More Episodes

With the news that PlayStation's "The Last of Us" is getting a full series order over at HBO, it's time to dive back into discussing the game on this podcast for the first time since Episode 1!

I'm joined by the first episode's co-host Chad Hopkins of The Cinescope Podcast, and we are joined QUITE excitedly by the brilliant Melissa Anelli of Mischief Management, the team behind BroadwayCon, Con of Thrones and of course, LeakyCon! In addition to sharing our love for a certain boy wizard, Melissa and I go way back (to LeakyMug #1, 2005) and she's also a big TLOU fan!

TOPICS include a whole hour dedicated to fan casting (that is, choosing our favorite actors or even voice-actors for the iconic character roles) on the back half of the episode, but first:

— What are we looking for in a TLOU adaptation?
— How will it open, and will there be flashbacks or Fireflies right from the start?
— What timespan will a season encompass?
— Will the TV series allude to the COVID pandemic?
— Is it possible that the TV show could be bad, and how?

It's speculation fueled by the little details that we do have from creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, and it certainly lends itself to good discussion. Grab your crafting items and join us on our journey as we get giddy with excitement over what is sure to be a great upcoming show.
