CW: Sexism, Sexual Overtones, Harassment, Suicide Ideation, Transphobia and Sexual Assault
This week Dawn and Rachel are joined by Dennis Frymire of Fate’s Wide Wheel: A Quantum Leap Podcast, our RIVAL, I mean companion podcast to discuss Season 2, Episode 4 “What Price, Gloria?”
We had some tricky audio issues and did our best. We apologize.
Shout out to Christy and her Robocop dick mug, hope you love it!
This has some very cringe-worthy moments, including those around women working in the office, extra-marital affairs, post-marriage expectations of secretaries- all in all, a very cis-heteronormative perspective weaves throughout this episode. Sam has not mastered the heel—we mean the shoe—and pretty much all men in this episode, including Sam induce some sighs, eyerolls, and anger.

Next week’s episode is Season 3 Episode 21 Nuclear Family

Rachel and Dawn are joined by Jack Cuellar to discuss Play Ball, a baseball episode that really swings for the fences. It tries to do everything at once, and it almost succeeds.
We talk a lot about our Patreon stretch goal to make Rachel watch Roadhouse, because we recorded this *before* we HIT THAT GOAL LAST WEEK! Stay tuned for our Roadhouse bonus episode.
Jack helps open our eyes to the fact that Rachel's boyfriend is basically Al and Dawn's husband is Sam. WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!
The one thing we can all agree emphatically on in this episode is that the pig is completely adorable.
CWs this episode for homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism. It's a real doozy.
Next week's episode is Season 2 Episode 4 What Price Gloria?

CW: Sexual Overtones, Domestic Violence and Prostitution
This week Dawn and Rachel are joined by Ileana Garcia to discuss Southern Comforts from Season 3, Episode 16. Oh and Pat Richardson from Good Morning Peoria, Episode 34, listened to and liked us. WE are OVER THE MOON!
Discovery! We all have poor bladder habits, all the while, dissecting the storied history of the prostitution district in New Orleans and lots of commentary on finishing schools Rachel also uncovers the smizing of prostitution, think virgin, ya’ll. Sam ends up being a champion of rights for this brothel and one main person in particular, Gina, but the whole white savior complex is alive and well.
Even though Rachel doesn’t do research she does have a sound knowledge base on Shriner’s. Apologies for Dawn’s audio, her microphone wasn’t being its best self.
We want to mention we’re now part of a podcast network! Check out not only this show, but other great shows brought to you by Ear Trumpet Audio.
Next week’s episode is Season 4 Episode 2 Play Ball

CW: Alcoholism and Abuse
We are joined by Vanessa Riley, of the Square Roots podcast, who is definitely a bigger Quantum Leap fan than Ollie Brady.
This is our second episode featuring Beverly Hills 90210 alumni, but we don't have a music video this time around. It turns out we were pretty much all Team Brandon. Sorry Dylan.
We talk about Grease and the peace corps, and exactly how much clothing is removed in a typical "pantsing." Also, in the old age homes of the future, what nostalgia will take over every "theme" party our grandkids organize for us? Skrillix or Nirvana?
In what may possibly be the worst "celebrity cameo" we've seen to date, Sam teaches a young Michael Jackson how to moonwalk.
Next week's episode is Season 3, Spisode 16 Southern Comforts
CW: Vomiting, Animal Cruelty
This week Dawn and Rachel are a duo and up for a discussion is one of the more controversial episodes of Quantum Leap history: The Wrong Stuff.
Astro-chimp or Chimponaut, please weigh in? All funny jokes aside, this episode really tugged on our heart strings and does a good job on the history of the NASA astro-chimp program. Also, Al is a great look out.

No guest this week, and Dawn and Rachel discuss Honeymoon Express.
It's the premiere of season 2, and to celebrate we're treated what must surely be the snarkiest senate subcommittee budget hearing that has ever come to order.
Much discussion about how changing history should be giving Al even worse swiss cheese brain than Sam has. How does he remember both timelines?!?
Sam is unsurprisingly very prudish and moralistic about sex, and we get what may be our creepiest villain ever. There's a reason Dawn nicknames him "Psycho Bond"
As a companion to this episode of Quantum Leap, Dawn and Rachel both highly recommend Paul Reubens' character's death scene in Buffy The Vampire Slayer (the movie)
(We promise, this will make sense after you listen)
Next week's episode is Season 4, Episode 7 "The Wrong Stuff"

CW: Suicide and Drug Use
This week Dawn and Rachel are joined by Susan J. E. Ritta, WHO IS AMAZING. We have made to the 1960’s! This episode is Goodbye Norma Jean, Season 5 Episode 18.
Season 5 really went big on famous icons. Marilyn Monroe, played by a striking look-a-like, holds our gaze during this performance. Fabulous guest Susan coins the Bakula-Boner phrase, which royalties due to her if that takes off.
So Sam after 5 seasons still cannot read people. More importantly all three of us have lengthy dialogue on the sexplotation Marilyn Monroe experienced alive and in legacy. There is a lot of SWF, or Single White Female nods for those too young for that film reference. Also can we cut the voice over, Sam! We love you but yeesh!
Next week join us for Season 2, Episode 1, Honeymoon Express

This week, Dawn and Rachel are joined this week by Russ Feder from the Mad About Mad About You podcast for a completely spoiler free discussion of The Last Jedi and a spoiler FULL discussion of Good Morning Peoria.
Topics include how terrible Sam is at charades, whether The Twist was a song before it was a dance, and how on earth this terribly run radio station is still on the air.
Did Dean Stockwell steal extra cigars from the props department and smuggle them off set in his oversized suits? The world may never know.
If you love Patricia Richardson aka Home Improvement Mom aka Jill Taylor, you'll love this episode. We sure did.
Next week join us for Season 5, Episode 18 Goodbye Norma Jean

CW: Graphic Sexual Acts, Sexism/Assault, Mental Health
This week Dawn and Rachel are joined by returning guest Eric Hiltner. Rachel talks with so much passion about the Crow film/tv franchise and Dawn covers notable and interesting? cover models for Playgirl. With Eric’s help, we finally put the great turkey freezing/fresh debate to rest.
Also, this episode stars Bob Saget known for his stand-up, but to be honest, he’s more known as the lovable Danny Tanner on Full House… We tried to coin the phrase ’Saget-Head’ if it takes off, it was all us. Does anyone know the punchline to the opening monologue joke or the Breakfast Club joke? Email us, please. There is a fair amount of sexism, but Al has great clothes, we also try to note as much historical stuff as we can.
Apologies, we had some small audio issues on Dawn’s end.
Next week join us for Season 2 , Episode 6, Good Morning, Peoria!
