Idiots Unleashed: Post Apocalypse media tropes and reality
Join the Idiots as they embark on a dangerous journey, just the two of them, across desolate, raider infested, radioactive wastelands, where there biggest concern is finding more gasoline... and discussing why every single part of that concept is bullshit.
The Lone Wanderer roaming the wasteland. The survivalist set to ride out the apocalypse in his basement bunker stocked up with bullets and beans. Scavenging the ruins of a decades or even centuries old civilization looking for gasoline or bullets. Zombies continuing to shamble around for years or even decades after the outbreak. Ark ships seeking out distant solar systems to save the human race. While these concepts all make for entertaining media, they all have one thing in common: They don't work. Join the Idiots as they discuss some of these concepts and why, when applied to even a basic level of realism, they utterly fall apart.
