460: Ross Marquand (Aaron)
22/02/2022 Duration: 19minThis interview with the wonderful Ross Marquand (Aaron) happened all because of The Sexton Single Malt and their brand new Walking-Dead-branded bottle of single malt Irish whiskey, which Ross is helping them promote and which you can pre-order right here: https://www.reservebar.com/products/the-sexton-single-malt-x-the-walking-dead-limited-edition Highly recommend checking that out! As always, it was awesome to talk with Ross. It was a quick interview, but we managed to cover some interesting topics like: What current-day Aaron would say to early Aaron. What it was like to film the intense late-season-10 episode “One More” with Gabriel and Mays (Robert Patrick). Whether he asked Angela Kang to change or add anything for Aaron. Whether his prosthetic arm comes off and on easily or needs to stay on all day during filming? How he’s feeling now the the end of The Walking Dead is in sight, and how he thinks he’s going to feel at the very end. And more! Support the show: patreon.com/jasoncabassi or buymeacoffee.

444: Paola Lázaro (Princess)
26/09/2021 Duration: 34minIt was a thrill to talk with Paola Lázaro about playing our favorite new Walking Dead character, Princess! She was even cooler than we thought she’d be (and we thought she’d be really cool). We covered a lot, including: What she loves about playing Princess. How she approached the character when she started. How she’s similar to Princess. What it was like to film her season 10C episode. Her thoughts on Andrew Lincoln. How she got Josh McDermitt to break character during a scene. How she feels about the fans. How she handles criticism. How she handles having ADHD. Her thoughts on Mercer and the actor who plays him, Michael James Shaw. Which WD character she would most like to play a scene with or write a scene for. What it’s like to come into the show near the end.. Whether she thinks the ZA has benefitted Princess. Whether she has improvised any of Princess’ lines. How well she thinks Princess would get along with Michonne. Whether she’s talked with Robert Kirkman. And more. Enjoy! Support: patreon.com/jas

117: Angela Kang
25/10/2013 Duration: 33minSuch a pleasure to talk with Angela Kang, writer of last Sunday's excellently horrific episode, "Infected." She was gracious, open, and lots of fun.
