Wax Episodic | Pluribus • IT: Welcome to Derry • Fallout

Fantastic episode this week. As IT stokes fear that drives friends and family apart, a few pockets of warmth, love, and connection bloom, and the show weaves it all together in a beautiful (and unsettling) way.  Next up on IT: Welcome to Derry: S1E7 “The Black Spot”.

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. Showrun by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Podcast hosted by Jason and Karen! 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. 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!

This week was a bit lighter on the shocking horror (which is something, considering a girl saws her own eyeballs off), but we thought it deepened the story in ways that are having us dig this show more than ever.

We thought this ep was a deeper exploration of Carol’s character, and how she’s not only immune to the pod people virus, but also to allowing herself to feel happy even when everything is going well. Hmm, maybe that is why she’s immune to the virus (except Air Force One-guy doesn’t seem to have that problem). Anyway, this ep was a joy to watch, and to podcast on, and we hope you enjoy!

We love how this show gives us something new each week.

Wow, how messed up can this show get? Apparently way more, and it’s only episode two. We’re loving the story (with one possible questionable exception) and the characters and the twisted creativity behind these nightmare scenarios, and we thought this episode deepened things as the show gets more into the racial tensions of the 1960s.  Next up on IT: Welcome to Derry: S1E3 “Now You See It”.

This episode was stuffed to the gills with cool s#%t — gory action, irradiated mutant animals, the most adorable dog ever, and freakin' Michael “Ben Linus” Emerson — as Lucy explored the surface world and Maximus realized his dream of playing knight.

Here we go: Fallout! This retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic extravaganza is a collision of humor and terror, charm and gore, propriety and depravity, mystery and adventure, and so much more. It’s smartly written, extravagantly produced, and we think the casting is perfect, with Ella Purnell as our uber-plucky hero, and Walton Goggins as our sassy, ghoulish foil.  I’m joined by Kasi and Wendy to talk out this first episode, which manages to be entertaining while dropping a ton of detail about this world.

It wasn’t as conclusive a season finale as we maybe wanted, but it was chock full of Alien: Earth greatness, and Jason, Randy, and Kara had a blast getting into all the details. Thank you to all you guys who watched and listened along with us. It was a great time!  Next up for Wax Episodic: The post-apocalyptic, retro-futuristic, mutant-infested extravaganza, Fallout! Come join us for another great ride! All eight episodes of season one are available now on Amazon Prime, and we’ll be continuing on with season two when it premieres in December.

Such a mix of tones in this action-packed episode, at times simultaneously sad, sweet, disturbing, funny, and horrific. We were down with it and we’re very much looking forward to the finale next week. Listen in as we talk it out. ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re looking at covering either Severance or Fallout next while we wait for the Pluribus premiere. Want to help us choose which one?
