Onesies

Emily and Andrew have weathered the malestrom and survived, reaching JOE'S finest half-hour... when the show seemed to consider a refocus for the back nine. Or maybe it's just coincidentally the best of the worst. Listen as they say some regretful, but honest, things. And find out what's coming next season on ONESIES!

Emily and Andrew have now weathered 90% of the extant JOE'S LIFE episodes and they've got thoughts. And tangents. Buckle up and buckle in for a lot of talking about bad sitcoms, loathsome characterization, toxic masculinity, and James Marsden. Also mullets.

Ol' Jack Scratch has got out his ice skates because Emily and Andrew find themselves complimenting... JOE'S LIFE? Well, specifically and singularly special guest star George Coe, who sells it. The episode's still a mess, but there's good acting. It's been so long since Emily and Andrew have seen good acting from anyone but Mimi Kennedy and then only occasionally because the show doesn't do right by her at all. Definitely not here. Anyway. Who knew our intrepid hosts could ever be so bullish?

Despite JOE'S LIFE still being a miserable stink pile, Emily and Andrew manage to stay more on course--though most of the episode might be spent getting through the cold open--as they discuss toxic masculinity and pointed misanthropy. Tune in for all the fun (of discussing early nineties popular media).

It's another extra long episode full of tangly tangents, intentional and not, as Emily and Andrew head once more into the fiery hellscape of 1993 known as... JOE'S LIFE. Listen as they talk about better media. Listen as they compliment Mimi Kennedy. Listen as they go beyond the looking glass through multiple dimensions of misogyny. And as they gaze upon the horror, so too the horror gazes upon them. Beware.

Join Emily and Andrew as they refuse to let the creative misery and misogynist relic of JOE'S LIFE drag them down, so instead they go on a million tangents. Anything to keep themselves entertained...since Joe's Life fails at every attempt. It's ABC, after all.

Emily and Andrew settle in for some primo early nineties life lessons about how women shop and men buy, which can't even muster mildly amusing sexism thanks to the lousy writing. But at least there's a good (very supporting) guest star?

Emily and Andrew do manage find something they like about this episode--though it's just Mimi Kennedy, basically--while they wonder why the show couldn't be about the parents using protection to spare the world from JOE'S LIFE.

Emily and Andrew settle in for an early nineties PSA/pre-Disney ABC sitcom about how smoking is bad and it's probably your mom's fault. Definitely not dad's. Listen as they discuss rising about the material (okay, they don't talk about this one very much), okay Google searching, bad parenting, and toxic masculinity. It's the toxic masculinity season, actually. Though... aren't they all?

Emily and Andrew celebrate Pride with a tangent-heavy first episode of the season as they find themselves distracted by actual good news of the world, but manage to bring it all together to discuss bad parenting (on purpose), toxic and fragile masculinity (couple oxymorons there), and much more.
