The Last Cast: HBO's The Last of Us Recap

This, and their other podcast Wayfarin’ Strangers, is arguably the definitive TLOU podcasts. Jack and Andrew leave no stone unturned as they explore the deepest of dives into all of the themes and nuances of this universe. Well researched and well articulated both hosts bring their own unique examinations to the show, Jacks raw and real emotions are wonderfully counterbalanced with Andrew’s humour, and gentle pushbacks at times. Highly recommended if you’re willing to get deep into the weeds, or... more

Opinionated and garrulous lady thinks she knows more about The Last of Us than the creators/writers. Has a lot of opinions, often based on her own life experiences - you might indulge her but I was looking for something more nuanced and analytical (and less rambling) about TLoU.

If you hate Season 2 of The Last of Us HBO show this is the podcast for you!

The Last Cast is FABULOUS!!!!

Hi! I'm a fan from South Korea.

I just wanted to say that I love your show! I don’t play video games, and none of my friends watch the show, so listening to you guys really helps me get through it all! Also abosolutely LOVE the martin scorsese length episodes🤤🫶

This is a great podcast, definitely worth listening too. Though I probably wouldn’t recommend it if you haven’t played both part 1 and part 2 of the games. Jack and Andrew try to keep this show spoiler free (until a clear spoiler break in the episode) but, drop enough hints at the future (both vague and slightly obvious) that it can get a bit annoying at times. I have played both games, and although I appreciate them wanting to do a spoiler free podcast for everyone out there who is watching for... more

Listen. If you’re going to say you do a “deep dive” on an episode of TV that’s an hour long… The pod needs to be at LEAST 3 hours long. Jack and Andrew deliver on that! They are so insightful and do some amazing analyses of each episode and it is exactly what I was looking for in a podcast! I truly loved going moment by moment and breaking everything down. I particularly *loved* how each episode of the pod seemed to get a little bit more chaotic, each week (particularly during and after Kin). I ... more

I am a fan of HBO’s The Last of Us and I have not played the game, nor am I a gamer. However, I have enjoyed this show and the insights provided about the game compared to the show. The banter and “spirited” debate between the two engaging hosts is always interesting and entertaining! Looking forward to more episodes of this great podcast!

Not a TLOU gamer but I might be soon! I loved the show. And loved listening to Jack and Andrew deep dive into the episodes each week. I got to experience the episodes a second without watching a second time. The detailed deep dive and thought process was amazing… and I certainly enjoyed when Jack and Andrew didn’t see eye to eye. Jack’s unparalleled passion and Andrew’s alternate theories draw you in and are very engaging. Loved it! Thanks you two.

I love this podcast. I listen on Spotify but had to download Apple Podcast just to give a review. Besides new TLOU episodes, it’s the one thing I look forward to each week. Sad the season is over but looking forward to bonus episodes.

You guys are awesome, keep feeding us!!!

PS - Joel did nothing wrong.

I’ve enjoyed listening to this great podcast. You can feel the amount of care and dedication to the Last of Us that Jack and Andrew put into each episode. Having never played the game, this pod has been very informative and provides me all the little details I might have missed. I appreciate the opportunity to learn more and just might have to start playing the game. Keep up the great work, it’s been an awesome ride so far. You love to hear it.

Having never played the game I didn’t know what I was letting myself in for with The Last Of Us. I wanted to watch it after finding out Craig Mazin was involved after he did such a phenomenal job on Chernobyl.

I discovered this podcast and I can honestly say that listening to Jack and Andrews meticulous break down of every episode has become as much of the TLOU experience as the tv series itself. I look forward to their (very) lengthy breakdown every week.

Ben from Manchester England!

every friday i’m rushing to my Spotify to listen to you both. please never stop podcasting together!!!! The Last Cast and Wayfarin’ Strangers are the only ones i listen to.

I am of the 5% of people who watch the show, become obsessed, and then play the game.

10/10 show. Love the breakdowns. Love the banter. Love the tense feelings I get when Jack and Andrew vehemently disagree <3

After watching the first ep of TLOU I tried finding fellow fans discussing the epic piece of art we had all witnessed. I was coming up short until I stumbled across this podcast. I was VERY happy to find the long run times and thoroughly enjoy the passion, care and detail Jack and Andrew deliver.

In all honesty this podcast has become the highlight of my week as I listen to Jack and Andrew discuss, debate, cry, cringe (ep 8 🤮) and laugh about this masterpiece of television.

Though I don’t ag... more
