In this episode of Screens In Focus, hosts Diana and Sam dive into Dead City Season 2, Episode 5. This week’s episode is audio only, as Sam is recovering from knee surgery and couldn’t do video. They discuss pivotal deaths, shifting alliances, and power plays. From Negan’s manipulation to Ginny’s emotional turnaround, and Perlie’s tension between obedience and justice, there’s a lot to unpack.

They spotlight a loyal listener’s theory about why Maggie may have left Hilltop, sparking a thoughtful conversation around her complex feelings tied to Negan’s past actions and her restless, exploratory spirit. Plus, a big identity reveal, poetic justice, and some juicy speculation in rapid fire. And to top it off — four recommendations across totally different genres: Hacks, Final Destination: Bloodlines, The Better Sister, and Karate Kid Legends.
