The Last of Us: Episodes 7-8

Send us a text


Hey there lovely listeners! It's not Wine Wednesday, so think of
this as a Sunday surprise instead.  Candi and I are entering
the home stretch of our coverage of HBO's The Last of Us with our
discussion about episodes 7 and 8. 

We share our thoughts on getting more insight into Ellie's
backstory in episode 7 and the discovery that she has much more
in common with Joel than we understood.  We then move on to
episode 8 and the evil cult. We're always here for Ellie saving
herself, but we did think there was some room for improvement in
the writing for David.  It would've been nice to have a
little more of a reveal of him as a villain, rather than him
looking completely sketchy from the very first moment he
appears.  Candi had a few questions about Joel's miraculous
ability to rally from his injury.  Penicillin is great, but
there is usually a crash after that initial feeling of improved
health. 

As always, we talk about who was hustling backwards, the moment
that felt most like a video game, and we give out a yummy chicken
sandwich what we enjoyed most from the episodes.  For the
thirst segment, we were inspired by Riley and Ellie's first date
so we discuss what our perfect date during the apocalypse would
be.

Thanks so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we
know things, we use adult language, and we have a great
time.  Keep an eye on the feed for our close out discussion
of The Last of Us.  We will share our thoughts on the finale
and reflections on the first season as a whole.
