About this episode
Welcome back! Today Michael Lee joins us to talk about the 2013 video game masterpiece from Naughty Dog, The Last of Us, Part I! We'll look at a brand new type of zombie, and a chance at a cure. We'll talk about fatherhood, trust, and lies, and we'll look at whether it's the humans or the infected who are the real danger. And we'll ask the most pressing question: What is it with 2013 games impaling their protagonists? This and more, in The Last of Us, Part I! Join us there, at the end of the world.
The Last of Us, Part I is available on Playstation 3, 4, and 5, and on PC via Steam and Epic.
