It's been about two years since Frank Darabont was unceremoniously fired from The Walking Dead due to budget cuts and his "strained" relationship with AMC brass, and, understandably, it doesn't seem as if time has healed any wounds—at all. In a new interview with Variety to promote his new TNT series Mob City, Darabont wasted no time before he labeled the AMC execs who gave him the boot "sociopaths":

None

Yikes. He gave a similar response to Rolling Stone when asked about his departure from the series, Pilates instructor metaphor and all:

None

His bitterness is pretty understandable—behind-the-scenes problems or not, he did spend a significant chunk of time developing the series. Who else thinks that Pilates instructor metaphor is oddly specific? Does that make his successor, Glen Mazzara, the Pilates instructor? Hmm.
