Same! Audio won't play. Download takes me back to the home screen. Both Stitcher and Podcast Addict have last week's as the most recent.

Kelly and Donna look like madams at the Bunny Ranch (or what I would imagine them to look like based on TV and movies).

I recently started watching Witches of East End because Sarah has mentioned it on the podcast. I'm loving it.
I, too, teared up when Sarah talked about going out to vote. -
So, getting pregnant gets you out of a gang?

I still have my extension that turns any "Trump" picture into kittens. So, the "Trump finger" caption has yielded me a full page of absolutely delightful kitten pictures. Too many to share them all but, here is one particularly adorable substitution.

Not too long ago, Lifetime did a remake of Mother May I Sleep with Danger? They ran the original and and the remake as a double feature. I screamed during the original when we got a Tori Spelling trademarked "heeen" in it.

I believe Vanous is pronounced more like van-us, and his acting ventures took him as far as a starring role in a two-season TNN show called 18 Wheels of Justice. And I don't know if my next sentence should be about how much his career sounds like a joke from 30 Rock, or how sad it is that I remember this much about a simian thirst trap from 25 years ago.
I love everything about this post.

I think they do "punish her" by having it be that Kelly is somehow infertile too. And, of course they act like only at age 20/21 did she get on the Pill, when we full well know that Jackie would have had her on it.
Oh, right, I completely forgot about that storyline. Thanks for the reminder. Now I remember there was something about that that seriously bugged but I don't care enough to revisit the episode for a refresher.

No, Val, you absolutely do not owe Noah an apology. It's nice of you to bring Donna flowers but she so doesn't deserve them. Please, make friends with other people.
Only on 90210 can someone develop an opioid addiction, overdose, and recover in two weeks. I guess since someone can be raped, the case reviewed, a civil court trial happen, and the actual victim apologize to the rapist in roughly the same amount of time; it all checks out.-

I don't think Kelly really needs to be worried about a newborn, healthy, white baby not immediately getting a loving family that will be there to pick him up when he cries. I'm sure the waiting list is long.

I have no memory of ever hearing Kelly had a miscarriage on the podcast, so I probably blocked it out. Or I have forgotten due to the crazy length of these seasons. I certainly didn't watch it, I peaced-out around high school graduation.
If I recall correctly, she had decided to have an abortion; but, since it was the '90s, all women on teen driven shows were rewarded with a miscarriage before they actually went through with the abortion. This absolved anyone from having to go through with making a valid, legal choice on TV. You get the win for considering it but not the hassle for going through with it. It also gives Kelly many opportunities to be all sad about what could have been when it fits the narrative/her motives in the most annoying way possible.

Look, I know this show is TERRIBLE at this late stage of its run, but the AWT podcasts seem to be getting better and better. I've said it before, and I'll say it again (and again and again): THANK YOU for your sacrifice, @Tara Ariano and @Sarah D. Bunting. You are wonderful.
I agree. I was so happy to get a nice long episode this week. Keep up the good work!
Me three! Truly a highlight of the week.

This episode enrages me. These people are the worst. The decent human being code is that you give the benefit of the doubt to the person who says they were raped. I don't care if you've ever had sex with the person before or how drunk you are. When the other party is just that wasted, they can't give consent. It's just that simple. The way Noah is portrayed as another victim and how very few of these jerks have any empathy for Valerie makes my blood boil. Instead of acting like the real victim, he should be asking who drugged Valerie and why. Why are they acting like this was a simple misunderstanding of Noah not realizing she had been drugged? Why does he have no shame? And why is Donna angrier that he simply slept with someone else than she is that he raped someone? And, Kelly, with all her past issues should be Valerie's number one supporter. I seriously hate these people and the message they are sending. I can't even with the police brutality story line.

How does no one point out all the times Kelly cheated or got involved with someone who was cheating? I'm not defending Brandon, he's awful and can go eat bees, and Kelly has every right to be hurt and feel betrayed but her sanctimony kills me. Also, where was Donna's anger and judgement all those times Kelly was the cheater? I hate the situational ethics and morality of these idiots. I do like Brandon and Kelly together for the sole reason it saves two other people from them.

Happy Endings did the Penny hates her birthday because something always goes wrong thing.
15 hours ago, WhosThatGirl said:And as for Revivials like GG, eh. I’m not sure what bothered me about it? The story they ended up telling just didn’t work for me. And GG and W&G are the only revivials I’ve watched thus far. I’ve never watched ODAT so I have no preconceived notions on that show anyway. I’ll probably check the Roseanne revival out and see what it’s all about.
For me, it was because GG amped up how loathsome many of the characters truly are and some of their character traits were off.

This podcast will no longer play from the web nor can I download it. If I click to download it; I'm getting a can't be found/proxy error. I'm having trouble getting to old nonac and canon episodes, too. From the EHG podcast, sounds like your updating some things so maybe it's just in flux right now?

I still go back and read your TWoP recaps for Dawson's Creek from time to time, I love them so much. I remember in the recap for the series finale, there's a scene where Dawson, Joey, and Pacey are in a car after they find out Jen is dying, and Pacey cracks a The Triangle (TM) joke. Dawson says it's the most inappropriate thing he could have said, and you or Tara proceeded to list all the tasteless jokes he could have made instead. I still shake my fist and shout "Why aorta..." because of it.
I still read those too! They are hilarious. The various descriptions of the theme song are top notch. There are far more episodes I've read than I ever watched. Side note, I also read the recaps of the deplorable 7th Heaven for entertainment purposes. I'm so sad they never recapped the "The Magic of Gershwin" episode.
Tab is readily available in our grocery stores. I made my family drink it the day we watched an Astronaut Wives Club marathon.
Of course there are holes you could drive a truck through with the Duncan kidnapping story but I still love this episode. I love Lucy Lawless in it. "Team. Me. Team. Me."

I spent most of the ‘90s and part of the early ‘00s working in various service industries and in none of them did we ever run checks through to verify available funds. The hotel I worked at didn’t take checks. I had many awkward credit card declines to handle though. I also worked for a national chain restaurant. We still took checks and did not run them through anything. We were still doing the write the person’s driver’s license and phone number on the check thing. Then I worked retail at another national chain in the early 2000s, our registers had something for the checks that sounds similar to the one @bilgistic describes but it didn't verify available funds. We were still writing license numbers and phone numbers down. The only thing the register did was imprint the deposit information for the store. People constantly bounced checks.
Are we supposed to feel sympathy for Noah for killing his girlfriend? One beer and being reckless because you had to get away from your parents, who may be jerks but weren’t harming you, is not really stirring up any sympathy from me. I can’t have compassion particularly since it appears he got away scot-free.
How many times can these bros say “man” to each other?
I haven't actually seen any of these episodes. They sound horrible and I can't thank Tara and Sarah enough for watching them for us. Their anger and disgust are so entertaining.
“She’s not answering the coconut.” LOL

Yeah, same -- I teared up just hearing about it!

Seriously, I'm at work trying to hide from my coworkers the fact I'm crying.

JP looks like he is struggling to pick up JG when he swings her around in the office. It looks awkward because of their heights.

We did nothing with a baby in my high school. No animatronic baby, no sacks of flour, no eggs, nothing of that sort. Our sex education was included in a "Health" class and equated to don't have sex or you'll get VD (the term at the time because I'm that old) and have a baby that will ruin your life. This same class told us all drugs and alcohol no matter which ones and no matter what quantities lead to a terrible life on the streets or death if you are lucky. This includes the very heavy handed pot as a gateway drug lesson. This was public school in, shockingly, North Carolina in the early/mid '80s. To be fair, they did tell us birth control exists but that was only to be used by married people. By the time I was a senior, they were begrudgingly telling students about the necessity of condoms if you have sex given that we were deep in the HIV/AIDS crisis at the time it was a given death sentence (graduated 1986).
"Rode hard meet put away wet" has to be one of my favorite lines in the entire series. The Trina and Kendall scene never fails to make me laugh.

I loved Foyle's War and watched it so much my family literally cheered the day it went off Netflix. Then I subjected them to Land Girls and Bomb Girls as revenge.
It's a few weeks old news now but Hulu is now streaming the entire ER series. POP airs it but they do a weird cycle of a block of seasons over and over and then a new block. I swear they skipped Season 7 the first time around. I gave up on them.

L.A. to Vegas is one of those shows that amuses me and occasionally makes me chuckle. When it goes off, I've enjoyed it. Then I forget about its existence.
My favorite things about The Marvelous Mrs Maisel: the wardrobe and the sets. They are beautiful. I enjoy getting a peek into vintage details like her workout routine at the health club.
I don't think Midge broke up with Joel over the stolen material. He actually left her after they fought. Plus, he was having an affair.-

Extra Hot Great
in Podcasts
I love their podcast. It's enjoyable for me even when I haven't seen the movie or occasional TV show. Be careful though. If you really, really, really love a movie and can't bear any criticism, skip it if you aren't sure you can appreciate it in a new light. They are fun to listen to but make keen observations.
Always assume it was meant as a compliment.
