This week, the Time Pals get into a roundtable discussion and delve into Naughty Dog's acclaimed game, The Last of Us, and its recent adaptation into a television series.

Joining us is author/writer, film school student, and host of the upcoming "Something Offensive Podcast", Britt McKay.

Together, we explore the emotional impact of the game and the artistic liberties taken in the show. If the Clickers don't get them, the Time Pals themselves WILL! (It's a bit about man being the true monster, you get it...)
