The ‘Fallout’ Series at 25! [Safe Room Podcast]
Before diving into this week’s brand-new episode of Safe Room, please check out this month’s edition of Horror Bytes featuring @HorrorVisuals!
War never changes, but Fallout certainly has.
The Fallout franchise has lived many lives in the 25 years since Interplay Entertainment released its seminal post-apocalyptic RPG. From turn-based isometric to action RPG to massively multiplayer online, Fallout has never shied away from change.
While some of these changes were more difficult for long-time fans to swallow, Fallout has consistently delivered on Nuclear age gallows humor and singularly creative storytelling no matter the form its gameplay takes.
So for this week’s episode, Neil and I dive into what makes the Fallout franchise such a standout RPG series 25 years later, our favorite elements of Bethesda storytelling, and our favorite entries in the franchise! –Jay Krieger

Here at Halloweenies, we love practical effects—there’s a reason why one of our categories is called “Great Graphics.” Well, consider this a full-length “Great Graphics” episode, where we talk to the effects team behind the titular puppet of Pinocchio Unstrung, in theaters this Friday. As the latest installment in the Twisted Childhood Universe, Pinocchio ups the franchise’s game by featuring a villain that’s entirely practical, created with a stunning mix of animatronics and, of course, puppetry.
So, take a seat at the workbench for a spirited interview between Halloweenie co-host Dan Caffrey and MASTERS FX President and Founder (and special effects legend in his own right) Todd Masters, Pinnochio Lead artist and Designer Kiana Larson, and Lead Animatronics Joshua Raymond. Learn how they pulled off such a dazzling and terrifying puppet, where they think the effects industry is headed, the movies that made them want to be FX artists, a few tidbits of Nightmare On Elm Street history, and more.
Pinocchio himself might even pop by for an appearance.
