146 Ethan Harper – You Gotta Have Heart

We’re back for a topical check-in before resuming our regularly-scheduled episodes as we recap the rest of Beverly Hills, 90210 season five! The world has entered into the confusing new reality of a global pandemic, and we’re catching up from our respective homes as we hypothesize about how the original series might have tackled a very special topic such as Coronavirus, and what it would mean for our favorite characters. Then, we run through the latest updates from the 90210 cast members as they’re adjusting to life in quarantine. We’re excited to bring you some levity in this strange time, and want to be clear that a bit of tabloid gossip and joking doesn’t detract from the seriousness of this situation. We’re incredibly grateful to our listeners who work at medical facilities, grocery stores, in food delivery or public transit, first responders, and all who are keeping society running at a risky time. We’ll continue to follow all of the recommended best practices for containing the spread of this virus, and urge our listeners to do the same! Discussed in this episode:  Friend-Of-The-Show Mickey Keating’s dispatch from the live premiere of Corey Feldman’s documentary exposé The Rape of Two Coreys Ian Ziering’s #motoquest The latest episode of the With Brian Austin Green podcast, and BAG & Megan Fox’s outing as covered by the Daily Mail Gabrielle Carteris’ statement as President of SAG-AFTRA Jennie Garth’s lovely words on Instagram Jason Priestley accepting the challenge set out by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for famous Canadians to encourage their fans to help #flattenthecurve Shannen Doherty’s serious words as an immunocompromised individual Tori Spelling’s troubles finding enough toilet paper for seven butts, and her defense of her daughter’s costume/character of “McQuisha”
