Almost Accurate
181- The Last of Us
•
In this extra EXTRA long episode of Almost Accurate Jake and Ryan talk about HBO's latest series that has taken the world by infected storm, The Last of US.
A brutal, harrowing experience to watch, The Last of Us shows that there actually ARE some video games that have good stories and this turns out to be a faithful adaptation that adds enough new elements that allow it to stand apart from the source material in a way that feels natural, confident, and carries a high degree of polish.
This series is so good I didn't even feel like typing any of our normal dumb jokes into here. No need. Seriously, it's that good. We break down each episode (well.... episodes 1-7 at least) and we'll cover the conclusion on our next podcast! Clearly we're over two hours here, we had to call time at some point. If you haven't watched the show yet we couldn't possibly recommend it more!
