510: "Kin" (The Last of Us S1E6)

Another change of pace this week, as Joel reaches Tommy in Jackson, WY, and comes to terms with what he’s gotta do. Such a great episode: at times funny, tense, heartbreaking, awkward and uncomfortable, moving, inspiring, and ultimately, incredibly worrying.  Links: • Pedro Pascal SNL Skit “Waking Up”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GEWSNylwS8 • Rutina Wesley wanted to play Maria in The Last of Us her way: 'I was up for the challenge’: https://ew.com/tv/the-last-of-us-rutina-wesley-maria-interview/ • ‘Walking Dead’ Daryl Spinoff Adds Five to Cast: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/walking-dead-daryl-spinoff-cast-1235519220/ Please tell your friends who love The Last of Us about us We’re easy to find.
