The Last of UsPhoto: Liane Hentscher/HBOWhile HBO’s The Last of Us might have spent most of its time reinforcing the fact that in any given apocalypse, human beings are the worst of all monsters—the show’s clickers were also downright terrifying too. Prepare yourself for the horrifying flashbacks that will come with this video of performers recording the vocalizations that characterize these zombie-like monsters.Recording clicker ADR may indeed be “the best job in the world,” the chance to use one’s talents in vocal…

The hit post-apocalypse drama stars Pedro Pascal as Joel alongside Bella Ramsey as Ellie.

Watching episode six of The Last of Us I was filled with dread. I’d played the game years ago (despite a very rational and healthy fear of all things zombie) and I knew where this episode was headed and what kind of fights Joel and Ellie would be forced into.

HBO’s The Last of Us has been very careful to stick to the source material for the most part — a smart but also rather logical choice, given how cinematic the original game was. The painstakingly crafted similarities between Naughty Dog’s survival shooter — which was already great — and HBO’s show have been a major part of why people were quick to call The Last of Us the best video game adaptation ever. But it’s by shifting away from the game in favor of telling new stories that The Last of Us has really been able to…
