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.

EP.120 – Jimmy Olsen's Manosphere Problem – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.4 Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants return to finally wrap up their review of James Gunn’s Superman, and somehow, the last stretch of the movie gives them even more chaos to chew on. Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim dive straight into Jimmy Olsen’s full-blown Manosphere spiral, because apparently, even in the DCU, no one is safe from a podcast algorithm gone rogue.From there, the crew takes a hard look at the new Kents, who are depicted as so financially underwater that even Smallville’s cows are probably judging them. Then comes Lex Luthor’s army of Musk-like minions, a collection of tech bros who look like they’d unionize only to demand more stock options in exchange for less dignity.And of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without discussing this new foul-mouthed Supergirl, who arrives like a cosmic warning label and immediately starts cussing out anyone within a five-mile radius. The Giants try to make sense of it all, but naturally end up wandering into philosophical detours, comic book lore debates, and at least one argument about whether Jimmy Olsen needs therapy or a firmware update.If you enjoy superhero analysis mixed with unhinged tangents, this is the perfect finale to the Superman review saga.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #supergirl #jimmyolsen #LexLuthor #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #popculturepodcast #dccomics #moviediscussions #superherotalk #podcastlife #dcfans
