Step into the apocalypse with the Help We’re Nerds crew as they revisit the world of The Walking Dead—a pop-culture juggernaut that turned survival into storytelling art.
With Ethan handing the reins to Kerry and Ashley for this one, the episode feels like a campfire chat—equal parts nostalgia, critique, and chaos. Together, they unearth the show’s biggest highs and haunting lows—from Sophia’s barn reveal and Negan’s brutal reign to the comic-book splits and the exits that left fans wrecked.
As the conversation shambles through the seasons, it explores how the series reshaped TV horror, the ethics of endless spin-offs, and the way grief, community, and moral decay fueled its power. Laughter, raw honesty, and a few fiery fan theories keep things alive as the trio debate what made the early seasons unmissable—and where the story lost its bite.
Buckle up for a raw, nostalgic tour through AMC’s undead empire—equal parts cultural critique, survival guide, and affectionate nerding-out—and stick around to share your favorite Walking Dead moment in the comments.
