Uh, I'd say the Fallout universe has a very unique feel. I'm not sure I can name many other post apocalyptic settings that take place in an alternate timeline sci-fi 50's. In fact, that's the first thing I'd be worried about them fucking up. I mean, I can basically see it going down like this: Studio exec: Alright, twenty seconds until my break. So tell me about this Fallout Boy show Producer: Uh, again, sir. It's just Fallout Exec: Whatever. Just tell me about it I haven't got all fucking day, here Producer: Well, it's a post-apocalyptic science fiction show Exec: Love it. Fuckin' love it. People are way into that shit right now. Are there robots? Producer: Tons of robots. They all have this really great retro-future look to them and- Exec: The fuck is that? Producer: Well they look like how people in the 1950's would have engineered and built robots... they're kinda boxy and clumsy and they're all wired together from parts you'd find, well... in the 50's. Exec: So they look like cheap shit. That's what you're telling me. Producer: Well, I guess they look kind of cobbled together but it's a stylistic choice because it takes place in an alternate nineteen fif- Exec: Nope. No. No shit robots. Make them shiny. They should look modern. You ever seen I Robot? Will Smith. Fantastic fucking movie. Make them look like that. Clean and glossy. Like iMacs that shoot you with lasers... wait, did you say 1950's? Producer: Yes! It's like an alternate 1950. Like, what if people in the 50's had developed robots and advanced technology? So we get to do a period setting in an established time from our history, but we get to play with all these cool science fiction concepts. We're really interested in capturing the feel of the decade. In fact we even got an actor from one of the original games to play this radio DJ- Exec: Radio? You mean 50's radio? You mean fuckin' golden oldies while people are shooting lasers and blowing off heads? Producer: Yeah! Isn't that historical anachronism just the c- Exec: Just the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of? Totally agree. Who the fuck would even like that? You know who turns their TV on to listen to music from the 50's? No one. Because fucking old people have radios and jukeboxes and shit like that. No. Terrible idea. A younger demographic would never go for it. Never. You know what we need? You know what music would go great with this? What would go great with this is uh... what was that band I mentioned... Producer: Uh... fallout... boy? Exec: That's the band. That is the band. That's the music the kids like. That's what's gonna be on your show. Every episode. Goes perfect with it too, I mean Fallout, Fallout Boy. Fuckin' perfect. Goes great with the robots. Oh, and lose the 50's altogether too, that's just... that's just fuckin queer. Producer: ... Exec: *looks at clock* Well, that's my lunch break, gotta go. Real glad we got to talk about this. Really excited for this. I think we've hit fucking gold here, kid. Fucking gold!
