April 12, 2021MP S03.E21: Breakfast At Tiffany's, Dinner At Eight
Amanda having entrusted her treatment to Michael, the two of them head to New York so that they can doorstop the famous Dr. Steele and convince him to admit Amanda into his cancer study. But it's going to be hard once Kimberly calls Dr. Steele first and defames Michael, claiming his ultimate goal is to undermine Steele's study and get himself set up with one on the same treatment plan instead. And that's just the disaster Amanda knows about: she has no idea that, back in L.A., Alison and Billy are eating shit from a disgruntled client, who demands a brand-new campaign with one day's turnaround. After that pitch also fails to impress him, Alison tries one last gambit: a sob story, and not her own. Things are devolving quickly in Rawlings's police brutality case. Jo knows all too well what happens to civilians who try to challenge police power, and only gets more terrified about what could happen to her after Rawlings's victim dies. Matt volunteers to turn her photos over to the Internal Affairs detective and keep Jo out of it. How? That's what we would also like to know! After having spotted Jake and Jane getting cozy, Sydney tries to suss out what might actually be happening between them by volunteering as Jane's personal assistant. Instead, Jane asks Jake to give Sydney back her job at Shooters. Sydney is happy to accept when she thinks it means proximity to one another will lead to a reunion for her and Jake, but once he tells her it won't...everyone should probably start getting scared of her again. Put the coffee on: it's time for our podcast on "Breakfast At Tiffany's, Dinner At Eight"!

April 05, 2021 MP S03.E20: St. Valentine’s Day Massacre
Once Sydney gets to see daylight again, she assesses her options and decides to stay at the compound. Martin takes this as proof that he's broken her, apparently, because he shows her where they keep the Abbot Way arsenal and starts right in on small arms training. What they don't know is that, back in L.A., Jane's been doing some research on Martin, figured out he's bad news, and convinced Jake to come with her to the compound to try to break Sydney out. Amanda has started chemotherapy, but is (of course) a terrible patient who refuses to acknowledge the physical toll it's going to take on her and adjust her working life in any way. As she leans more and more on Michael, Kimberly gets more and more suspicious. When Rawlings stalks Matt to Shooters and corners him into an introduction to Jo, he volunteers to be her chaperone while she shoots some of the seedier L.A. street life for a newspaper. But when he gets a call about a drug dealer, Jo gets a little too curious, and finds out what Kimberly already knew: Rawlings just loves abusing his power as a police officer -- and when he's got a repeat offender in front of him, that's going to manifest in a pretty brutal beating, which Jo, secretly, photographs extensively. We didn't get you a dozen roses, but we hope you'll feel just as loved by this gift of a podcast on "St. Valentine's Day Massacre"!

March 29, 2021 Special: Let's Watch Grosse Pointe & Models Inc!
We're off this week but we're setting you up with back-to-back selections from our Patreon supporter show Again With Again With This.

019: Let's Watch Darren Star Burn Down Beverly Hills, 90210 In The Series Premiere Of Grosse Pointe!
The corpse of Beverly Hills, 90210 was barely cold when its creator, Darren Star, jumped networks and joined forces with Robin Schiff for The WB's Grosse Pointe, a savage behind-the-scenes satire of a fictional teen drama that feels eerily familiar....

023: Let's Talk About The Series Premiere Of Models Inc.!
We couldn't transition from the second season of Melrose Place to the third without a brief stop at its sexy spinoff, Models Inc. to find out what became of Sarah, Hillary, and Teri -- at least in the very first episode. (Short version: things aren't great for any of them!)

March 22, 2021 MP S03.E19: Boxing Sydney
Though Amanda has apparently spent the entire time since we saw her last trying to ignore what Michael told her about the lump in her neck, he is refusing to let up, and another doctor at the hospital confirms his findings: Amanda does have Hodgkin's Disease. She resists Michael's forcible attempts to continue necessary testing, bitches out everyone who steps in her path at the office, but finally confides in Billy, swearing him to secrecy. Is this a confidence he can keep -- even from Alison, as Amanda expressly specifies? HMMM. Rikki gets Sydney out to the desert to a "retreat" with the rest of the Abbot followers, which apparently does not at all live up to the picture Rikki had painted of a resort-like experience. Sydney is sketched out when her assignment to perform the "tea service" exposes her to Martin, in bed with two ladies, and even more put off the next day when Martin orders his acolytes to write to their families asking for money. Sydney tells him she wants to leave, and he assures her she may...but is she, really? Matt tells John, the detective on his case, about Kimberly's involvement in the attack and her ongoing verbal threats against him -- though he also tells John that he doesn't want to escalate the situation, and, when John hits on him, that he's not looking for a relationship. John doesn't really hear any of that, apparently thinking the way to Matt's heart is through police harassment of his enemies. We take the gloves off in our podcast on "Boxing Sydney"!

March 15, 2021 MP S03.E18: Another Perfect Day In Hell
Someone puts sugar in Jo's gas tank. Someone slashes all the samples on the rack at Jane's studio. Someone breaks in at Jo's and steals all her cameras and gear. Jane points the finger at Sydney (who did, after all, have access to the motorcycle and the garments), who denies it...but the crime spree isn't over, and all the crimes do seem to target people Sydney considers her enemies. If not her, who?! Billy is concerned that Amanda seems run-down at work and even testier than usual, though she shakes off his concerns about her health. He's about to have his own worries, anyway: Alison's sister Meredith is in town, with a big announcement about her own sexual history, and an even bigger crush on Billy. The bigwigs at Wilshire Memorial can no longer ignore the possible mental health issues going untreated amongst members of their staff, so they order mandatory psych evaluations, to be co-ordinated by Matt. Kimberly tries to wriggle out of it by deploying her charm on Matt (which is probably something her evaluator would want to know about, actually), but it doesn't work, which means her problems at work are only going to escalate, and Matt should probably start watching his back. Grab an icy cold drink and join us for our podcast on "Another Perfect Day In Hell"!

March 08, 2021 MP S03.E17: They Shoot Mothers, Don’t They?
You thought a standard Season 3 episode of Melrose Place crammed in a lot of drama? STRAP IN, because here comes a for-no-reason midseason double episode, and it is a doozy. Amanda and Peter are still pretending to be a couple while secretly plotting against each other. Peter and Caitlin's plan to pry Amanda out of her contract is to arrange for everyone at the agency to take a drug test for insurance purposes, and for Amanda to fail it because the "antibiotics" Peter's prescribed her are actually THC...and since the only drug study at the hospital involving THC is the one Peter's just put Michael in charge of, Peter's hands will be clean. But Amanda finds one pill, gets Matt to have it analyzed, and confronts Peter with the evidence in order to keep her job. So then Peter has to escalate by arranging to "catch" Amanda and Michael in his office after hours, injecting her with a drug that will imitate the appendicitis cramps, and wheeling her into surgery she will not survive. Will Michael have the stomach to go along with it?! Jake insists on accompanying Jo to the Carters' to get Austin back, even though she is completely unable to be cool and reveals herself to Mrs. Carter while she's supposed to be waiting for the cops to come charge the Carters with kidnapping. Mr. Carter then shoots Jo in the back, which kind of complicates the emergency custody hearing set to take place when Jo still has an arm in a sling and Mr. Carter is still out on bail. Billy gets increasingly bitter and suspicious about what's actually going on between Alison and Terry, until he finally confirms it by spying on her at an AA meeting and seeing them mildly PDA-ing. Little does he know how quickly Terry wants things to progress, even after he almost falls back off the wagon after a disastrous performance in his first game back after rehab. After Amanda informs Sydney she's raising her rent by kind of a lot, Jane tells her to find a roommate, and Rikki -- a fellow waitress -- seems perfect! She's full of opinions about all Sydney's neighbors, and also about ways Sydney could improve her life if she just started attending the same self-help meetings Rikki does with her "guru," Martin! And hey, if Sydney can't afford his courses, maybe she could just work it off in his offices! Take aim at our latest podcast on "They Shoot Mothers, Don't They?"!
