When Catherine O’Hara died late last month, it was a sizable blow to the entertainment world. Whether it was on television or in movies, she brought a quality that was very particularly “her.” While that’s a tough thing to wrap up in just one episode, Dori and Kpolly give it a shot — with a little help from the Radio Milwaukee family.

Fellow O’Hara appreciator Jon Adler joins our familiar cinema-loving duo to craft a retrospective that’s both heartfelt and hilarious, much like the woman herself. 

We trace her journey from waitress to Gilda Radner understudy at Second City to a member of the groundbreaking troupe at SCTV. We dive into her most beloved performances, from the pretentious Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice to the frantic Kate McCallister in Home Alone to her understated performance as Mickey Crabbe in A Mighty Wind. Of course, no discussion would be complete without covering her turn as Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek (yes, the enchiladas make a cameo).

So join us as we fold in the cheese and have a good airplane cry while paying tribute to a true comedy legend.
