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.123 – Post Decpte-Con Catch Up – A Review of Comic-Con News 2026 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem finally reconnects with Ken and Pat after missing their Comic‑Con panel, and the guys waste no time recapping how their talk on the downfall of billionaires in comics somehow turned into a crowd‑pleaser. Pat insists they were profound. Ken insists they were unhinged. Both are probably right.From there, the conversation swerves into the tall grass. The trio tries to figure out why Transformers actually transform, whether “Decepticons” is a name that should have been retired decades ago, and how to stitch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fast and the Furious into one cinematic universe without breaking the laws of physics or taste.It is exactly the kind of episode where a simple Comic‑Con debrief becomes a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive theology, and franchise chaos theory.Settle in. It gets weird fast.#TangentialGiants #ComicCon #Transformers #GIJoe #FastAndFurious #NerdCulture #PopCulturePodcast #GeekTalk #ComicBookLore #MovieUniverses #PodcastLife #FandomTalk #ToyLore #FranchiseChaos
