A Very Special Podcast

Episode #105: Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again (1990) Release Date: January 16, 2018

Before the The CW blessed us with their rendition of Archie Comics, NBC attempted to turn the wacky world of Riverdale into a weekly television series about Archie and pals as thirty-somethings. The series never came to fruition, but a backdoor pilot in the guise of a made-for-television movie does exist. Oh, and it's amazing in its own strange ways.

This week, Patrick and Kat tracked down a grainy copy on YouTube and decided it was time to head To Riverdale and Back Again, which is such a wordy title.

Episode #104: The Black Cauldron (1985) Release Date: January 1, 2018

The holidays are over and Patrick and Kat have decided to slip back into the wonderful world of Disney, and their biggest financial disaster is the perfect stepping stone. Yes, Patrick and Kat decided to check out The Black Cauldron, a film that did so poorly it nearly crippled Walt Disney's animated film legacy. Anyway, Patrick loved the film and Kat was barely even remotely interested, which makes this a film episode.

Plus, what were Richard Mulligan and Jane Kaczmarek up to in 1985? And find out which A-List actress will never be at a gal pal status with us. Oh, and where the fuck has Amy Heckerling been hiding these last few years?

Episode #103: ER - "A Miracle Happens Here" Release Date: December 28, 2017

Get ready for a holiday hangover, because Patrick and Kat are officially closing the book on Christmas 2017. It's been a wild ride, but the time has come for us to return to random ass episodes of Family Matters, but before we get there, we are taking one last stroll down Candy Cane Lane with a stopover at the hospital from ER. In case you weren't alive in the 1990s, ER was all the rage. The series gave birth to George Clooney being launched into super stardom and also launched a million boners for Noah Wyle.

Anyway, tonight Patrick and Kat decided to check out a Christmas episode from season two, where a priest is shot, Carol thinks one of her patients is Santa Clause, and, I dunno, some other things happen.

Plus, we get a little catty about Grey's Anatomy, Chicago Hope, and any other hospital drama that is not ER. If that's not enough to get you listen, we also drop a few HOT SCOOPS about our 2018 plans for the podcast. So, Merry Christmas, Ryan and I hope you get the carrier pigeon before you hear this episode.

Episode #102: Christmas in Connecticut (1945) Release Date: December 20, 2017

Yes, it's Christmas in Connecticut; the original with Barbara Stanwyck, not that weird made-for-television misstep Arnold Schwarzenegger subjected us to in 1992.

Plus, which stars from the golden age of Hollywood are still alive in 2017, who are the original gal pals, and how many HOT SCOOPS can Patrick squeeze into one hour. Find out, on a thrilling episode of A VERY SPECIAL PODCAST!

Episode #100: He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special (1985) Release Date: December 11, 2017

A few years back, Patrick and Kat attempted to record an episode of the podcast discussing the He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special but for some reason the files were corrupted and unplayable (looking at you Skeletor). But, low and behold they have reunited several years later, for EPISODE 100, and gave it a second go.

Needless to say, they are still confused. In a nutshell, it's Prince Adam and Princess Adora's birthday, Orko flies off in a rocket ship called the Sky Spy that is basically supposed to be a drone, he crashes it onto Earth, kidnaps some children, etc. Anyway, it's a 45 minute long toy commercial.

Plus, what exactly is Skeletor? What was Anne Baxter doing on television in 1985? And, Kat loses her cool (again).

Plus, The Manhattan Transfer drop by Tool Time, the number one cable show... in the world?

Also, just in time for Christmas, Patrick has a Jill Taylor epiphany and is Randy Taylor a criminal mastermind in Costa Rica?

Episode #98: A Christmas Melody (2015) Release Date: December 3, 2017

The time has come to spread Christmas joy all throughout the internet and Kat and Patrick couldn't think of a better way to kick off the 2017 Christmas season. In the event you are unaware of what A Christmas Melody is, it's the modern day Hallmark Channel classic starring Lacey Chabert, Brennan Elliott, and the diva herself MARIAH CAREY, who is also making her directorial debut. Yes, Mariah Carey... in a director's chair! Giving directions! Can you believe it? If you have trouble believing that, at least open your minds to the magic of the Christmas season, because that happens a lot in this hour and a half of made-for-television saccharine goodness.

Plus, Kat and Patrick nearly engage in fisticuffs over what kind of failed musical act Brennan Elliott's character was involved in during the late 90s/early 2000s. Tweet us your thoughts, please!

Episode #96: Out of Practice - "Thanks" Release Date: November 18, 2017

Patrick and Kat deliver y'all another Thanksgiving themed episode for the 2017 season and this time it's the short-lived and super obscure CBS sitcom, Out of Practice. This series from the 2005-2006 television season starred our pals Henry Winkler, Christopher Gorham, Stockard Channing, Paula Marshall, and a pre-Modern Family Ty Burrell. This was a show about a family of physicians (plus one marriage counselor) living in New York City... and I dunno, dealing with shit with hilarious results.

Plus, Patrick and Kat reminisce about the Alan Thicke/Gilbert Gottfried episode of Celebrity Wife Swap and all the wacky NBC Universal shows that had episodes that took place at the Montecito, the fake casino from their wildly popular 2000s series, Las Vegas.
