(Recorded May 11, 2025) Up this week is episode nine (ep ten on the tile, but you get it) of the 90’s tv show, Dark Shadows, that we’ve dubbed, “Single White Female.” The Collins family buries their hottest son, Jeremiah (but will he stay buried?) and Aunt Abigail calls in Reverend Trask not perform the service, but to arrest Victoria for witchcraft! Angelique, the real witch works up another spell, but this time it goes a bit awry. Barnabas finally takes a little bit of responsibility for the mess he’s caused but still lets Josette feel like it might have been all her fault. We learn that Peter is also a lawyer. A lawyer, honey! This man is now the best catch in Collinsport and we’re the only ones that can see it! In 1991, Phyllis is on deaths door (what kind of doctor is Julia again?) and the gang decides to hold another séance. The last one went so well they decided to do it again! And this time, instead of someone leaving, someone comes back. Plus, Meaghan figures out her villain origin story (hint: it involves the DMV), George tells us how he got to live out his Road House fantasy, and we debate some time travel theories. (Original network airdate March 1, 1991)

(Recorded May 4, 2025) This week we are discussing episode eight (ep nine for the purposes of this podcast) of the cult classic revival of Dark Shadows, that we’re calling, “There Can Be Only One," and boy is it a doozy. Josette finally arrives to Collinwood and we finally find out the origin story for that stupid music box. While Barnabas rolls around in the grass with Josette, Angelique doesn’t even wait a day to cast a spell that will ruin his life in many ways. Victoria stays not beating the allegations that she’s insane and a witch (and that’s not even because she taught the children Over the Rainbow). Jeremiah keeps being hot (the brocade vest somehow makes him hotter?) and unfortunately, that hotness leads to his downfall. Plus, Meaghan discovers a late 80’s gem, George does the Bartman, and we discuss what would've been a more satisfying approach to ruining a life had we been Angelique.

(Recorded on April 30, 2025) This week we are discussing episode seven, “You, Me, and du Prés” from the cult classic, 90's tv show, Dark Shadows. We’re introduced to the Collins family in 1790 as Victoria Winters is hurled back in time via a séance gone wrong. Victoria stumbles her way into the position of tutor at Collinwood (with the help of a very handsome Peter Bradford). Barnabas keeps telling everyone how much Victoria looks like Josette (we get it dude!). We finally meet Barnabas’s hot brother, Jeremiah and the fact that is just now showing up is a real disservice to the show. Barnabas’s nosey Aunt Abigail can’t help but think there is something off about Victoria and enlists the help of Reverend Trask. And Angelique does her best to seduce Barnabas but when things go wrong she finds her own minion in Ben Loomis. Plus, George has a lot of thoughts on theaters that are also restaurants; Meaghan tries her hand at a French accent; and we both think Angelique is going after the wrong brother.

(Recorded on April 20, 2025) This week we have a very special episode we're calling, “Opening the Coffin,” and we are chatting about the first half of the season of Dark Shadows with Dustin Holden from The Rewatch Recap! We do a special speed round of questions with Dustin: favorite character, favorite episode, which Collins family member he would dress as if he was invited to the costume party, etc. Dustin fills in some gaps for us with his knowledge of the original series. We talk what about works and what doesn’t work in the series (very little!). And Dustin hints at what we can look forward to in the last half of the season! Make sure to check out The Rewatch Recap (especially the Ghostwriter retrospective!).

(Recorded on March 30, 2025) We’re back this week with episode four of the 90’s tv series Dark Shadows and we're calling this one, “Twisted Firestarter.” We pick up right where we left off in episode three—Michael’s made a life changing decision; Julia’s got her eyes on Josette’s music box; Sarah’s back and trying to get a message to Victoria; Barnabas doesn’t know how to accept a gift; Roger’s secret art studio is discovered; David plays with matches; Maggie tries to warn Victoria; and Willie fears that Angelique might harm Barnabas. Plus, George wonders if Dark Shadows might be building too big of a world; Meaghan gives Maggie some dating advice; and we reminisce about the first time we recorded this episode—it's gone, but forever in our hearts.

Up this week is episode two of the gothic soap opera, Dark Shadows, and we're calling this one: “Did Somebody Say Stake?” In this episode, Daphne can’t escape the vampiric powers of Barnabas; Joe falls asleep on the job; Roger gets some; Professor Michael keeps something very special in his medicine bag; the Collinsport police department keeps giant crucifixes in their arsenal; and Julia has her eyes on a Nobel Prize in medicine.

Also, George finally turns on his microphone; Meaghan won’t shut up about Joe; and we question exactly how one gets turned into a vampire on this show.

(Recorded on February 23, 2025) Episode One is here! And since these episodes have no titles, we’re creating our own! We’re calling this one, “The Nanny Diaries,” because Victoria Winters, the recently hired governess at the Collinwood estate in Collinsport, Maine is providing some much need narrative context. Victoria isn’t the only new person in town, cousin Barnabas from England has also arrived, coincidentally at the same time a bunch of bad stuff starts happening! Shockingly, the police aren’t very good at putting these two things together.

Also, Meaghan and George discuss the relatively new OJ Simpson documentary on Netflix; George is blown away by a young Joseph Gordon Levitt performance; and Meaghan is tired of men’s daddy issues. (Original network air date January 13, 1991)
