    Should You Shield Yourself From Fallout?

    We are off this week but bring you a recent episode from our Club spinoff podcast Extra Extra Hot Great.

    From EEHG 292: Should You Shield Yourself From Fallout?

    Even big Walt Goggins fans might not enjoy a series that takes his nose and overuses midcentury needle drops -- but most of the panel thinks you should stick with Fallout, the new post-nuclear-bomb dystopia from Prime based on a videogame. It's different from Silo in good ways, and wit plus world-building plus thoughtful casting goes a long way. Your Ask EHG questions led us to contemplate a live-action Muppet Show, a Sports Night reboot, Warriors gangs, and crossover pairs of TV friends; we named our Not Quite Winners and Losers; and the calendar's cruelest month saw US cruelly pitting characters named April against each other in a micro-Thunderdome. Radiation poisoning and Garthe Knight...just another day in the vault at Extra Extra Hot Great!

Best use of podcast time

This is the best podcast for several reasons. Entertaining? Check. Useful to organize TV time? Check. Funny? Check. Smart? Check, check. It isn’t just hot great; it’s extra hot great.

Silent super fan

I have listened to again with this 90210 edition more times than I dare admit. I thought about starting extra hot great a few times over the years but I never really gave it a chance because I thought it would spoil shows I haven’t seen. Now that I can recite lines from the 90210 podcast like I can recite song lyrics, and because the state of the world means I can’t listen to the political podcasts I used to have playing constantly, I tried this one in earnest and I’m really mad at myself for not listening to this sooner. Now I can’t stop listening to this one and I haven’t heard a spoiler yet. Thank you so so much Sara, Tara, and Dave.
