Alas, it's all over, the last _fresh_ Ferals-related recording from us; yes, we still have our best of season two as a final release.

Yes, a whopping Peter-Jackson-worthy three …

It took 29 episodes, but it's finally come down to this, dear listeners. I'm quitting The Ferals Podcast. I know there's only one episode left to review - but I just can't take it anymore.

Back in the episode summary for S02E05 - I predicted that Lenny would be the character most likely to snap and kill everyone on the show. But now I see I was truly misguided - my imagination led astray and lulled into a false sense of security by a character whose early intentions seemed good, nice... Innocent. However... imagination, of course, ca…

As we creep closer to the end of The Ferals, it's beginning to really dawn on me... It's almost over. What the hell am I going to do when the show ends?

I just came up with the most awesome idea EVER. I mean - the best possible idea one could possibly ever come up with. ...a Hollywood action-blockbuster interpretation of The Ferals - with all the animals played by actual actors - directed by Michael Bay!
