In this episode of the No More Late Fees podcast, Jackie and Danielle welcome returning guest Maria for a hilarious pop-culture game night. Together they build the ultimate “bunker survival squad” draft, choosing fictional characters from movies and TV who might actually help them survive the end of the world. From adventurous heroes to unexpected comfort characters, the picks get surprisingly strategic—and very funny.
Along the way, the conversation spirals into everything we love about nostalgic pop culture:
- comfort shows and underrated TV series
- fish-out-of-water movie tropes
- unexpected movie recommendations
- Blockbuster-style “Employee Picks” for your next movie night
Expect debates about iconic characters, deep cuts from the 1990s and early 2000s, and the kind of nostalgic movie banter that feels like hanging out in the aisles of your favorite video store.
