Onesies17.8: Disappointing Men (Honkytonk Women), or: Raising Dad (2001) 15&16 of 22Emily and Andrew contend with the unexpected... what happens when Grandpa (Jerry Adler) disappoints? Nothing good. Luckily, the second episode they discuss has... well, more disappointing men but at least it's the usual disappointing man on the program. Plus, wild tangents unless Emily cut them?2025-05-0642 min
Onesies17.3 More Marvelousness (Dad Joke Discourse), or: Raising Dad (2001) 5&6 of 22Meagan 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.2025-04-0255 min
Onesies17.1 Saved by the Paget (Marvelous Comic Timing), or: Raising Dad (2001) 1&2 of 22Emily 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!2025-03-181h 18
Onesies16.7 In a World of Giants (Botanical Nap Time), or: Quark (1977) 8 of 8Emily 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!2025-03-0937 min
Onesies16.3 A No Win Scenario (January November), or: Quark (1977) 3 of 8Emily 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.2025-02-1037 min
Onesies15.7 Double-Length Season Finale (Did Anyone Watch), or: Duck Patrol (1998) 7 of 7Emily and Andrew dock for the very last time with Prof, Darwyn, Simon, Theodore, and all the rest of the gang. There's a lot of (talking about) action (and talking about talking about action from our intrepid hosts), and not much else. There's a lot of tangents, both because Emily and Andrew aren't interested in talking about the show, and because they're setting up for a bit. Or they're not. No one's quite sure.2025-01-181h 01
Onesies15.3 Pass the Beer (Kit or Not Kit), or: Duck Patrol (1998) 3 of 7The intrepid lads and lady of DUCK PATROL find themselves in hot water for not cracking enough skulls. Emily and Andrew find themselves bored watching as they figure out how to make it appear they're getting the job done. Sort of. This episode does not turn Emily around on the show.2024-12-2330 min
Onesies14.10 Bon Voyage! (Lobster Boy), or: Dweebs (1995), 10 of 10Emily and Andrew reach the end of another one season wonder or blunder and are left with many a question about their decisions. You too, dear listener, will be left with questions because Andrew gets the name of next season's show wrong! But join our intrepid hosts as they bid farewell to DWEEBS and Stephen Tobolowsky (for now?).2024-11-2738 min
Onesies13.8 There Will Be a Donkey (After-Thirst, Never)Emily and Andrew (especially Andrew) are a little punchy with the news J.D. Vance grew up in suburban Ohio and not impoverished in Appalachia and he's just a liar. Anyway. Mel and Bill are on assignment in Miami, they treat Ms. Brown like dirt, get into slight intrigue, oogle, there's a lot to talk about even beyond J.D. Vance being a liar. Also, some ideas about feedback formats for the pod.2024-07-2249 min
Onesies12.6 Insert Snowglobe Here (My Little Prince), or: Crashing (2016), 6 of 6What's this, another season without a bad episode? How ever will Emily and Andrew recover? Stay tuned to the end of this episode to find out. You don't just get to hear about next season, you also get to hear all about CRASHING's finale, which Emily knew about already because she watched ahead. Listen as they hosts try to remember numerous details, track various scenes, and keep spoilers until the last possible moment.2024-05-2741 min
Onesies12.5 How's the Curry? (Damn It, Lulu), or: Crashing (2016), 5 of 6Emily and Andrew reach the penultimate CRASHING and discuss how the show starts wrapping things up, and the chances PWB takes with the audience's stomachs to get there. They also remain bullish about their ships on the show. At least, Andrew does; Emily watched ahead. Le sigh.2024-05-2024 min
Onesies11.12 More Disagreement (So Long, Farewell), or: When Things Were Rotten (1975), 13 of 13Once again exhibiting their herculean patience, Emily and Andrew reach the edge of Sherwood and the end of WHEN THINGS WERE ROTTEN. Listen as they discuss the pleasing oblivion of utterly middling television, seventies sexism, racism, and... probably other things. Plus, Emily reveals next season's series!2024-04-1424 min
Onesies10.4 Stick It In My Armpit (Cheese On Cheese), or: Fishing With John (1992), 4 of 6Emily and Andrew head to the frozen wastelands of Maine, where they join John Lurie and Willem Dafoe on their very manly quest for fish, which taunt them from below the frozen lake. It's Emily's favorite FWJ and the show's firing on all cylinders, so everyone has a great time. At least those who aren't ice fishing.2024-01-1534 min
Onesies10x3 - Matt Dillon! (We Loved You in Good Will Hunting), or: Fishing with John (1992), 3 of 6Emily, Andrew, John, and Matt (Dillon) head to scenic Costa Rica where John and Matt maybe duked it out with gringo banditos and machismo-fueled fisherman, powered with nothing but the Fish Dance to ensure a half hour of great television. The Fish Dance is that powerful. Plus, as the narration informs us all, it's probably the best episode anyway. Tune in as Emily and Andrew once again wonder why they ever watched bad shows instead of delightful ones.2024-01-0735 min
Onesies9x2 - Long Arms (Longer Canon), or: Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (2023), 2 of 3Emily and Andrew pass through the galactic barrier to the very edge of the known universe for a done-in-one episode for David Tennant and Catherine Tate's Doctor Donna, albeit one involving fifteen years of television show canon and, well, billions of years of story time. Listen as they discuss special effects, robots, puzzles, chemistry, icky badness, and so much more.2023-12-101h 07
Onesies9x1 - Trans Lives Matter (Eat 💩, Joanne), or: Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (2023), 1 of 3Well, dear listeners, the day has arrived. Emily and Andrew enjoy talking about the subject episode again. It's only been 65 million years. And enjoy they do, because the first DOCTOR WHO special (small spoiler, no doctor who? joke yet) is a complete delight. It's a new forward facing era for the Doctor, done right (so far).
Current outlook for escaping Jantique after the specials conclude? Promising.2023-12-031h 05
Onesies8x11 - Heal the ... (Ma'am, Who's the 6:30 F*ck), or: Going to Extremes (1992), 11 of 17After a week of bliss away from Jantique, Emily and Andrew return for a perfect storm of GOING TO EXTREMES' worst instincts. Charlie (and friends) don't like being told not to be racist monsters, Alex has mommy domme issues with his sex prof, and Roy D gets jealous of other people not having to be Roy D. Join us?2023-11-1855 min
Onesies8x10 - For Our Sins (A Dream Sequence), or: Going to Extremes (1992), 10 of 17Emily and Andrew find themselves torn between an actual effective--albeit ripped straight from NORTHERN EXPOSURE--plotline with guest star Jon Seneca and the latest "Cheryl's Black and she says it's okay for Charlie to be afraid of Black people" plotline. Listen as the hosts remain in bargaining limbo, hoping against hope something bad won't happen, but it's EXTREMES so of course it will.2023-11-0540 min
Onesies8x9 - A Geographical Oddity (Wrong Pleasure), or: Going to Extremes (1992), 9 of 17Emily and Andrew officially pass the halfway point through GOING TO EXTREMES. Will they rename the pod to "WE HATE THIS SHOW" in honor of EXTREMES? Probably not. Tune in and listen as they discuss the show's tropes: learning from your racism halfway through the episode instead of the end, why they've got the white lady intent on making the Black lady hate the other Black people, and bad music.2023-10-2935 min
Onesies8x8 - Ruthless Animals (Pinch Me), or: Going to Extremes (1992), 8 of 17It's another week in Paradise, or whatever hellish approximation of it GOING TO EXTREMES thinks they're doing. But at least there's less racism? So much more misogyny than usual, though. Listen as Emily and Andrew discuss child brides, getting in character, inappropriate touching, appropriate touching, and just how many more episodes until the halfway point.2023-10-2152 min
Onesies8x7 - Even Nedry Knew Better (Free Dissociation), or: Going to Extremes (1992), 7 of 17Emily and Andrew are back for another week of GOING TO EXTREMES. This time they wonder... why they're leaning into the racism, where the responsible people have gone, and why... just why. There may be some good tangents, but no promises.2023-10-1647 min
Onesies8x6 - Like a Piece of Furniture (Popping Zits), or: Going to Extremes (1992), 6 of 17Another week(ish), another EXTREME outing for Emily and Andrew. Tune in as they discuss a really good idea for a show where Joanna Going and Delroy Lindo fall in love, miss getting to watch DRACULA: THE SERIES, and wonder why EXTREMES decided Andy Lauer plays the best racist.2023-10-0952 min
Onesies8x5 - White Saviors, Necrophilia (Yes, Really), or: Going to Extremes (1993), 5 of 17,000,004Emily and Andrew return to their penance for god knows what, a.k.a. the ABC "Northern Exposure in the Bahamas*" failed effort... GOING TO EXTREMES. This episode's about nothing, being a white savior, and very unhealthy teacher-student relationships. But it's short and sweet, at least (our episode, not theirs; theirs is an eldritch horror).2023-10-0149 min
Onesies8x4 - Metaphysical Goats (Let's Get Physical)In an unexpected twist, Emily and Andrew diverge on the episode--Andrew thinks it's the best GOING TO EXTREMES so far, Emily's not so sure. But then Andrew's basing it on the romance between Colin and Kim being a real thing and not some weird, bad nineties thing. Also Joanna Going is bad. And awkwardly hostile to Erika Alexander, who's good. But at least there's no teacher-student sexual predation?2023-09-111h 13
Onesies8x3 - What Do You Mean That's Not Oedipal (Enough), or: Going to Extremes (1993), 3 of 17Remember how much fun it was to make Motherboy jokes about Desi Arnez Jr. on AUTOMAN? Well, GOING TO EXTREMES decided to do it straight-faced. But don't worry, there's Elektra opportunities too. Unexpected ones even. Emily and Andrew's biggest selection mistake continues to be... their biggest selection mistake. Enjoy!2023-09-041h 12
Onesies8x2 - Wilfred Brimley (F*ck Daddy), or: Going to Extremes (1992), 2 of 17The title says it all.
As if.
Emily and Andrew once again descend into GOING TO EXTREMES and find the show's "hold my beer" approach to being problematic... well, problematic. Plus, Wilford Brimley does not actually guest star, so you'll have to tune in to find out the reference. And then never forget it. Barf.2023-08-281h 05
Onesies8x1 - I Will Be Your White Savior (M-O-N), or: Going to Extremes (1992), 1 of 17Emily and Andrew are GOING TO EXTREMES, whether they like it or not. Listen as they head down to the Carribean (probably filmed on location in Jamaica) for another Pre-Disney ABC show, complete with butts, and so many problematic white boys. But at least it's not incompetent.2023-08-211h 18
Onesies7x10 - Best of Luck on Future Projects (Not), or: Joe's Life (1993), 10 of 10Emily 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!2023-08-1349 min
Onesies7x9 - Do Not Talk to Teenagers in Bathrooms (Seriously)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.2023-08-061h 15
Onesies7x8 - Who's Acting (Geo. Coe)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?2023-07-311h 08
Onesies7x7 - Sweet Smelling (Garbage), or: Joe's Life (1993), 7 of 10Despite 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).2023-07-2450 min
Onesies7x6 - Mimi Kennedy is Funny (The Rest is So Bad), or: Joe's Life, 6 of 10It'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.2023-07-171h 24
Onesies7x5 - My Good Lug Wrench (Pull The Plug), or: Joe's Life, 5 of 10Join 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.2023-07-101h 11
Onesies7x4 - Girls' Cars (Mallrats), or: Joe's Life (1993), 4 of 10Emily 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?2023-07-031h 03
OnesiesOnesies 7x3 - Whine Dad (Say it Naked), or: Joe's Life (1993), 3 of 10Emily 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.2023-06-2745 min
Onesies7x2 - Healthy Butter (Pencils), or: Joe's Life (1993), 2 of 10Emily 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?2023-06-1944 min
Onesies7x1 - Rat Tail (Karaté) - Joe's Life (1993) - 1 of 10Emily 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.2023-06-111h 23
Onesies6x6 - Red Enough (Glow) - Chessgame (1983), 6 of 6Emily and Andrew bid a fond farewell to CHESSGAME, despite the finale not being fully realizing the show's potential, and being able to make numerous comparisons to a particular Canadian production about a Carpathian count. But for CHESSGAME, they leave amused, confused, and delighted (by the fasion). They also announce next season's show, though Emily doesn't let Andrew spoil one of the major reasons they picked it. Or at least, the major reason he's excited for it.2023-06-041h 04
Onesies6x5 - Blue Eyes (Svelte Hips), or: Chessgame (1983), 5 of 6In the latest in their series of learned observations, Emily and Andrew head to Oxford for the penultimate episode of CHESSGAME, where we learn they do appear to be doing the cuckold subplot, David (Terence Stamp) got a promotion even though his boss is woke, and much more. What Emily and Andrew don't do talk about is how they're almost done with the good TV show they've been watching and it's about to get hot and steamy once again.2023-05-2836 min
OnesiesUnterpantzi! (Back On) - Chessgame, 4 of 6Emily and Andrew continue to battle their most formidable opponent--a show getting better as it goes along. Now technically halfway through CHESSGAME (which is somehow getting less problematic as it goes), they discuss confounding espionage, corrupt politicians, and old British drunkards.2023-05-2252 min
Onesies6x3 - I'll Call You (Mustache) - Chessgame, 3 of 6Another week, another... good hour of television? Tune in and find out what Emily and Andrew thinking--other than Terence Stamp and Robin Sachs are super-sexy, of course, which is 24.3% of the show. But there's mystery--and espionage--and good television afoot.2023-05-1551 min
Onesies6x2 - Don't Tease (The Czar) - Chessgame (1983) - 2 of 6Emily and Andrew once again find themselves trying to suss out good television and, even with the racism, sexism, and general bigotry, find it hard to complain too much about eighties anti-James Bond James Bond. They do have a lot to say about outfits, saucy British television, as well as MI-5 work ethic.2023-05-071h 08
Onesies6x1 - Don't Google (No Heroes) - Chessgame (1983)No Dracula: The Series jokes, folks, because we've moved on! Finally! Emily and Andrew head back to 1983 Britain for some CHESSGAME, starring Terence Stamp (don't google him and brexit btw), some other people not to google, maybe one person you can google, and lots of talk about espionage, commercial breaks, and, sadly, commonplace bigotry. But it's a good show. We barely remember what those are.2023-04-301h 00
Onesies5x21 - No Place to Be a Man - Dracula: The Series, 21 of 21Emily and Andrew celebrate the final episode of DRACULA: THE SERIES with... an admiration for the episode? Tune in to find out how bad they've got the Stockholm Syndrome, listen as they discuss continuity, scary bad guys, and unlocked castles. AND they announce next season's show!2023-04-2443 min
Onesies5×20 - Rarebit Fiend - Dracula: The Series (1990), 20 of 21It's the penultimate episode of season five, which means Emily and Andrew are almost done with DRACULA: THE SERIES! For their coverage of the-second-to-last episode--a clip show--they do an audio commentary because the thought of watching it straight was way too daunting. Listen as they predict all the twists and turns, but do get to see Geordie Johnson get a lot better over time....2023-04-1733 min
Onesies5x19 - Hot, and Steamy - Dracula: The Series (1990), 19 of 21Emily and Andrew find the Stockholm Syndrome has entirely set in, just when they're almost done, as they... enjoy?... appreciate?... savor?... the episode. There's some really bad stuff, obviously, but there's also Hot and Steamy Schnitzel and more good(!?!?!) Geordie Johnson Dracula? Dig on in, y'all.2023-04-1047 min
Onesies5x18 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 18 of 21Now decidedly in DTS's "end game," Emily and Andrew discover the series does indeed improve... or at least finds its most successful tone. Listen as they discuss the lack of I LOVE LUCY references, bad CASABLANCA ones, Stephen King zingers, bad acting (of course), and much more.2023-04-0244 min
Onesies5x17 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 17 of 21It's the episode Emily and Andrew really haven't been asking for, but knew was inevitable--the return of "Mr. Perfect" Geraint Wyn Davies. Listen as they discuss new lows in bad acting, why the graveyard guy from episode two can't return, episodes airing out of order, and the intellectual potential of dust mites.2023-03-2639 min
Onesies5x16 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 16 of 21After reminding everyone there are only five more episodes of DRACULA (which requires Andrew to relearn counting), hosts Emily and Andrew dig in and start talking background extras, Luxembourg old folks homes, George Bernard Shaw, and much more.2023-03-1939 min
Onesies5x15 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 15 of 21Emily and Andrew dig into the latest installment of DRACULA's multi-episode arc, which has promptly forgetten the first couple installments, but Emily and Andrew can't. The memories are seared in. Listen as they discuss--once again--adults as the romantic interests for fourteen year-olds, lots of plot, and... better direction?2023-03-1247 min
Onesies5×14 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 14 of 21Emily and Andrew get the episode they'd been waiting for and immediately regret thinking the show could pull it off. Even if Max is less annoying than usual. The other actors more than make up for him. But at least it's not AS creepy as last episode. It's creepy, to be sure. But not AS creepy.2023-03-0641 min
Onesies5×13 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 13 of 21Emily and Andrew are sad to discover Dracula can still surprise them, especially when it involves untrustworthy medical professionals, rare blood diseases, icky groomers, and, of course, "Name that Polka!"2023-02-2650 min
Onesies5x12 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 12 of 21Emily and Andrew find themselves less than tickled with this episode, featuring the initially unwanted return of a guest star from before, only then they turn out to be so much better than anyone else. The saddest part if when our unflappable hosts realize they've got another 9 episodes.2023-02-1939 min
Onesies5x11 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 11 of 21Let's do the time warp again! Or, at least Andrew's convinced these episodes aired out of order (the proof is in the poloraids)! Listen as Emily and Andrew discuss whether or not grown women creeping on teenagers is better or worse when it's not sapphic (but still male gaze-y), Uncle Gustav's terrible vampire hunting, what Canadians talk aboot, and Max's #$%@&ing fedora.2023-02-1245 min
Onesies5x10 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 10 of 21After the episode impresses Emily and Andrew with the ability to pan the camera three whole times, they immediately get depressed and disgusted, both by the "rock and roll" subplot, but mostly the felonious male gaze groomer A plot.2023-02-0547 min
Onesies5×9 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 9 of 21Emily and Andrew once again leave DRACULA unconvinced of the show's conceits, this time involving psychics, Uncle Gustav being a desired television guest, and Dracula's ability to consume Orville Redenbacher's (sadly in not in a lewd way). But they do like adorable lagomorphs.2023-01-3048 min
Onesies5×8 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 8 of 21In another startling development... Emily and Andrew discover, under the right circumstances, the show can be downright charming and delightful. Albeit only when guest mom is Dracula's bride and ready to destroy the regular cast but still. Who knew? Join them for a spirited discussion of power suits, capitalist greed, and the smell of decaying flesh.
Oh, and t-shirts! https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Lucard-by-Van-Gogh-by-visualreflux/137880561.2UAKP2023-01-2248 min
Onesies5x7 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 7 of 21In a surprise twist, Emily and Andrew find themselves unironically praising some of this episode. But heaping on the praise (for special guest star Kim Coates). They also talk about toxic whiny boys, bad acting, Canadian accents, bad Canadian accent acting, and much more.2023-01-1539 min
Onesies5x6 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 6 of 21Emily and Andrew celebrate St. George's Eve early this year with a very special family-focused episode of DRACULA: THE SERIES. Listen as Emily delights in Geraint Wyn Davies's over-"acting", as Andrew threatens to make her watch NICK KNIGHT for more of it, and they both wonder why the show avoids having female guest stars. Other than the obvious reasons.2023-01-0846 min
Onesies5×5 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 5 of 21Featuring a very special guest star (in other words, Emily couldn't edit out a cat cameo)! Join Emily and Andrew in their first episode of 2023, which Emily didn't enjoy anywhere near as much as Andrew, though he's convinced it's because she missed a vital part of the final showdown!2023-01-0447 min
Onesies5x4 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 4 of 21How can DRACULA disappoint? Listen as Emily and Andrew count the many ways--including with the teen dating subplot, leading to some dated references for millennials and Gen-Xers, trying to suss the vampire "rules," and lengthy discussions about terrible acting.2022-12-2540 min
Onesies5×3 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 3 of 21Emily and Andrew are delighted to discover DRACULA: THE SERIES isn't anywhere near done being amazing, what with energy bolts, starcrossed lover monologues, tai chi, and Geordi Johnson deciding he's not over-acting enough yet.2022-12-1847 min
Onesies5×2 - Dracula: The Series (1990), 2 of 21It's another vampire genre-busting episode of DRACULA: THE SERIES and Emily and Andrew are thrilled to be along for the ride. Listen as they spot new houses, new backstories, new tropes, but the same old exercise bike and some truly godawful kid acting. 2022-12-1153 min
Onesies4x13 - Police Squad, 6 of 6Emily and Andrew reach the end of POLICE SQUAD (IN COLOR) and sadly bid farewell to this actually great series. Listen as they discuss Peter Lupus, Leslie Neilsen (FTW), guest stars, comedy tropes, and much more.2022-11-2041 min
Onesies4x12 - Police Squad, 5 of 6Emily and Andrew are back on the beat with another episode of POLICE SQUAD IN COLOR. Listen as they regal Peter Lupus and Leslie Nielsen, talk repetitive jokes, and argue about the shoe shine guy.2022-11-1346 min
Onesies4x10 - Police Squad, 4 of 6Emily and Andrew have entered the second half of POLICE SQUAD (in color) and discovered maybe these types of projects work better as ninety-minute movies. Though they are very impressed with the guy who's not back in the NAKED GUN.2022-10-3038 min
Onesies4x9 - Police Squad, 3 of 6Emily and Andrew finally hit the first problematic POLICE SQUAD, albeit--thankfully--briefly, unless you want to talk about delightful (albeit exploited) primate actors, who also figure into this quite funny episode. The pod also required extra editing from Emily because of fire alarms; she saved you from the beeps, but not from Andrew's ad-libbing.2022-10-2436 min
Onesies4×8 - Police Squad, 2 of 6Emily and Andrew head to Cleveland for the big fight! Or is it Cincinnati? Regardless, listen as they discuss the second episode of POLICE SQUAD, directed by Joe Dante and co-wrriten by Robert Wuhl, which has a lot less Leslie Nielsen showcases, but still works out.  2022-10-1633 min
Onesies4x7 - Police Squad, 1 of 6Emily and Andrew head into the Season 4, Act 2, Yankees 4: Police Squad, the original "brilliant but cancelled."
