The Last of Us, Vampires, Zombie Kisses + the Writer’s Strike.
Jason and Peter are huge fans of the HBO series The Last of Us, featuring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the adaptation of the award-winning Sony video game. In the show, the world is suffering from a fictional brain infection that hijacks humanity, turning most of the world into ravenous zombies. Scientists have noted that the show’s pathogen is inspired by a very real set of fungi that assumes control of an ant’s motor system making it a “zombie”. Today, with global warming, there is speculation that this fictional infection could be closer to reality than we may realize! Really, no really?
To tackle this infectious situation, we asked The Last of Us co-creator, co-writer, director, and executive producer Craig Mazin to help us understand the science behind the fiction. Craig is best known for HBO’s Chernobyl and a long list of hit comedies including The Hangover Part II and III, Scary Movie 3 and 4 and many more.
In this episode:
- Could fungi-zombification happen in real life?
- Your lingering zombie questions finally answered.
- The difficulties of adapting a beloved video game franchise.
- Filming a postapocalyptic pandemic show during a pandemic.
- Was season 1 really more expensive than the first 5 seasons of Game of Thrones?
- How Game of Thrones should have ended (according to Craig Mazin.)
- The Hollywood strike’s effect on Season 2 and the changing realities in Hollywood.
- Our fascination with horror movies and the zombie apocalypse.
- Vampires genealogy.
- THE BIG QUESTION: Why Nick Offerman and not Jason Alexander?

Just know Craig and Neil if The Last of Us was like The Walking Dead, I would not be watching. I am glad you call them infected too, otherwise, I would be feeling my IQ falling. And Jason, it is The Walking Dead, really? no, really? what is there to understand? Just take it :) and forget about all logic, I mean corpses walking? right, ok sure. That's why I like Zombieland, that's the zombie apocalypse I like. Those zombies (like in The Walking Dead) are everything but a serious issue (for the spectator I mean). Like the dead of the week, that one is ridiculously hilarious.

The zombie/infected argument is so ridiculous. Yes they are called “infected” in-universe, but they are zombies in our pop culture. The Last of Us (both the show and game) is a successful piece of zombie media.
