Synopsis/Details
Did anyone notice the apocalypse? Seems the world ended a while ago and things just keep on going and it’s not all horror and mutants. Not all the time. The apocalypse isn’t like we see on TV. On TV it’s all fungus-headed killers and either slow zombies, fast zombies or mutant video game zombies ending civilization. But where is the humor? Can’t we laugh at the end of the world? Maybe make friends with the mutants? Astor and Terry didn’t ask to be roommates, but here we are. The ex-wasteland warrior and the artist, not to mention Terry’s little mutant sidekick, Slug, are now roomates. Throw in Zed, an undead neighbor, some warlords and you have the perfect neighborhood to kick back and watch it all burn. We can even have a nice day out at the dump! Learn how to survive! The show will teach you: What is proper zombie-stabbing etiquette? How do you politely turn down a free meal from a cannibal? Are bullets a replacement for money or just min/maxing robbery? How do you greet a new warlord? These questions and more are explored each week as Terry and Astor, along with their friends and neighbors, negotiate the wastelands and the various factions that vie for supremacy. Come and join us at the end of the world where everything is eerily familiar! Pilot Episode Astor, a wasteland warrior since birth, fights zombies with skill and elegance until a giant mutated zombie breaks his hip. He is dragged to safety by a mysterious stranger. Meanwhile, Terry, a non-binary artist, is set upon by raiders and their bicycle is destroyed. Unfortunately for the raiders, they wake up Slug, a toddler-sized mutant with an appetite for heads. Terry and Astor meet in a destroyed house with three walls and a pile of rubble. They meet the local warlord as well as Brandon, who claims to not have been bitten. Other Episodes: Black Friday Savior A Bad Ass arrives with the savior of all human kind in tow, looking for a secret CDC lab. The savior is a very annoyed teen. Fortunately for Astor, the mall is cleared out so it’s time to loot! Love Language Looking for a date, Astor puts up a sign on a fence post and accidently starts a dating site. Zed tries to teach Terry to speak zombie, with mixed results. No Pets Allowed Slug gets everyone in trouble on a holiday when the “no mutants” rule is strictly enforced. Astor tries to get into an exclusive fight club. Down in the Dumps It’s Warlord Day at the dump and partying is mandatory! Terry draws portraits a bit too real and Astor tries to join a mutant trash band. There Goes the Neighborhood A rival warlord shows up and Slug starts a war. Astor and Terry try to stay alive when a pregnant woman comes into town. Zed opens up a restaurant.
