Moonlighting: "Atomic Shakespeare"

Kevin Cafferty of the Gleaming the Tube podcast cometh to discuss the most famous (and expensive) episode of the classic 80s fourth-wall-breaking romcom starring Cybill Shepard and Bruce Willis -- their ambitious, cartoonish Elizabethan parody of The Taming of the Shrew done fully in iambic pentameter! We also talk about this show's highly influential and innovative place in television history, and why it's often forgotten in TV conversations despite having been a phenomenon.
