“The Last of Us” isn’t just a post-apocalyptic survival story; it’s a deep exploration of what it means to be human when the world around us is ending.

‌If you’ve experienced this story through the original video game or the HBO TV adaptation, the themes of empathy, humanity, survival, and hope resonate at every turn.

‌Whether you played the game, watched the show, or a fan of The Mimi and Greg Show, join us as we reflect on what it means to live, love, and hope.

‌Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen the show or played the game. You also don’t need to have done either to enjoy our conversation.
