Who’s gettin’ leveraged this time? The results MAY surprise you.

The day is finally here! After years of slowing trying to piece together ideas from billboards and half-viewed commercials, Episodic Memories finally figures out what the hell is TNT’s “Leverage.” Mark and Andrew don’t get mad, they get even as they review this hour-long “Mission: Impossible” homage about leveraging, people about to leverage and other fulcrum-related activities. Put on your finest pork pie hat and settle in for the zaniest heist since that time the Apple Dumpling Gang robbed Caesar’s Palace. Listen in by clicking here and let us know what you think, if you wouldn’t mind.

Keep it real. And appearance.

We take a look across the pond this week on Episodic Memories, with posh accents and driving all up on the wrong side of the road. Andrew and Mark do our best to present ourselves as the upper class chaps we are as we look at BBC flagship “Keeping Up Appearances.” Join us as we investigate mystery laugh tracks, meandering sight gags and weird reaction shots. You know, British shows. Wot wot. Honey nut cheerios and what not.

Hugs are weird in tennis.

With the passing of writer Sam Simon, Andrew and Mark opt to dig into Mr. Simon’s back catalogue, past all of that quote unquote “really great television” like “The Simpsons,” “Taxi,” and “The Tracy Ullman Show.” Instead, we focus our attention on the one-season 1993 ABC sitcom “Phenom,” co-created by Sam Simon. Andrew and Mark serve up some observations on this tennis-based family comedy, like “Who are these people?” and “Why were there laughs after that line?” We also get to see guest appearances from television’s Ed McMahon, George Burns and the Mom from That 70’s Show. What fun!  Grab your racket, plant your feet then listen in by clicking here and let us know what you think, if you wouldn’t mind.

Oh my!

Captain’s Log. Stardate 5.55.136. Our view screen just flipped on and started showing “Star Trek: The Animated Series,” so we thought, “Hey, what the hell? Let’s watch this, yeah?” So, that’s what we did. Andrew and Mark explore the cheaply animated worlds all around this galaxy and learn a lot of important space lessons, like how to make a 20-foot clone of yourself and how to choke out a plant man. Settle into your captain’s chair, replicate yourself some popcorn, then listen in by clicking here and let us know what you think, if you wouldn’t mind.

Twice as Vice.

Officers Krukowski and Gonzales are hitting the streets to bust all the scumbags that are bringing down this fair city. But, we’ll need a little training, so we’re checking out an episode of NBC’s 80s hit “Miami Vice.” We’ll learn all the tricks: rolling up your jacket sleeves, driving fast cars and checkin’ out bikini girls’ hinders. You know, police stuff. Also, hear about Andrew’s entrance into immortality via his newly minted Yogurtland Platinum card. It truly is a great day to be a fan of yogurt. Fire up your Ferrari, throw on some Wham!, then listen in by clicking here and let us know what you think, if you wouldn’t mind.

Oh, get off your high castle.

It’s time to load up the “What If” machine and take a look at some alternate timelines this week on Episodic Memories. Andrew and Mark go back to the 1950s to purchase a copy of Grey’s Almanac, and also check out Amazon Studios’ “The Man in the High Castle” while they are there. One of the many digital pilots looking for a series pickup, “Castle” looks at the possibility of a Axis win during WWII and what that means for the US. What that means for you is an episode where Mark is nearly physically restrained from doing his Japanese impersonation. Make sure you’re not currently in the darkest timeline already, then listen in by clicking here and let us know what you think, if you wouldn’t mind.

THE FUTURE!

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Well, it’s kind of a plane! It’s more of a helicopter! But, it’s in the sky! So, you gotta give us that! Andrew and Mark look skyward for this week’s episode, covering the sky-bound action series, “Airwolf.” Listen in as the guys discuss the finer points of helicoptering, doing great impressions and Andrew informs the listeners about his ascent into the upper crust via Yogurtland frequent buyer cards. Check your altimeter and hit the retro boosters, then listen in by clicking here and let us know what you think, if you wouldn’t mind.

Impossible? Well, yeah, sure, with THAT attitude.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to do us a solid and get in on this episode of Episodic Memories. Andrew and Mark take a look at their dossier and inspect an episode of Mission: Impossible. Also, we play script doctors and perform a new segment entitled “The Punch-Up.” And we lose our minds over poorly run cables. Safety on set is job one, everyone. JOB ONE! Listen in by clicking here and let us know what you think, if you wouldn’t mind.

Happy New Year! Also, Happy End of the Old Year! Mark and Andrew decide to discuss the end of a storied career by looking at the 1986 ABC sitcom “Life with Lucy,” one of the last shows from Lucille Ball. (Spoiler: It ain’t great.) The boys also check their tickets and board the unsinkable Unemployment Express. Climb aboard this rocket sled into 2015 and listen in, how about?
