Summary

We are off this week but bring you a recent episode from our Club spinoff podcast Extra Extra Hot Great.

From EEHG 292: Should You Shield Yourself From Fallout?

Even big Walt Goggins fans might not enjoy a series that takes his nose and overuses midcentury needle drops -- but most of the panel thinks you should stick with Fallout, the new post-nuclear-bomb dystopia from Prime based on a videogame. It's different from Silo in good ways, and wit plus world-building plus thoughtful casting goes a long way. Your Ask EHG questions led us to contemplate a live-action Muppet Show, a Sports Night reboot, Warriors gangs, and crossover pairs of TV friends; we named our Not Quite Winners and Losers; and the calendar's cruelest month saw US cruelly pitting characters named April against each other in a micro-Thunderdome. Radiation poisoning and Garthe Knight...just another day in the vault at Extra Extra Hot Great!

world. Descendants of the survivors are

to band together for protection, but no solution is perfect.

1:50.7

I don't know either of these series co-creators, who adapted it from the series of
