ZOMBPOCALYPSE NOW: On PREACHER, Things Start To Go SOUTH
With both Walking Dead series on their season and mid-season breaks, #TeamZombie continues its new Zombpocalypse Now podcast by turning the baleful eyes of Mr. Harvey and Mr. Adair onto AMC’s newest supernatural thriller: Preacher.
Season 1, Episode 5 “South Will Rise Again”
Written by: Craig Rosenberg
Directed by Michael Slovis
Timothy: Emily. Her name is Emily.
Dustin: Who?
Timothy: The Church Lady. The character whose name we can never remember? The actresses’ name is Lucy Griffiths, and the character’s name is Emily.
Dustin: Huh. OK. And the name of the actress who plays the summer camp lady?
Timothy: That’s Elizabeth Mitchell, but we’ll be talking about her and her new show Dead of Summer on a different episode.
Dustin: She’s the one you have a crush on, right?
Timothy: I have expressed that I think she is an excellent actress and a very attractive woman, if that’s what you mean.
Dustin: Mmm hmm. Suuuure.
Timothy: You do realize that people are reading this part, and so they can’t see you making possibly the world’s most exaggerated wink, right?
Dustin: But you can, Tim. You can.
Timothy: Shut up. Folks, we’re talking Preacher this week, like we do, and we’ll also have an extra episode too, where these two children of the 80’s will chat about the new Freeform series Dead of Summer. You can check out Allison Isberg’s review of the first episode here too. As always, we should probably warn you that Preacher, like the Walking Dead shows, is for mature audiences, and our Zombpocalypse Now podcasts may have some saltier language.
Dustin: I have been known to use the swearing when appropriate. Thanks for listening!
