What if the end of the world was coming… and only a few people were invited to survive it underground? In this episode, we dive into Paradise, the Hulu thriller that has us asking, “Wait… could this really happen?”
SUMMARY
In this episode, the DANG! the duo gets swept into the apocalyptic drama of Paradise, a Hulu series starring James Marsden and Sterling K. Brown. Without giving away too much (okay, maybe just a little), Todd and Bettijo explore the moral questions, survival logistics, and creepy plausibility of an elite underground city built to outlast a global disaster.
From therapist-led survival lotteries to electric vehicles zipping through subterranean tunnels, Todd and Bettijo examine what the show gets right—and hilariously wrong—about prepping for the worst. The conversation goes beyond plot points and into real-life parallels like Cold War bunkers, GPS privacy, and the age-old battle over chick flicks vs. bang-bang shoot-em-ups.
Along the way, they ask the big questions: Could this really happen? Would we even want to survive in a place like that? And why is it always the therapists who get shafted?
