In this one, Phoenix explains how much he hates waiting for his shows so that's why he binge watches/reads everything. This is part 2 of the war and he's glad that he didn't have to keep waiting to see how it ended since he had all the books stockpiled already. He loves Negan so much that it's hard to see it all come to an end. Phoenix also is terribly confused as to WHAT exactly spreads the virus after Negan's plan of infecting their weapons and cutting people to spread the infection works. It's confusing.
203 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 29 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 20 - All Out War Part 1
Phoenix loves this chapter. More specifically he loves the concept of having/owning/needing "shitting pants" as Negan suggests. He again explains how bored he is watching Michonne bang people and then shut off afterward. He explains every aspect of the war that is happening here. He loves how Negan makes mistakes and isn't just a typical Bond villain. Then he goes into length to explain how stupid Bond villains are. Blah.
202 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 28 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 19 - March To War
In this one Phoenix talks about how he's bored with Michonne's character in the comic but not in the show. In the comic if she isn't slicing off zombie heads, she is banging a dude without emotion over and over. He also loves the way Negan is written and how he isn't just another bullshit villain. He also goes into what he really thinks happened to the fate of a character in episode 603 of the TV show. It is spoiler free but when he gets into TV spoilers, he tells you to turn it off so don't worry.
201 - LIW Improv Theater - 37 - Explain Song Lyrics 5 (ICP's Rainbows And Stuff)
Phoenix and Bri discuss the value behind the song lyrics "Rainbows And Stuff" by legendary artist ICP. Boy do these two look like insane clowns trying to describe the genius to their listeners, i.e. posse. With lyrics that range from calling a woman a slut, how much they like silicone tits, and gingerbread homes, this song is sure to appeal to almost everyone. Phoenix is still upset that ICP didn't follow through and kill themselves.

200 - LIW American Horror Story Review - 3 - Mommy (503)
Phoenix and Bri discuss the episode Mommy of American Horror Story, season 5 episode 3. They discuss what they love/hate about the show, what characters they love/hate, and what they are looking forward to in future episodes. They focus for a long time on how much Lady Gaga's character has sex and how it must be in her contract that she fucks every attractive cast member.
198 - TINM! - 55 - "Randy Quaid Is A Mytical Creature Now."
In this episode, Phoenix talks about his experience with an Arizona pumpkin patch, the differences between city pumpkin patches and the one he grew up with, how he believed Randy Quaid was hiding out on that particular pumpkin patch, how he might suck a dick or two if they dispense pumpkin spice lattes. He also does an update on his Lasik before talking about Back To The Future II day. He framed the newspaper. It's sad, really.
197 - LIW Improv Theater - 36 - Tristan Of The Unreliables Performs Monster Mash Live At LIW Studio
On Monday's episode, Phoenix was patiently waiting for The Unreliables to show up for a live studio concert. They didn't show. But the singer did! He felt bad so he performed Monster Mash to help Phoenix celebrate Halloween 2015. It was....fucking terrible....just awful.

196 - LIW Improv Theater - 35 - The Unreliables Live At LIW Studio
Phoenix is excited because his old band is coming into the studio! Phoenix used to be the lead singer and bassist for the band The Unreliables. They're in studio....soon....like today probably.

199 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 27 - The Walking Dead - 603 - Thank You
Thank You for being a zombie friend! Not quite sure what the episode title means at all but had a ball describing the show. Phoenix attempt to describe the difference between the show and the comic in this episode of The Walking Dead. He focuses a lot on how he couldn't keep track of all the boring Alexandria characters but it doesn't matter because they're mostly all dead now. Does Nicholas have PTSD? Probably. Does Daryl finally get off the motorcycle this season? Nope. Will Michonne learn to love? Heath thinks so. Which doughy white dudes die? A few of them. Will Negan ever show up? Phoenix wishes. Although they'd have to censor him out all the time.
195 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 26 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 18 - What Comes After
What Comes After. Andrea moves out for 20 seconds then doesn't. Jesus follows Dwight. Jesus is used to the other way around. He's a better leader than follower because he gets caught. Anyway, Negan is a badass and has to swear every other word in order to show his power. Lucille is sexy, make sure you eat her 'bat pussy'. This is a weird chapter with tons of back and forth between Rick and everyone else in the entire comic universe.
194 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 25 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 17 - Something To Fear
Something To Fear is fucking brutal. They kill off 2 main characters. TWO. To. TOO...many characters die in this one. It's just 2 but it seems like a lot. This chapter is awesome and it's filled with lots of new characters to hate/fear/lust after. Phoenix got his wish and Negan is a villain! He asked for this a few chapters ago when a random dude showed up at the gate and Andrea killed him in a page. It was a let down that finally paid off! Will it be worth it? Yes it will. Phoenix already knows the answer because he read ahead!
193 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 24 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 16 - A Larger World
In this chapter, our characters find out they aren't the only psychopath assholes in the world. There are plenty more! This one introduces the Hilltop people, which makes them sound like a cult. Phoenix also talks about Land Of The Dead and how terrible it was. Then he talks about new character, Jesus and assumes it isn't pronounced in the hispanic manner. The dude is white, just like Jesus Christ....wasn't. Anyway he looks like American Jesus with white skin and long hair.
191 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 22 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 14 - No Way Out
In this episode, Phoenix complains that Aaron and Eric have too similar of names, originally he thought it was Aaron and Erin so that didn't help. He also has a suggestion for the people in this world: if someone is mad at you, give it 30 Mississippi's and they'll forget about it. Shit hits the fan in this chapter just like every third chapter. Carl takes a lesson from his father and goes into a coma. Rick would be so proud.
192 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 23 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 15 - We Find Ourselves
We Find Ourselves sounds like a book you'd give to your kid as they're about to enter puberty. This chapter was purely just a set up for the chaos that happens later. Nobody dies, nobody new is introduced. Phoenix then does his Mark Wahlberg impression for a solid minute before getting back to describing the comic. Nicholas attempts to take over the town but doesn't. It was literally that exciting on the page too. He apologizes to Rick but he doesn't seem to give a shit. Typical man. (Thanks for the joke, Pam, the fat lady at every office with lame gender jokes)
190 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 21 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 13 - Too Far Gone
Too Far Gone is how Phoenix felt about Derek being killed so quickly at the end of the chapter. The comic introduced a cool villain and IMMEDIATELY killed him off without even a fight. What a shame. Our group has pretty much taken over Alexandria already and it doesn't go well.
188 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 19 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 11 - Fear The Hunters
Fear The Hunters. Get this: a priest and a zombie walk into a bar. The zombie says to the priest "ahhgraaaghhh." The priest says to the zombie, "The lord shall keep me safe." The zombie proceeds to eat the priest because his nonviolent attitude is useless in the zombie apocalypse. Holy shit Gabriel is so insanely useless. He's just another pointless mouth to feed. Phoenix spends time in this installment talking about who/what is useful and what is not.
189 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 20 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 12 - Life Among Them
Life Among Them was like Norman Rockwell meets George Romero. Lies are exposed, new ones are made. Eugene still has a mullet. Glenn looks exactly like Maggie when he takes his hat off. Rick starts a new love/hate relationship with Douglas inside Alexandria. They will be there a while so get comfortable. But not too comfortable because shit hits the fan soon. Listener beware.
187 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 18 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 10 - What We Become
What We Become is a sad one. Rick and Carl are still feeling the loss of Lori and Judith. Phoenix can't image why because he hates Lori with all his heart. Phoenix also spends a lot of this episode focusing on Rick's sleep mannerisms. Just saying... maybe if he slept more he wouldn't have to take a week long coma every few months. Also, he's horrified and confused as to why grown men would want to rape Carl when they are already surrounded by adult men to fuck. Weird.
186 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 17 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 9 - Here We Remain
Here We Remain wasn't too thick on plot so Phoenix did a bit of story-telling before the actual review starts. He touches on hating the sports/comics chasm, exactly how many TWD comics there are and how much money you'd have to spend to be a completist, Back To The Future Part II day and how dumb the USA Today paper being a day late was. Then he discusses the comic and how crazy everyone is getting.
185 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 16 - The Walking Dead Comic - Chapter 8 - Made To Suffer
Made To Suffer is when they decided to thin the herd. Cut the bullshit characters, even if they are infants. Fuck it. Hit the reset button. I'm very glad they did. Thin Lizzy would love the plot of this one too. Trust me. It's a reference. The Governor gets his revenge!....er...revenge for the revenge that was taken out on him....it's confusing but awesome.
