THE LAST OF US Editors Timothy A. Good and Emily Mendez

Thank you for listening to this episode of the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast. A movie podcast that takes you on a weekly journey into the world of cinema and the minds of the talented individuals who shape it. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today we are joined by editors Timothy A. Good and Emily Mendez to discuss their Emmy nominated work on THE LAST OF US. After a global pandemic destroys civilization, a hardened survivor takes charge of a 14-year-old girl who may be humanity’s last hope. While the series has more than enough gore and action to satisfy the most craven of genre fans, the show, in its heart, is about survival, moving on in the face of great loss, and ultimately hope. About the importance of vulnerability in dangerous times, at least to me it is. To you, it could be something wildly different.  But before we dive into our conversation with Tim and Emily, I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, Bookmans. Bookmans is your go-to independent bookstore, where you can find an extensive selection of books, movies, music, and more. They truly believe in the power of storytelling and the magic of the cinematic arts. So, if you're looking to expand your film, music, or movie collection, be sure to visit your nearest Bookmans, there is always something truly wonderful to discover. Have you followed the Following Films Podcast on Spotify? If you have, thank you! If you haven’t head on over to Spotify, search for Following Films, and give us a follow. It really does help the show. Personally, I got my fingers crossed for Tim and Emily on Emmy night, great people making great art. THE LAST OF US is currently available to stream on HBO Max. Or is it just Max now? That sounds weird, but it's right. I’ll Tweet about it on X. Strange days people, strange days. Enjoy the show.
