Pop culture scientists and best friend duo Gabby and Zoe recap your favorite tv shows from yesteryear! These “scholars” will examine television from a variety of  eras, distilling narrative decisions down to only their key elements. We will interrogate characters, plot lines, iconic dialogue, media stunts, and provide key cultural context for some of the most beloved shows the old boob tube has to offer.  We get real, we get nasty, and we get real nasty.  New episodes every Wednesday, not safe for work or children.
