August 25, 2023 The Weeds Reboot
Today we are talking about one of my favorites and how it is getting a reboot (uh oh!) Weeds! 'Weeds' Reboot Moves Back to Showtime: In 2019, news broke that a Weeds sequel starring Mary Louise Parker in her familiar role as pot dealing housewife Nancy Botwin was in the works. After landing at Lionsgate and Starz, the deal has moved to Showtime, the series' original home. "The Weeds revival would be written, and executive produced by Christian Torpe, creator of the popular Danish series Rita, and would feature Nancy (Parker) in Copenhagen, I hear." WHAT!!!!!?? Enjoy ;)

August 19, 2023 Melanie Martin: For The Record
In this episode I speak with Melanie Martin to discuss important and tough topics like grief, motherhood and Aaron's legacy. We discuss mental health, addiction and growth. We get into staying with Aaron through the hard times, Louis and others, stalkers and parasocial relationships, cheating rumors and we also leave the door open for more questions! This episode is a relief in many ways but also a sad one. We talk about Aarons final resting place, his legacy and what's next for Melanie and Prince. Enjoy ;)

August 08, 2023 I Want Candy
In today's episode I take the deepest of dives into the cultural phenomenon of the song "I Want Candy". Did you know that “I Want Candy,” the strangely timeless song released by The Strangeloves in 1965 has a deep-rooted connection to tribal drumming? The Strangeloves were inspired to write "I Want Candy" in 1965 after they took a trip to the 1964 World’s Fair and producers saw a performance by Candy Johnson, a dancer known as “Miss Perpetual Motion" and the rest is history. Enjoy ;)

July 21, 2023 Caitlin's Way
Today we are revisiting one of the most underrated Nickelodeon shows out there. A spunky 14-year-old orphan from Philadelphia has difficulty adjusting to life on a Montana ranch owned by her long-lost cousins, the Lowes.

July 14, 2023 Nickelodeon's dirty little secret: John K
PATREON PREVIEW!!!
Nickelodeon has a predator problem. This episode is long overdue as I have covered so much of nostalgic Nick but as we all know Nickelodeon as a network has had a very dark secret for many years. Sadly, Nick isn't the only children's network whose closets are overflowing with skeletons, but it is the topic of today's episode. John K revolutionized animation with his work on Ren & Stimpy only to destroy his career by, according to their accounts, grooming and assaulting two young animators. Although ample evidence was provided by both girls absolutely nothing was done to secure justice for the victims. Trigger warning for talk or CSAM and Predatory behavior.

July 07, 2023 Sublime: Are You a Bad Fish Too?
In today's episode, we go way back to the nostalgia "Ska/Reggae" scene of So Cal! The sunny days of Sublime, No Doubt, Lit and that sweet sweet cultural appropriation! I indulge in the nostalgia of that insanely large Sublime Sun tattoo that someone you knew undoubtably had. I ask the important questions like, if Brad hadn't died would we have to suffer the timeline of Jack Johnson dominating the airwaves for the last twenty years? Was Lou dog suffering a similar fate as Aaron Carter's dogs? How many times can I bring up Aaron carter in this episode? Other topics include Sublime being kicked off of Warped Tour, the band destroying Wilie Nelson's studio, and the infamous house parties that made them legends of So Cal. I have a small update on where Brads son is now, and I review the line up for Reggae Rise Up! Trigger warning as i also dive into the acceptance of songs like "Date Rape", "Santeria" and other songs/ lyrics that paint rape and violence towards women as a casual joke. All of that being said, this week would have been Brad's 55th birthday, every day we love you just a little bit more.

June 04, 2023 New York Minute
In case you forgot: Dr. Drew was in a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie! Today I take a look at Dr. Drew's Love Line era recordings the night before and after the premier of New York Minute. This new insight into the Olsen twins' lives is valuable beyond measure. I also take a look at why this film although being a cult classic is largely problematic in nature. Enjoy ;)
