Back on the Block

We talk about “Nine Perfect Strangers,” “Clickbait,” and “Schmigadoon.” Also, happy birthday Karen!

Amanda broods like she has never brooded before, and it ain’t great. We continue to ship Billy and Jennifer, and Mario doesn’t get the credit he deserves – literally.

We like things! We recommend “The Other Two,” “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie,” “Brand New Cherry Flavor,” and revisit “Ted Lasso.” Also, RIP Willie Garson.

Does this show have the longest cold open ever? Possibly. Does it ever heat up? Not really. Does Amanda have a sucky life? You bet. Did Lexi even have to memorize lines for this episode? Not likely. RIP Willie Garson.

We talk about “Pass Over,” the first new Broadway show in eighteen months, and how the re-entry to theatre will fare – with a particularly interesting theory. We also discuss “Only Murders in the Building,” “LulaRich,” “Work in Progress,” and mourn Norm Macdonald.

You know life is weird when Billy has become a favorite character. Amid a sea of bad storylines, we learn more about “Christine” and Michael finds a windfall. But the star of the episode is…haircuts. Plus, a “Melrose” reunion on the “Fantasy Island” reboot!

We’ve got a heavy episode here. We talk about “Cinderella,” “The Green Knight,” Reminiscence,” and the documentary “Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror” – it’s that time of year. And RIP, Kenneth Michael Williams. Also, Happy Jewish New Year!

The men of “Melrose” are terrible! And all of the women are pretty much sidelined! Doug keeps Karen guessing about the one storyline he really liked here – and no, it probably doesn’t have to do with Christine.

We said yes to this double episode, and there’s a lot wrong with it. Christine comes to town and mucks everything up, Sam can’t stop flirting, Michael makes another bad decision, and Lexi is horrible! Oh, and it’s Amanda and Kyle’s wedding day! We also discuss cheap wedding food and why saying no is a good thing.

Puppet life, vehicles in space, woke college brats – this podcast has it all. We review “Annette,” F9,” and “The Chair.”
