Emily and Andrew find themselves torn between an actual effective--albeit ripped straight from NORTHERN EXPOSURE--plotline with guest star Jon Seneca and the latest "Cheryl's Black and she says it's okay for Charlie to be afraid of Black people" plotline. Listen as the hosts remain in bargaining limbo, hoping against hope something bad won't happen, but it's EXTREMES so of course it will.

Emily and Andrew officially pass the halfway point through GOING TO EXTREMES. Will they rename the pod to "WE HATE THIS SHOW" in honor of EXTREMES? Probably not. Tune in and listen as they discuss the show's tropes: learning from your racism halfway through the episode instead of the end, why they've got the white lady intent on making the Black lady hate the other Black people, and bad music.

It's another week in Paradise, or whatever hellish approximation of it GOING TO EXTREMES thinks they're doing. But at least there's less racism? So much more misogyny than usual, though. Listen as Emily and Andrew discuss child brides, getting in character, inappropriate touching, appropriate touching, and just how many more episodes until the halfway point.

Emily and Andrew are back for another week of GOING TO EXTREMES. This time they wonder... why they're leaning into the racism, where the responsible people have gone, and why... just why. There may be some good tangents, but no promises.

Another week(ish), another EXTREME outing for Emily and Andrew. Tune in as they discuss a really good idea for a show where Joanna Going and Delroy Lindo fall in love, miss getting to watch DRACULA: THE SERIES, and wonder why EXTREMES decided Andy Lauer plays the best racist.

Emily and Andrew return to their penance for god knows what, a.k.a. the ABC "Northern Exposure in the Bahamas*" failed effort... GOING TO EXTREMES. This episode's about nothing, being a white savior, and very unhealthy teacher-student relationships. But it's short and sweet, at least (our episode, not theirs; theirs is an eldritch horror).

In an unexpected twist, Emily and Andrew diverge on the episode--Andrew thinks it's the best GOING TO EXTREMES so far, Emily's not so sure. But then Andrew's basing it on the romance between Colin and Kim being a real thing and not some weird, bad nineties thing. Also Joanna Going is bad. And awkwardly hostile to Erika Alexander, who's good. But at least there's no teacher-student sexual predation?

Remember how much fun it was to make Motherboy jokes about Desi Arnez Jr. on AUTOMAN? Well, GOING TO EXTREMES decided to do it straight-faced. But don't worry, there's Elektra opportunities too. Unexpected ones even. Emily and Andrew's biggest selection mistake continues to be... their biggest selection mistake. Enjoy!

The title says it all.

As if.

Emily and Andrew once again descend into GOING TO EXTREMES and find the show's "hold my beer" approach to being problematic... well, problematic. Plus, Wilford Brimley does not actually guest star, so you'll have to tune in to find out the reference. And then never forget it. Barf.

Emily and Andrew are GOING TO EXTREMES, whether they like it or not. Listen as they head down to the Carribean (probably filmed on location in Jamaica) for another Pre-Disney ABC show, complete with butts, and so many problematic white boys. But at least it's not incompetent.
