Fun episode this week as Carol finally starts asking the pod people some of the same kinds of things we’d be asking.

Other Wax Episodic shows:

Consider trying one of these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows that we cover on this very podcast:

IT:Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.
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! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy.

Answers galore in this thrilling season finale that sets us up for exciting things to come. What more could we ask for, right? PS Am I a monster for laughing at all the CEO’s plans for experimenting on people in the vaults….?

Ah well, if so then I’m a monster who wants to thank all you guys for listening along with us this season, and thanks to everyone who wrote or called in. We’ll see you soon for season 2!

Next up on Fallout: S2E1, premiering Dec 17!

Other Wax Episodic shows:

While you’re waiting for season 2, consider checking out these other shows we’ve been covering on Wax Episodic:

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!
IT:Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror.

Pluribus S1E3 "Grenade" Nov 15, 2025

Show notes

Reposted from Wax Episodic, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/wax-episodic

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!
