S4 EP.13: Being sidetracked is the mission – Reviewing the Fallout TV show pt.2

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) continue their review of the Amazon hit series, Fallout as they get through the first half of the season. Tangents include preemptive counter-attacks against dogs, ghoul physiology, shooting Tyra Banks, and more.

Show Notes

Episode 3: “A Head Above the Rest”

  • Vault-Tec Infomercial: Cooper’s past is as shady as a Super-Duper Mart parking lot at midnight. We get a peek into his life before the world went kaboom, complete with a cheesy ad that makes Nuka-Cola commercials look like high art.
  • Monster Mash: Lucy and The Ghoul play tag with a gulper that’s got more heads than a Brahmin and just as much drool. Spoiler: It’s not a game they win with a slap on the wrist.
  • Maximus’s Masquerade: Our man Max is sneaking around like he’s got Stealth Boy activated. But instead of looting, he’s dodging death and suspicion with the grace of a radroach in a radiation storm.
  • Blast from the Past: The episode throws us back to pre-war times faster than a mini nuke. We’re talking a nostalgia trip that makes you miss the days when the biggest worry was a Y2K bug, not a radbug.

Episode 4: “The Truth Shall Set You Irradiated”

  • Survival of the Fittest: The MacLean siblings are showing off their wasteland survival skills like they’re auditioning for “Survivor: Atom Bomb Edition.”
  • Moral Quandaries and Quagmires: Lucy and The Ghoul face choices tougher than a Deathclaw steak. Do they save the settler or grab the loot? It’s like choosing between Brahmin milk and irradiated water.
  • Vault 32’s Secrets: Norm’s digging up dirt in Vault 32 like he’s got a G.E.C.K. for uncovering family drama. What he finds could blow the vault door wide open—figuratively speaking, of course.

Closing Zinger:

  • If these episodes were any more packed with twists, they’d be a box of Fancy Lads Snack Cakes. Stay tuned to see if our heroes find the recipe for success or if they’ll just end up with egghead on their face.

Shawarma vs Falafel vs Vaccines – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.2 Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants are back with Part 2 of their deep dive into James Gunn’s Superman, and this round Kareem, Ken, and Pat have dragged Tim into the fray. He claims he’s here for analysis, but really he’s here for moral support and to witness whatever this movie is doing in its first twenty minutes.The crew breaks down everything from the Lois and Clark argument that feels ripped straight from a couples therapy session to Superman throwing hands with a kaiju before breakfast. They also unpack the emotional rollercoaster of watching Clark repair a Kryptonian VHS love letter from his parents, because apparently Krypton had Blockbuster.Naturally, the tangents spiral.The team debates which Mediterranean dish officially separates MCU fans from DCU loyalists. They explore the hazards of rookie superheroism and why some heroes should probably start with a learner’s permit. Then they wander into a surprisingly scientific discussion about Big Dick Energy and how it occasionally overrides attractiveness, logic, and the known laws of the universe.If you enjoy chaotic analysis, passionate nonsense, and four grown adults arguing about whether Superman should own a Blu‑ray player, this episode is your new comfort food. Grab your gyro or shawarma depending on your cinematic allegiance, and settle in for another heroic descent into tangents.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcuniverse #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #SuperheroTalk #moviebreakdown #loisandclark #kaijufights #krypton #podcastepisode #geekculture #popculturepodcast #dcfans #SupermanAnalysis #moviediscussions
