After Shows

Hey all, here's our coverage of the EXCELLENT Amazon series Fallout, based on the games. As I'm sure most of you know, this show was so great on so many levels, a lavishly produced juxtaposition of many things: a post-apocalyptic political sci-fi western morality tale of wholesomeness and naivety vs. depraved violence, greed, conspiracy, and terror, with a great cast, both funny and dramatic moments, and just a blast to watch.If Amazon had released this weekly, we’d have podcasted on each episode individually, but we thought since a lot of you are binging in, we’d just cover it all in one go. So here’s your marathon three-hour Fallout season 1 podcast, a cross-over between Podcastica and Ben Beck’s Wilhelm podcast, with Ben, Jason, and Doug talking out what we loved about the show and how it compares to the games. If you would like to skip the discussion of the game, you can jump from 1:30:00 to 2:04:30.Enjoy!Be sure to check out all the great content for Wilhelm and Podcastica by visiting wilhelmpodcast.com and podcastica.com.Like Wilhelm on Facebook at @WilhelmPodcastFollow Wilhelm on Instagram: @WilhelmPodcastEmail Wilhelm or Send a Voicemail: feedback@wilhelmpodcast.comShow support and get ad-free episodes and a bunch of other cool stuff: patreon.com/jasoncabassi• Or go to buymeacoffee.com/cabassi for a one-time donation.
