Fallout Season 2
Joined by a VERY special guest, the Flyover crew tackles Season 2 of the hit video game-turned Amazon Prime series, Fallout. While Walter didn't have time to talk about his celebrity crush on Ella Purnell, they did wax poetic about the connections to the games, soy faced over the plethora of fan service, and how the writers still managed to make this vast and complex world approachable to anyone who's never even played the games.

Walter Lyle, Youtuber, Photographer, Commercial Film Maker- we talk. :)
Send us a textWalter Lyle is a photographer, YouTuber, and commercial filmmaker based in the Southeastern United States. I was intrigued by his YouTube videos that popped up on my feed because he is super relatable, likable, and filled with everyday common knowledge we all need about the photography world today. Neither of us cares about certain name brands because every tool has a purpose. This podcast introduction to Walter is educational, inspiring, and funny! He will definitely be a guest again in the near future. :)Check out Walter's YouTube Channel:

Midnight Special
Midnight Special is Jeff Nichol's 2016 sci-fi homage to Spielberg featuring a super-powered child, a protective father, and Adam Driver as a charming NSA agent.
