  1. Number 1: Episode 56: Shazam! - "Out of Focus"

    Shazam! "Out of Focus" October 16, 1976 ​An aspiring filmmaker captures a robbery on film. Now, the thieves are out to get the film, but he sees it as his ticket to success in a local film festival. Can Captain Marvel and Isis ensure this film makes it to the screen while keeping the young Spielberg safe? It's the final episode of the Shazam! series as John and Richard discuss the location of this particular episode, the professionalism of Michael Gray, the clunky resolution to a story that Isis could have solved with a simple incantation, and Shazam/Isis fandom. Plus: We have two flashbacks of our own in this episode! ​It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as [email protected]. ​Moral: "We've all been faced by temptation - a chance to win a contest, maybe cheat on an exam or make some easy money in a dishonest way, but most of us know better than to fall for things like that. In today's story, Jim learned what Zeus meant when he said, 'Those who act dishonestly to win, walk in disgrace, perhaps even in danger.' So play it safe and play it smart. Don't be fooled by temptation. The honest way is the best way." Guest Cast Andrew Stevens as Jim Nancy Morgan as Kathy Richard Stanley as Marty Cliff Wilson as Len and Joanna Cameron as Andrea Thomas/Isis

  2. Number 2: Episode 28: Shazam! - "Double Trouble"

    Shazam! "Double Trouble" September 27, 1975 Billy and Mentor are shocked to learn that Captain Marvel is accused of robbing a gas station. Billy's first instinct is to investigate the matter, but he turns himself in as Captain Marvel in order to prove a point to a young boy about the idea that no one is above the law. But if Captain Marvel is in jail, who is going to prove his innocence? John and Richard are both in agreement that this is one of the best episodes in the entire series. We learn though it's one that Jackson Bostwick suggested as an idea for the show and it allows Captain Marvel a lot more dialogue and screen time. The two discuss the potential of the episode, the importance of the moral today in a world where many feel they are above the law, and the number of known actors who appeared in this episode. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as [email protected]. ​Moral: "Respecting the law is just another way of saying that we respect each other. Laws have been made for the good of everyone, and when someone breaks the law, they're saying "I don't care about you." When you respect the law, you respect yourself." Guest Cast Ben Andrews as Pierce Young William Bassett as Bill Ritzi Ross Elliot as Sheriff Martin Jack Garner as Phil Schartoff Jimmy McNichol as Kelly Martin Bill Quinn as Larry Frank

  3. Number 3: Episode 27: Isis - "Spots of the Leopard"

    Isis "Spots of the Leopard" September 20, 1975 Jenny's father Chuck has returned after a stay in prison for theft and wants to start his life over. A series of thefts of industrial diamonds has a similar MO to Chuck's leading to almost everyone, including Jenny, that Chuck may be guilty. Everyone, except Andrea. Can she prove this to Jenny before it's too late? John and Richard are impressed with this episode, which they feel has more depth than a usual episode of either series. They go on to discuss how Isis feels like it learned from the mistakes of the first season of Shazam! while Shazam! continues to produce the same kind of stories as before. Finally, they make the comparison of these two shows with Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as [email protected]. Moral: "Today we learned the importance of keeping faith in a friend or someone you love even if it seems they've done something wrong. If they have, it will come out soon enough. If they haven't, they need someone who will believe in them when others won't. That's what being a true friend really means." Guest Cast Lou Frizzell as Chuck Nelson Debralee Scott as Jenny Nelson Edward Cross as Sgt. Connors Paul Jenkins as Tom Jenkins

  4. Number 4: Episode 26: Shazam! - "Fool's Gold"

    Shazam! "Fool's Gold" September 20, 1975 An old gold prospector is tormented by a group of young boys in the mountains near his claim. But when he's trapped within his mine, will they do the right thing and save him in time? Actor Michael Gray returns to the podcast to discuss another favorite of his from the Shazam! series. This episode marks the final appearance of Jackson Bostwick in the role of Captain Marvel. In addition to discussing the episode, Michael also talks about the accident that brought about Jackson's departure, the bonus feature he appears in on the Archer sixth season DVD set, and the possibility of his appearing on Dancing with the Stars. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as [email protected]. Moral: "There are some things even more precious than gold, things like respect and understanding. Respect means more than being polite. It means knowing we've learned from each other. There's a lot we can learn, if we only listen.

  5. Number 5: Episode 25: Isis - "Fool's Dare"

    Isis "Fool's Dare" September 6, 1975 Cindy Lee takes a dare to spend time in an abandoned junkyard. But she's unaware of the danger that lies within. And how is the junkyard connected to a car theft ring? And why doesn't Andrea simply turn to Isis for help when her car is stolen? These questions and more will be discussed on a new episode of the podcast. John and Richard wind up being split on how they feel about this episode. It's good, but is it as good as one of them feels? Also, what were the producers thinking when they dressed Cindy Lee in the more child-like clothing? And just how cool is Tut? Take a listen and let us know what you think. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as [email protected]. Moral: "When someone dares you to do something, it's often either something dangerous or wrong to for some other reason. So the question isn't whether you have the guts to do it or not, the question is do you have the nerve enough not to take the dare? Doing anything that you know is wrong is dumb, because you're the one who pays for it." ​ Guest Cast Charles Cyphers as Sam Niles Frank Whiteman as Cy Khan Josh Albee as Ernie Rothchild Jeff Tyler as Frank Iverson Albert Reed as Dr. Joshua Barnes
