Let's Face The Facts - A Facts Of Life Podcast by David Almeida

Orlando Actors David Almeida & Matthew Arter are watching TV shows, specials, and movies that feature members of “The Facts Of Life” cast… so you don’t have to!

This month Matthew and David talk about a little series you may or may not have heard of: The Brady Bunch. In S2 E15, “Will The Real Jan Brady Please Stand Up?” (1/15/71), Jan is in her familiar territory of Middle Child Syndrome, and decides to change her appearance to stand out among her sisters. (Eve Plumb would later play Blair’s convent-bound step-sister on TFOL S4 E17.) Get ready for a groovy journey back to the sunshine days of THE ultimate family sitcom!

This month David & special guest / friend of the pod / roommate Justin Schneyer talk about a very special TV movie, “Like Normal People“ (4/13/79). This heartfelt film follows a mentally-challenged couple who have to fight for their opportunities to live together, work, and marry. Starring Shaun Cassidy and Linda Purl, we also get a cameo appearance by TFOL’s own Julie Anne Haddock. WARNING: this movie uses the R word a LOT, and it is used on the podcast as well.

This month Matthew is taking a much needed vacation. (Possibly flying on a renovated American Airlines plane? Because he mentioned something about AA and rehab…?) So David is welcoming back MVP guest, inspirational podcaster, and close personal friend Ken Reid (a/k/a the TV Guidance Counselor)! The subject this week is the 1973 TV movie “The Girl Most Likely To…” starring Stockard Channing, written by Joan Rivers, and featuring Chuck McCann (who played Santa Claus in TFOL S9 E10, “It’s A Wonderful Christmas.”) Get ready for some black comedy: the ultimate revenge tale, against a backdrop of 70s-tastic fashion, décor, and male chauvinism.
