709: TWD S7E1 "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be" Rewatch

There’s so much weight to this episode, in different ways. It’s absolutely landmark episode of The Walking Dead. And I didn’t remember how much it was just Negan applying constant pressure to Rick, until he breaks. Yes, it’s hard to watch, and I don’t blame anyone who thought it was too much. And also I think for what it was, it was done so well. Lucy and I are so pleased to be joined by Ben for this one to help us do it justice. Of course Ben hosts this podcast for Dead City coverage, and I think it was a good balance of viewpoints among the three of us. Hope you enjoy! As we mentioned on the podcast, the rewatch will be on hiatus for awhile after this one. Sometime in the next two weeks I’ll be joined by Chris of The Talking Dead podcast and Rich to cover the new Evil Dead movie, Evil Dead Burn, and then soon after, Alex and Ben will be on for Dead City S3!  Enjoying the rewatch?
