Happy Zombiedays and merry Christmas Princeā¦..3! We called it in our last commentary and the Royal Baby is here! iZombie has been over for several months now, but a promise is a promise, and you have a Royal Baby drinking commentary to celebrate the holidays with! Thank you to the three people left that are still subscribed!
Until we find another reason to come back and chat, (Royal Marriage Counseling?), we bid you adieu!
This is it. The last one. And who better to talk to than the showrunner himself? Rob Thomas! We talk about the finale, listener questions and also some longrunning theories that I’ve had. Some got shot down, but one actually became CANON! Whaaaaaaaaa! *endzone dance*
Thank you so much for your support. We could not have done this for so long without our listeners.
Veronica Mars spoilerphobes: we talk mainly about iZombie, but the limited Veronica talk we do have doesn’t spoil a thing.
Executive producer Diane Ruggiero-Wright returns to the podcast to talk about the penultimate episode of iZombie, which gives us a heist thriller, some tears, some scares and so many laughs. Diane explains how this episode was originally feature-length in her mind and spills some of the different ideas she had before it was condensed into the great episode it is now!
We welcomeĀ John Emmet Tracy, aka Enzo Lambert, about his evolution from the man with the funny accent, to someone not to be underestimated! What drives Enzo? How much was he moved by Brother Love? What drew him to Martin? Is Enzo the Big Bad now and how close are we to figuring out what happens in the end? Your questions are answered as we try our best not to beg him to reveal what happens in the final two episodes!
We’re back to talk “Killer Queen”, which was fun, thrilling, made us feel the feels and also educated us! Liv and Clive investigate the murder of a drag queen, Ravi and Major rescue some kids, and Martin gets wishy-washy about putting his plan in motion. Et tu, Enzo?
Speaking of Enzo, watch this feed for a bonus interview with John Emmet Stacy!
Bob Dearden returns for one last victory lap as we talk about his episode “Night and the Zombie City”! There’s a million podcasts in the iZombie city, but in this epic-length one, we talk about what helped inspire the dialogue, how this is technically a bottle episode, the huge fight, and, of course, how supremely talented Rose McIver is.
We want to thank Bob so much for the many times that he’s talked about iZombie with us and we wish him so much success in his future!
We welcomeĀ Carrie Anne Fleming aka Candy Baker, everyone’s favorite trivia genie/cosmetologist/madame, who recently headed out of New Seattle for a new life without Blaine and Don E. Carrie Anne shares many stories from the set as we go through Candy’s journey from the stage of a cop bar to the back of a motorcycle. All from the deck of her sailboat!
The 90s return this week and Liv tries to solve the case of a Drop Dead Gorgeous teenager but is Clueless about her father’s manipulations. Also, Ravi and Peyton are hot on the trail of tainted utopium and the father of all zombie kind. Meanwhile, Dolly sings a song of sixpence at the Seattle Pie-esta.
As we learn more about Liv’s father, we get some questions finally answered with an iZombie flashback or two! Meanwhile, Liv and Ravi compete over raffle tickets, Hi Zombie premieres, Don E falls in love, Martin plots the downfall of humanity and Robin’s theories come true as this season takes the first steps in wrapping up the series. Doesn’t it feel like Season 5 just Blue Bayou?
Happy Father’s Day everyone! Liv finally reunites with her mother this week, and also her long lost father! And surprise! It’s Chromedome! Whaaaaaa?? Also, we have Ravi reffing some twin-fighting, Major ringing that Bell, Clive’s life getting pucked up, silent boyfriends, solid coffee tips and mayonnaise mystery sauce! Brain appetit!
Another top notch Season 5 episode takes the show and puts Blaine and Don E in the driver’s seat for once, and we are here to discuss it. Malcolm Goodwin knocked it out of the park in his iZOMBiE directorial debut, as the episode focused more on Blaine’s hustle and Don E’s angst and less about the case of the week. Plus, we theorize about such dangling threads such as Beanpole Bob and the Girl with the 8-Ball Tattoo…
Bob Dearden, the righteous dude that wrote this week’s episode, drops by the podcast to earn the pants that come with his Five-Timers jacket. We talk about the plight of Cameron Frye, the clock running out on Blaine, Enzo’s motives, homages to episodes past and even an Easter egg that Bob didn’t know about! He also says for the record that a) Clive actually is Batman and b) that’s not the regenerated corpse of Vaughn DuClark at the end of the episode! The question isnāt what are we going to talk about. The question is what arenāt we going to talk about.
Time to think deeply about this week’s episode, where we talk nootropics, attraction indexes, future crimes, chrome-domed Honchos, and trouble for Blaine.
Bonus: Natalie Farrow stops by to talk about her return to iZombie, witnessing the big fight, and hope for the Max Rager zombies!
We are so happy to welcome executive producer and writer of “Five, Six, Seven, Ate!” Diane Ruggiero-Wright to the podcast! We talk about what inspired her to create the co-dependent dancer brain, as well as rave about Viet Nguyen’s direction and the talents of her amazing cast. Plus, we talk new headcanon, the most perfect moment of this episode, women supporting women, what batucadas is/are, and Robin learns how dance competitions work. Also, we may have gotten a pretty great spoiler out of her…
No empty calories in this podcast! Join us as we discuss cold war between the CHICS and the Seattle Justice League as we lose a couple of friends along the way. Meanwhile, there’s kegels, trout butter, and corn syrup to keep us entertained and there’s going to be a Zombie sitcom?? Sign us up!
We’re back! Liv isn’t seeing visions this week, but Ravi is ready to hand out some beatings! A case without a body has us suspicious, as we reassess the new roles of our main characters in New Seattle.
I welcome Aaron Craven to the podcast to talk about his role in Season 5, CDC Dr Saxon. We talk a bit about what it was like filming in the final season of our favorite show, and I get schooled on the location of the CDC! We discuss Saxon’s first name, hint at what’s ahead and also chat about the many shows and movies he’s been a part of! Oh there are tangents…
Crybaby Carl is here! Nemo Cartwright chats about his tough henchman character, working with David Anders and Bryce Hodgson, Carl’s glandular problem, some classic Crybaby moments from Season 4, and of course, the literal face-off with Thumbbreaker Ravi!
Our iZombie coverage continues with another bonus interview coming tomorrow! And finally, after that, we will give you our thoughts on the Season 5 premiere “Thug Death“!
iZombie writer Bob Dearden returns to pick up his gold jacket, resolve some lingering questions from Season 4 and help us properly tease THE FINAL SEASON! But first, Robin tells Steph about some semi-spoilery news items he’s been reading online…
Season 5 premieres May 2nd at 8PM! Make sure to watch it live, and tell your friends to watch. If you tweet, set out a couple tweets while you watch and hashtag it “#iZOMBiE”!
Dahlia Schweitzer, author of “Going Viral: Zombies, Viruses, and the End of the World”, and now “L.A. Private Eyes” returns to discuss her new book about private detectives, which includes a section on Veronica Mars! We talk about the series as a whole and what we look forward to seeing in the Hulu revival.

Our Veronica Mars bingewatch begins! For the next few weeks, we will be crossing over with our bingecast We Don’t Wanna Wait to discuss Rob Thomas’s cult hit which is coming back to Hulu in 2019.
This week, we discuss Season 1’s “Pilot” and “Credit Where Credit’s Due”. This is a rewatch for us, but we will strive to remain spoiler-free for new marshmallows.
Happy Zombiedays and merry Christmas Prince…..2! The wine is chilled and the lightweights have returned to drink our way through another Netflix Christmas film starring our friend Rose!
So grab your drink of choice, cue up “A Christmas Prince 2: Royal Wedding” on Netflix and come hang out at our holiday party with us! We’ll be back for our Veronica Mars bingewatch!
And eventually….Christmas Prince 3: Royal Baby, right?
If you wanted to hear Robin blather on to Steph about his vacation, you’ve come to the right spot! No, seriously though, Robin traveled from Vermont to Vancouver so he could see some familiar iZombie sites. While there, he got a tour of all the sets and made some new friends!
This is just like when your friends sat you down to watch a slideshow of their vacation, took way too long to talk about it, but in audio format! If you want to follow along with the photos, click on this link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1DLj19k9Bt2NzFuu8
Many thanks to Hayley Matches for the tour, the iZombie production team for letting me visit during their work day, as well as Rahul Kohli, Malcolm Goodwin, Rose McIver and Chelsea Catalanotto for chatting with me! Best vacation ever!
One more bonus episode for you all. It’s our annual music episode! Take a listen as I walk you through some of our favorite songs from Season 4! Stay subscribed for our Veronica Mars rewatch, maybe another bonus episode and, of course, our coverage of the final season of iZOMBiE!
Stephanie travels to DragonCon again this year, but this time Robin met her there! However, because of scheduling, Robin wasn’t able to join her at the iZombie fan panel this year. So, today, after a brief update from Robin, we have a recording of that panel which discusses Season 4 with Steph and panelists Kevin Bachelder, authors David Boop, Samantha Sommersby, EJ Stevens and Damien Allen, as well as moderator Carol Malcolm.
The season finale is here and we may still be wiping away our tears. Yes, there are tears over tough decisions and the death of a “Good Man”, but there are also happy tears as our hearts overflow with happiness toward the end of the episode, even if some of it is bittersweet. “Isnāt that just like her?” *sniff!*
We also go through all the feedback you’ve sent us! And there’s a bunch!
Thank you so much for listening to our podcast this season! There will be a Season 4 music podcast coming soon, and maybe even some bonus podcasts as we stick out the long wait to Season 5 together. Stay subscribed!
We would also like to thank the people behind our favorite show and specifically those who have supported us this season: Bob Dearden, Graham Norris, Sara Saedi, Chelsea Catalanotto, John Bellina and Rahul Kohli. Oh, and obviously The CW for giving us a Season 5!
Finally, if you miss us over the hiatus, check out our podcast “We Don’t Wanna Wait“. It’s a podcast where we binge tv shows. We are currently binging Smallville, but, if you’re not into that, we have other shows in our catalog like Dawson’s Creek, Hellcats, 13 Reasons Why and My So-Called Life. Also, we will be binging some newer streaming shows when we finish Smallville in July. Hope to hear from you there!
It’s the big setup for the season finale as Major nicely kidnaps Liv to Oregon, and Ravi gets glammed up to help Clive with murder-solving time. Meanwhile, Clive makes a big decision in the romance department and Blaine manufactures a miracle to help with his Lex Luthor plan.
What an emotional rollercoaster. Even before the episode aired, we were on the bubble of cancellation and then we get renewed for Season 5! And today it was learned that Season 5 will be the final season…But tonight, we collect ourselves to discuss an episode that is filled with so much sadness and dread. Tucker eats his best friend! Crybaby Carl put on ice! Bozzineaux no more! Captain Seattle dead! And, of course, the loss of the wonderful Isobel! What’s worse is that Robin is completely dense and makes several mistakes, which Steph barely puts up with.
Chelsea Catalanotto makes her very first podcast appearance to talk about the very first episode of iZombie that she has written: “Yipee-Ki-Brain, Motherscratcher!” Chelsea talks about her love of Die Hard, the kindness of Enrico Colantoni, leaning against the fourth wall, creating fun scene transitions and montages, and also how unfairly Chewie and R2D2 were treated at the medal ceremony in “Star Wars”.
Also, if you’re reading this on the website, check out the massive pizza she got for her screening party! Cowabunga!
Our podcast for “Insane in the Germ Brain” will be out by Friday!
Welcome to the party, pal! Liv is on vice cop brain this week, which brings all sorts of action cop movie references. We also talk about our fondness for Isobel, how hilarious Clive is, whether Major is right and of course Dad Ravi.
And please, if you are on Twitter, make sure to let @TheCW know that they should #RenewiZOMBiE! The show has gone to a higher level and we want to see it continue for a Season 5! Let them know how much you love it! Imagine a world with no Liv, Ravi, Clive, Major, Peyton and Blaine… *shudder*
We’re back once again to pick up the thread, ready to talk iZombie like we’re already dead. I mean, Liv throws some beef, Michelle is a thief and Madame Acting Mayor Peyton can’t get no relief. Zombie Killer Cain is here to bring the pain and the whole world is gonna go Zombie By Blaine. Insane! And we out…

Robin and Steph are reunited to talk about flowery language, meals on wheels and the mystery that is Isobel. Apologies for the lateness! We shall be on time next week. It is our most solemn vow.
And please, if you are on Twitter, make sure to let @TheCW know that they should #RenewiZOMBiE! The show has gone to a higher level and we want to see it continue for a Season 5! Let them know how much you love it! Imagine a world with no Liv, Ravi, Clive, Major, Peyton and Blaine… *shudder*
Steph is stuck at work this week, so who better to fill in for her than the writer of “Don’t Hate the Player, Don’t Hate the Brain” Sara Saedi! We chat about the womanizing brain the Liv rolls on, as well as some great Clive moments and what Major might be up to.

Graham Norris gives us the scoop on what went into creating “My Really Fair Lady”: from names like Ajax and Suki to who showed him how to write funny musical numbers. Also, we hear what was cut out of the episode and who makes his iZOMBiE Recurring Characters Final Four. Also, does Blaine really have a Scrooge McDuck room?

We’re back with a very dramatic episode of iZombie as Liv eats Rachel Bloom’s brains to help assume the role of Renegade. Meanwhile, Ravi helps Peyton with a lost dog in a very familiar circumstance. Finally, Blaine learns how to be more charitable.

Bob Dearden returns to talk about his episode “Goon Struck”! So much to dig into, including a hilarious hockey goon brain, Liv vs Blaine, new characters Levon and Sloane, how much fun Clive and Ravi have, Major and Chase’s tough choices, and the death of a much-loved character!
We had some more audio issues with the live show, so I apologize in advance and will refund you all in full! š

Kissy kissy! Romantic brain comes to a close as pro wrestler brain enters the ring! The case wraps up a little too easily, but who cares? Can we just spend the rest of our lives in that dance-off? #squadgoals
Liv becomes a snobby but fiesty old bird, Major has to pick a side while Clive has to ask the advice of an absolutely delighted Ravi. It’s time to talk about “Blue Bloody”! Seriously though, can someone please explain “The Loni Anderson” to us?
Here’s a fun discussion I had with Dahlia Schweitzer, author of “Going Viral: Zombies, Viruses, and the End of the World”. We talk about her book and how iZombie is so impressive with what it does with zombie genre tropes, especially in this new season.
iZOMBiE has returned again with a whole new box of toys to play with! We still have some zom-com-rom-dram, we still have our murder to solve, but we are playing by a whole new set of rules now that New Seattle is walled off and the world knows all about zombies. Fillmore-Graves is in charge with Major as a teen counselor/child soldier recruiter, Seattle PD detectives each get their own zombie so Liv and Clive aren’t such a unique pair anymore, Ravi has changed due to the proto-vaccine he took, Peyton has exited the love triangle and is working for Baracus, Blaine is still running his games and Angus comes back from hell. Or well. Hell is a well, right? Join us as we discuss the episode in detail before we get to all of your feedback! Ciao! (Chow!)
Season 4 is premiering MONDAY FEBRUARY 26 at 9PM! Make sure to watch it live, and tell your friends to watch. If you tweet, set out a couple tweets while you watch and hashtag it “#iZOMBiE”!
But before Monday, we have a bonus pregame tailgate party for the season premiere “Are You Ready For Some Zombies?”. First, I will give you all the latest news and then I get into a chat with a three-time friend-of-the-pod and iZombie writer Bob Dearden! (I may have to make him his own jacket if he makes it to the Five Timers Club!)
I talk with him a bit about some of the questions I still have from Season 3 before we get into a semi-spoilery chat about Season 4! This is a fun chat that I hope you all enjoy. The audio is a bit spotty in parts, I do apologize. Blaine may be Liv’s nemesis, but Skype will always be ours!
Thanks for listening! We truly appreciate your support and kind words!
Season 4 is premiering MONDAY FEBRUARY 26 and we’re back before the premiere to give you all your iZombie news and teases for the story ahead! Let everyone know when iZombie is back! For those who aren’t already on Team Z, this would be a great jumping-on point for them! Well be back with one more bonus episode before the season begins!
As we wait for word of when Season 4 will be back, here’s another bonus episode that we pulled together during the holidays. There were many great needledrops during Season 3 so enjoy this musical walk back through it. And we will be back as soon as we have a premiere date to talk about! Stay tuned, Team Z!
Happy Zombiedays and merry Christmas Prince! We have returned after a six month hiatus to bring you a special extra-tipsy commentary for the Netflix movie starring the talented Rose McIver: “A CHRISTMAS PRINCE”!
Listen to two lightweights guzzle down wine as we watch this cute holiday movie where an aspiring American journalist sneaks into a fantasy kingdom and into the heart of an arrogant prince who just CAN wait to be king. We talk Christmas movies, fashion, Netflix tweets, Robin randomly breaks into song, Steph randomly bangs her wine glass into the microphone, it’s holiday fun that was totally worth the hangover the next morning.
So pour yourself a glass, cue up “A Christmas Prince” on Netflix and come chill with us!
Well, the show has exploded into new and interesting directions making iZombieĀ into a whole new world to explore in Season 4! But, before that, we join forces in a sign of human/zombie friendship with teenage zombies Ava Frye (Tatum Weckler) and Anisha Cheema (Patrice Gold) to break down the biggest season finale yet! After that, we take a peek at some of the info Rob Thomas revealed in his interviews this week. Then we answer all your feedback in our final podcast of the season!
Thank you Ava and Anisha for hanging out with us! Thank you to the cast and crew of iZombie for producing gold with every episode and supporting our podcast! And thank YOU to the fans of iZombie for listening every week!
Honorary Ninja Robin welcomes to the podcast VIET NGUYEN, director of the episodes “Abra Cadaver”, “Wag The Tongue Slowly”, and “Return of the Dead Guy”!
We discuss editing and directing for iZombie, being a student of Rob Thomas, lots of stories from the iZombie set, as well his other projects like Play It Again, Dick and Crush the Skull!
Thanks so much for dropping by the podcast again, Viet!
Cheyenne joins us again as we discuss this, dare I say, EXPLOSIVE episode! This first half of the finale brought a brain with some hilarious visions and controversial choices, a case that led to some interesting connections, and a farewell party that caused quite a bit of heartache. Also, Robin eats some conspiracy brains and tries to figure out the endgame…
Robin and Steph welcome back BOB DEARDEN, writer of this week’s episode “Conspiracy Weary”!
We talk about “the Game of Thrones of CW” in depth as we dig into Ravi’s redemption, feeling sympathy for Harley, Shauna and Rachel, understanding Major, the greatness of Jason Dohring, the new additions to the writers room in Season 4, more musical talk, and a fun lightning round of questions. Also, we have some requests…
Thanks so much for dropping by the podcast again, Bob!
This week, we dig into this crazy episode, where zombies have three-way visions, new love interests have ulterior motives and almost every plot seems to be coming to a head as we get ready for a 2-part finale. And there are still so many questions! Most importantly, is Discovery Day here? And if so, will anything be the same after this?
We are happy to be joined this week by Anisha Cheema, who played the suspicious Patrice, friend of Tatum Weckler! She tells us about acting in Vancouver and getting to play a part on iZombie!! She also joins us to discuss this crazy eventful episode where Ravi goes deep undercover, Blaine get Mr Boss under his thumb, Liv sees a ghost, Peyton and Clive bond, Major builds a fort and two teenage girls totally surprise us!
What say you, fellowship of podcast listeners? Do you dare quest into the discussion of this hilarious episode? Roll for strength, stamina and damage before you hit play! Our friend Will joins us to help us find the lich!! WHERE IS THE LICH?!
Robin chats with JOHN BELLINA, writer of this week’s episode “Eat a Knievel”!
We talk about what it was like to go from writer’s assistant to writing his first episode, the greatness of puns, Jackass, Evil Blaine, Chase Graves and Steph.
Sup gnarly bros and babes! We’re back to talk cattle prods, red staplers and righteous balltagging! We might have cursed a few times describing how much we hate the murder victim. Sorry kids. We also wonder a bit about who lives, who dies and how happy we are to have Evil Blaine back!
Get your sock puppets out, it’s time to take a dirt nap! But first, let’s talk about the hilarious pre-K teacher brain, how much we love Justin, what the heck is going on between Liv and Major, who really killed Sweet Lady Pain and the many different people who could have stolen the doses of the cure! Followed by a MEGA feedback section and topped off with some big spoilers for those who dare…
You each get a star sticker for listening, a heart sticker for subscribing and a smiley face sticker for nearly doubling our subscriber total since the beginning of Season 3! Thank you for making us a part of your iZombie fandom! You’re all superstars!
iZombie has been renewed for Season 4! Major is going to live! Blaine has been faking! Paine has sunk! And that blue juice is looking like it’s going to play a bigger role! All this on top of Liv eating a hilarious brain that causes drama for all! Oh yeah, SEASON 4, BABY!
Robin chats with SARA SAEDI, writer of this week’s episode “Spanking the Zombie”!
We talk about the writingĀ and filming of the last couple of crazy emotional scenes, the blue juice, the various recurring characters, how far they pushed the dominatrix brain, the deleted scenes, and even some teases of what’s ahead!
Make sure to visit Sara’s website here and pick up a copy of her book “Never Ever” here!
iZombie just keeps topping itself! Another jampacked episode with Liv’s shenanigans as a no-nonsense dominatrix, so many returning characters, the grand opening of The Scratching Post, the impending danger of Harley Johns, and finally, an ending that brought us to our knees! Kevin Bachelder (Tuning Into SciFi TV, Tales of the Black Badge) joins us.
Hear us now, oh thou bleak and unbearable world! Robin and Steph talk about the Yogurtopium murder mystery, Gossip Girl Liv, Major tilting at windmills and, of course, Blayton…
And so much feedback! Thanks for listening and interacting with the podcast!
Robin and Steph do some tai chi over some chai tea as they meditate on “Eat Pray Liv”! DidĀ Ravi show complete mindfulness withĀ some of the decisions he made this week? Does Liv have a new dancing buddy? Is Major going to lose his mind? What right does Blaine have to his new life? And seriously, what’s with all the drink errors this week? All this and more discussed on the podcast!
Also, we have a bonus episode coming this weekend as Robin has a discussion with the writer of this week’s episode: Graham Norris! Stay subscribed!
Robin and Steph are joined by Cheyenne (iZombieLove) to talk about an episode that will leave you in tears! Tears from how much Robert Buckley and Rose McIver made us laugh! And tears from how much Malcolm Goodwin made us cry! This was a nice long discussion and we hope you enjoy it! Season 3 is LITERALLY the best season EVER!
Robin and Steph are back and moved into their new offices on Fillmore-Graves campus. Lots of sunshine and marching, but their wifi leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily, they cobble together a Frankenteen of an episode to talk our new ally/enemy Vivian, the upcoming zombie war, Zombie Island, Blaine’s believability, where we fall on the love triangle and, of course, a couple of badly acted skits. SEASON THREE!!!
We are back with one more bonus episode this week before Season 3 starts!
We talked about the music of Season 1 in a previous bonus episode already. But Season 2 has music that spans many different tastes. Rock, pop, country, techno, 60s, 70s, 80s, hiphop, classical, Broadway, and of course Rob Thomas! (I mean, there’s something so compelling about the stuff he writes.) There are about 35 different selections to chat about, so we hope you enjoy!
It’s the final rewatch! You know what that means! SEASON THREE STARTS NEXT WEEK! April 4th to be exact so make sure you tune in!
In the meantime, Kevin Bachelder (Tuning Into SciFi TV, Tales of the Black Badge) joins us to talk about the last three episodes of Season Two: Reflections of the Way Liv Used To Be, Dead Beat and Salivation Army!

Robin talks to iZombie writer BOB DEARDEN about his episodes Reflections of the Way Liv Used To Be, Love & Basketball, and Maternity Liv! We talk all about his job as a writer and how the writers room puts together a season! We even get some time to talk about the webseries Play It Again Dick! #playitagainagaindick
(And I even get a quick lesson in why it’s probably a good idea to check my sources right at the top of the show!)
Robin and Steph reflect on this week’s episode with iZombie fan Heidi! We marvel at Major and Ravi’s terrible plan, gasp at the evil Bizarro Keith Mars, catch some whispered revelations at Max Rager and get our minds blown by the connection between Liv, Blaine, and the case of the week. Or maybe you guys are smarter than us.
Stay tuned to the feed. We have an upcoming interview with writer Bob Dearden before we cover the feature-length season 2 finale!
Robin and Steph finally hit the pole to entertain you as we discuss the stripper-centric episode of iZombie! Will the VIP Room bring Liv and Payton closer together? Will an opened safe pull Ravi and Major farther apart? And what the heck is going on with Blaine? We take our interviewer caps off and put our tinfoil hats back on for some end-of-season theorizing!
Special thanks to all the iTunes reviewers this past week! You guys are the best!
We’ve got not one but TWO interviews after the events of this week’s episode “He Blinded Me…With Science”!
First up, LEANNE LAPP drops by to talk about Gilda/Rita, who started as a one-off “girl in a green dress” last season and soon became the ice-cold devil’s daughter that we all love. She sure had a rough couple of weeks, too!
Next, executive producer DAN ETHERIDGE chats about what goes down on the production side in Vancouver, some of his previous work in Veronica Mars and Party Down, and of course, we break down some of the big scenes of this week’s episode that he directed!
My sincere thanks go out to Leanne and Dan who took the time to chat with me!
Steph and Robin get their lab notes together to chat about this week’s episode. Blaine gets morality when faced with mortality! Major takes out his competition! Clive and Bozzio sort out their brains! Ravi confesses his Boba Fett deathwish! Liv dresses up like a famous New Zealand actress! And Rita discovers how truly loathsome her father really is.
STAY TUNED to our feed this week! We’ve got some more bonus content headed your way!
COMMENTARY! It’s our very first commentary episode and there is a LOT to celebrate! First off, we have a season three! Woohoo! Secondly, it has been exactly one year since the pilot for iZombie aired so technically we have a birthday to celebrate, too! And who better to celebrate with than iZombie Podcast Bucket List Guest, co-creator and executive producer of iZombie: Diane Ruggiero-Wright!
So get your copy of the pilot queued up and get ready as we chat about the very first episode of iZombie! This was so much fun to do and we hope that you all enjoy listening.
And so many thanks go out to Diane for joining us and also to Master of Punny Chapter Titles, John Bellina, for setting this up!
MAJOR INTERVIEW! What else is there to say but ROBERT BUCKLEY is here! Rob takes some time from a very busy finale week to chat all things Major – the Meat Cute Massacre, Chao$ Killer, Rajor, and even some Minor talk. He also reveals a secret talent he’s had since middle school, and drops a few clues about the finale. Der Kommissar’s in town, everybody!
We probably should have poured a cup of liquid sunshine before this one because we’re a bit groggy! But we’ve got positivity by the potful for this latest episode! We discuss how wrong we wereĀ about Drake, the twin smiles of Blaine and the punch heard ’round the world! Also, some transgressive beats are dropped for y’all.
ROB THOMAS is our guest! He chats with Robin for an hour about all things iZombie! We talk about The Whopper and what’s to come for the rest of the season!
We’d like to thank Rob again for chatting with us! What a fun conversation!
We won’t lie to you! We spent a good amount of time trying to fitĀ together all the pieces that eventually led to the Artificial Leg of Hope. But it’s a fun puzzle to solve, and Rob Thomas delivered us a Whopper of an episode! But we also have a great time discussing the lies that our favorite characters exchange, how dangerous yet hilarious Blaine is, how close to the truth Clive is, all the wacky big fish stories that Liv tells, how much we do not trust Drake at all, and how amazing the last few minutes were! This would have been a great finale, but admittedly, we are Les Miserables now that we have six more episodes!
Steph and Robin are on their own this week, but before we get into it, we have some hot off the presses news about the season finale!
Yaaaas! TBH, thisĀ episode was on fleekĀ but OMG Skype! We can’t even! The struggle is real! We would have totes swiped left since this Skype connection had a Tinder bio that said “Likes to make Steph sound like she’s treading water, enjoys putting Robin on a delay!” #editingtakesforever #firstworldproblems #sorrynotsorry
We eventually unboxed the episode, put our perf duckfaces on, checked our windswept bangs and talked about how it wasĀ like a hundo p. If you share this, make sure you tag us. And don’t forget to follow Steph on Snapchat.
We talk with special guest and frequent feedbacker Jenn about the latest superhot episode! Do we approve of these new hookups? Do we trust Drake? Did Minor break our hearts? How awesome is Bozzineaux? Is Peyton………infected?
In addition, Robin talks about the cool new Liv Moore action figure from Diamond Select Toys! Please check out Diamond Select Toys to purchase your own Liv and more toys based on your favorite characters!
But we have a great midseason episode of iZombie to discuss! Imagine a tv show starring zombies! No, it’s not that dumb, it’s Zombie High, a place where Liv and the gang can be hilariously self-referential. We talk about it at the craft service table with superguest Kevin Bachelder from Tuning In To SciFi TV and Arrow Squad!
Season’s Brain-eatings, Team Z! Robin and Steph close out 2015 with their discussion of the mid-season finale: Cape Town! Hunter Camp from Arrow TV TalkĀ shows up to give his superhero insight on Liv’s first foray into delivering street justice! We mourn both the breakup of Liv and Clive as well as Liv and Major! Is all hope lost? We head into our holiday break cheered up by the great feedback we got, as well as the promise of more iZombie in just a few weeks!
We stayed up late after iZombie aired to record immediately due to plans later in the week. Luckily we have Kevin Bachelder from Tuning In To SciFi TV and Arrow Squad to keep us on track! We have another great episode to talk about with Liv getting closer to finding out Major’s secrets and Ravi delighting in finding out some of Clive’s. Valar Morghulis!
Hocus pocus! We’re here to talk about a magical episode of iZombie, where the greatest trick is murder! We talk about this case-heavy installment as well as all the ‘ships that rose or sank this week, including Ravi and the charming and not-at-all crazy Steph!
Steph herself, Debs Howard, actually joins us at the top of the podcast to talk about her time on iZombie and some behind-the-scenes antics! She was super nice and we hope you all enjoy the interview. #cucumber #BringBackSteph
Well it looks like iZombie finally gave away the secret of how we record every podcast over Skype. So thanks for that, show. But besides that bit of awkwardness, Mallika joins us again to talk about “Max Wager”!
No matter how many times Robin insists like a dum-dum that this is the fifth episode, this SIXTH episode of the season really gets in deep on Liv and Major. What they can and can’t do is discussed in hushed embarrassed tones. We also talk about Blaine’s plans, both cold and tragic, as well as what exactly Major is doing with those mannequins. And you know what? Nothing’s gonna stop us now.
The opening song is brought to us by the amazing iZombie cast’s vocal talents and our prayers for a musical episode.
What an episode! We welcome back iZombieObsessed‘s Kirsten Moodie to run the play-by-play for “Love & Basketball”!
Liv and Major finally get to face-off but will it land them in the penalty box with Gilda/Rita? Ravi and Blaine prove that Boys Don’t Cry especially when wrestling over The Cure. Meanwhile, Clive lays a beatdown on the worst person ever, gets benched with Bozzio, and gets to pick Suzuki’s brain! And that isn’t even half of it! Go Team Z! Hut hut hut!
Lots of pickin’ and grinnin’ in this one! Robin, Steph and guest host Will Johnson talk ratings, tease the iZombie Christmas episode and fry up some brain fritters before they talk about the country-fried episode “Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blues”.
There is so much to unpack! We’ve got Peyton’s lovely return, Ravi’s sexual experiments, Major’s epic downfall, Blaine’s wild charisma, Clive’s new ladyfriend, and Liv coming to terms with the past year. And let’s not forget that there’s a murder to solve! We also read your feedback, including awesome iTunes reviews, your thoughts on the episode and an entry into the Corrections Department. Probably not the last either!
Sorry Beyonce! We’ll just wait for you to pull the car around. This is more of a sitting podcast. Join Robin, Steph and guest host Moira Browne as they sip some Pinot, eat salted chocolateĀ and work on theirĀ carpel tunnel as theyĀ dishĀ about “Real Dead Housewife of Seattle”.
We first confess how unfamiliar we are with “Bravolebrities” before discussing how much it doesn’t matter when we have yet another amazing performance by our favorite zombie girl! Charlkrabarti is discussed, and also how much of a threat that co-host Steph is to that ship. Vaughn keeps it cool while daughter Gilda turns up the heat on a Major downward spiral! Robin makes some shocking predictions. We discuss the awful word “skanks”. Another important topic is Clive’s arms.
Wassup brosephs! We’re back with a fantabulous new episode with our Bro of Honor iZombieNation‘s S.J. Allan to just, like, come chillax with us, shotgun a few brews and talk about “Zombie Bro”.
The vibes are harsh when a frat brother goes down in the most heinous of party fouls and Liv has to snack down to solve the case. Meanwhile, Blaine is, like, running the most excellent game of mental beer pong and we meet his dad, who is this, like, total dick. And Major and Ravi throw down like rockstars and totally run this club, but Major is super bummed and just can’t deal, you know?
Wow, season two is finally here! We welcome iZombieObsessed‘s Kirsten Moodie to chat with us in our very first post-show podcast! We talk about the fun stuff Kirsten does in service of her iZombie obsession and a little bit of news before we jump into our discussion of the Season 2 premiere “Grumpy Old Liv”.
Liv has turned into Archie Bunker, Blaine has turned into a brain-harvesting Nate Fisher, and Major has turned into a Zombie hunter for hire! And how about that mysterious new roommate? We chat about these topics and more from Rob Thomas’s hilarious script, as our brains turn slowly to mush from being up too late. But don’t worry. The cat survived.
In this episode, we talk iZombie news, give you a sneak peek at the iZombie Season 1 DVD set and then spend some time with Power Rangers RPM – starring young Rose McIver as the Yellow Ranger. Considering we know nothing about Power Rangers, we still had a fun time chatting about it! If you want to check out the episodes we are discussing, queue up Power Rangers RPM episodes “Ranger Yellow” parts one and two, available on Netflix streaming. If you are a fan of Rose on iZombie, you have GOT to check her out on this show!
