What other show gives you a drug-addicted heroine battling a gang of ghoulish, Elvis impersonators?

Other Wax Episodic shows: We cover these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows: Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It’s sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen! IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant!

Only on Fallout could a bunch of children working in a sweat shop managed by a ghoul be this delightful. :P Aside from that, it feels like things are about to pop off, with Maximus starting a war, and Cooper riling things up with the Legion. Join Kasi, Kara, and Jason as we talk it through.  Next up on Fallout: S2E4 “The Demon in the Snow”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to [email protected].

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. Karen and I are thrilled to be joined by David — a huge Vince Gilligan fan, a Podcastica host, and Karen’s hubs — to talk it out! Thanks everyone for joining us for this show! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Karen and I will be back for Severance at some point, possibly in February, and we may check out a Vince Gilligan-written episode or two of The X-Files in the meantime. And if you’re looking for something else to dig into, highly recommend checking out any of the other shows this podcast covers.  They are…. Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi.

Another killer episode, with Norm posing as a genetically engineered supermanager, Hank’s montage of exploding mice brains, Lucy apparently recounting all of A Christmas Carol to Cooper against his will, or the tragic story of Maximus’ losing his parents, among other things. Join Kasi and Jason as we talk it out on this twisted Christmas Eve. Happy holidays! Next up on Fallout: S2E3 “The Profligate”. Let us know your thoughts!
