Onesies

Andrew has lots of feelings about this episode, specifically Robert Saget as that guy in your MFA personified (but, like, earlier eighties Reagan MFA bro, yuck), and Emily is nice enough to amuse some rants. They also get to talk about what continues to be good, and what continues to confuse. Andrew also broaches a cursed subject with Emily.

Meagan Good's back! So are Bob Saget's racist dad jokes! Probably not an evening out but at least M.G. doesn't have to do a scene with him doing them? Anyway, join Emily and Andrew for a spirited discussion of two episodes, detailing how the show avoids drama (and reality) and how the supporting cast is still fantastic. But not the lengthy LADY BIRD discussion Andrew had planned.

Another two episodes and another number of concerns (probably in a multiple of two, but who knows) for Emily and Andrew as they get back to school to discover Bob Saget's got a new classroom and the school's got one less Black girl. At least there's some Kindler. (And other pluses but also... yikes abound).

Emily and Andrew hop in the family... sedan? We don't see the cars, really. But they're heading back to high school, this time with DAD (Bob Saget) along every day because he's the coolest teacher in school. Tune in as Emily has to remind Andrew to be nice, Andrew has to remind Emily DAD does not know how to act, and both of them delight in an unexpected Paget Brewster appearance!

Emily and Andrew finish the QUARK season with some high points (and higher production values) and some low points (or they're both just really sick of Richard Benjamin). Though Andrew did just realize there could be a STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS reference from this episode. But isn't going to google it (Gemini would lie). PLUS! A VERY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT NEXT SEASON!

Emily and Andrew throw caution to the wind and head straight into the Mutara Nebula of a two-part QUARK! Listen as they fail to make any nautical references despite the title of the episode, wonder how Joan Van Ark felt about some things on this gig, and much more! Oh, and there's some mega-gross sexism the hosts love having to talk about.

Andrew only supports women of color if they are legal citizens of the United States of America (ahem, Emi WON her match without Andrew's presence so it's fine, actually), Emily uses big words and we also talk a little bit about QUARK, men's fantasies and we slowly lose our minds.

Emily and Andrew blast off on another mission with Richard Benjamin and his crew of intergalatic garbage collectors and find themselves sort of stuck in a STAR TREK episode. There are black holes, lots of pew pew (for QUARK), and hacky performances. Wheeeeeeeee!

Emily and Andrew confront... THE NAKED TIME! Wait, no, Emily won't get that reference. Perhaps they've found their KOBAYSHI MARU! Wait, no, she won't get that one either. Well, I guess you'll just have to listen as they discuss Richard Benjamin... make-up actor, as well as how much an hour slot helps with supporting cast members.

Surprises abound as Emily and Andrew head back onto their star trek for space garbage, discovering maybe Buck Henry didn't have the right take on ol' QUARK. It's a longer episode (Pilot Two is 45 Minutes), with way less problematic vibes, no shitty transphobes, and a swell guest star.
