Made for TV Mayhem Show

We're back (finally), and it's all about those TV movies that made you go hmmmm... we're looking at the two classic message movies Go Ask Alice (1973) and Mazes and Monsters (1982). Sorry for the delay. Hope you enjoy!

We'll be back in July with two sun and sand adventures, Zuma Beach (1978) and The Hustler of Muscle Beach (1980). Send us some feedback via our contact us page!

We're back, and so soon (Amy, soon!). On this episode we give a lot of love to one of our favorite small screen leading ladies, Kathleen Beller and discuss No Place to Hide (1991) and Deadly Messages (1985). There's romance, twists and turns, gaslighting, betrayal, crimped hair and one damn nice pizza guy! Enjoy!

We're back with a very special episode dedicated to one of our favorite Queens of the TV Movie, Patty Duke! We're discussing the wonderful new book In the Presence of Greatness: My Sixty Year Journey as an Actress, which was written by Patty Duke and Bill Jankowski. Bill joins us to talk all things Patty and we had a blast! Enjoy!

I managed to get an episode up in a timely manner! And just in time for Valentine's Day. On this episode, Dan and I discuss small screen romance... with a supernatural twist! Titles on tap are the 1971 remake of Death Takes a Holiday and the 1995 Lifetime Original Movie Deadly Love! Spoiler: They are awesome. Enjoy and remember to only speak of love! Our next episode will be devoted to the lovely Kathleen Beller and we'll be looking at No Place to Hide (1981) and Deadly Messages (1985). Remember to send feedback!

I can't believe I got this online. My computer hates me... But we're here with episode 31 and it's all about winter-set scares as we discuss the classic Snowbeast (1977) and the not-a-classic-but-pretty-dang-fun Ski Lift to Death (aka Snowblind, 1979). So let's hit the slopes!

We'll be back so very soon with a new episode (recording either February 7th or 8th), and again, as we did last year, we'll only speak of love. But this time it's supernatural love, as we watch and discuss Death Takes a Holiday (1971) and Deadly Love (1995). Send feedback!

Thanks to a crazy schedule, a long term sickness, the holidays and other chicanery, our male strippers episode had to get in the back seat (ha!) for a while. But it's edited (sorta) and ready for your ears. So now what was originally supposed to be episode 29 is episode 30, ya dig? There's some popping in the background on this one, and issues overall with the general quality of the show. But I could spend forever tooling with this, so I finally bit the bullet and got it online. We're discussing For Ladies Only (1981) and Ladykillers (1988) and some of it won't make sense, some of it will. Be kind.

Well, it's that time of year again! And does anything say holidays like a kid with a shotgun... I thought so...

We welcome back Christmas television expert Joanna Wilson to discuss the 1971 (maybe) holiday thriller A Little Game, and then we play a little game ourselves. We had a great time recording (even though there was a crapload of technical issues), and we hope you enjoy listening! Thank you for making 2017 an incredible year for the gang at the Made for TV Mayhem Show and Happy Holidays!

Happy Tofurkey day! Because I wasn't able to get our next full episode online, I thought I'd put together some old podcast TV trivia segments I created for the Movies About Girls Show. I grouped the segments by topic and decided to make the first one all about small screen actresses! Hope you enjoy! Please keep in mind that I was not great at this, and I talk a little fast and the sound isn't perfect. Who am I kidding, it's uncomfortably awkward. But my heart was there, and BOY did I research the stuffing out of these! I also ended with a little tribute to David Cassidy, whom we lost this week. We love you DC!

Just in time to celebrate the scariest day of the year, The Made for TV Mayhem Show returns, and we've turned the insane asylum over to the patients! We asked listeners to program their own Halloween TV movie marathon and we got a wonderful response back! Listen as we go through the lists and discuss the titles. And Dan, Nate and Amanda even picked out three telefilms each too! What a world!

We're back with a back to school themed episode dedicated to the ABC Afterschool Special! We, as we are wont to do, made it a twofer, and chose two episodes starring one of our favorite actors, Lance Guest! The episodes we discuss are Please Don't Hit Me, Mom, and Two Loves for Jenny (aka Between Two Loves)! And if that wasn't enough to get you all excited about chalkboards and backpacks, I interviewed Lance Guest about working on this program, as well as some of his other small screen awesome. You can read that interview on my blog (www.madefortvmayhem.com)! Hooray, and a big thanks to Mr. Guest, who flashed a lot of that charm that made us all fall in love with him in the first place... oh, and he gave some great insight too! Enjoy the podcast and the interview!

By the way, the essay I was referencing at the beginning of this episode is titled Premature Adulthood: Alcoholic Moms and Teenage Adults in the ABC Afterschool Special by Amanda Keeler. Great stuff!
