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.
EP.119 – Don't Trust Billionaires – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.3 – Tangential Giants Podcast
The Tangential Giants return for their third strike at reviewing the three-quarter mark of James Gunn’s Superman, and somehow, the chaos only gets more refined with age. Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim settle in to talk about the movie, but as always, tangents emerge like uninvited cousins who still somehow run the show.This time, the crew dives into how the fictional citizens of Metropolis and the very real citizens of the United States share a troubling weakness for any rich guy with a shiny suit and a PR team. From there, they spiral into a celebration of Guy Gardner’s comedic menace as Green Lantern, because apparently the universe needed a man who is equal parts hero and walking HR violation.Naturally, the group also questions the logistics of a pocket universe prison. Is it science, magic, or just James Gunn saying, " Trust me and hoping no one asks follow-up questions? The Giants ask them anyway. And that is only scratching the surface of the detours they take while trying to talk about Superman’s journey.If you enjoy passionate nonsense, comic book philosophy, and four grown adults trying to make sense of a movie that refuses to stay on the rails, this episode is your comfort food. Settle in and enjoy another round of heroic chaos.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #superherotalk #moviebreakdown #GuyGardner #greenlantern #metropolis #PocketUniverse #popculturepodcast #dcfans #supermananalysis #moviediscussions
