The reason the guy was flashing the camera so much was a clever trick by the production team that conditioned the party goers to ignore the nuke flash.

Chris Nolan: I am making Oppenheimer and guess what? Barbie is going to be released the same day. Jon Nolan: Bro - watch me flex. I am combining both.

To give some context, in Fallout's universe the transistor wasn't invented until much later than when it was invented in our timeline, so most their tech runs on tubes and stuff or nuclear power. It's why their TV screens and computers are so bulky still for instance. They basically got stuck in the "50s", which is why all their cars and such have that distinct style to it The bombs dropped in 2077, so it's 2296 when Lucy/Maximus and the Ghoul's stories pick up Those suits that the Brotherhood has is Power Armor (T60 variant), and is actually pre-nuclear war tech, as is most of what they use to fight or travel There are 122 known vaults, vault 31, 32, 33 are the only ones we know are connected to one another (hence their "trading", this isn't normal for other vaults) Since it's been 219 years, you can understand that most of the people in such a vault are related one way or another to each other ^^; Hopefully this helps a bit in understanding the world :)

Betty is "Blind Al", from Deadpool.

People at the party didn't react to the light from the nuclear bomb because they thought it was the flash from the camera.

The girl who played Cooper Howard's daughter (Teagan Meredith), was so amazing, that pure look of terror she had when she said "Is it your thumb or mine", was just amazing. 3:10 "You'll learn some day" 3:45 "Is it your thumb or mine"

"I was bred for 🍞ing" 😂 So happy you two are watching this

At the cemetery, the guy on the left had a "Junk Jet". It's a weapon, kinda like a jet engine, You load the magazine hopper with random pieces of small junk, pull the trigger and it fires a piece of junk, at high velocity.

In the Fallout universe the bombs fell October 23, 2077 Saturday morning. The first nuke hit the east coast at 945am and the west coast right after. For 2 hours bombs continuously fell on the US. One can only imagine the hell on Earth those 2 hours must've felt and looked like. Although the show changed the time of the bombing, still the same day just later on in the day, it still did amazing in capturing the feel and atmosphere of the games.

All the Fallout fans collectively chuckle when you mention that you didn't think it would be this violent lol. Fallout is generally marked by violence, humor and tragedy. Been a long time fan of the games and this show was not a disappointment. Also been a long time fan of movies and TV and man it's super well written. Appreciating this one from all angles, hope you guys enjoy it! If a bit of context will help: The Cold War never ended after the 50s and 60s, it continued to escalate. Time went on but style didn't, you actually found the right term for this--Retro Futurism. All the wacky stuff in the old pulp scifi comics came true and this continues until the end of the world in 2077. The rest you will very much find out.

If no one has mentioned it yet, the background music (not the 50s songs) is composed by the Game of Thrones composer, Ramin Djawadi.

In response to you saying that you can't believe how much violence there is, well, there is a perk in the game called "Bloody Mess"!!!😂

Love it! The Fallout show completely understands the atmosphere of the games. Along with all the zillions of props, pieces, sets, and background elements that Fallout fans recognize and love, the show perfectly understands the grit, violence, humor, satire, over the top propaganda, eccentric personalities and chaos of the _feel_ of Fallout. Think of it as an alternate-history version of the world with a 1940s/50s/60s Americana vision of a sci-fi future in which the American political view and "fear" of Communists and nuclear war set against backdrop of wildly unregulated capitalism *is dialed up to 11.* A beautifully absurdist vision, near-perfectly adapted for the screen from the Fallout series of games that first came out in the 1990s. Bethesda Games Studio and the production team alongside Jon Nolan and Lisa Joy did an insanely good job with the show, and all the performances are just _

Yay! Jackie from JCPenney!!

Ella does such a good American accent

Walton Goggins was my fav character in Justified.

11:40 "i know nothing about this show" ... and this is only the beginning

It was the Chinese that America was fighting a war against and ended up exchanging nuclear weapons. Old lore before Bethesda bought the franchise left it ambiguous because once the world was ruined, it hardly mattered who fired first because the end result was the same anyway. The Brotherhood of Steel are remnants of the U.S. military who were assigned as guards to a top secret facility that was working on making super soldiers through genetic manipulation. When said military personnel found out that the scientists at that facility were experimenting on military prisoners, both Chinese and U.S. citizens who disagreed with the government, they mutinied and ended up shooting all of the scientists for their atrocities. Then got on the radio and openly declared that they were seceding from the government to force a response. No answer came. The day after they brought their families inside the facility for their protection. The day after that, the bombs fell. As a result of those experiences, the Brotherhood formed and made it their mission to preserve and regulate technology. The thought being that humanity can easily replace its own numbers, but once the knowledge and ability to make a laser rifle is gone, that's it, it's gone forever. On the flip side of that, clearly humanity went down some very dangerous roads technologically and so that should be prevented, so anything that tampers with humanity itself or can cause mass destruction should be destroyed.

I love how everyone reacts the same. "Not The Pickles!" As someone who hates pickles I failed to understand the tragedy!

This episode and a couple others were directed by Jonathan Nolan, brother of Christopher who made The Dark Knight, Tenet, Interstellar, Oppenheimer etc. It sort of feels like a combination of all of Christopher Nolan's movies.

Hell yeah, now that you guys are watching, I've only got Rob and Trin left to convince lol

I did a little girl squeal when I saw you guys reacted to this

"I think, shes gonna ""get a divorce""" lmfao

Just one word… YES!!!! Very Happy that you guys are watching this!!!

> "Who did that (atomic bombs)?" All explosions that could be seen were on ground level. So, from a logical standpoint, the bombs were placed rather than dropped. Normally, a-bombs are detonated a few kilometers/miles above the ground to (cynical mode on) "get the most out of it"...

so glad Cody and bRIDGeeet !! are watching this show !! we're in for quality content here 🤌

I've never played this game, so excited to see Ella Purnell in this.

Excited to watch this through again with yall! Only thing that sucks is how long they take to make second seasons these days 😅

Ella Purnell also voices Jinx in Arcane, two absolute banger series.

can i say that you two have such a wonderful relationship and commentary is always so funny. i am a part of the Ghoul fangirls but more cause I love Walton Goggins since Justified so Im gobbling it all up.

This isn't The Fall of the House of Usher! 😭 I've been slacking on this, only on episode 5 so far, but really enjoying it. I'm just hoping for a scene at some point where Lucy can't remember where she left a companion..... not because I have lots of experience with that or anything. 😅

Good dad instincts, Shockwave, immediately covered his kid.

This show is great fun, doesn't matter if you haven't played the games although they'll be a lot of questions as the exposition is minimal (thankfully). They've nailed the aesthetic to a tee and the Fallout humour is on point.

Congrats on hitting 100k! Love you guys! 💜

My favorite game franchise finally brought to the tv. It didn't disappoint me. Each episode keeps drawing you in to want to watch the next one ASAP. It helps when you played the game so you know the lore, but you'll learn as you watch. Lot of people have already mentioned lore so I won't repeat it. Awesome show. The Brotherhood of Steel are decedents of a section of the military who mutinied against the government on the day the war happened. They had good reason to so no spoilers. Their so purpose is to collect pre-war technology and information, they've developed into a religious type cult over time.

i am so excited you are doing this. I've been waiting hoping you would.

Yesssss!!

Im so glad yall started this!!

This became my favorite live-action show of the year! Also, will you guys be reacting to X-Men 97? It is the best show Marvel has put out! I have been watching reactions for it and just realized your Channel is missing from my usual reactors lineup.

So glad you guys are doing this show. Can’t wait to watch!

23:20 The big bag is as nod to players, who have a tendency to pick up everything they find in the Fallout games (and other RPGs like it).

Fallout universe - transistors and microchips were never invented, so the world went with the vacuum tubes and nuclear energy into 2077 (when the bombs fell)

So excited to see y'all are reacting to FALLOUT! it's such a blast (no pun intended) 😅

i’ve been waiting for this one TURN IT UP!

I just started this series and OMG! It got me hooked and I only watched 2 episodes.

Yea now we talking I was waiting for the Bridgeco Family to react to this 😛😛😛😃😃😃✨️💥💫

“Cousin stuff”. Lol

Love yall 2..keep up the good work

I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for you guys to react to this show! 😁

U guys doing a fallout 4 playthrough would be so very entertaining and fitting for this series

Cast and showrunners said this takes place 9 years after the Fallout 4 game, if that helps you any. I haven't played any of the games yet (although I did buy The GOTY Editions of 3, New Vegas and 4), so it doesn't step on any knowledge for me, but since it's after the last game, I suppose it wouldn't anyway.

Yes!!!! So happy to see your reactions to this. The show is amazing!!!!!

Buckle up for the ride!!!! Best show in years I have watched, I can not wait for Season 2

The best thing to see right before I got to bed, tomorrow I get the joy of rewatching with my favs 🙌

FYI, Lucy also voices Jynx in Arcane.

Wonderful reaction! Looking forward to the next eps!

Walton Goggins is in a lot of things he was in Django Unchained he was the one torturing him

So glad you guys are checking this out

That oldies vibe with new-age tech is called retrofuturism. It's a super fun genre to explore.

Amazon prime has gained my trust on making games and comics into shows ❤

5:00 Since you don't know the games it is best just to watch to find out who did it. If you played the games you already would know, but it is still great to see how they reveal it.

15:34 I havent seen him in other stuff, but I enjoyed his performance in this show, I'll check out other works hes in.

Her dad is coming Form a very Sandy Planet… Dune

In other news Bubba from forest Gump once again only lived for like 5 minutes.

In the radio broadcast about the US President, his location was "not commented on", likely to be at or en route to Whitespring (real life Hotel Greenbrier in West Virginia, look up "Project Green Island"), and with the president goes an entourage, i.e. The Enclave. Fallout 76 really fleshes this part of the timeline out, allowing players to even explore The Enclave base underneath the hotel. But you have to keep the timeline in mind, because the location of the president and the operations in West Virginia are way before most of the other vaults open up.

you're the only ones I've seen as mad about the waste of pickles as I still am loool

"Theres a ghost!" Instant subscribe

Yaaass!! This is such a fantastic show , you gotta play the games!

Pumped for you guys to watch this 😂😂

You weren't kidding about the talking, good lord lol

11:48 that spit take tho.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fallout is a notoriously violent and dark and gritty game series. It has alot of dark themes and concepts. Get prepared. Also the gun that fires junk is thr junk jet! Literal fave of mine. Nothing more fun then exploding heads with random debris.

Yessssss y’all are watching fallout

Oh this is gonna be a good reaction series. Can't wait for more!

I'm SO GLAD you are watching this. I tried to watch and just couldn't get into it, but with your perspectives, I will for sure be able to follow it without falling asleep!

Very good reaction from you

HAPPY 100K

This show is f--king Insane! Please enjoy.

I don’t comment much, but yall are my new favorite reactors 😭 keep it up!

You guys didnt notice that black Cowboy was Bubba from Forrest Gump did ya? 🤘

Yeah, he changed. 219 years of hate and remorse.

Great reaction! Subscribed.

You guys should really watch a quick lore video about the fallout universe to get more of an idea of what’s going on. IGN and some of those other sites have quick 5-10 minute videos explaining the lore. And the good news is, the tv show is in the canon but it’s a completely separate story so learning about the games won’t spoil anything

Get ready for some fun! 🔥

I'm so looking forward for these reactions! Best game adaptation to the day.

Glad you guys are watching this

You guys will like this but things to note is, this show is full on practical and the show is cannon to the games apparently that's all you need to know

Wait, I just realized, have you not watched Arcane, if not you definitely should, it's an absolute masterpiece, and also has Ella Purnell in it, just don't look up who she voices because it's a spoiler.

Thx for the reaction

As someone who's played every game, watching someone with no knowledge of the world watch this show makes me feel like I'm experiencing everything for the first time again

"Probably to punch you in the face" lmfaooo

Enjoy guys. This show is great. And you dont need to know fallout. Fallout is a dark dark world with relatable characters. Its as wild as wild gets. And the game is no different. Looks like a lot of your followers are giving rundowns on what to know about this universe so im going to just sit back and enjoy.

I’m so glad you guys are watching this!!!

The gene pool is limited in the vaults.

fallout red wedding

Heck yes! I am so excited. I don’t have anything bad to say about this show!!

You know someone has never played Fallout when they comment "I never expected such violence" LoL

Fallout is an insanely fun, compelling and violent game series. Nothing here is out of place... they nailed it.

By the reactions to the violence you can tell you haven't played the game. I haven't played it in a while I played up to new Vegas but haven't since then. But this series is from what I understood and heard take place after all the previous games. I binge watched it all in one day but I have been watching it again today more attention to the detail. Reminds me of when I played it.

He wasn’t very upfront with his sperm counts 🤔 You guys are so funny
