  • Beastie Boys: Here’s How Ad-Rock Could Get His Role In ‘Walking Dead’

    The Walking Dead is currently on hiatus so it’s the perfect time for Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys to pitch his ideas to Greg Nicotero.

    Ad-Rock, who’s known in real life as Adam Horowitz, is unabashed in his love for the epic zombie TV show.

    “I f—ing love that show,” Horowitz confessed. “Every moment of that show.… I would love to be in The Walking Dead.”

    But unlike other celebrities who prefer to be zombified, this Beastie Boy wants to remain alive, and maybe be friends with resident bad boy Daryl Dixon.

    In a recent Entertainment Weekly radio, the hip-hop legend said he want “to be like [Daryl’s] friend from the city. Like a distant relative—‘He’s my uncle’s friend from New York.”

    “I’d show up with like a PBS tote bag and something from Zabar’s—be like, ‘Hey, I got lox! Who wants bagels?’” Horowitz added.

    While the idea he’s trying to pitch is pretty farfetched, and would likely result in Ad-Rock getting killed by Carl just for the bagels, the singer can say that he has already claimed some notable roles.

    The Beastie Boy member currently has a small but notable role in Adam Sandler’s While We’re Young.

    But maybe Ad-Rock doesn’t need to play some character in The Walking Dead. Maybe he can play himself, like he was on tour in Atlanta or something when the zombie apocalypse hit and he had to fight for his right…to live (see what I did there?)

    Daryl Dixon, or even Rick Grimes, could be revealed as being a fan of the Beastie Boys.

    Ad-Rock would eventually find his way to Alexandria and they’ll have one big, noisy party to welcome him.  After all, even in the depressing world of The Walking Dead, a little party every now and then never hurts anyone.

    At least, not until the zombie horde overruns the community.

  • The Walking Dead Season 4 Has New Cast

    The Walking Dead Season 4 Has New Cast

    Season 4 of the AMC television series, ‘The Walking Dead’ premieres on Oct. 13. Given the carnage of Season 3, many of the  show’s most familiar cast members will not return. Laurie Holden (Andrea), Iron E Singleton (T-Dog), Michael Rooker (Merle) and Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori), are gone.

    Season 4 of ‘The Walking Dead’ may be the best yet. See why.

    Norman Reedus, will continue to play Daryl Dixon in the post-apocalyptic zombie series. He was, however,  not happy to see some of his cast-mates leave the show. “I hate it when one of the OGs goes,” he said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “It really bums me out. It’s taken three seasons for people to get wrapped up in certain characters. I think once you invest in those characters to have those characters go is just like ‘Ah, man.’ I think people are sort of left hanging on a string.”

    Reedus, admits that adjusting to new cast members has also been a bit of a struggle. He feels that after 3 years with the “OGs”, he finally got to a place where he understood his cast-mates and feels as though he’s been left high and dry by their departure. He refers to the writing techniques used for season 4 as “interesting”. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly Reedus said,  “It’s weird to delegate authority to newbies in the group and on set,” says Reedus. “It’s odd, to be honest. Starting the season, there’s certain techniques that the writers are using to integrate the storylines of other people and it’s interesting.”

    Despite being bummed about not having his old crew, he believes the unfamiliarity the new cast has with each other should play well for the show. The “fear”, as he puts it, reminds him of  season 1, “the fear is back…which is awesome to see people afraid again” he said.  “I think the internal fear has always been something hanging in the wind, and who’s gonna f— over who and who can you trust?”

    Last season The Walking Dead premiered with a massive 12 million views. The premiere of season 4 is expected to have an even bigger viewership. Like Norman Reedus said, it should be “interesting”.
