The world of Fallout is a lie.

The irradiated desert wasteland full of people struggling to survive isn't what would happen if the bombs we see in the fallout show dropped in the real world.

But the reality is so, so much worse.

Strap on your pit boys, loyal theorists as we explore the real fallout of this great war.

The Hello internet, welcome to film theory, the show that doesn't want to set the world on fire. He just wants to start, aflame in your heart.

So, believe it or not, but for as much as I love movies, I am also a lifelong gamer.

I did get my start editing for game theory, after all, and the games I love the most?

RPGs like Fallout. No joke, I had a cat named after the game director at Fallout's developer, Bethesda. RIP, Todd Howard, you were a good cat.

If you don't know, Fallout takes place in a post-apocalyptic world,

where nuclear war has destroyed most of human civilization.

The few survivors have banded together in makeshift cities,

and raider gangs pillaging the wasteland, or inside vaults designed to keep their residents safe. Now that right there is Vault 4's 3 foot thick lead casing,

strong enough to keep out the rads and the rids.

And all of that is wrapped in a pretty bow of a retro future aesthetic, dark humor, and over-the-top violence.

This is one franchise that does not pull its punches.

So why are we talking about this game franchise on film theory today?
