Fallout Review | Prime Video

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,520
Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,040
And you're listening to A Bite
of.

3
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,960
Where we take our current
favorite pop culture obsession

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,360
and we enjoy it 1 Nibble at a
time.

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,200
One giant radiated nibble.
A fallout.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,600
Yes, our.
Teeth are going to fall out and

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,920
then we can use them as bullets.
Spoiler.

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:31,840
Oh, all right.
So today we are going to talk

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,160
about the entire first season of
Prime Videos.

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,000
Fallout long-awaited.
For a lot of people it was Long

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,600
Road or to be adapted.
And it's finally here in a

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,800
serialized format, which I think
is the smart thing for them to

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,280
do.
Before we get into everything,

00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,040

you done?
Every time I say this, I'm just

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,560
like.
But The thing is, is that like,

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,400
right?
We like what if we have a new

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,680

that we have those things?

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,200
That is true.
Hi new listener.

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,560

You're in a rude for awakening.

and then we're also going to be
doing something on some Dead Boy

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,040
Detectives Netflix's new series.
I was like, was that a clue?

33
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,520
Because that was it.
No, that was it.

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,360
I think in my head I was going
to try to do a clue and then I

35
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,360
cut it and I was like that boy,
detective, we we're going to

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,600
have an episode come out when
that series drops as well.

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,600
Yeah.
So lot of things coming up.

Let's get into it.

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,640

Bomb drop spoilers.
The entire first season will be

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,200
spoiled in this episode.
Let us officially take a bite of

46
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,000
Fallout.
Created by Geneva Robertson

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,680
Dwarit and Graham Wagner.
Based on the video game series

48
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,520
of the same name, the Amazon
Prime show delves deep into

49
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,440
literally underground, an
alternative post apocalyptic

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Earth vault dweller Lucy sets
out on a journey in the above

51
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,600
ground, radioactive wasteland to
rescue her kidnapped father.

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,000
There she meets Brotherhood of
Steel Squire Maximus and undead

53
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,920
outlaw the Cool, A game of
Steel, the bacon with a severed

54
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,400
head, leads Lucy to discovering
devastating secrets about both

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,880
the world and her.
Family.

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,400
What more could you want?
Nothing will.

57
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,720
Ever be the same.
All right, as we said, spoilers.

58
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,440
That plot synopsis was a
spoiler, but heavy spoilers

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,280
going forward.
So what are your thoughts?

60
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,800
Were your thoughts on season one
of Fallout?

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,200
My thoughts on the season one of
Fallout are generally good.

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,880
No?
I I'm always drawn to.

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,720
I love dystopians.
I also love a strong female

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,960
lead.
As we all know, this has both of

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,840
them.
I also think they have some

66
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,720
really good action in here.
Some pretty gnarly gruesome

67
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,880
things happen as well, but they
also top it off with just a

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,400
little whip cream of humor.
So I think All in all it is a

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,280
delightfully enjoyable bite.
Yeah, I think it does a really

70
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,640
good job of balancing that
brutal nature of the apocalypse

71
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,680
and even 200 years after the
whole world went to shit, and

72
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,840
also making it like kooky.
It's the thing that is signature

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,960
with this property.
I'm not.

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,840
I didn't.
OK, here's the confession time.

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,680
I have played Fallout.
I've played a few of them.

76
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,920
I have not finished any of them.
I've played enough of them to

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,640
understand how the world works,
but that is one of the things

78
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640
that stuck out and I was hoping
that they would really hit on.

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,200
And they did.
Yeah, because it has that

80
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,440
retrofuturism.
You have to get that.

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,839
And then you also have to get
the soundtrack right.

82
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,680
And also this like juxtaposition
of like brutal and wacky.

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,280
Yeah, And they did it.
And I mean, I am one that really

84
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:28,800
doesn't enjoy gore.
And I'm necessarily saying that

85
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,840
there's gore in this, but there
are, you know, mangled feet,

86
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,440
things that you see, not just
one, you see it a couple of

87
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,840
times.
So there were a couple of things

88
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,120
in this that made me turn my
head away from the screen, but I

89
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,080
don't think that ruined it for
me at all.

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,600
One of the things that you
mentioned that I really love so

91
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,600
much is the retro futurism here.
So much of that sort of

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,840
anachronistic feel throughout
this where it feels like you're

93
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:56,480
set in the 50s and 60s, but yet
the technology doesn't

94
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,400
necessarily belong.
Yeah, You know, it's like the

95
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,200
look of the technology looks
like it fits, but as far as what

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,840
it can do, it's light years
beyond where we are.

97
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,800
It's like what they did in the
early, like 1900s where they

98
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,960
thought what the world would
look like in the 2000s.

99
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,040
And like, it is what it actually
looks like.

100
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,520
It's like, so this universe is
an alternate history, right, of

101
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,720
the US So after I would say
World War 2 right?

102
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,160
To me, if I'm wrong, it's like
the world kind of diverged into

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,680
this other path.
So like the nuclear family and

104
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,920
everything was like that.
Just kept going from there.

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,120
And I love that they kept that.
It's such a unique thing to do

106
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,760
and to set it in the future,
even from our time.

107
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,800
Exactly.
Yeah.

108
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,840
Yeah, I I agree.
I just think that it it was so

109
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,240
well done.
You know, I think especially in

110
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,280
the vault where Lucy is from, we
really see that sort of

111
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,600
wholesome looking nuclear family
thing throughout her entire

112
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,320
life.
Yeah.

113
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240
So let's let's talk about Lucy.
We're going to go kind of main

114
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,960
character by main character, and
most of these characters cross

115
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,080
paths with some of the other
ones.

116
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,560
This series was created by some
of the creators of Westworld, so

117
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,120
you knew that you were going to
be in for something that wasn't

118
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,080
what it seemed.
And that's kind of the whole

119
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,200
thing with Westworld.
Lucy, played by the amazing Ella

120
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,640
Pernault, Yellow Jacket's fame.
I loved her.

121
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,560
She favorite character up top.
I would say there's two There's

122
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,280
the ghoul, and I was going to
call her Ella and Lucy, or

123
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:31,760
Goosey.
They call her the show.

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,880
I I laughed every single time.
You just call her calling her

125
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Goosey.
Fantastic.

126
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,760
She knocked it out of the park.
She has this really cool ability

127
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,920
to she has this like naivete
about her, but there's the

128
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,040
underlying I know how to handle
myself and it's a really

129
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,800
interesting way to do a
character because she is naive,

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,760
especially on the surface world
and how the world works, but she

131
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,800
can kick ass and she does it
constantly.

132
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,760
Yeah, I the that's one of the
things that I loved about Lucy

133
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,840
is that she never feels like the
damsel in distress, right?

134
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:09,080
She is a person who gets in
distress but can get herself out

135
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,320
of them.
What's so interesting about this

136
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,200
character is that she was, you
know, she grew up in the vault.

137
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,040
So in the vault it's all about
sort of order.

138
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,360
And the golden rule is just
being kind and doing the right

139
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,040
thing all the time.
But yet she's also brought up

140
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,560
with the thought that our
mission in life is to one day

141
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,200
repopulate the earth, you know,
above ground.

142
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,480
And so she has that sense of
duty that is so sewn into the

143
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,720
fabric of who she is.
And so, you know, in the

144
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600
beginning when we first meet
her, she's like, well, it's time

145
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480
for me to marry a stranger that
I don't know because we just

146
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,720
have to recreate.
We have to procreate.

147
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,760
And that's about it.
So not a big deal.

148
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,600
And and she goes about her life,
very matter of factly in that

149
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,480
way because that's what she's
been taught and it's not in a

150
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,840
way that, like, she's been
brainwashed.

151
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,480
She's doing it for the greater
good.

152
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,920
Yeah, and you know it.
It goes back to like that's how

153
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,480
she was raised and this is what
she thinks has to happen.

154
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,840
This show does a really good job
of layering mysteries on top of

155
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,720
each other.
And even when you think you know

156
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,960
what it is or where it's going
to go because some of them are,

157
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,320
yeah, there's there's something
more to this vault.

158
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,000
But even those 3 interlocking
vaults, 3132 and 33, each one of

159
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,720
those has like a mystery.
So then it's fun to see how they

160
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,480
were able to do these mysteries
in her point of view and then

161
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,159
also in her brother's point of
view norm.

162
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,400
And it was very it was great.
It was great storytelling.

163
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400
They really made it to where I
just wanted to keep knowing what

164
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,720
was going to happen next and I
was entertained the whole time.

165
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,120
Yeah with Lucy's vault I
actually it it's one of those

166
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,800
things where it's like they I I
guess the best way to describe

167
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,640
their vault is like anytime like
when the people with the Raiders

168
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,560
came and killed everybody during
the wedding and everything they

169
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:01,240
just painted over all the blood.
Yeah like that is a perfect way

170
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,160
to like kind of encapsulate what
these vaults are about.

171
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,440
It's like we're just gonna put,
you know, fresh coat of paint

172
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,240
right over them.
Everything's fine.

173
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,200
It's OK right.
We just go on a new day.

174
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,920
We do the best we can after that
you know and and bringing up

175
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,040
that part of when the when
everyone in well not everyone

176
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,400
but a lot of 33 is is killed.
This scene is so, like,

177
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,560
bombastically gruesome, but at
the same time gives us.

178
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,000
And this isn't like, right?
Kind of in the beginning of

179
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,840
episode one or midway through
episode one, that wink, wink,

180
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,120
nudge, nudge, right where, you
know, people's faces are being

181
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,080
smashed into a cake or, you
know, the one character gets a

182
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,280
fork in her eye.
You know, it's like.

183
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,520
And she's fine.
It's right.

184
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,360
And she just wears like a sassy
little blue, you know, eye patch

185
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,320
over it to match her jumpsuit.
But I think that scene in

186
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,440
particular really shows how sort
of brutal this show is.

187
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,680
But yet it doesn't take itself
fully too seriously.

188
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,640
I think the show is very self
aware of what it's trying to do

189
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,960
and when you have that and you
have these creators at the helm

190
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:11,640
doing that, it makes it for it's
not bad, but in a good campy way

191
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,520
it's like this is purposeful.
Oh OK, I'm going to lean into

192
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,920
this and I like what you guys
are doing because then it it

193
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,360
allows you to kind of relax a
little bit while watching this.

194
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,120
I mean some of the stuff it's
like crazy, yeah.

195
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,240
But to that scene, I think there
are some scenes where I wish

196
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,400
they would have.
It's fast, the show is very fast

197
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,320
and there's a lot of things that
like happen and we just keep

198
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,160
going because there's a lot of
story to tell.

199
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,720
I do wish they would have sat
with some things a little bit,

200
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,200
especially with Norm, like
finding stuff, finding out stuff

201
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,520
about the vault.
I wish we kind of would have sat

202
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,440
with it a little more because it
was so quick.

203
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,160
And I think I turned to you at
one point and I was like, wait,

204
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,440
are those like the people from
Vault Tech frozen in this thing?

205
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,920
Like I was just kind of confused
at first, but that that's like

206
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,880
really my main criticism with
the show.

207
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,960
Other than that, I mean, I think
they did a great job with

208
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,200
showing how far they can go, but
also like, isn't that fun?

209
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,360
Yeah, it's funny though, because
I feel like my main criticism is

210
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,200
a little bit of the opposite of
yours in other scenes, whereas I

211
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,720
thought that they did some
things for too long.

212
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,280
I think in episodes three and
four, it lags a little bit

213
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,680
because it's kind of just like
Lucy sort of bumping into the

214
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:23,400
Ghoul and into Maximus a whole
bunch and like just kind of keep

215
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,360
swapping places.
So that felt a little drawn out

216
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,120
to me.
But it's funny like, so for

217
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,880
that, I wish they tightened it
up a little, but a lot of the

218
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,120
things in the vault, I wish they
let breathe.

219
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,560
Something about the vault, even
though it's underground and it

220
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:41,600
feels like so encapsulated and
so.

221
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Contained.
Claustrophobic and contained.

222
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,880
I wanted to be down there more.
Yeah.

223
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,320
I think those characters were
really quirky, them uncovering

224
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,240
the mysteries down there, seeing
their way of life down there.

225
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,800
That intrigued me.
Yeah, and I think it they did a

226
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,120
good job of, you know, this.
Again, there's a lot of

227
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,240
mysteries in the show that have
to, and I don't want to compare

228
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,120
to Lost, but I feel like it
feels like that almost where

229
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,840
it's like there's so much and so
many others and there's a

230
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,040
character from an actor from
Lost in this one, But it's like

231
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,360
you find out something and then
it creates more of a mystery.

232
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,960
And what they did with this is
that you don't know everything.

233
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,520
By the time the season one ends,
there's like 10 mysteries going

234
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,120
on in your fine with all of them
happening.

235
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,960
But you're like, wait, we never
found out how this happened or

236
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,520
where these people are or how
they got there.

237
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,080
And you don't realize that until
the end.

238
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,560
And you're like, Oh no.
They do, yeah.

239
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:39,640
They do a really good job of
this, I think in especially with

240
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,000
the character of the ghoul,
right.

241
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,960
So we see him where he is now.
We know that, you know, the

242
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,840
series starts off in the past
before the 1st nuclear bomb is

243
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,040
dropped, and we see Cooper.
And so we know that it's Cooper

244
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,920
and the ghoul are the same
person, but we don't know how he

245
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,120
has survived 200 years in the
future.

246
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,680
We don't know what he's doing
until the very last episode.

247
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,840
We don't know why he's going
through all this trouble.

248
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,680
And so still, although we now
know the reason for his journey,

249
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:13,360
we don't know how he got there
or where it's going to lead him.

250
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,440
Yeah, Walton Goggins.
Fantastic.

251
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,000
And I love how in the in the
games, ghouls look more like the

252
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,760
other ghouls we saw in the show,
where they're just like gross

253
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,280
falling apart, white eyes and
everything.

254
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,160
I like how they gave because
it's Walter Comments Goggins.

255
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:34,440
I like how they gave him more
swag, like he looks like a like

256
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,200
a cooler ghoul almost, because
he's our main character Ghoul,

257
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,480
right?
His story was probably the most

258
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,120
compelling to me because it sets
him up.

259
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,640
Even though we start the series
with him.

260
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,640
For a lot of it you almost feel
like he's the villain in the

261
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,520
way, like he could go either
way.

262
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,680
But the interesting thing about
it is our other two main

263
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:58,320
characters, I would say Maximus
and Lucy, you kind of feel like

264
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,480
by the end maybe they could go
either way as well.

265
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,280
So the moral compass in this
show, and I think with good

266
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,840
apocalyptic media, you can't
really tell, right?

267
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,320
It's like, there are no rules
anymore.

268
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,000
What are the rules you had?
You're going to have to do

269
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,960
things that you might not like.
And I think the goal was a cool

270
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,240
example of that.
Because yeah, he's terrifying.

271
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,120
He does things that you might
not agree with.

272
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,880
But in the end, when you find
out, like, I'm just trying to

273
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,160
find my family and it's like,
right?

274
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Oh, sweet baby, cool.
He's a ghoul with a non beating

275
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,360
heart.
I feel like with with these

276
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,560
three main characters, they
really are all a dichotomy in a

277
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,920
way, right.
So it you know and and just you

278
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,720
had said something about Chaotic
and I almost feel like Lucy is

279
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,760
neutral good, right.
The ghoul is chaotic good and is

280
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,040
like and you know Maximus is
like neutral chaotic or

281
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,640
something like I don't know the
the you know whatever they are

282
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,360
but I feel like they all sort of
Venn diagram into each other in

283
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,560
some way.
And you know I feel like with

284
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,280
Lucy we are automatically on her
side.

285
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,040
With the ghoul, we're not
necessarily on his side, but we

286
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,120
get there.
And with Maximus, I feel like

287
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,600
we're almost never on his side.
Yeah, yeah.

288
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,920
I mean, we'll get a little more
into Maximus.

289
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,640
I think we have some things.
Well, let's stay with the goal

290
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,120
for a minute before we move on.
But I agree.

291
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,680
I think it is easy to root for
Lucy.

292
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,720
I think you're supposed to.
But I love a complicated villain

293
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,080
and I don't really want to call
the ghoul villain.

294
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,720
I don't think he is either.
But like that's the best way I

295
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,200
could describe it anti.
Hero.

296
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,280
Maybe right.
He's doing his own thing.

297
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,760
Yes, you know, he he can.
He's immortal.

298
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,080
He can do whatever he wants.
And he just wants to do this one

299
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,440
thing.
He wants to find his family.

300
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,200
Let him find his family.
And if you think about it, for

301
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,320
centuries he's been looking for
his family, yeah.

302
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,840
Yeah, that's one of the biggest
mysteries is because, you know,

303
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,440
we see them.
You know, we we see Barb and

304
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,520
what she does, we see his, their
kid.

305
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,600
And it's like a loving family.
And you find out that she is

306
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,440
part of Altech and she's making
some of these horrible

307
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,520
decisions, but we don't know how
they got separated or what

308
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,320
happened, because when we see
the bomb drop, it's just him and

309
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,080
his kid.
So, like, did he leave his wife?

310
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,120
Is she already in a vault,
right?

311
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,400
It's very interesting and I
love, love that story.

312
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,280
I'm like, I am very compelled by
this story here.

313
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,920
Like give me all that juicy,
like kind of like, are they will

314
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,080
they?
Won't they like what's going?

315
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,160
To happen and and the
interesting thing from in the

316
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,760
transformation of Cooper to the
ghoul is that he starts off as

317
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,640
like the all American hero and
then he becomes the outlaw he's.

318
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,320
Pretty much like the real face
of Voltec.

319
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,760
Yeah, like he's the one that
comes up with the thumbs up and

320
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,440
everything.
He is the pit boy.

321
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,640
Right.
But it's like, unbeknownst to

322
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,480
him, he's then he's become the
face of something that he'd

323
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,920
actually doesn't agree with,
right?

324
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:59,280
But so it's like, how did this
fantastically happy, you know,

325
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,480
love, lover of life human,
become this undead outlaw?

326
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:08,040
You know, I think it's, I
obviously don't know that's.

327
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,000
The question mark that we still
need to answer.

328
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,480
I'm very curious to see how they
do that and I hope they do get a

329
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,000
Season 2 because I believe they
said that now they're going to

330
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,440
be shooting in California
because they got approved for

331
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,760
like tax write offs and stuff.
So it's like, is that like a

332
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,079
hint that it's already going to
be I was?

333
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:25,000
Going to say, is it confirmed?
I hope so.

334
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:26,839
I hope so because I'll watch it.
I think by.

335
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,119
Now as well.
Yeah, I'm.

336
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,680
I think by now you guys can tell
that we we liked it.

337
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:36,040
It's enjoyable, but I think it's
one of those things where Howard

338
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,160
the ghoul, prior to becoming
Ghoul, hearing his wife in that

339
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:46,080
meeting towards the end and
finding out that her vision of

340
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,400
the best future that they could
possibly get for their kid is to

341
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,360
wipe out all the competition and
make sure that they can control

342
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:57,720
everything that happens.
And that's, you know, not for

343
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,240
lack of better term.
It's like a big bomb to go off

344
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,280
in your life to where it's like,
I thought we were doing this

345
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,600
together and like, I don't think
he knew his wife was that high

346
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,880
up in Voltec, which is kind of
scary.

347
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,040
The best No.
Yeah, you you it it it really

348
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,480
does paint that picture of you
sometimes truly don't know who's

349
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,880
in your bed with you.
Dun Dun Dun.

350
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,320
You just see me come out with
like a pit boy got a.

351
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,120
Pit Boy.
And it's funny because I feel

352
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:31,840
like when she starts wearing the
pit boy is when things start

353
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,080
getting serious for him, because
it just feels so out of

354
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,560
character to him about her.
Well, because we don't even get

355
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,960
that vision of her right until
like that technology starts

356
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,600
coming around and she really
dives into work because it seems

357
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,800
like, you know, she was working
on things and she was so good at

358
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,160
it that she rose up.
And so once that switch happens,

359
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,200
I do feel like our feelings and
the way that they were

360
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:57,280
portraying that character
shifted a little bit.

361
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,480
You know, this Fallout itself,
the series and the game is very

362
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,920
much like a satirical and a
commentary on, like these giant

363
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,080
corporations literally wanting
to run the world.

364
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,960
Which I do feel like it's really
funny because it's like, again,

365
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,920
we're having this show where
it's like it's on Amazon, like

366
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,360
totally.
Well, that's, I was just

367
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:22,320
thinking that, right, Amazon,
who now you can make emergency

368
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,840
calls through, They can get the
passcode to your garage door to

369
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,120
leave packages.
There's going to be drones, you

370
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:30,640
know.
Tiny homes on Amazon now.

371
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,240
Next, It's going to be false.
Yeah, definitely.

372
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,560
And and it is a little scary.
And so there, I feel like

373
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,440
there's even still a mystery
there with Barb because when

374
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,320
she's in that final meeting with
the other corporations, there's

375
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,880
sort of a shadowy figure up
above them.

376
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,920
She.
Looks at them a few.

377
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,680
Times we don't know who that is,
so I so oh man.

378
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,840
So for a first season of a show,
right?

379
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,880
They gave us enough answers to
satisfy us, but left us with

380
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,880
enough questions to wanting
more, right?

381
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,920
And like, that's that's great
planning, right?

382
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,000
Because it's like, oh, now we
found out that Barb is the one

383
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,120
that, like, probably made that
rule to not allow dogs into the

384
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:13,480
vault and everything.
And then she looks up at

385
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,360
somebody as if they're the boss.
And it's like.

386
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,480
OK, so now she's trying to
please somebody else.

387
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,880
And I believe the ghoul had said
something about, like there's

388
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,200
always somebody that's in
charge.

389
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,080
He said something like that
towards the end.

390
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,560
And I feel like that's who we're
going to eventually start seeing

391
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,880
is like those shadowy figures.
The Big Bad?

392
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,320
Before we kind of leave the
ghoul conversation, how did you

393
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,640
feel about his look?
I thought that his look like you

394
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,120
said, I think that he did stick
out from the rest of the ghouls

395
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:46,880
that we see in the show.
I think for the most part his

396
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,640
look was cool.
It was very much a like an

397
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,200
emaciated muscle suit on top of
a skull with no nose.

398
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,400
It did give me like red Skull
vibes a little bit.

399
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,840
And a little bit of like the
mask.

400
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,240
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought it looked great.

401
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:06,040
You know, even for them having
to, like, take out his nose and

402
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,000
almost every shot, I thought it
looked good.

403
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,160
I liked it.
You could still tell who the

404
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,760
actor was, though, because like,
when you saw him not as the goal

405
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,840
in the beginning.
I'm like, oh, I didn't really

406
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,280
like.
I guess I just didn't put

407
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,200
together that it was him.
But as soon as I saw his face,

408
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,840
I'm like, those are your
cheekbones.

409
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,280
Yeah, those.
And his teeth.

410
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,640
It's like, oh, that's Goggins.
If I've ever seen Goggins,

411
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,240
that's Goggins.
All right, so let's move on to

412
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,480
the Brotherhood of Steel knight
Titus Wink.

413
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:40,760
Maximus, His OK by the end.
I liked him.

414
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,120
The journey to the end, I was
like not sure how I was supposed

415
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:49,400
to feel about him.
And I think that was how they

416
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,560
wanted you to feel almost,
because each one of these

417
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,200
characters gives us a different
perspective of the world and he

418
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,840
really grew up in it.
You know, you have the goal that

419
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,280
centuries growing up in it, so
he can kind of do whatever he

420
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,080
wants.
But having this kid that lost

421
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,200
his home even after the
apocalypse, and then having to

422
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,760
go through the Brotherhood, but
still like at the bottom of the

423
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:16,560
barrel and having to, like, take
advantage of opportunities that

424
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,520
were presented to him to rise
up, it's like, is that a bad

425
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,240
thing in this world?
I think it's a bad thing because

426
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,080
I don't think we should do that
right as a society now.

427
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,000
But is that wrong in that
society?

428
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,920
You know what I mean?
I it's it's hard to balance, I

429
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,320
think, because when we have
someone like Lucy who's always

430
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,760
doing the right thing for the
right thing, and it feels like

431
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,200
the ghoul is doing sometimes the
wrong thing for the right thing,

432
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,960
whereas Maximus is doing the
wrong thing for himself.

433
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:48,760
Right.
Right and so.

434
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,400
I think generally he wants to do
the right thing, but I think

435
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,080
it's like, how does he how he's
getting there?

436
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:01,600
I think the word that best sums
up Maximus is that he's a coward

437
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,960
and whenever he he is truly
faced with a tough decision, he

438
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,200
will take the easy way out to
save himself.

439
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,600
Yeah, there's there's plenty of
opportunities where they're

440
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,200
like, did you do this?
Oh, you killed the leader of the

441
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,200
new Californian Republic, blah,
blah, blah.

442
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,520
And he's just kind of like, no,
OK, just kind of accepts it and

443
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,840
it's like.
Yeah, and so that's the thing.

444
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,280
The his journey was I really
didn't like him.

445
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,200
And then I started to like him.
And really mainly when he was,

446
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,000
he and Lucy were paired up
together and they were involved

447
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,760
four and getting to know each
other.

448
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,560
And he had those really funny
scenes where he was eating

449
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,680
caviar and oysters and he wanted
his cock to explode.

450
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Like those are sorry for any
children in the car.

451
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,040
This is an explicit podcast.
Those were my favorite moments

452
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,520
with them because it was almost
like the two characters of Lucy

453
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,040
and Maximus flipped a little
bit.

454
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,960
Were like Maximus got to play a
little bit and he got to be

455
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,640
naive and just enjoy the
luxuries of the vault.

456
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,960
And Lucy was just like, this is
not good.

457
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,440
I'm just running around
something.

458
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,640
'S wrong here.
I'm going to level 12, yeah.

459
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,360
I really liked him.
And the whole thing of, like,

460
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:12,640
them talking about sex was so
funny to me.

461
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,040
Yeah, it was so funny.
He was like, you know, sometimes

462
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,440
it just gets large.
And then it like, it's like a

463
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,360
pimple.
It gets big and it pops and it's

464
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,440
like.
And she's like, no, that's

465
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,600
supposed to happen.
And it.

466
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,880
Was and he's like.
It's bad.

467
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,840
I'm in the Brotherhood of Steel.
It's bad.

468
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,600
But so in there I started to
really like him again.

469
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,800
And then he made some really
shitty decisions at the end.

470
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,560
Yeah, I mean, I think it's one
of those.

471
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,560
It makes you think, right.
I think it's supposed to be

472
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,200
uncomfortable, I guess because
it's like, I wouldn't do that.

473
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,840
But then again, I'm not like in
that situation, so like, what

474
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,560
would I do, you know?
I am glad, though, that we did

475
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,400
find out that he did not put the
Razors in those boots.

476
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,560
Yes, because that that was like
the first moment where I was

477
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,280
like, oh, this guy is shitty.
That's your best friend.

478
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,760
But he kind of accepted the good
outcome from that, right?

479
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,080
And just, like, kept going.
Yeah.

480
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,240
So take it as you will.
How did you feel about the power

481
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,440
armor?
I thought it was really cool.

482
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,240
I think that you know for their
power source to be in their back

483
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,320
as a design flaw, but I think.
Video games.

484
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:23,200
Right.
Totally.

485
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,840
I I think though, that it really
gave him the anonymity that he

486
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,640
needed and the power that he
always wanted.

487
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,200
How about you?
What did you think?

488
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,520
I liked it.
I think it looked great.

489
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,880
I remember seeing some early set
photos of it and I was like that

490
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,440
kind of looks like a toy, but
then imposed and everything and

491
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,320
adding the stuff.
It looks fantastic.

492
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,000
I read a interview somewhere
where they have like 3 different

493
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,080
types of suits.
It's like the one that you see

494
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,080
them like moves.
There's like a shell.

495
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,680
One or clamshell I think they
might have said, where it like

496
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,480
actually opens up and you get
into it.

497
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,840
And then the one that he was in
when you would see him walking,

498
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,640
it's only half.
So like it's just his legs and

499
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,360
then the top, which is so funny,
he said.

500
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:08,280
I think he had to raise his arms
so that way they didn't drag on

501
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,840
the ground because it was so
big.

502
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,840
That's hilarious.
But I loved it because it's such

503
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,880
an iconic thing for Fallout.
Like it's even on the covers and

504
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,640
everything.
I think they got it right.

505
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,520
I think The Brotherhood of Steel
is is an interesting dynamic.

506
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,200
Yeah, I was just going to ask,
what do you think their deal is?

507
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,280
Well, I mean it's a mix between
like the military and religion,

508
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,480
you know what I mean?
And like monarchy and

509
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,600
everything.
So it's like Fallout is about

510
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,360
the factions.
Fallout is about what happens to

511
00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:38,600
the world when you take
everything away and how is it

512
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,920
built up, what remains from
there and is here now.

513
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,360
And I think it's interesting to
see how some of these groups

514
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,720
will kind of morph from other
ones or organizations and what

515
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,720
they are.
It's it's very much so.

516
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,120
We learned that Barb and the big
corporations are all going to

517
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,760
use their vaults for different
experiments, right?

518
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,600
It's terrifying, like human
testing, without them really

519
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,920
even knowing.
But I feel like the whole series

520
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,640
is really a commentary not only
on capitalism, but what happens

521
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,920
when you break humankind down.
How will these groups come back

522
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,800
together and what will they
create?

523
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Is religion a natural thing that
we gravitate towards?

524
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,120
Is evil something that we
naturally gravitate towards?

525
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,120
Or is doing good for the sake of
good?

526
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,320
What?
Having blinders on and just

527
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,400
being like I'm safe and sound.
I don't care what's happening.

528
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Yeah, so again, it's it's really
interesting thing of looking at

529
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,800
three these three characters,
they really give us a lot to say

530
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,800
about humanity as a whole.
I think that's one of the

531
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:46,440
reasons why post apocalyptic
apocalypse, whatever is so in

532
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,440
right now but also has always
been a thing like sci-fi and all

533
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,840
of that zombie stuff is because
it really lets us experience

534
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:58,960
humans at like everything
stripped away what are we going

535
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,160
to do?
And we always root for the

536
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,640
people that are trying to do the
right thing, but having to see

537
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,880
them make these decisions of
like, I don't think that's the

538
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,000
right thing to do, but they're
trying to do it for the good

539
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,600
reason and they have no other
choice.

540
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,480
It's it's funny.
It's like, I would say we have a

541
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,840
few, like, apocalyptic things
happening.

542
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,160
It's like Mad Max is coming back
with Fiorosa.

543
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,680
We have The Last of Us and we
have Fallout, and they're all so

544
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,440
different.
And I like that each one of

545
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,000
these can tell a different
thing, but kind of feel

546
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,400
familiar.
Absolutely, Absolutely.

547
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960
Yeah.
I I think they all share traits.

548
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,160
It just portrayed in a very
different way.

549
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,560
But I think that's something
that we always think about in

550
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,800
media, right?
Is that where does humanity lead

551
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,000
us?
What does it mean to be human,

552
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,200
and how?
We who I am right.

553
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,480
And and and and The thing is is
like, you know, you have to

554
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,240
wonder, like when when I watch
this show, I really do wonder.

555
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,400
Like would I be more like Lucy
or would I be more like Maximus,

556
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,600
You know?
And then you have to wonder if

557
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,800
there are people out there who
are like, yeah, I'd be like

558
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,760
Barb, I destroy the world to
save my family.

559
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,320
And and you know, who do we see
ourselves in in in these things?

560
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,240
And sometimes, maybe that's an
answer we don't want to share

561
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,320
with people.
No, not at all.

562
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:18,560
I would rather be CX404.
I'd rather be the dog because I

563
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,360
just.
I have to.

564
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,600
I don't know the dog actor's
name, Unfortunately, I try to

565
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,360
look for it.
That's the unfortunate thing

566
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,360
about watching all of this stuff
beforehand.

567
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,640
It's.
Not everything is released,

568
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:28,960
yeah.
I need an article with it.

569
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,760
I love this dog so much, very
happy.

570
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,400
So what I remember in the games,
there was a dog, believe the

571
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,320
dog's name was Dog Meat, but I'm
very happy that this dog is like

572
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,720
out of harm's way.
We'll just go with whoever's

573
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,360
trying to get back to his owner
and he's good.

574
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,560
Yes, luckily in this world there
are injections that if you get

575
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,200
almost mortally wounded, you get
a needle and then you're fine.

576
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,080
Yeah, so we do see the dog get
stabbed at one point, off

577
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,280
screen, off screen, but then
comes roaring back to life.

578
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,920
Thanks to the pool, yes.
And I feel like so much in these

579
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,920
movies, we really should be
looking to the dog on how to act

580
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,440
in an apocalypse.
Well, I mean, the dog kind of

581
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,680
just didn't have much loyalty.
He just went with whoever was

582
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,920
trying to get to that.
As long as they got him to his

583
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,680
owner's head.
That's all they cared about.

584
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,240
OK, well, let's talk about the
dog and Doctor Will Zig.

585
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,240
Yes, a little bit.
Who is Doctor Will Zig?

586
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,760
Won't Zig.
Who is Michael Emerson?

587
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,920
Lost alum.
I love that character so much.

588
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,680
His character was surprising to
me.

589
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:42,080
I really liked him.
I liked that he kept CX and he

590
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,520
was like training him on his own
and he like created a little

591
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,960
home inside his thing while he
worked in Cold Fusion.

592
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,760
But come to find out, it's like
he's a good guy.

593
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,040
He's like a mole in Vault TEC.
Right.

594
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:58,320
And he he knew that when all
else failed, he had injected

595
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,920
that cold fusion into his neck,
told Lucy.

596
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,760
Just get my head to her.
That's all you have to do.

597
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,760
Yeah, now that's bravery.
Seriously, knowing that most

598
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,000
likely you're going to die and
someone's going to have to chop

599
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,920
your head off and you going
well, this is to free mankind

600
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,840
from capitalism.
My God.

601
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,880
But that's like, where this,
like, whole thing of, like,

602
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,520
brutal and wacky comes from.
Is that, like, she does it?

603
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,240
Yeah.
She's like, well, I have to get

604
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,440
my dad back.
I have the OK.

605
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Just.
And then, as the show

606
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,400
progresses, we're just like
seeing the head slowly decompose

607
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,040
over time.
It ends up in the stomach of an

608
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,040
abomination.
It gets thrown up.

609
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,600
It's in a knapsack.
It's all over the place.

610
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,240
It's hilarious.
And I love how, like, it's just

611
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,320
like an accessory.
Like nobody is grossed out by it

612
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,680
and they're all just like
holding it and like, just

613
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,120
whatever with it.
It's so funny.

614
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,640
So, Speaking of Abominations,
the world itself, let's talk

615
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,200
about the world of Fallout
specifically.

616
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,000
California.
New California.

617
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,600
New California Shady Pines.
Where's the shady sands?

618
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,200
There you go.
How did you feel about the

619
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,560
monsters, mutations, the
abominations, the world itself?

620
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,400
I think the world itself was
really intriguing.

621
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,160
You kind of didn't know what was
around any corner, because it

622
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,040
almost feels like anything could
be a danger, right?

623
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,120
There are ghouls.
There are just other humans,

624
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,400
There are other humans that eat
other humans.

625
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,880
There are abominations.
And so danger just really there

626
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,800
are murder robots, right?
Voiced by Matt Barrett, which is

627
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,200
even better.
When I tell you, as soon as I

628
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,560
heard his voice, I went Is that
Matt Barry?

629
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,920
And then he went New York City.
Did he really?

630
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,280
No.
Shut up.

631
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,400
Snip.
Snip pretty much did do that

632
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,480
though.
Yeah, I loved it.

633
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,920
I that's one of the things that
I remember of the games is I was

634
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,920
more of a Skyrim person.
So Bethesda Game Studios is the

635
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,360
one that created this and
they're also involved in this.

636
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,600
That is one of the things I
remember from Fallout is being

637
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,720
terrified other places because
like the pit boy will also tell

638
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,560
you like when radiation's really
high, so you have to monitor a

639
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,720
lot of things.
It's an RPGI, remember being

640
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,960
terrified of cockroaches a lot.
And the ghouls, like, there are

641
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,040
certain instances in that game,
and I'm hoping we do see it in

642
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,840
this.
Maybe not because this takes

643
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,840
place after the game series, but
where you would, it really felt

644
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,560
like a zombie game because it
was just terrifying.

645
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,320
And then there would be like
some joke from a robot and it's

646
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,040
like, what is happening,
Everybody's lost their minds.

647
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,120
I mean, it really is.
I feel like not only the people

648
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,720
but just the world itself is off
center.

649
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:46,320
Everything is wrong and so it's
cuckoo and and and I think that

650
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,080
it's one of those things where
it feels like you can't trust

651
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,960
anyone or anything.
And so that's what as a viewer

652
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,480
makes it a little like nerve
wracking to watch.

653
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,040
You never know.
You know, if the person that

654
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,680
they're talking to is friend or
foe.

655
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,760
Right, The abomination.
Terrifying.

656
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,280
I believe it's much bigger in
the series than in the game.

657
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,840
Which one?
The bear or the?

658
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:13,080
Not the abomination, the the one
that's in the water, the mouth,

659
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,040
the fingers.
I don't like that.

660
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,000
It's an axolotl.
Yeah, look like a giant axolotl.

661
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
But it's not.
It's like made of human clumps

662
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,440
of parts is terrifying.
You know how?

663
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,880
People don't like the word
moist.

664
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,080
I feel like I don't like the
word clumps.

665
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,480
I thought you're going to say
axolotl.

666
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,639
No, no.
I love Axolotl.

667
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,800
That's great.
They're silly, but no clumps.

668
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,199
Oh really?
Just the way you said it.

669
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:41,560
Clumps, clumps.
Flesh, human flesh, gathered

670
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,679
together and like.
No.

671
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,400
Do you think like could you be
in a vault?

672
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,639
Like would you like?
Oh, I would be the best fault.

673
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,080
I would be so good at being in
the.

674
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,280
Vault.
You would be like Bob's buds and

675
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,560
just be like a brain and still
be happy.

676
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,560
I'm in a vault, guys.
What are you doing today?

677
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,480
I'm at the.
I'm planning the activities.

678
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,760
Yeah, no, I would be more than
happy in a vault.

679
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,520
I mean, come on.
Baking games.

680
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,760
Friendship parties.
Delightful voting.

681
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,040
I don't think I could do it.
I can maybe I could do it for a

682
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,760
solid like year, maybe a little
more, but like, I don't know.

683
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:19,960
I just, I don't know if I can do
it.

684
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,600
Like, it would really depend on
the vault that I'm in, like

685
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,080
Lucy's.
If it wasn't connected to

686
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,160
anybody else and they were
perfectly safe, I could probably

687
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,800
do it.
But it's too risky.

688
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,560
Man, I don't know.
That you think that's more risky

689
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,600
than being on the surface in the
wasteland?

690
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,840
Well, I would probably just like
Perish in a second, like.

691
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,120
Oh no, I would perish in a
second.

692
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,400
You'd be an outlaw.
I'd probably be barbed, let's be

693
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,960
honest.
Well, again, you never know who

694
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,880
you're sleeping next to.
Back to the world.

695
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,200
Oh, sorry.
Sidetracked.

696
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,040
I thought it looked great.
I thought it looked just enough

697
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,080
apocalyptic without it looking
like not apocalyptic.

698
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,120
Well, no.
The thing is, is that I feel

699
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:10,320
like so right the the vault is
really still in that 50s sixties

700
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,880
era, right?
But above ground is a full

701
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,400
western.
Well, it's hard to tell, right?

702
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,280
Because it's like completely
Sandy and.

703
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,680
Yeah, just.
But like, that's the vibe that

704
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,000
it gives me.
It's feels.

705
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,960
They feel very different from
each other.

706
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,520
Well, I don't think it helps
that the ghoul looks like

707
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,000
straight from a western either.
He is Clint Eastwood.

708
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,080
He has a toothpick in his mouth
sometimes.

709
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,800
And.
He's like a great partner.

710
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,840
The special effects in this
fantastic like there wasn't a

711
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,760
moment where I was like, that's
fake.

712
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:40,440
You know what I.
Mean.

713
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,960
No, I agree.
Nothing took me out of it at

714
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,400
all.
If I had to pick one of my

715
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:53,440
favorite scenes, I would have to
say the organ harvesting thing

716
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,240
with the snips, Snips, the
ghoul, that whole just like

717
00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:00,200
fight scene every is just
fantastic.

718
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,520
Her having to make those
decisions of like let all these

719
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,200
people out.
I want you to let these people

720
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,520
out.
And they're even trying to tell

721
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,040
her, like, you don't want these
people out.

722
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,000
So it's like her again, being
naive and trying to do the good

723
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,240
thing.
It's like, you don't know this

724
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,800
world.
Lucy, you can't.

725
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,640
You can't.
But it's just fantastic.

726
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,920
I think the fighting, the
weapons remind me so much of the

727
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,320
game.
The way they look, the way they

728
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,600
work, shooting teeth, shooting
baby doll parts.

729
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,760
Oh yeah.
Fantastic.

730
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,880
I really, really, really love
The Pit Boys.

731
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,720
I loved.
It's like, it's hilarious

732
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:33,640
because I'm watching, going
like, I would love something

733
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,520
like that, but it's like I have
a Fitbit, Yeah, smart watch.

734
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,960
So it's like I do have that in a
much more compact fashion, but I

735
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,120
love how big.
And but it doesn't look

736
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,880
futuristic.
No, right, exactly.

737
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,720
But it's again, it's the I loved
the designs in this and I know

738
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:52,000
it stems from the video game,
but it's this big chunky thing

739
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,680
on their wrist.
It looks so high tech, but with

740
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,480
the.
Jumpsuits.

741
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,840
Yes, but it's only the screen is
only in like that MS-DOS green

742
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,400
and you know that.
Typical.

743
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:02,880
Like sci-fi.
Yeah.

744
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,040
It's like you guys are so
advanced you can travel at

745
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,760
lightspeed, but it's just green
text, right?

746
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,000
You could build a giant piece of
armor that can fly with jet

747
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,360
packs in his hands.
It's only 8 picks, 8 bit.

748
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:14,800
Exactly, exactly.
Yeah.

749
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,680
It can track.
It can, you know, track things

750
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,400
for miles and miles away.
It's so great.

751
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,320
It's so good.
OK, so let's kind of like some

752
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,320
of the lingering questions we
have here, right?

753
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:32,840
We have Hank McClain, who is
Lucy's dad, who I think and as

754
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,760
it goes on, you can kind of tell
like there's something not right

755
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,800
with him.
I did not expect the three

756
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,640
interconnected vaults for one of
them to just house executives

757
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,800
from vault tech.
And the biogenically stored

758
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,800
bodies, or.
Whatever.

759
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,400
And they can just wake up, I
guess, whenever they've set the

760
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,240
time or whatever.
Terrifying and fantastic.

761
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,680
He's an asshole.
I don't like him.

762
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,440
I don't like what they did to
her mother.

763
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:02,800
I don't like what he did in the
end, but man, fantastic, yeah.

764
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,440
I so good.
I feel like there's I I I'm

765
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,440
interested to see how much more
his story is connected to the

766
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,480
Ghouls family not being with him
anymore.

767
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,760
I feel like Hank had a lot more
to do with that than we know.

768
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,760
Oh, probably.
Yeah, yeah.

769
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,840
I mean Kyle McLaughlin, sci-fi
fame.

770
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,640
His.
He's fantastic in this, yeah.

771
00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:28,360
I I was so happy to see him in
this.

772
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:33,720
I have to admit that I did not
first experience Kyle McLachlan

773
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:37,000
in Twin Peaks.
I first experienced Kyle

774
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,480
McLachlan in Sex in the City.
I thought you were going to say

775
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,200
Dune.
No, the original.

776
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:42,760
Dune.
No.

777
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:49,480
In Sex in the City, as you know,
the McDougal, spoiler alert,

778
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,560
Charlotte's Charlotte's first
husband.

779
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,320
And so that's how I've always
known him.

780
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,520
And then I saw him in
Portlandia, where he's the mayor

781
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,800
of Portland.
He is, Yeah.

782
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,680
But.
Wasn't he also in Flintstones?

783
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,200
Oh, he played The Dirty boss.
That's right, Black.

784
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like he's been everywhere.

785
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,080
Came in Halle Berry.
She was in Flintstones.

786
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,520
God I need.
To rewatch this, it's like a

787
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,920
sexy secretary or something
like.

788
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,040
From Sexy Stone Age Secretary to
Catwoman, I'm.

789
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,120
Pretty sure that's Halle Berry.
I think it is.

790
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,360
I don't know.
Somebody will correct us.

791
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,720
That's not a kids movie, by the
way, The Flintstones.

792
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:32,840
And that was a movie that my mom
brought my friends and I to see

793
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,080
as kids for my birthday.
I remember our parents putting

794
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,800
them on and we're just like.
This movie's about adultery and

795
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,480
also capitalism in the Stone
Age.

796
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,440
Everything's about capitalism.
But so, you know, his decisions

797
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,240
and him doing everything, it's
like, OK, he's in Vault Tech.

798
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:48,680
We're going to know more about
that, right?

799
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,600
And one of the last scenes we
see in season one is him looking

800
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,760
to a new town, which I'm going
to assume is New Vegas, which is

801
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:01,320
a big, a lot of people in the
Fallout universe have like,

802
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,440
wanted that thing to be adapted
because it's crazy and insane.

803
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,120
So I'm assuming that we're going
to go there in Season 2 and be

804
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,640
really interesting.
I'm thinking, I mean, I'm

805
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,640
thinking we'll probably get some
new characters.

806
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,480
Yes, well, we would have to,
right, because we lost quite a

807
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,800
few in this one.
Yeah, I was a little upset that

808
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,280
we wrote that we lost Moldover.
Yes, who?

809
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,200
I really like to fantastic.
I thought.

810
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:31,000
You know Sarita Chaudhry who is
in the Sex and the City follow

811
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,080
up series and just like it all
comes.

812
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,040
This all episode is actually
about sex and city.

813
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,760
I'm really she's.
Fantastic.

814
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,120
And she was so great in this.
By the end of it, I was really

815
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,080
rooting for her.
Like, I don't actually know if

816
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,680
they're good, but I'm like, I
want you to be good.

817
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:53,000
OK, I have a question.
OK, yeah, so we know that

818
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,800
Moldaver knows who McLean is,
right?

819
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,440
So when she walked into Vault 33
on the day of the wedding, he

820
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,840
knew who she was.
Yeah, that's why he made the

821
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,120
decision he did when he put his
daughter in that thing and was

822
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,960
like take them, because he also
knew some of those people were

823
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,280
also from.
Yeah.

824
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:20,440
The cryopods or whatever like.
He had to have known that 32 was

825
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,720
destroyed.
Yeah.

826
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,760
He knew everything.
They knew all of it.

827
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,160
And it's a it's.
I hope we see more of Norm.

828
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,960
I'm very concerned for him.
I want Norm to be safe and sound

829
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,440
from Disney Channel fame.
Sorry.

830
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,360
Yes.
Yep.

831
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,000
Up to now, very surprised by his
performance.

832
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,720
Not that I, like, didn't expect
him to do good.

833
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:41,440
It's just been so long since
I've seen him.

834
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,720
I was like, Oh my God, he's
grown up.

835
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:44,720
Yeah, and he's killing it.
He's an adult now.

836
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,520
That character was really
interesting, who really, truly

837
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,960
started off as a coward, but
really has come into their own.

838
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,840
And I I'm actually looking
forward to seeing when Norm and

839
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,360
Lucy come together again.
Yeah, I hope they do come back

840
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,400
together.
I have a feeling that they're

841
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,760
going to come together and
they're going to be so happy to

842
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,800
see each other and then he's
going to get killed or something

843
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,520
like that.
No, I don't want them to.

844
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,640
I mean, I do feel like it's
going to be a while before they

845
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,440
see each other.
So I feel like we're going to

846
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,120
get a lot of the vault stuff
from Norm's point of view.

847
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,160
And then Lucy and the ghoul are
going after her father.

848
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,240
Yeah.
And then Maximus is now like an

849
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,680
actual night instead of faking
it.

850
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,480
And I don't know really where
his story leads, but maybe to

851
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,520
find them as well.
I'm, I don't know.

852
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,200
I his story.
I'm not sure where it's going to

853
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,680
go.
Obviously the Brotherhood is

854
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,040
going to be involved, but I have
no idea.

855
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:42,280
My question is, is the
Brotherhood going to shut down

856
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,240
the power source?
No, now they have unlimited

857
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:46,960
power.
But they've given it to

858
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,760
everyone, right?
Well, that source gave put the

859
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,760
lights on.
And they could just easily take

860
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,880
it out.
But that's what I mean.

861
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,960
Are they going to control it?
Are they going to stop it?

862
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:56,520
Yeah.
Oh yeah.

863
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,600
Bad news. 100% You think that
that old freaking Friar looking

864
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,120
guy that like makes people kiss
his hand and everything is going

865
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,000
to not have the power for
himself?

866
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,200
No way.
So then I think the question is,

867
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,360
Will Knight Maximus be a double
agent?

868
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,640
And if he is, for which side?
I don't trust him.

869
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:16,800
Maybe there.
I don't know.

870
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,240
We'll see.
Well, his love for Lucy outshine

871
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:21,160
his.
I do have to say, like, even

872
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,280
though I don't agree with this,
this isn't Aaron Moran.

873
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,080
Fantastic job.
He did a fantastic job.

874
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,280
Yeah, I really think that to
bring, oh gosh, this character

875
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,240
really is so complicated.
It's like I.

876
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:32,960
Know you.
You really didn't like him.

877
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,680
But I but I think you're not
really supposed to love him,

878
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,200
right?
Right.

879
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,440
You're supposed to see him as
being very flawed.

880
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,120
And I think that there's such an
innocence to him.

881
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,920
He's a child, just feeling
scared.

882
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,360
And so that's how he reacts to
everything.

883
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,840
And his world also got flipped
upside down because he thought

884
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,760
that the bombs went off when he
was younger.

885
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,760
And it's like, no, they
destroyed Shandy Shandy.

886
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:03,440
Shandy Shine.
Shady Sands after the

887
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,000
apocalypse.
It's just I don't, you know,

888
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,640
they need to get the bombs away
from.

889
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,280
These.
That's right.

890
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,000
They just keep bombing places
when they start to do well and

891
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,280
don't need the vaults anymore.
So what do you have?

892
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,960
A favorite part?
Favorite character?

893
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,720
My favorite character is Lucy.
OK, favorite scene.

894
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:26,800
Favorite scene I would I I It's
a very simple scene and I don't

895
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,600
know why it sticks out to me,
but it's when Maximus and Lucy

896
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,360
are on the opposite side of that
bridge from who they later find

897
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:40,280
out are the friends.
And we see Lucy again battling

898
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,240
her nature to want to trust
people and see the good in them.

899
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,920
And Maximus is standing next to
her as proof that not everyone

900
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,880
is good through his own actions,
saying we can't trust them.

901
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:56,040
And he's right and he's right.
And so I feel like this is

902
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,440
another.
See, the thing for Lucy is that

903
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,160
I feel like she's not dumb.
I feel like she just isn't wise

904
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,680
to the ways of this new.
World.

905
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,200
No.
And I think that's like like

906
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,880
she's not.
She's naive, but not by her own

907
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,920
fault.
But she was just hidden from

908
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,160
everything, right?
So she knows what she knows.

909
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,000
Thankfully, by the end of this,
seeing her mother in the state

910
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,320
that she was seeing what her
father did it really like put it

911
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,360
in perspective that even though
your stuff in the vault was all

912
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,840
a lie, so you can't base your
entire being and your beliefs on

913
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,640
something that was lied to you,
yeah, this entire time.

914
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,960
I I also just want to give a
quick shout out to the character

915
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,440
of Thaddeus, played by Johnny
Pemberton, who I know as Beau

916
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,160
from Superstore.
He was hilarious in that he was

917
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:45,920
really funny in this.
We're definitely going to be

918
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,440
seeing more of his character as
well.

919
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:51,320
And I also want to talk about
Chris Parnell as the overseer of

920
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,480
Vault 4 with the one with the
one eye who called her Goosey.

921
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,000
I mean, these are the little
gems that exist throughout this

922
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,480
dystopian.
What is his character's name and

923
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,960
30 Rock?
Doctor Spichemin, But it's about

924
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,200
like spaceman.
Yeah.

925
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,160
Doctor Leo Spichemin.
It's so good.

926
00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:10,840
It's so good.
He as soon as, like, I couldn't

927
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,800
really tell who he was at first
because that one eye really does

928
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,480
change the face.
But as soon as he talked, I was

929
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,880
like, it's him.
It's SNL alum.

930
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,600
Yeah, it's him.
And he did.

931
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,840
He really did such a pitch
perfect job with that role.

932
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,240
I mean, I've already said my
favorite moment was the organ

933
00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:32,240
harvesting pretty much episode.
The whole scene fantastic and I

934
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:36,560
would say the dog CX is top but
I'm not going to put that

935
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,640
because that should be
everybody's top but it's Lucy

936
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,640
and the cool tied for me for
sure.

937
00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:42,440
They're just, they knocked it
out the.

938
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,560
I'm excited for them to be
paired up.

939
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,680
You know she's British.
I didn't.

940
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:49,680
Or she has believes she's
British.

941
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,200
She has a British ish.
Accent.

942
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,400
How about that?
It's called acting and she's

943
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,160
doing it.
She did it so well.

944
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:58,640
Yeah.
All right.

945
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,240
So, final thoughts, Final final
thoughts.

946
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,440
Big thumbs up.
Very entertaining.

947
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,560
I want to know what happens next
and I think that's a sign of a

948
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,560
fantastic series.
Completely engrossing.

949
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,040
I believed every second of it.
I just want to know how it ends.

950
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,520
Yeah.
Where The Last of Us left me

951
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,640
feeling depressed in every
episode, this one left me

952
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:28,280
feeling like a little excited.
This this is like a fun

953
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,560
apocalypse, yeah?
Fun apocalypse.

954
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,160
Fun apocalypse.
I'm going to call it a fun

955
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,800
apocalypse.
It's brutal and it's like

956
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,120
sometimes I'm like, that's
that's a lot, but it's so much

957
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,960
fun.
I just want, I want to see more.

958
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,320
I want to see the story unfold.
I again, it's like it feels like

959
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,840
a mystery box almost.
And I just want, I just want it

960
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,800
all.
I I want the answers I I'm

961
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,640
looking forward to finding out
the answers.

962
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:55,240
Let us know what you thought.
Leave it down below in the

963
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:57,360

964
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,240
Did you fall in love with
Fallout?

965
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,160
Did you give it a big thumbs up?
Smile and a wink.

966
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:08,360
When he when you find out why
the thumbs up and why he does

967
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,960
it, but how he told his kid he's
like if it's bigger than the

968
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,680
thumb.
And she's like, is it your thumb

969
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,160
or mine, Janie?
No.

970
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,600
Anyway, on that note.
All right, so see you on
