Join us as we explore the bleak world of "Black Summer," the Netflix sensation born from the creators of Z Nation. We'll introduce you to the show's key characters—Rose, Spears, Sun, and Anna—whose unpredictable fates and resilience will keep you glued to the screen. Brace yourself for the relentless pace of its fast-moving zombies, which add a gritty edge to the survival narrative and a deeper conversation about how trauma responses—fawning, flight, fight, and freeze—play out in extreme scenarios. Drawing from real-life experiences and therapeutic insights, we analyze the behaviors of "Black Summer" characters and discuss the complexities of trust and vulnerability in life-or-death situations.

Whether you're a horror aficionado, a fan of dark humor, or just love a good survival story, this episode promises to be a banger.

Join us as we dive into the Amazon Prime series "Fallout". We delve into the ethical dilemmas, societal changes, and rich lore of the "Fallout" universe and navigate the experimental vaults, retro-futuristic corporations, and the striking parallels between "Fallout's" world and our own.

In this episode, we journey through the Brotherhood of Steel's technocentric quests, explore gray morality, and ponder the future of beauty standards if ghoulification became common. We also examine intricate societies within the series, including the Brotherhood's fascination with mundane technology and the potential for cyborg-based groups in future seasons.

Laugh along as we recount entertaining scenes, such as a Brotherhood member's naive misunderstanding about male arousal, and delve into deeper themes of military indoctrination, corporate morality, and privilege. We critique potential plot inconsistencies and retcons, reflecting on our own experiences and societal narratives.

This episode is a minisode. The TLDR of it is that a family emergency sent Dan on a 1600 mile impromptu roadtrip last week, and there was no time to record a new episode.

We're sorry for this unplanned super short episode, but we wanted everyone to know we will be back at it again next week. Thank you all for hanging in there while we catch up.
