In this unlocked bonus episode, Marty and Dan cover one of the worst shows of all time. My Mother the Car is a bizarre TV Relic that should have stayed buried but we can't help ourselves. It's just failure and loser energy all over the place with this one, folks.

We're meeting back up with our friend Teen Angel but things are looking a little different now, muich more manly, much more rugged, much more designed to appeal to a young male audience. And you know who young boys love more than anything? That's right, big JVD to the rescue again.

We're covering Dredd, Big Trouble in Little China, The Raid , and Violent Night.   Episode contains spoilers. LAST TIME ON GOON ROYALE: Fifth Element took the Bad Boys down, much to Marty's relief.

Continuing our journey into TGIF's most cursed attempts at success, we move on to 1997's Teen Angel .

Plus, Marty is the defender of space. Like this? Join our  Patreon , reach us on  Bluesky , or send us an em...

We're starting a new mini-series! TGIFailure explores the terrible shows that ABC tried to make into hits throughout the 80s and 90s by shoving them into their mildly successful TGIF block!

Watch all of You Wish and read its backstory on...

We close out our Mad About Mad About You miniseries with a look at the four- (four!) episodes that make up Mad about You's first series finale - until NBC changed their mind and brought it back with a baby. Continuing its streak of not caring about tv "rules", Mad About You brings everything to a big crash and we are along for the ride, stressed-out and angry! Like this? Join our  Patreon , reach...

Today we're covering Hard Boiled, Con Air, Bad Boys 2, and The Fifth Element . Episode contains spoilers.

It's our Seson Finale, and we're talking about 1998's Pleasantville , a movie where a black-and-white sitcom turns color and everyone gets really mad about it! Sound familiar?

This episode gets weird as we talk about Ringo Starr's hypothetical podcast, decide another thing is a CIA psyop, and debate philosophically about threesomes. We relate to teens with the most relatable teen show in the country, a show loved by teens in a way we definitely understand. There's music in this episode too and all of it is bad. Season 6, Episode 30 "A Singer In Town" A podcast that's ac...
