill (either mentally or physically), to the point where he feels he can no longer lead * Dave's insomnia-fueled and alarming call to Carol to discuss a solid theory in an attempt to resolve the #Negan dilemma * Negan can figure out and re-resource EVERYONE but doctors, but there may be an underlying reason for it * Why the #comics narrative may not work on the show: so many reasons why it would be deeply dissatisfying, given what we know about #TheSaviors * Why Negan is perfect for this new world: reins in his emotions, applies his philosophy, and channels it into saving people - but takes pleasure in problematic perks * Even though #RickGrimes and company can't defeat Negan, they have certainly proven themselves to be formidable foes of The Saviors * With none of The Saviors ever fully committing to Negan's philosophy, with his upper ech
