Ep 94: Analyzing the “Fallout” TV & Game Series

Today we’re discussing the new Prime Video series “Fallout” (2024) —executive-produced by “Westworld” creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy — as well as its progenitor video game series, “Fallout” (1997-2019). Our co-hosts have got Uranium fever and are giving props to the series’ breakout stars Walton Goggins (playing “The Ghoul”), Ella Purnell (playing a Vault-born heroine), and Aaron Moten (playing a member of the Brotherhood of Steel) who all represent different moral approaches to life in the Wasteland. Relevant discussions of corpocracy, the romance of America’s Wild West, and the legacy of nuclear disarmament add to a critical analysis of “Fallout”’s themes, characters, and its alternate history of the United States. Crawl out of the fallout alongside us as we celebrate and elucidate this new blockbuster series by Amazon Studios. Let’s get into it!
