The Last of Us, episode one: When You’re Lost in the Darkness

Ria and Alyson discuss the first episode of HBO's The Last of Us, talking about the amazing cast, world building and the scenes that most resonated with them. Over the next eight weeks, Ria will be discussing each episode, and trying not to geek out too much, every week with various guests. The Last of Us is based on the critically acclaimed game by Naughty Dog. The show stars Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey as Ellie Williams. Huge thank you to Kevin for providing his beautiful version of Gustavo Santaolalla's The Last of Us theme. Kevin performed the music on one of his many awesome ukuleles. If you want more The Last of Us content, listen to the Comics in Motion roundtable about The Last of Us Part 1. Both Alyson and Ria are part of the Femme on podcast collective.

Recent episodes include Femme on Creatives, where Alyson chats to filmmaker Pamela Ribon about her short animated (and Oscar shortlisted) film: My Year of Dicks and Femme on TV: Dickinson in which Ada and Ria discuss season one of Apple TV+'s Dickinson. Find out more and join in the conversation at https://www.femmeon.show/ Alyson’s Twitter and Instagram: @byalysonshelton - Alyson’s Website: www.alysonshelton.com Ria's Twitter and Instagram: @riacarrogan
