Devastated by an alien invasion that left it turned upside down and irradiated, Earth has seen all its children take off to the stars to go to humanity's new home on Titan.  But it's still got Tom Cruise looking out for it, an engineer keeping the machines working as things are closing up shop for good.  But is all what it seems?  If all was what it seemed, wouldn't that be a pretty boring screenplay?  Jump into Oblivion with Post-Apodaclypse hosts Tim Watts and Michael O'Connell for all the stunning visuals, the amazing music, and the wall-to-wall TomCruisery.

Episode 40: (The British) Survivors

No, it's not the 80s Robin Williams/Water Matthau film.  No, it's not the band.  This is Survivors, the 2008 BBC series about the end of (most of) the world by the mother of all viruses.  When the "European flu" kills off 90% of the global population, how will those that remain survive, and how will society rebuild itself?  Follow a group of Britain's few remaining souls as they attempt to answer these questions, and listen as Post-Apodaclypse hosts Tim Watts and Michael O'Connell walk you through the first two episodes of season 1.
