Fallout S2E8 "The Strip"

2026/02/06

Okie dokey, that’s it for Fallout season 2! We thought it was a great season finale, packed to the rads with answers (the Enclave is behind it all, and the President is one of them), more questions (have Hank and Steph been a thing for 200 years or what?), and as f$%ked up and funny as ever. Thanks from all three of us to everyone for joining us for this series! What a freaking blast it is, right? It was so much fun to cover, and we especially appreciate those of you who wrote and called in (but

This show hitting close to home for anyone else? It’s another fantastic episode, with Steph’s escape from U.S.-occupied Canada, and a Cooper-Maximus-Thaddeus team-up. We just wish the real world would stop moving closer to Fallout and start seeing it as the warning it is.

Fallout S2E6 "The Other Player"

Wax Episodic | Severance • Fallout • Pluribus ·

2026/01/23

Post-apocalyptic protagonists must pursue perilous paths, proving problematic. Power plays like a profligate poker chip. Past promises provoke painful perceptions of once proud parentage. Pivotal protagonists probe personal principles, prioritize protection, but postpone peace.

If only Manousos had made it to New Mexico a few weeks earlier as he intended, then he and Carol might have been on the same page — but it was fun to see them argue about it and then ultimately get there, and we’re very much looking forward to season two to find out what happens next.
