About This Podcast

A podcast dedicated to low stakes deep dives into pop culture led by Marcy,  a middle-aged, multimedia casual consumer. She is joined by her chosen brother Paul as they discuss science fiction and post apocalyptic TV/Movies. They recently reviewed HBO’s The Last of Us and Avatar the Last Airbender on Netflix. They are now eager to begin discussing the TV show Fallout on Amazon Prime.

Marcy and Paul have been friends and occasional roommates for over 20 years. This means that they've spent countless hours sitting on a couch together watching TV  and playing video games. Both of us love books and science, so most episodes include those things.  We'd love for you to join us on our cushy couch! Spoilers are expected with this show.
