Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game Developers Show Off the Klowns' Wacky Weapons

Prime Video’s Fallout TV series takes a smart approach to the video game franchise canon. Rather than trying to adapt a particular game or storyline, it uses the Fallout games as a fictional and aesthetic baseline. But the series plants a few narrative flags, making decisions about who started the franchise’s nuclear war and giving one of its most iconic images, the character known as Vault Boy, a proper origin story.

Amazon and Bethesda's Fallout TV show is now available to stream over Amazon's Prime subscription service. Picture it: the post-apocalyptic America of Fallout, radroaches and stimpacks and all, except that this being a TV adaptation, the first hour doesn't consist entirely of trying to persuade Bethesda's face editor not to make you look like your character's soul has been sucked out. Instead, you you can kick back with a can of Nuka Cola and watch flesh-and-blood stars Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins and Aaron Moten rove the wasteland. I caught the first couple of episodes last week, and while I find the show's aesthetics off-putting - it's kind of a Fallout themepark, rather than a convincing world - I do think there's the makings of a fun tale here.

The beauty of the movieKiller Klowns from Outer Space is the way the title tells you exactly what you are going to get. A small town has been invaded by aliens, who happen to look like Clowns.
