"I'm like a vault!" 😂 Ella Purnell and the Fallout team on Easter eggs and sweating out your eyes
The stars of Fallout - namely Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan and Walton Goggins, alongside director Jonathan Nolan and Bethesda Game Studios’ very own Todd Howard - joins BBC Radio 1's film critic Ali Plumb to talk about turning the much-loved game franchise into a Prime Video series, touching on Easter eggs, baking the perfect tone “soufflé”, approaching NPC’s with a weapon outstretched, saying “jumper” instead of “sweater” and the fine art of sweating out of your eye sockets.

Matt Berry as the robot Mr Handy is the best casting ever!
AND, his last name in the show is Codsworth!
Yea it’s a little sad to see them replace John Cleese, but I get why it’s not realistic long term option… definitely a great replacement
He’s got 100 in Charismaaeeee
@@Your_Politics_Bore_Me When did Cleese voice Codsworth? In fo4 and 3 it was Stephen Russell, the man who voiced half of Skyrim.
Absolutely
I knew Ella Purnell and Goggins would be really good, but the Maximus interrogation scene was a fantastic flex from Aaron Moten and really commendable for Nolan to rely on his actors to offer more stagecraft
of the three protagonists, he impressed me the most because I also knew the other two would drive it out of the park. I'm really excited to see his arch in season 2
Maximus' actor was absolute dog water. I can't believe he got that role. His acting was so bad.
@@titanayrumarc. Not arch.
@@gohomehero I dunno, the bits in the Vault where hes sitting there in his robe and the goofy grin on his face had me creasing.
@@TEMINIX who knows: “arch” might ironically fit 🤷♂️
We need an “okie dokie” update in one of the games to just have that as a dialogue option for everything
May I introduce you to the beauty of mods?
@@juanfranciscomartinezfuent9611 Honestly forgot about that for some reason lol
@@juanfranciscomartinezfuent9611 sill technically an update haha
Fallout London is the closest we will get for a long time. So let's hope they put an "okey dokey" in there somewhere.
I second that motion.
Dear Hollywood, this is how you do promotion: You talk about the show/movie and its inner works!
oh hollywood cant do that they are to satanistic
More like “hey interviewers, this is how you make celebrity interviews interesting.” Everything Ali touches is gold.
@@billleeee Thats just the cherry on top.
Exactly. And what you do not do and should not do is: talk aboult Woke stuff Nobodt wants that
I'm a big fan of the interviewer !!
I was blown away by how well they managed to nail the tone of the games. All that was missing was having the soundtrack play through a pipboy a couple times.
Agree
And Ron Perlmans war never changes
@@Whacka82I’m so glad they saved that line for the finale.
Appreciate the recon info on Ron Pearlman Easter egg. I'm on ep 2 and loving it.
there’s some conversations that feel like charisma checks lol
Having binged the entire series, they were all really good. I knew Goggins would be, because.. I mean.. it's Goggins. But everyone was stellar.
I like the little monologue he does before fucking things up so cool
What does 'binged' mean?
@@JesseCaine to watch many episodes in rapid succession
Ella Purnell really seems like someone who can play a live action Corpse Bride
Holy shit!!! Yes
Or Elizabeth from Bioshock!
Someone on reddit thought her eyes are CGI 😂
i first saw her in a tim burton movie called miss peregrine's home for peculiar children, she plays the girl that's light as air in that film and was stoked to see that she's in fallout!
Damn Yeah!! Good Idea
Ella has these really expressive eyes that work so well for Lucy's character and for portraying this kind of innocent and honest naiveté, I feel. My favourite moment on the down low was the scene with the ripper saw. The deep sigh, the look... "Okiedokie!" and BZZZZZZZZZZZZ.... :D
Okey dokey 🤣😎🤘🏻
She did great! Her character behavior and expressions reminds me of Harley Quinn. 👌
@@Dene181 If you mean the cartoon character from the Kevin Conroy Batman days, sure. But let's not insult Ella by lumping her in with Birds of Prey etc. Harley Quinn! :D
oh yeah it was even better when the military dudes from brotherhood of steel find the body without the head and go "the ghoul must have done it, not the girl... yeah definitely ghoul" :D
@@EternalKvK Yeah they wrote the brotherhood of steel well, they immediately assume it's the radiated ghoul rather than the vault dweller which is a fair assumption. But also they have literally met the previous protagonists of the games and should know how dangerous they can be.
Lucy is damn adorable, quirky and so naive. The negotiation scene was adorable.
And so brave! She's got her quests and she's getting them done!
"You've gotten more British in the last 10 minutes" - totally get that! One of my roommates in college was from Boston, and he had an accent, but it was never overly thick. But whenever his buddies from home came to visit, it sounded like we were suddenly in the middle of Good Will Hunting.
It's called "code switching". Recognised thing in linguistics.
This is my dad too. His Boston accent gets really thick when talking to old friends
How'd ya like them apples?
She looks like she has an Alita: Battle Angel filter on but irl.
It's just a side effect of the rads.
Huge eyes
i thought the same, so cute
She looks like how you'd describe Mila Kunis to someone who had never seen her.
@@MrShoryuken1Lol that’s hilarious and accurate
I love how enthusiastic the actors and creators are about the project, the lore, the game and how hard they're all working to please not only the fans in general but specifically the fans of the game. So refreshing to see in this day and age.
Aron Aaron Moten acted the heck out of that part. Bravo!
My name Aron 😎😎😎😎
i never played the game so idk if that’s how the character acts but i found his performance terrible. his facial expressions were so damn cringe i couldn’t get over it.
@@wh1skeybudhes not a character in a game. this is in the same universe but based in a different part of the US. maybe play a fallout game and you’ll understand
Thanks to all the people who were generous enough to thumbs up my post even though I made a spelling error. My faith in humanity just got a little boost 😀
@@blakemherreraIndeed. It is also canon
She's a treat. Looking forward to watching through the show
2 discoveries for me were Aaron Moten (Maximus) and Dave Register (Chet).
Loved both as well. Even the guy who played Lucy's brother Norm did super good. I really loved his character.
Chet had one of the best retorts to Norm that summed up everything so well.
glad to see Arcane got a shoutout here - would've loved if Ali told Ella that he'd recommended the show to Henry Cavill who loved it
I loved the attention to detail. Anyone else 'have a moment' when we see a rusted and half-buried Assaultron in episode 2?
YES!!... the robots fo4 added were some of the best worldbuilding done in that game imo. loved to see one as an easter egg for fans
Great show and actors
Can’t wait to watch it.
There are a lot of critics of the TV show, like "lore" fanatics. I just don't care about any of that, it's some of the BEST entertainment I have seen in many years. Great actors too!! Attention to details, well done. I give it an A+.
I'm huge on lore myself but I honestly felt the liberties taken in the show were of minimal impact while also either making more sense or more easily setting up more for future games and the show. Edit: Idk why I said more so much
I'm a lore fanatic and let me tell you: 99% of the people complaining about changes or mistakes are just plain wrong and not so knowledgeable themselves... 😅
@TheFos88 what do you think about the whole. They messed up the NCR thing etc in the show
@@bryanotero123 They didn't. People are hung up on Shady Sands being destroyed because they think it happened before New Vegas, except it didn't. In the scene where the history of the NCR is shown, it says "2277" as "the fall of Shady Sands, with an arrow pointing next to it to a nuke, indicating that it happened AFTER then
Yeah im mainly a fan of the first game and i thought it was perfectly fine, the brotherhood is more like fallout 1 than any of the other games even 2 and New Vegas, the vaults had intrigue about them rather than the “evil for no reason” from bethesda vaults.
The Fallout TV series is freaking awesome. I was prepared to be disappointed before I started watching because most video game adaptations are terrible. But this show is beyond amazing. As a Fallout fan since the 90s, I have to say bravo. The acting, directing, writing, and all the audio-visual details are spot on. Great job!
Holy Christ he said the tone and he is completely right
Lucy is so lovable and happy-going ... Maximus is always ackward and represses himself... It is funny... They mix well
Yeah that's something I really enjoyed, her can-do and his "WTF?".
when the knight took of his helmet and it was Michael Rappaport i was like lmfao no way!! i knew i recognized those "oh fuck, oh fuck fuuuuuck" great cast tho, I'm halfway through and its pretty decent so far. but as Todd would say, "it just works"
What else is he from?
@@gravybate2283Prison break, atypical, and he voice acted in saints row 1 (the original 2006 game not the 2022 one) and saints row 2.
@@LocalCollon saints row? Oh man, that's awesome
@@gravybate2283 yup. He did a good job. He's also in gta 3.
@@gravybate2283he's been around forever. Had a small part in True Romance
Amazing interview w/ these pairings. Glad to see the two young actors both get shine.
What an absolute blast of an interview. Fun, engaging, informal, with love and care for the franchise it's depicting.
Ali is the best in the "game"!
Ella was fantastic in the show, I was excited to know she was part of this after her performance as the Voice of Jinx in Arcane Aaron Moten is new for me, and he definitely nailed it! The interrogation scene was enthralling, and he just seems so fun Of course Goggins was amazing, just extremely charismatic and immense presence in every scene And MacLachlan fit perfectly and I can't imagine anyone else playing the character
I was waiting for this! I honestly don't watch anything popular anymore before I've seen Ali's interview with the cast and crew!
"I grabbed a moldy one." That really drove home how much form over function the Overseer of Vault 4 was. He gets a cup of coffee, leaves it on his desk until it's growing mold in the leftover cold coffee, and then picks it up and drinks out of it because he's forgotten which cup is relatively recent and which one has been there a week or more. Someone who thinks about "why" and "how" isn't going to just leave stale coffee on his desk for a week. But he doesn't have a routine, or a procedure, for getting rid of the old cup. He just has one for getting a fresh cup. It just never occurs to him that following a pointless routine that doesn't allow for practical considerations isn't a good idea. Then, later in the scene, he *insists* to Lucy's face that her name is actually Gucy (pronounced "Goosey") because that's what someone wrote down on her paperwork. Doesn't matter that she knows what her own name is, only the paperwork matters. Routine over reality.
BRAVO! Fallout perfectly encapsulated in one scene
Went right over my head💀
I really love this guy's questions.
Aye, Ali is a national treasure, Radio 1 won't be the same if he ever leaves.
Show was really well done. Didnt plan to binge it, but couldnt stop this wonderful trainwreck. Excellent acting, sets, costumes, props, cinematography. Just cant praise them enough. And so many delightful cameos.
It’s 4 in the morning. I just binged this wonderful series in one go. I’ll watch it again just to look for all the Easter eggs I miss
I need to see more seasons, that was amazing
Spent my birthday binging the entire season, and absolutely loved it! Already jonesing for season 2!
What's jonesing?
@@deanwalker9605means he’s afraid of Santa Claus
@@Ja.floppaho ho ho meeeerry christmass
you all did an amazing job. thank you.
It’s so rare a show has actors and roles that make you like everyone equally for different reasons.
Seriously though! Loved the main characters, and side characters like Norm and Chet.
Nelly Furtado - Im like a Vault Would be the perfect theme song.
Almost shed a tear when I heard Todd's voice. The master creator. Show is great, cant wait for S2!
It just works
It took me a while to warm up to Maximus but I became a huge fan of the character and the actor.
Another great series of interviews by Ali Plumb! This show was so great, and this cast is incredible.
They nailed it with this show. So good.
As a fan of the games, I gotta say that this is the best and most faithful adaptation of a game that I've ever seen, I'm really enjoying the show! Also, is it just me or does Maximus and his journey (and also the actor) somewhat remind you of Finn from Star Wars?
LMAO yes they look alike
My favorite video game of all time, thank you everyone who worked on this fantastic journey
There's half a dozen games and some could not be more different from the others.
@@krashd ?? U good ?
Definitely the most anticipated video game adaptation and Jonathan Nolan was the perfect fit to direct it
Some easter eggs I can remember after binging the whole thing last night (spoilers): Mr. Howard, New Vegas, NCR armor and helmet (literally my avatar), Dogmeat, Groknak the barbarian, Enclave, cryochambers, computer hacking, the S.P.E.C.I.A.L and the skill system (speech, gun,...)
the entire thing was one big easter egg love letter to fans. And New Vegas, chef's kiss. Season 2 here we come. There was a billboard that was decayed for Sunset Sarsaparilla, too, in one scene.
@@eboethrasher yeah, I listed the harder to see stuff, but the whole thing is in the fallout world
Hanks code was 101097, the release date of fallout 1
Can Fallout objects appearing in a Fallout show really be considered easter eggs? They would only be easter eggs if they appeared in a show that wasn't about Fallout...
Honestly this series has been phenomenal.
This show is amazing. What a triumph!!!
Such a great show, they absolutely killed it.
One thing that is really striking to me, that I really appreciate, is the way the actors deliver their dialogue. The timing, emotion, and inflections really make the show and characters pop.
Love the games, loving the show, and falling in love with all of these new characters... But can I just say for all of us how much we love Ali Plumb too!!
Ella Purnell looks beautiful in this interview!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
She always beautiful
💯. Loved her in Ms Peregrine
She's stunning in general.
Banger of a show! 🎉
I swear I've seen Denzel Washington in this guy performance really interesting.
The first time I saw Aaron in the show I actually thought it was Denzel's son or something.
saaaame
You do know Denzel Washingtons son is a actor. John Washington. He sounds just like his dad and actually a pretty good actor. He was the black dude in Tenet.
I thought he was the younger brother of Peele when he was frowning in some scenes.
I find him to be a way better actor than John David Washington too. Like JWD is way to monotone. Always wished Yayha Abdul Mateen had gotten the Tenet role he would have made that movie way better.
An absolute awesome series
They did such an amazing job replicating all the tiny decorative details from the game. I've been a constant Leo Decaprio pointing meme thru the whole episodes...
I'm so glad to hear that! I'm the same kind of person (I was a trial of patience to my bf when visiting Venice after playing Assassin's Creed) and Fallout is by far my favorite game franchise! I haven't started watching the series yet as I really need the entire season so I've been biting my nails, worrying if it would be true to the game. Your words are truly comforting to me 🥰
The sets and props are the real stars. Nothing feels cheap (except maybe some of the cgi). I love they built real sets To edit not saying everything and everyone weren't brilliant; they were. But the world they built was just that good
The show was so good that all that was truly missing for fans of the games were super mutants and deathclaws. I’m guessing in season two is when we’ll probably see them.
I'm actually glad they left so much stuff out bc they needed some things for the next season
@@Rick_the_OG_door_technicianFallout takes place in a world where literally anything can exist. There’s aliens too. If they run out of game stuff, they can just make up new creatures. It’s not an issue at all. Every fallout game makes up new creatures anyway
@@Trabsol this is not a good argument at all. Of course they can always add new stuff in, but seing creatures, characters, weapons and so on that already existed will make people feel something which the new stuff they come up with won't.
@@Trabsol and it would feel forced if they would just start making too much up.
@@Rick_the_OG_door_technician things only feel forced when they aren’t good. Look at Rick and morty or family guy, nobody ever calls anything there forced because it’s consistently good despite them making up random stuff for years. It’s always been about the writing.
A lot of people don't care for Maximus it seems, but I really enjoyed how morally ambiguous he seems early on and how he goes from stultified, 'rabbit in the headlights' bewilderment to just about vaguely competent by the end once he has stakes beyond his own skin to think about. There's something about him that reminds me of a Coen Brothers sort of character.
What an amazing show!!
Love these actors
Such a good series definitely worth the watch!
Loved the show which was a great relief! Particularly the ending - setting the tone for season two with a deathclaw skull and new Vegas in the distance. Goody gumdrops 😁
Raced to Fallout Episode 6 already and its fantastic
The valt colors and suit and the old 70s look is what does it for me,i might use other gear over it but most of the time i keep my vaultsuit or armor on,ya i switch it up with other gear but i always come back to it. and ofc the music is great and the brotherhood armor it all comes together so wel
"the problem with being competitive and not very good is, you're just angry all the time!" Yes Ella...I feel you :D
Loved this series
Great cast, excellent transition from game universe to tv.
Just binged it all, brilliant Fallout is number one okydoky
Never played the game, just saw the series come up on screen when I started Netflix on TV. Watched episode one and immediately told my Dad about it that night to see if he would enjoy it. I ended up bing watching thru episode 8 before I could allow myself to go to bed. Absolutely loved it! Cant wait for there to be more, I hope there is more then 8!
The actor for Lucy seems so down to earth and she’s so charming and funny!!! I would love to see her in more comedies❤❤
great cast, great script, great action and acting. it can be done.
Ella voicing Jinx in Arcane, and now this, she’s really left an awesome mark in the games adapted into shows. Even if she’s not that good at the games herself 😅
Indeed she has been fantastic I love that she shows the material so much respect such a difference that is such a positive
I was pleasently surprised with the first episode its done pretty wel
Got to love it when they don't piss on the game.
The cast were great in the show, I had such good time watching! Binged the whole freaking thing already haha
I went in with hype being minimal and figured I'd watch a couple episodes everyday, and then it became "okay I'll watch half and then the other half tomorrow", all to finally be at the last episode saying "screw it, let's finish this". It was such a good show.
Todd Howard on Radio 1
It just works?
She is an amazing actress. I can't think of 2 characters more opposed than Jinx and Lucy, and she pulls them off great.
It her eyes I just can’t stop looking at at them beautiful
They are abnormally large. Like seriously, like one size larger to fit her head. She’s still cute though. :)
pervert
They are scary af...
Golem
Simp-sons
I adore these two
Finiished the series saturday morning .Had no idea about the game barely the premise aside from the trailer that i barely remember and i was so glad that i didnt knpw much of anything .Fantastic series Ellla purnell and Walter goggins superb casting needless to say im hooiked what a ride cannot wait for season 2.
They really really nailed the tone of a fallout story absolutely! Aaron is bang on. Great job by the writers and directors.
Ella, Aaron and Walton all deserve emmy noms for their roles in this. Such an incredible show. Now where is the Elder Scrolls show Todd?
2:50 Okey dokey!
so obsessed with this show! tbh it's a masterpiece and I haven't even played the games
Loved the show.
I've only seen the first episode so far as I'm trying to pace myself and make the show last. Super tough to do seeing all the hype from people who binged, but I'm avoiding spoilers and muted everything fallout on social media. The Fallout games are some of my favorite of all time. Poured hundreds of hours into each entry, and the show hooked me with the very first episode. Can't wait to start the next one tonight!
Excellent Show 😎
I'm having withdrawals after binging the entire season on release, counting the days till season 2.....FOR THE BROTHERHOOD!!!!
This interviewer was wonderful. Well done sir
Jona plays the games thats how they capture the tone so well
God Ella Purcell is so damn cute, and if I could make it happen I would recast Kang in the MCU with Alex. He’s such a good actor and looks exactly like a younger Jonathan Majors
I believe Ella Purnell had evolved from bush babies.
When I first heard my favourite game was getting an accurately depicted show, I instantly said, it needs to be from multiple points of view, showing people from different factions, inevitably meeting, and going on a quest together, i was pretty much spot on Though I dont see any other way they could have done it better really haha I've got 2 episodes left and I've been smiling throughout every episode, because its so perfect, I 100% guarantee this success will green light *The Elder Scrolls* Series, along with Fallout season 2, makes me so happy 😅
Elder scrolls will be so hard to adapt. Like how do you adapt the world of tamriel well, set it in a part of tamriel not seen in the games, or present all of tamriel in some way? It's a much harder adaptation effort either way they try to.
@@SeanSMST you say that, but Fallout is technically bigger than Tamriel, its the entirety of America, if you don't consider what happens in the rest of the world, they could do what they did with fallout, 3 stories from different races, that end up interacting whilst on some quest, I think 1 of the characters should be the dragon born though, it doesn't need to incorporate everything from the elder scrolls, just snippets, just like fallout didnt have deathclaws, molerats, protections, super mutants ect They have so many possibilities with both fallout and elder scrolls, because they could have like 6 spin off series, because the lore is so thick, maybe we will finally find out what happened to the dwarves, just like we finally got confirmation that vault tech dropped the nukes Just think Game of thrones with extra magika
it just works!
After a year of being in my current workplace I got a few staff and residents saying Okey-dokey
As soon as Ella said she's on "Level 2" of the game, I knew she hadn't played the games for more than an hour 😂
Are there even levels? I assumed it was mission based free roam.
@@ChuckleCharlie69 there are levels. You also receive points to buy perks to improve your character. You start like a normal human, and end like the ghoul, basically hahahah.
Level 2 in f4 should be right after you fight the raiders in concord if you go linear, in f1 you can get to lvl 2 if you kill all the rats in the cave
Well since she seems to be pretty unused to gaming she might have been running around a bit with no combat, and at least with F4 you can get a pretty decent idea of the basics of the world that quick.
Ella is such an optimist that even when asked to describe her least favorite part filming Fallout, she still made it sound like the time of her life.
The Show just Works
Ella reminds me of Mila Kunis for some reason.
jinx goes fallout, i like
I say okey-dokey on a daily basis before the show 😂
im a simple man, i see ali plumb and im obligated to watch the interview
