The Walking Dead

Hey Slasher!
I was actually able to attend the live broadcast of the Talking Dead last night. We got to be sneaky and screen the season premiere before it aired and then sit in on the new "talk show" AMC is hosting for the show. SO FUN!
First, let me just say that the season premiere was AMAZING! Totally loved it. Definitely got me pumped for the rest of the season. As for the little Talking Dead show—hosted by Chris Hardwick of The Nerdist—though I wasn't sure how it would be, it turned out to be pretty damn fun. It airs live for a half an hour after the Walking Dead. For it's debut, Chris spoke to Robert Kirkman (the writer of the comics/graphic novel and one of the show's producers) via satellite from the New York Comic Con, and had James Gunn (writer of Dawn of the Dead [2004]) and Patton Oswalt (random comedian/actor) in the studio. He also took questions from callers and from online. At the very least, it was interesting to hear Kirkman speak about his comics being turned into a show, and Gunn throw in his two cents about zombies in general.
Good times, good times...
Oh, and a little hehehehe for fellow film history lovers: we got to use the original UA screening room to screen the show. Ie: the screening room that would have been used by Charlie Chaplin and all his contemporaries. So. Bad. Ass.
