Episode 384--18 Wheels of Justice
Thursday May 25, 2023
Thursday May 25, 2023
We're celebrating another of our birthdays! Greg's getting a year older, and he wants to cover a show we have talked about for years but there was little footage of it in English until recently. We're finally covering 18 Wheels of Justice. Can a man in the witness protection program avenge the loss of his wife and daughter by taking down organized crime and G. Gordon Liddy with the help of his big-wheeled truck?
NOTE: Chico used a new microphone for this and the next episode so his audio may drop in and out at points. It should be corrected by next week.

Episode 376--Stacked (2008 UK pilot)
Saturday May 06, 2023
Saturday May 06, 2023
A pre-Doctor Who/Guardians of the Galaxy Karen Gillan appeared in this British pilot, which apparently was the best thing at a certain network's disposal. This was so wrong on so many levels, so much so that we're asking for listener discretion. It did give us 4000-pound breasts.

Episode 372--Whiz Kids
Monday Apr 24, 2023
Monday Apr 24, 2023
In the early 1980s, one of the most popular pieces of electronics was the home computer. (Spoiler: It's still popular to this day!) In the era of the movies Tron and WarGames came the show Whiz Kids, which may have hit a little too close to home for adults.

Episode 368--A Home Run for Love
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
This Saturday marks 76 years since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. We mark the occasion by watching an afterschool special from 1978 about the bond a young boy makes with an older man over their shared love of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson.

Monday Apr 10, 2023
Monday Apr 10, 2023
We've talked about this for over 3 years. Now we're finally talking about the extremely short-lived summer series about a detective and three of his ex-wives solving cases. I Had Three Wives ran for a month before it and CBS went their separate ways.

Live Show 40–Titanic II
Sunday Apr 09, 2023
Sunday Apr 09, 2023
This epic cinematic masterpiece from Dick Van Dyke's grandson comes from the same people who brought you those straight-to-video mockbusters! Titanic II!
Originally released by The Asylum back in 2010, Titanic II is set in the far-off future of 2012! A wealthy billionaire builds his own version of the Titanic (with blackjack and hookers!) but little do they know that history is about to repeat itself!
Can Brooke Burns and Bruce Davison save Greg and Chico from boredom in this movie? Just remember never to let go!

Episode 366--Pushing Daisies
Thursday Apr 06, 2023
Thursday Apr 06, 2023
This Sunday is Easter and we're not talking about cutesy-wootsy bunnies this year?! We're talking about someone who can revive the dead. Pushing Daisies was a critical darling but it couldn't come back from a fate worse than the death of a scripted show in 2008.

Live Show 38–The Kissing Booth 2
Sunday Mar 19, 2023
Sunday Mar 19, 2023
A few months ago, Greg & Chico covered the beginning of an era with "The Kissing Booth". The era continues as Elle & co. juggle senior year, long-distance relationships, college applications, and something that is similar to but legally distinct from Dance Dance Revolution. Pucker up as we talk about "The Kissing Booth 2."

Monday Feb 27, 2023
Monday Feb 27, 2023
Detective shows were big in the early 80s, see Cagney & Lacey, Simon & Simon, Magnum P.I., Hill Street Blues, and others. But what if one of them was a witch? Tucker's Witch tried that. In the end, CBS made it disappear.

Thursday Feb 16, 2023
We've reached another milestone, with the release of episode 350! The Slap isn't known for much more than the titular slap, delivered by Spock?! What the hell Zachary Quinto?
