While breaking down Prime Video’s “Fallout,” showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet recognized that they were headed straight toward a “whopper pileup” in their finale.

“We talked briefly about spreading the gravy a little thinner, as you spread gravy, of course,” jokes Wagner. “And at some point, there was a moment we were like, ‘Fuck it, it’s whopper city.’”
