[Percolation Nation] March, 2021

Why miss out? Subscribe to our blog via E-Mail!


Welcome to our 16th Percolation Nation! This blog highlights our ☕Ko-fi backers' generous contributions for the month of March, 2021! ICYMI, we detail the benefits of supporting us on Ko-fi in our first-ever Percolation Nation.
If you like what we're doing, want to join us during our recording sessions, and/or (at least) want to pick up Early Access to our Unedited Episode Recordings, head over to our Ko-fi page and just follow us (by creating a Ko-fi.com account). Watch our intro video, view our funding goal (currently: self-sufficiency), and scroll through the feed to see who's backed us. Ultimately, you are going to want to check out the posts section to view all the supporter-backed content you're entitled to when you join the nation! When you see something you want access to, just buy us a ☕coffee!

🏚House-Keeping:

  • We've been cranking away, covering The Walking Dead's bonus episodes of its 10th Season. You should definitely pick-up the unedited episode recordings!
  • SQUAWKING DEAD Ringtone!
    What's so great about keeping things fresh on the podcast is that, occasionally, we do something that's so great, it's worth giving it to others to keep. After 3+ years, crediting other creators for their music or just plain using copyrighted music (sorry Bear McCreary), we decided to mix a new Episode Intro Soundtrack that sounded so good and original that we gave it to ☕Ko-fi Backers as a perk and made it available to purchase for everyone else. As a bonus, every purchase in our Ko-fi Shop automatically includes 30 days of Supporter-Backed content!
  • @BlazyGardener's Trivia Tournaments
    Over the last month plus, we've had the honor and pleasure helping Sherrandy produce a few FearTWD/TWDUniverse Trivia Tournaments. It's been such a blast! Sherrandy is not only a loyal fan of SQUAWKING DEAD, but one of the most hardcore Fear The Walking Dead fans (at least of seasons 4-6) we've ever met. More than anything else, she is an incredible human being and if you want to take part in any of her upcoming productions, please DM her on Social Media (Twitter, Instagram). Here's some of the things we've done in the last month and if you want to support her in her endeavors, please buy her a ☕Ko-fi!:
  • Our Inteview with Peggy Schott ("Tess", from Fear The Walking Dead)
    So, here's the deal: I've always been ambivalent about doing interviews. I'm not stupid, though: I know damn well that they create a level of buzz and fervor that our Episode Breakdowns simply can't and won't produce (and, who knows, if that makes it so that we get more eyes and ears on the overall podcast, who does it hurt?). They are usually shorter and contain 1st-hand info from people who others want to know more about. When Sherrandy & Rachael approached me about doing an interview with Peggy, I gave them the reins! All I did was push a button and make sure the sound levels were good (well, mostly - other things, too!). I'll be editing this interview, today, but here's a copy of the Unedited Interview for you to download!
  • @Cosmomom09's appearance on Talking Dead!
    Last, but certainly by no means the least, SQUAWKING DEAD Co-Host, Rachael Burt, appeared on Talking Dead to ask a fan question, alongside Melissa McBride, Cooper Andrews, Director David Boyd, and Property Brothers' Drew Scott! The video description sort of explains the journey (but maybe Rachael & Dave will go through exactly what happened in the pre-show to our next Unedited Episode Recording of [Episode 125]). We were suppost to post this blog, yesterday, but because we deferred it to today, we were able to squeeze this update in, under the wire! We are so very proud of Rachael and, just so you are aware, she is also an artist! If you want to support her work, you can also buy her a ☕Ko-fi!

Help us achieve our present goal!

And here we thought we wouldn't have anything to talk about! In this Princess-centric episode, we go through the depths of her psyche by way of her assigned archetypes, and even find reasons to belly-laugh about some of the ideas we thought up... because, is this SQUAWKING DEAD episode even real? 👀
...one thing we know for sure: Watch #TalkingDead this Sunday!
We definitely cut out a lot in the pre-show & post-show, for VERY good reason! If you want a copy of the Unedited Episode Recordings - or just want join us during our next Recording Session - all while supporting this #podcast, Click Here!
Buy our NEW Ringtone!
David Cameo:
Rachael Burt:
  • Paola Lázaro's proper pronunciation (with Shout-outs to Douglas Atherton & The Jamie Jo Show); Portuguese with Nyssa
  • "Splinter": @BlazyGardener expected a rat to train our group in the sewers; Yumichangelo and Raphezekiel
  • Going through the mental illness with Princess: PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, overactive imagination to cope; Everyone is dealing a little bit of these distresses, but Princess has it all at once
  • Leah = "Heal" (shout-out to @fftcocoon): We’re still wondering if Leah is real; Maybe she died right after meeting Daryl and he imagined the rest of the story; Her whole identity is a mishmash of people Daryl knows
  • Dave is HOT for Preacher: Gabe’s voiceover in "One More"; Eugene's voiceover in "Splinter" reminds us that he brought us to this new community; Dave is preparing himself for Father Gabriel’s epic death
  • Salt-n-Peppering your stories: telling a screwy version so much you believe it; Comic book Princess vs. On-screen Princess: AMC TWD is able to expand on her character and backstory so much more
  • Gabe is a changed man after the time jump
  • Princesses perception of her mom; Who was Sammy and his group? pre-apocalypse/post-apocalypse 
  • Call back to Harrisburg, when we first meet Princess.
  • Yumiko represents trauma, guilt, and even regret. Princess feels responsible for her.
  • What made people leave Princess behind?
  • Making Dave say uncomfortable things on the air!

  • WHAT IS REAL?! Lance Hornsby interview IS real, but her response to the strip search is very bizarre; Is Princess remembering it inaccurately?
  • Dave remembers his mother LYING to him as a child
  • "I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen one turn that fast"
  • Eugene is the rational voice of Princess: She needs to trust her new friends; Princess "lets go" when she uncuffs the soldier: her splinter comes out/her anxiety is lifted
  • Is romance in Princess' future?

  • Princess is exaggerating Yumiko's injuries; Eleanor Matsuura was stuck in England due to COVID during filming for the bonuses

  • Ezekiel represents The Protector: Princess' survival instinct; Trust what you know is true
  • TWD really separating crazy from mental illness; Princess and possible D.I.D.; Ezekiel plays Princesses Anger Translator

  • Are the soldiers just watching Princess run from the train car to the fence, and back? Eric Burt suggests the soldier signaled the others outside the train car by clicking on the radio; The Walkers at the fence talk back to Princess, "Come back to me"
  • BIG differences between CRM and Commonwealth
  • "I’m a god damned superhero when I’m alone"
  • Making really tough choices in the apocalypse
  • Geography: does it even matter anymore?
  • Will the real Lance Horsnby please stand up?
  • Coño = Pussy!
  • Nothing is real!
  • For all those who dislike these bonus episodes, hope you enjoy Tales of The Walking Dead; These are BONUS episodes: appreciate them; Truly understanding why people aren’t enjoying these episodes: We knew these were not meant to move the story along
  • Watch Talking Dead after next week's episode 😉

Father Gabriel goes Next-Level Stoicism, while Aaron assumes the burden of hosting both his and the padre's soul. While reacting to the shock, drama, and some funnies, we still had a lot of questions that begged answering.
CHRIS, from BMNY DeadCast Live, is BACK after a very long hiatus (both from SQUAWKING DEAD and his own channel) and we're honored to be the ones to ease him back into online life after a heck of an anniversary since the start of...stuff n' thangs.
A TON of preshow in the Unedited Episode Recordings for you to grab with MANY behind-the-scene takes that were definitely too hot to make the final cut! How do you get it? Buy supporting us, of course! And, best of all: you, too, can lend us your thoughts during our recording sessions! Click here!
David Cameo:
Chris Valerius (BMNY DeadCast):
Rachael Burt:
  • We catch up with Chris from BMNY DeadCast Live: Been busy with COVID-19; vaccines; wearing masks; Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness
  • Chris’ impressions: Enjoyed the previous episode, as well as this one; agrees with Gabe’s actions
  • Beautiful Bloodbath
  • Sympathy for the Walkers: Too-Tired walker, next to the field of sleepy walkers
  • Stoicism: The endurance of pain or hardship without the display of feelings and without complaint; like playing videos games as little boy; Gabe exhibits this throughout the episode
  • Why didn’t Gabe tell Aaron about the walker/bodies on the roof?
  • Father Gabriel changed over the 6 year time jump, but how? Why? Will we see it?
  • Gabe vs. Mays: Was Gabe right? Does GOD give him permission?
  • Was Gabe being genuine with Mays or saying what he wanted to hear?
  • Giving Father Gabriel a free pass because GOD told him to?
  • Did Mays kill the people on the roof or the burned bodies at the cottage?
  • Never "holster" your gun this way...
  • Negan gets redemption, but not Mays
  • Is Gabe touched by GOD? He keeps lucking out 
  • Emotional moments: Aaron’s facial expressions
  • Duane Jones Bourbon: NOT MORGAN’S SON! An homage to Actor from Night of the Living Dead. Super Troll brothers (Kirkman & Gimple) at it again!

  • Foreshadowing with the Skelehorse + rider?: Blue scarf looks like the ribbon on Strand's hat (FearTWD S6); Evokes memories of Rick Grimes
  • Aaron’s a good shit: contains all the goodness in Gabriel/Rick

  • Gabriel bluffing a spade flush


  • These bonus episodes could represent 5 stages of guilt
  • Mays and Negan: Will this change Gabe’s/our perspective on Negan?
  • Goodbye Gabe: The Water Tower
  • Someone is dying this season
  • Non-threatening Lance Hornsby, next episode
  • TWD is still shocking and surprising us!

We went through most of the hype, drama, and anticipation for this week's episode in last week's #podcast. Breaking down this episode has been quite the trip, as we discover how much consideration the writers and show-runner, #AngelaKang, has had for #DarylDixon's development for quite a while, now!
Consider supporting us! You receive Early Access to this and future Unedited Episode Recordings, as well as the ability to lend your insights into future Recording Sessions - along with some other neat perks: Click Here!
David Cameo:
Rachael Burt:
  • Daryl/Carol/Leah dynamic: different sides of Daryl and the free to be himself (whatever that means).
  • FISH BANGS/FISH THUDS
  • Was there reservation for the #CARYL-ers?
  • DOG brought Daryl and Leah together
  • Comparing past scenes to present episode: Carol knows about Leah

  • Why is everyone only mad at Daryl/Norman? Carol was with Ezekiel, raising Henry 
  • Leah/Carol parallels
  • TWITTER is mean
  • We hate in others, what we hate in ourselves: Carol and Daryl on opposite sides of the river
  • Where is Carol at mentally? Will she run? Can we compare Carol to Negan?

  • Never ending loop. Pretending to be okay
  • Moving on with your life
  • We learn about Leah’s past: her "son" Matthew

  • We see Daryl’s fresh cut scar over his eye, but no idea how it happened (more story?)
  • Ezekiel vs. Daryl
  • TIMELINES!!!!
  • Daryl in arrested development
  • Once you SQUAWK you never go TALK
  • Leah left Daryl ~1yr and 9 months ago from present day: Unknown when Daryl loses his wing during this time.
  • Daryl already knows the consequences of going too far (losing control)
  • Daryl allows Carol to read his message to Leah (which contains a map)
  • Did Leah leave on her own? Why is DOG left behind? But she clearly takes Matthew’s photo with her?
  • Leah’s ultimatum: was she pregnant?
  • Leah is Madison?
  • Is Leah REAL?! Oh no, not again (R.J. Grimes)

  • @fftcocoon shares some BTS of Carol with Leah’s pocketknife, in TWD 10x21 (Kirsten Acuna expands upon this in one of her articles for Insider.com)

  • Daryl’s map is to scale: is he a little suicidal?
  • Has Leah met up with another faction? Reapers? Leftover Saviors? 
  • Rick is Daryl’s real brother: he noticeably opens up to Leah a little
  • Will Leah take on the role of Sherry from the comics, leading the left over Saviors?
  • Leah’s relationship to Matthew: her spiel removes us from the drama in the moment, but does draw parallels
  • Contextualizing everything: But what about Connie?
  • Title card still dripping in blood (no progression/change, though)
  • Carol looking out for Daryl: slipping the map into his bag
  • Daryl really doesn’t know what to do, other than to continue looking for Rick
  • Maybe Leah died and Daryl is imagining her.
  • Leah and Carol sort resemble one another 🤔
    Courtesy of @fftcocoon
    (left) Leah from this episode, (right) Melissa McBride in Dawson's Creek
  • Is Carol leading Daryl towards the cabin?
  • Daryl takes it all for everyone else (takes nothing for himself)
  • Carol’s "apology", "I’m sorry, but I was right"; relationships of all kinds change/evolve
  • Daryl’s sound is so clear!
  • Melissa McBride looked off on Talking Dead: prepping for the #CARYL-ers 
  • Where does Carol belong? Daryl lays down some harsh truth.
  • A PUPPY DOG NAMED CARL! Puppy Dog vs. Baby Hershel. Team People vs Team Creatures
  • Daryl knows where he belongs (with his people), but would he leave if Leah shows up?
  • Excitement towards next episode

[Episode 121] Season 10, Episode 17 of The Walking Dead, "Home Sweet Home"

WE'RE BACK covering THE WALKING DEAD, again! In it's own weird way, #TWDx has been a reflection of where we are in society: It's the longest season of #TWD and has gone through quite the evolution. So it goes, this episode deals a lot with "rebuilding", but also "acknowledging" the past and reconciling the two.
We cut out a LOT from this episode! "...but where can one get the raw, unedited episode recordings," one might ask? Well look no further: for these and the chance to lend your insights in future recordings - all while supporting this #podcast - Click here!
David Cameo:
Rachael Burt:
  • Lydia’s voiceover, picking right up where we left off; Maggie kills the Walker Whisperer/Last of the Guardians/The Endling
  • Poor Chandler Riggs & Meeting baby Hershel: a little anticlimactic? 
  • Maggie’s stories to Hershel
  • WE LOVE COLE, played by James Devoti: Replacement Dante? Romance for Aaron (reminders of Jesus)?
  • Elijah & Maggie’s weird relationship.
  • #Kelijah: a romance between Kelly and Elijah? or Throuple: #kelijaggie
  • Carol & Daryl drama: #CARYL contingent loses their minds over upcoming episode; Forgot about #CARZEKIEL; Dave mends broken hearts; Don’t break their friendship, it might break us; SEPARATE the character from the actor.

  • Eating baby Hershel
  • Kirkman & Gimple totally yanking both ours AND the cast's chains; empty promises; Super Troll Brothers; Michael Satrazemis is Toad
  • Fans biting Norman Reedus
  • Is Leah in a flashback? Nobody wants to see Norman Reedus’ kiss face.
  • Real fans don’t abandon their show
  • Maggie’s people
  • Carol owns up to Maggie: Confesses she #ReleasedTheNegan, but Maggie totally understands.
  • Silence the Whisperers/Whispers Into Screams
  • Maggie Rhee vs Hershel's Mother: wanting to be Glenn's avenger for Hershel
  • Coming around on Negan: it’s undecided; living in a community after paying your debt to society; Lydia, "Carol’s actions, right or wrong, her plan worked."
  • Filming during COVID: using shadows to your advantage; holding a boom mic properly; does camera distance improve the overall performance?
  • Cole’s awesome knife/sword: Frodo’s Sting.
  • Did you hear Aaron in the beginning of the episode? He and Gabriel are headed somewhere.
  • Maggie sees Negan in the leather jacket: can he hang it up for good? Is there a world in which Negan is "responsible" for Hershel?
  • James Devoti as "Beautiful Man #1" & Kobra Kai joins the #TWDUniverse a la Okea Eme-Akwari
  • Georgie is definitely NOT with The Commonwealth: Maggie’s been all over the place and Georgie last left to a "city out west"
  • TWD/Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul spin off? How about The Stand?
  • Is the assassin part of The Reapers? "Pope" ("Mays") could be Rickard Patrick. The Assasin "Paiges" himself (not to be confused with "Otising")
  • Dave fixes the Season 11 trailer

  • Will Gabriel meet "Pope" in the next episode? How will that scene go down? Who named them The Reapers?
  • Kelly and Elijah connection: Kelly finally feels PART of Team Family (O.G. Cast); when Maggie realizes Kelly is deaf.
  • What are the priorities? The-Here-And-Now or The Future?
  • Dave & Rachael have some bones to pick: Artillery effectiveness after 10 years.
  • Possible Hershel/Negan relationship: being responsible for a life (taken); "Eye Under an Eye"; Will Negan be Neganing?

  • "You want it Darker" by Leonard Cohen (covered by Anita Lester): more than just an overall mood, is there foreshadowing? Leonard Cohen's dark/sober interview.
    • If you are the dealer / I'm out of the game / If you are the healer it means / I'm broken and lame / If thine is the glory then / Mine must be the shame / You want it darker / We kill the flame
    • Magnified, sanctified / Be the holy name / Feel the fire, crucified / In the human frame / A million candles burning / For the help that never came / You want it darker
    • Hineni, hineni / I'm ready, My Lord
      HINENI = "Here I am" in Hebrew
    • There's a lover in the story / But the story's still the same / There's a lullaby for suffering / And a paradox to blame / But it's written in the scriptures / And it's not some idol claim / You want it darker / We killed the flame
    • You're lining up to prisoners / And the guards are taking him / I struggle with some demons / They were middle class and dean / I didn't know I had permission / To murder and to mend / You want it darker…
