Walton Goggins Joins Prime Video’s Upcoming “Fallout” Series Adaptation
Walton Goggins, best known for the portrayal of unhinged characters like Boyd Crowder on “Justified” and the evangelist Baby Billy on “The Righteous Gemstones” (pictured) will lead the cast of Prime Video’s upcoming “Fallout” series adaptation from “Westworld” co-creator Jonathan Nolan who will be directing the pilot episode. The “Fallout” franchise of games is set in a post-apocalyptic reality where an all-out nuclear event takes place in 2077. To survive, the remainder of humanity hides in underground fallout shelters, emerging at different points in history after the final battle to try and rebuild civilization. Variety reports that Goggins will play a lead role, a character based on the ghouls in the games, but there’s no word about which ghoul he will be playing of if it is one completely new to the franchise. The ghouls in “Fallout” are people who have suffered from exposure to high levels of radiation and have mutated as a result, leaving them looking nasty. The

Game Review: ’35MM’
Sergey Noskov, the indie developer behind In Rays of Light and 7th Sector is back with their new walking sim “survival horror” (as it’s said to be on Steam) post-apocalyptic game 35MM. I would like to thank the Developer and publisher Sometimes You for the review opportunity. 35MM takes place in Russia after a global Pandemic wiped out most the of population. The story follows two travelers who are wandering the Russian countryside making their way towards a city where our main character lives. The controls in 35MM are a bit tricky and seem to now be meant for controllers, and don’t seem to respond well at times, especially during combat. The game was also classified as an FPS/Shooter, but the combat mechanics in the game leaves a lot to be desired as you can’t aim, and enemies have a lot more health than you. There are moments you have to do button mashing but most of the time it’s

Thadeous Sutton (Bill Shaw), and he vows unholy revenge on the descendants of those what done him wrong! Fast forward to… whhhooooaa duuuude, it’s the present day, which of course is 1986 as everyone knows. In 1986 we get some high voltage horseshit involving both a geezer, Professor Sutton (Shaw in a dual role) by name, letting two yokels fish on his land intercut with some airport hijinks (the best kind) where we see the high-larious antics of ace pilot/Shooter

Epix’s New Horror Series “From” Premieres This Weekend!
EPIX’s new sci-fi horror series “From” makes its premiere this weekend and it’s a must-see! In fact, I called it “one of the best new series of the year,” in my review. Starring Harold Perrineau, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Eion Bailey, the series finds a family stuck in a time loop and forced to acclimate to a town made up of stranded travelers. Just when they think things couldn’t get any worse, they discover that when the sun goes down and terrifying monsters come out to hunt. The cast of this fantastic, dark series also includes Hannah Cheramy, Simon Webster, Ricky He (The Good Doctor), Chloe Van Landschoot, Shaun Majumder, Corteon Moore (Utopia Falls), Pegah Ghafoori, David Alpay (Castle Rock), Elizabeth Saunders (Clarice), Elizabeth Moy, and Avery Konrad. During my interview with Harold Perrineau, he explained one of the things that make the creatures so terrifying. “They just walk because you know why? You’ve got nowhere to go. That’s scary.”
