The Bull has become endlessly entertained by something called the #Dabbleverse - a subculture dedicated to covering / making fun of #StutteringJohn, late of the #HowardSternShow.

Join us as we analyze and review this 1991 made-for-TV adaptation.

This time, we discuss TWO Movies of the Week of the Week with a common theme.

In Devil's Food (1996) Suzanne Somers sells her soul to Dabney Coleman to remain at her ideal weight. In Shortcut to Happiness (2007), Alec Baldwin trades his eternal essence to Jeniffer Love Hewitt for literary success.
