Just Another Friday Night

Tragically on November 19, 2022, many of us lost someone who was incredibly dear to our childhood. Actor Jason David Frank died at the too young age of 49. For most of his fans it was JDFs' portrayal of Tommy Oliver throughout The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise. Starting as The Green Ranger then becoming The White Ranger. He would eventually wear the mantle of the Red Ranger (Zeo/Turbo) an...

Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality. BUT...there is, unseen by most, an underworld - a place that is just as real but not as brightly lit...a DARKSIDE. 90 episodes from 1983 to 1988 and a feature film in 1990 Tales from the Darkside was a series that tackled not just ghost stories, sci-fi adventures, & creepy, unexplainable events. On top of all that it has one of t...

Finally we get The Walking Dead anthology series we'd always hoped for since we first heard about Fear the Walking Dead. Now in these 6 self contained stories we get to see what was happening in other places with other people in other scenarios. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to those very unique scenarios and the entire series left us with very Creepshow vibes. Which to us is perfect for s...

Laruso. Lawrence. Diaz. Keene. Nichols. Moskowitz. For 5 glorious seasons these names have been synonymous with THE BEST in The Valley and with season 4's re-emergence of Terry Silver there has been new dominance attached to Cobra Kai.

Serenity NOW!!! Yada, yada, yada, it's an episode about Seinfeld! One of our all time favorite shows to ever grace TV! Back in the time of Must See TV NBC delivered for Seinfeld to us for 9 seasons.

In what continues to be quite possibly the best comic book show on television The Boys season 3 did not fail to deliver. We haven't talked The Boys since season 2 ended and we couldn't wait to discuss this one with all The Friday Nighters in The Friday Night Faithful!!! We called our first episode on The Boys "Herogasm" but it was not until this season that the reference came full circle with thei...

"Be running up that road, be running up that hill, be running up that building..." Like the rest of the world we are collectively jamming out to Kate Bush and Metallica's Master of Puppets. While Metallica may come as no surprise to The Friday Night Faithful - when it comes to Running Up that Hill well it's no secret that we owe that specifically to Max Mayfield, The Duffer Brothers, and the jugge...

Happy 4th of July Friday Nighters! In what has become a sort of tradition for the JAFN podcast we wanted to cover an American story that represented America to us. In the past we've covered The Punisher tale BORN about Frank Castles' apparent deal with The Devil. This year we are using really 2 great issues by one of our very favorite writers Garth Ennis, who also wrote BORN. And it comes from CM...

"Hello there!" He is the favorite Jedi of the JAFN podcast. Easily on the Mt. Rushmore of Jedi and Star Wars characters. Sir Alec Guinness first breathed life into the character in 1977 but Ewan McGregor took up the mantle and gave new life to the character. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and the latest Star Wars installment on Disney+ are the subject of tonight's show! We can't wait to share our thou...

When a young Luke Skywalker first asked Ben Kenobi if he "fought in the Clone Wars," in 1977 - it was as if a million young minds suddenly cried out. What the hell was the Clone Wars?! It sounded amazing! As fans we would have to wait until 2002 for Grand Jedi Master Yoda to let us know that "begun the Clone Wars has," however we still wouldn't see just how Obi-Wan and Anakin fought in these Clone...

Tonight it's a freestyle for the Friday Night Faithful! And we don't mean Stevie B and skating rink music.
