Back on the Block episodes

  • A Rat’s Patooty

    Is Kimberly Shaw possibly back from the dead…again? This episode gives us some Dynasty-level shenanigans, tan hands, and minions. We also start off with some real-world thoughts. In short: people be crazy.

    53 min
  • Cheese Snacks!

    It took some explaining, but Karen really helps Doug come around (a leeeeeeetle bit) on this episode. But this episode does have Amanda ask Billy (!) for relationship advice and features a Mentos commercial-style ending.

    50 min
  • An Infectious Disease on a Yacht?

    The Billy-Sam storyline is not what you think – it’s worse! Meanwhile, Taylor takes the fall but gets the upper hand. And speaking of hands, Michael embarks on a new endeavor.

  • Hollywood Blvd: Something Delicious

    Karen takes a liking to "Hannibal," and Doug reviews "Things Heard & Seen" and "The Mitchells vs. the Machines." Plus: when will you feel comfortable going back to the theater, and what will you see?

    39 min
  • Sex Epilepsy

    Craig gets a surprise visitor, Michael can't shake Taylor, Megan becomes a great sleuth, and Billy goes crabbing.

  • Hollywood Blvd: “Nobody” Wins

    Actually, there were some good winners at the Oscars! We focus a bit on the blowback and then review the film “Nobody” and the TV shows “Earth to Ned” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

    37 min
  • I Thought This Was a Security Building

    We get dueling monologues with this lazy episode. We also get some consolidated storylines, a black eye for Andrew Shue, some rape-y vibes for Taylor, and an introduction to Lexi Sterling. Plus, postmortem glossies for Kimberly!

    45 min
  • Radiating Positivity

    We liked everything this week! We re-visit “Nomadland,” talk about the criminally overlooked “Over the Moon,” and discuss “Ted Lasso” and "Frank of Ireland.”
