Brian's away, so the gamers will play. We're here to discuss not only season one of the Fallout show, but the general trajectory of the series-- ragging on Fallout 4, some Fallout 76 apologia, what made the original games so special, and more. Let us know if you want us to cover season two or if you never want to hear the word Fallout mentioned on this show ever again.

Today we're joined by biologist and science communicator Forrest Valkai (ig: @valkailabs) for a chat about tackling live call-in shows, the temptations of conspiracy thought, algorithmic cognitohazards, internet grifters, and more! A very interesting and passionate conversation on this one, folks. We had a blast.

We're here with our unofficial third host and certified rapscallion Jory Griffis to talk about Resident Evil: Requiem and watch the terrible film E.T. Go to our Patreon to enjoy our commentary track either with or without the movie; it goes crazy in the second half once we completely turn on the movie and start fantasizing about all the ways that little alien menace could bite it for good. How about E.T. phone Life Alert, huh? How about E.T. staying 70s calcium-rich dog** white in the gutter? How about we scrub this mawkish scourge from the collective cultural consciousness? How about that? Would you like that? Is there a reason to get out of bed in the morning knowing that in the state of Florida, there's a scary E.T. animatronic that knows your name? Do you know what he's going to do with that information? What sick invocations he'll conjure in the dark halls of that accursed Universal Studios TM dark ride? Is there any way out of this utter madness?

Yes, actually, there is. And it's supporting our Patreon at patreon.com/leightonnight, where you can get an incredible deal on access to our entire 5 year backlog of video and ad-free episodes for as low as TWO DOLLARS A MONTH. I don't want to get your hopes up, but it is the only thing that WILL protect you from E.T.'s demented wrath. And that's a Leighton Night promise (i.e. worth nothing and nonrefundable in Alaska and Hawaii). Follow us on Twitter at @leightonnight and on Instagram/TikTok at @leighton_night.

On this one we chat about celebrity dating apps, drinking, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, XR Glasses, LOL-ROFL drift, performative friendship, Klingon, and more!

We're joined once again by our friend and incredibly talented musician Chaki (@chakifunkwizard) for a chat about 90s horror icons, 80s comedies, getting scared as a kid, Chaki's new album, roller coasters, and more! It's a joy. Support Chaki and listen to his music at chaki.bandcamp.com

We come up with some new jokers for the game Balatro, discuss the film The Taking of Pelham 123, Letterboxd but For Gamers, themed novelty restaurants, and more! Honestly, it would have been such a great bit if we called this one Episode 299. Be grateful that we showed some restraint here.
