October 02, 2025 Found in the Ruins episode 12: Smackdown — The Omega Man vs. I Am Legend
Greetings Wastelanders! It’s the return of the FITR Zombie Smackdown! In this corner is 1971’s The Omega Man with “glistening” Charlton Heston in his Honkey Paradise. Machine guns, Halloween masks, and convenient lighting abound! In this corner is 2007’s I Am Legend with Will Smith. It has Home Alone-style traps, dodgy medical ethics, and CGI night(ish) monsters!
All this with guest host and Vampire movie expert extraordinaire Chris Holmes provide more than enough coverage to make a Fair and Balanced choice. Who will win? Who will lose? Will Hollywood ever really make a movie based on Matheson’s story? Some of these answers will be revealed in this episode of Found in the Ruins!
So, take a listen and keep in mind we are Spoiler-rich! Especially for 40-year old books and movies…

July 30, 2025 Found in the Ruins episode 11: RPGs of the Cold War
Your Post-Apoc duo Boom Mike and Doc Benny are joined once again by that guy who’s a little too fond of BBQ Pork; Doc Jared! We discuss growing up in the Cold War and our favorite RPGs from that period, notably Aftermath and Gamma World. Nostalgia leads to more modern games such as the recent edition of The Morrow Project and our 2 1/2 year campaign to battle The Great Yazoo for control of the Delta Wastelands!
So, take a listen and keep in mind we are Spoiler-rich! Especially for 40-year old books and movies…

June 28, 2025 Episode 61: Urban Knights RPG by C. Michael Hall
<Insert Waka-chica/Waka-chica/Waka-chica>
It’s time to hit the mean streets of San Francisco with Barnaby Jones and Police Woman to save Starsky and Hutch in Vega$!

Rogue cops, drug busts, and wild outfits are the norm and death the exception, at least for the heroes. Join the Fab Four as they ponder what polyester outfit would go with their guns?
No Police or P.I.s were harmed in the making of this podcast, because they never die on-screen!

April 22, 2025 Found in the Ruins episode 9: Twilight 2000 with Shane
It’s time to look back at the nightmare that the year 2000 brought us. No, not Y2K; the inevitable war between the US and the USSR in Europe! Don’t remember that? Neither do we!
