Discover top brands at unexpectedly low prices. Sierra, let's get moving. This video is brought to by Astopro. Let's get to it, peeps. It really is criminal that they didn't do this one week at a time.

Starting point is 00:01:23 Yeah, I don't get, I feel like it doesn't allow for each episode to truly be appreciated. Because it's like, by the time you're at this point, it's like, this is so different than how we started like. No, this would have been the talk of the town every week. Yeah, this is great. You know what it dawned on me why I don't feel like I'm watching a video game adaptation? Is because I don't feel like I'm watching like an action show. And normally would be a game. I think that's what's great about Fallout is it's not, there's action moments, but it's not an action game by any means.

Starting point is 00:01:58 but it's like the it doesn't feel like it's just about like the way they do like sneaking around or exploring doesn't feel like I'm watching like something that reminds me of action yeah it's just like story based yeah but yeah don't ruin anything for me I don't know what's going on I don't understand the point of these experiments but I could tell you I feel very uncomfortable I feel very unsettled yeah I love a good cult movie so watching the cult element be brought in here and it's kind of cool because when you when you're first looking at like the world that she inhabits

Starting point is 00:02:32 vault 33 vault 33 I'm like you know I never looked at them like a cult but they are like a cult and then that line that bar that that over not the overseaker but the woman says at the end there

Starting point is 00:02:47 and it's funny how this place has an overseaker but there's really a woman in charge here overseer there's really a woman in charge and the same thing with our vault you know but yeah i feel like it's a very um unsettling experience and watching the flipperoo with maximus taking the bait drinking the kool-aid right now and her exposed uh trying to expose the truth i don't even get like why the experiments or what the purpose is but damn that is that is really gnarly backed with the um the implications of everything that was happening with

Starting point is 00:03:24 explaining the vault the origin of it via this back story of waltzing goggins we still don't even know exactly how the divide came to be between him and his wife but we're getting some good inklings of it of what way i would cause it in the first place yeah i thought that was such a brilliant way to elude they've done such a great job of that each episode right of like before dropping the heavy hit they give you the subtle seed And then they, like, in, like, such a brilliant way. You know, and it's interesting, like, without getting into spoiler territory, I feel like you can play every fallout game and know the lore inside and out and still have just as many questions as you have. And I think that's part of the brilliance of this is, like, there is still a lot of stuff, questions to be answered,

Starting point is 00:04:22 world to be explored. And every bit of this universe always, as much as it answers a little bit, every answer that you get gives you 10 more interesting questions. And I think this is just like opened up like, oh, there's some like really, really cool things. This is like, this could be our new, if it was weekly. This could be our new lost. Well, that's exactly, I mean, it feels like.

Starting point is 00:04:48 Because they haven't brought over any characters from the video game, right? they've made mention but they haven't like directly brought over like no I mean other than the voice of of Mr. Handy which was such a wonderful cameo um which a human character yeah no not that I've picked up on and if I have missed that I'm so sorry please forgive me internet so the ghoul don't answer me if you know

Starting point is 00:05:19 yeah only speculate with that's how we should write the only speculate with me if you don't know yeah don't answer if you do know so is the ghoul like a failed experiment of this time thing that is like what what is the cult what is the leader's name the one who's been around the fire fire fire the nation lady that's so funny uh yeah you know who we're talking yeah yeah we know who we're talking yeah yeah they people should know but the um because she because they were talking about mastering the time and like you said the conversation and it's like okay must be the ghoul thing but then you see her and like she's in like perfect no no i it ghouls

Starting point is 00:06:00 unless they're about to canonically change what we know about ghouls goals are just a result of radiation okay um and are just like like most of the creatures that we see and fall out so goal so really quick so goals can survive if you are exposed to this the level of radiation you can survive for hundreds of years like not everyone Most people just get radioact, like, radiation poisoning and die. And Walton Goggins is able to survive because of whatever this time thing is from before the bombs? No, no. Some people are just how their body happens to take on radiation or the levels of radiation.

Starting point is 00:06:40 For whatever reason, they're predisposed to becoming colds. I'm like watching this going, what the fuck is the game? I'm just like, I'm trying to understand, like, what is the cave exactly? well that's the funny thing about fall right like like you go into it and you're like oh yeah it's like a you know post apocalyptic and then there's like all these like crazy fantastical creatures and beast and like and they really again they've been really really light with us beating a lot of those like if this was a fallout game you would have seen some things that you would have been like and i'm sure we're probably gonna as we get closer to the end we'll probably see some more of those um but uh the Body horror here is insanely disturbing. That's fallout. It's sickening. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:07:27 It's really... No, it's not. It's sickening. It's lovely. Dude, giving birth to those piranha things? No, that was pretty sick. I mean, it's... That's fallout.

Starting point is 00:07:38 I mean, it's part of the fun of the games is, like, you go into these dark, scary places, and then, like, one of my favorite parts of the game is you'll, like, find a computer in this, like, room with like a broken flashing light after you've like made your way through like ghouls and all these terrifying things and then you'll find like an overseer's computer that will describe in brutal detail all of the experiments and then you'll go like room to room to room of a vault and you'll find these like corpses that are set up in such a way that play out all

Starting point is 00:08:16 these scenes fascinating and it's so fun to like Watch that unfold in this sort of setting where they're able to, of course, do it in such a cinematic sort of way. Shout out to Ask the Pro for sponsoring us. So some fun facts about me. I've been seeing an E&T the past couple of months. Got a CT scan down for my allergies, and right now I'm trying to find time to get deviated septum surgery. So like many of you, I am someone who's tried pretty much every nasal spray you can think of. Because I have difficulty breathing through my nose, which leads to day-to-day and sleeping problems on a consistent basis.

Starting point is 00:08:48 So before agreeing to this, I wanted to try them out myself. Because this is a serious thing I deal with. They provided me with free samples. This is my second bottle. This is without a doubt the best nasal spray I have ever used. That's not some talking point. That's my very own personal testimony. Genuinely, for me, it's fantastic and lives up to how it's advertised.

Starting point is 00:09:08 It's the fastest 24-hour over-the-counter solution available. It gets to work in just 30 minutes while other sprays take hours to kick in. It's also the only one out there that's steroid-free for 24-hour rule. relief. Astopro has seriously changed the game for me, offering full prescription strength relief from nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. The difference this makes is phenomenal. It's kind of insane how this relief to my breathing and nostrils just kicks in and I'm back in action really fast. So if you're like me, battling with nasal allergies and looking for relief, get fast acting nasal allergy or symptom relief with Astopro. Go to Astopro allergy.com for a discount so you can Astopro and go. It's

Starting point is 00:09:42 Faster with Astropro, bro. I saw that commercial. Astor Pro, it's faster, bro. That's A-S-T-E-P-R-O-A-Lergy.com. Remember, use as directed for relief of nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and itchy-nosed-due to allergies. Thank you again, Astopro, sincerely. What do you think of Walton Goggins' performance, man? Oh, man.

Starting point is 00:09:59 I mean, it's funny because I feel like the, like, episode to episode gets better and better and better. um like you can see the like it's it's the way the wheels turn i got to say like the way the wheels turn the machinations it is just keeps going in a route when i say unexpected i'm like this is not your typical version of storytelling like it just keeps swerving in ways i'm like and i feel like they kind of got a lot of that out of the way early on with Lucy like oh we're gonna watch Lucy change we're gonna call attention to that and then now that we're like past the halfway point like we still got a few episodes left a couple episodes left but it's been like this for the last couple we're just like now it's not gonna go at all like how you think it's gonna go and and i think it's i think it's good i mean

Starting point is 00:10:58 they gave lucy the room that she needed in the beginning to have that arc and now they've kind of left this really open space for these other characters to really have their their time and in the sun and for the ghoul I mean his arc and even the way that like just love him in the past like the little things too and how they've like him having the dog and the fight over the dog and realizing that's why he had saved dog meat

Starting point is 00:11:27 I'm like that's so fucking brilliant yeah like to see these little character choices and understand the intent behind it and that to me is like whoa okay yeah his humanity has been intact from the beginning. There is still good in him. But why does he carry on?

Starting point is 00:11:45 Well, why does he carry on? Well, we got an illusion. The woman that he's looking for. Now is the woman his daughter? Is the woman the firekeeper? The fire brand lady? The fired. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:12:00 Fighter. Fire lady. Fire. What's her name? Bender. Imobuiz is what Black Panther says when they chant to go fight in. Oh, God. Not what it is.

Starting point is 00:12:11 I don't think it is what that is. What is her damn name? I don't think. These are the characters' names on the credits? It's so funny that we can spend so much time watching a show and have absolutely. They don't say their names on the credits. No, they don't. Wait, wait, maybe.

Starting point is 00:12:26 Hold on a sec. Barb. Okay. Birdie. Sorrel. She wasn't really in this episode, though, was she? I mean, she had a scene. Oh, that's true.

Starting point is 00:12:38 She was. co-starring news anchor i feel like she'd be like a guest star yeah so she's probably one of the names that they didn't but anyway um but yeah like uh the conspiracy of the past linking to here it's so so freaking brilliant but i love walton goggins performance so much like my god anytime he's on screen he is like gripping and he's not even he's just so subtle too yeah yeah no it's uh I mean, he carries so much feeling in his performance. And, like, I mean, directions just, like, out of this world. And there is a gravitas across the board on everyone's.

Starting point is 00:13:25 Just, like, they don't waste any beat in the show. No, never. And hopping between POVs and not skipping a beat is, like, it's amazing like for an episode that was like 56 minutes i feel like i just watched the three-hour movie dude i'm exhausted i'm exhausted i literally like the right kind of literally feel like i just watched like the lord of the rings extended edition trilogy like then they even introduce government um government you know yeah and the president like oh this this is the real half-ass attempt like let's just become the wild west again

Starting point is 00:14:06 couldn't help you the sheriff without the president like just a bunch of crazy is crazy it's crazy

Starting point is 00:14:11 yeah no that the world building is and it's only going to get better I'm actually really oh man

Starting point is 00:14:19 and the moment when they showed the New California Republic flag and played the real fallout theme

Starting point is 00:14:25 why they choose it for that moment you think well I think the New California Republic flag in a lot of ways

Starting point is 00:14:32 like represents such a like special symbol of fallout and what it is and it's this there's also something to be said about and I'm curious what you guys think for me like the introduction of fallout as you're like you're working your way through the vault like picking your skills and all that and you like have to stop in the classroom and there's the projector and all of that I think setting it in the classroom and then having that reveal i just i it felt really appropriate um yeah i it i also think it sets it up really well for if there is a season two which i'm not going to lie if there's not

Starting point is 00:15:22 i'm going to be livid um but if there is a season two i think there's um there's some really really interesting stuff with the brotherhood and with the enclave and with the new california Republic and a lot of other things and and I think that however this story ends I imagine that it will have an impact on that and I would love to follow I'd love to continue the story and I think what's nice is the other fallout stories and characters for the most part I think that they can continue to explore this side of the world without affecting other things although we don't know where the next game takes place yet so um fallout five um what's up mike well uh reject nation this has been so much fun we have a couple more

Starting point is 00:16:16 episodes to go but gregg and i need to take a break i need to go take the dog for a walk uh but we love you all so much don't forget to subscribe hit that notification bell if you want to make sure never miss an episode and don't forget the commies are bad and they're coming for you Voltaq calling Cameron Lane was looking at your name and it reminded me of a couple of different people

Starting point is 00:16:49 this is not based off of any other shout out that we've done recently but look think about it James Cameron one of the most prolific amazing filmmakers of our generation Nathan Lane one of the greatest sort of Broadway style, but he's also on the big screen kind of showman out there.

Starting point is 00:17:10 Think about if you bind super gay with super technical innovations, and you could get a whole new kind of city. You could make the good version of cats with that cross-section. You could make cats gayer than it is already. Or not, you know, whatever you choose to do, but either way, it's going to look amazing, all right? And it's going to break ground. It's going to make a billion dollars.

Starting point is 00:17:36 And somehow people are, you know, maybe not even going to confess to loving it. And yet, whenever you come back around with your big, gay, innovative energy, people will turn up in droves. They will. And you will change the shape of cinema forever. Oh, yeah. And then we'll have new stuff to react to. And so the circle of life, as, you know, God intended, it moves us all. And it continues to.

Starting point is 00:18:00 Because of you, James Cameron. Nathan Lane.
