Summary
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!

| 0:00.0 | Well, I know that it can't have been easy for you up here, what with all the murder and the dirt. |
| 0:10.5 | This is the Extra Extra Hot Great Podcast, episode 292 for the April 13th, 2020 weekend. |
| 0:26.4 | I am Pip Boy Boy, David T. Cole, and I'm here with T. Tire Toilet, Sarah DeBunting. |
| 0:32.9 | The future is nah. |
| 0:35.8 | And basically the mother of the groom, Tara Ariano. |
| 0:39.0 | Everyone knows who I am, but do they know who they are? |
| 0:47.7 | Welcome to Extra Extra Hot Great for another week. |
| 0:52.3 | And thank you so much for being here. We love you. We treasure you. |
| 0:56.2 | We are thrilled to bring you this bonus episode. Our lead topic this weekend, Fallout, in which |
| 1:03.5 | 219 years after a nuclear attack obliterated Los Angeles and presumably the rest of the country and |
| 1:09.5 | world. Descendants of the survivors are |
| 1:11.9 | living in an elaborate network of underground fallout shelters, each governed by an overseer |
| 1:17.2 | to mix up the gene pool, eligible residents apply to be married to residents of neighboring |
| 1:21.6 | vaults and meet their matches only on their wedding day. Vault 33's Lucy McLean, Ella Pernell from Yellow Jackets, |
| 1:29.5 | is thrilled when her fiance, Monty, Cameron Cooperthwaite, turns out to be very hot, |
| 1:35.7 | if a little laconic, but neither here nor the delegation from Vault 32 is exactly what they |
| 1:41.6 | seem. On the surface, humans who weren't lucky enough to be born in the vaults have found ways |
| 1:46.8 | 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 |
| 1:55.2 | video games of the same name, but two of the executive producers here are Jonathan Nolan |
| 1:59.1 | and Lisa Joy, formerly of Westworld. |
| 2:01.9 | All eight episodes dropped on Prime Video on Wednesday, April 10th. We will avoid spoilers |
