The Last Of Us: Creator Craig Mazin talks clickers, casting and... Paris Hilton?!
Ойын-сауық
The Last of Us, the adaption of Naughty Dog's HUGELY successful video series made people nervous - VERY nervous. Game adaptations had not been kind to our eyes over the years.
Then details started to trickle through... Craig Mazin, creator of Chernobyl and acclaimed screenwriter was partnering up with original game creator Neil Druckmann. CHECK!
Game of Thrones alumni Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay were cast in the title roles - CHECK!
The signs were good - but would the series be? Answer - YES!
A worldwide sigh of relief from viewers, creators and gamers alike could be felt - as episode 1 revealed an immersive, faithful yet original and completely mesmerising take on the classic.
In this bonus episode of Dragoncast, Jamie & Chris talk about the show and are joined by none other than Craig Mazin to hear how it feels to be the hottest property in television.
If you’d like to get involved in the podcast - just head over to twitter @dragoncast_pod or email dragoncast@daftdoris.com and leave us your Easter eggs, predictions and thoughts on the show.
Any support, whether it’s a follow, share, tattoo on your backside, is much appreciated.
Dragoncast is hosted by Jamie East along with the genius of Chris Mandle and is a Daft Doris Production - Dracarys.

I personally love the casting and screen writing of the show!
It will take me a long time to get over episode 3. What a gorgeous piece of TV!
Ur so right about why this is better than walking dead…i started the walking dead recently, im on season 7 now, and its getting boring. Its just alot of killing walkers. There is some human interest aspect to it and u get attached to characters/sad when they die, but it went on too many seasons. It dragged on. Also, ur right that last of us could have used any big/bad event and the main story of love and loss would remain intact. It doesnt need the infected like walking dead needs walkers.
Nice! I’m 3 episodes in now and loving it. Never played the game and didn’t know of its existence till trailers started appearing last year. Very excited about the rest of the series from what you’ve said Jamie. #NotOnTheStrawberries 🍓

Glad you enjoy it!
its so strange they never mention they replaced Kantemir Balagov and at least speak to why
Great pods by the way
Why did one of u get to see the whole season ahead of this interview but the other didnt?
@jamie East, is there a reason why you didn't do a podcast for each episode?

Not really - as we said in hindsight we probably should have done - but we were in the thick of the rewatch and the OA - plus it's not really Chris's fave genre - we deffo will for Part 2 though! Jx
