Episode 17 - "The Last of Us" Review

This week Andrew & Ted share their thoughts, after watching the first 3 episodes, about HBO Max's drama / global apocalyptic / zombie series "The Last of Us", starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.  This screen adaptation of the wildly popular video game, follow Joel (Pascal) and Ellie (Ramsey) as they cross the post-fungal apocalyptic United States in an effort to get Ellie (Ramsey) from Boston to the west coast so that researchers may determine what is it that make Ellie immune to the fungal infection.  Along the way, Joel and Ellie encounter flesh eating zombies and packs of cautious uninfected people looking to survive themselves.  Ted was a fan and player of the game prior to the series dropping, while Andrew views the series as a stand alone series having not having know it was first a game.  So the question becomes ... can the series stand up on it's own merit or is it propped up by the popularity of the game?  Tune in to listen as Andrew and Ted break it all down.
