    What's this... (relatively) strong episodes? In a row? Listen as Emily and Andrew discuss misread signals, sexual harrassment, emotional abuse, and bad Bob Saget acting. Also, some great Kindler! Finally--passing Bechdel with bras! And much more!!

    Apr 14 2025

    Almost halfway through the season, Andrew finally finds a couple episodes he likes, though he and Emily do have some pressing editing decisions to address. Listen as they discuss teacher evaluations, drinking orange juice, being super-judgey, and many other interesting and insightful topics.

  • 17.4 Bad Dad Mad (Platitudes), or: Raising Dad (2001) 7 & 8 of 22
    Apr 7 2025

    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.

  • 17.3 More Marvelousness (Dad Joke Discourse), or: Raising Dad (2001) 5&6 of 22
    Apr 2 2025

    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.

  • 17.2 Who's Goode, Meagan? (Additional Concerns), or: Raising Dad (2001) 3&4 of 22
    Mar 24 2025

    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).

  • 17.1 Saved by the Paget (Marvelous Comic Timing), or: Raising Dad (2001) 1&2 of 22
    Mar 18 2025

    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!

  • 16.7 In a World of Giants (Botanical Nap Time), or: Quark (1977) 8 of 8
    Mar 9 2025

    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!

  • 16.6 Moorings After (Nautical Theme), or: Quark (1977) 6 & 7 of 8
    Mar 4 2025

    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.
