A podcast dedicated to low stakes deep dives into pop culture led by Marcy, a middle-aged, multimedia casual consumer. She is joined by her chosen brother Paul as they discuss science fiction and post apocalyptic TV/Movies. They recently reviewed HBO’s The Last of Us and Avatar the Last Airbender on Netflix. They are now eager to begin discussing the TV show Fallout on Amazon Prime.
Marcy and Paul have been friends and occasional roommates for over 20 years. This means that they've spent countless hours sitting on a couch together watching TV and playing video games. Both of us love books and science, so most episodes include those things. We'd love for you to join us on our cushy couch! Spoilers are expected with this show.

Paul and Marcy are still loving Prime Fallout! This episode is Marcy's favorite because it features...you guessed it...Dog Meat! A famous hero dog in the Fallout game universe. Paul educates us on the dog human connection and Marcy tells the story of a real life dog hero from World War I, Sergeant Stubby. There are lots of silly and fun moments in this episode.

For a 45 minute episode Please Hold My Hand sure packs a punch! Paul gives us a lesson on why gasoline wouldn't really last 20 years into the apocalypse. Marcy realizes that movies with kids being protected by badass adults is her trope of choice. There are plenty of pop culture references to keep you coming back for more.

Secret Tunnel! This episode of Idle Ride Marcy and Paul continue to be frustrated with the shows portrayal of Team Avatar. Paul discusses the problems with spliting the party, but he loves how Bumi was represented. Marcy is all in with the Zuko and Iroh story line. Both wish Aang was given the complexity of story that his animated counterpart had in spades. At the very least you have to stay for Uncle Daddy Iroh!
