Episode Synopsis

Las Vegas has seen its share of wild nights — but what happens when the world actually ends? In honor of the upcoming season of "Fallout" set in New Vegas and a Fallout fan celebration in Goodsprings this weekend, co-host Dayvid Figler teams up with filmmaker Darlene Dalmaceda and movie podcaster David Rosen to rank the best (and worst) apocalypse movies set in Sin City. From "Mars Attacks!" to "Blade Runner 2049" and the cult favorite "Six String Samurai," they explore why Hollywood loves to destroy Las Vegas — and imagine what a real post-apocalyptic Vegas might look like (spoiler: no A/C, no water, and probably still some gambling).
