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.122 – Wait, You Know Kung Fu Too? – A Review of The State of Martial Arts Films pt.2 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem, Ken, Pat, and returning chaos agent JPG dive into the second half of their martial arts saga, tracing how the genre went from the clean, wide‑shot choreography of the 80s and 90s to the hyper‑edited, camera‑trick chaos that took over in the 2000s.They unpack how The Matrix rewired Hollywood’s brain, how 9‑11 reshaped action aesthetics, and how Jackie Chan’s beautifully reckless stunt work got replaced by gunkata, tactical reloads, and enough quick cuts to make a film editor sweat. Along the way, the crew debates whether modern action is evolution or just caffeine with a budget.If you enjoy martial arts history, pop culture detours, and a guest who refuses to stay on topic, this episode delivers.#tangentialgiants #martialartsmovies #actioncinema #Gunkata #jackiechan #thematrix #filmpodcast #popculturepodcast #moviediscussions
