Today's podcast continues our breakdown of The Last of Us on HBO with episode four. Episode four continues the story of Joel and Ellie. We get some relationship-building while on the road. Still, they detour into Kanas city. Very quickly, something is off inside the city without FEDRA presence, and bandits attack them. Joel and Ellie fight their way through the encounter. We learn a bit more about who these bandits are, but most of this episode feels like a setup for the next episode. The episode closes with Joel letting the dad jokes get him, and finally, we see the rugged survivalist begin to let down his guard.
