Fun fact to share before listening: this was the episode that taught me the word “sweatshop.” I also learned “date rape” from the show, so I guess I should be thankful to the show for the expansion of my English vocabulary.

THANK YOU for clocking the frigging bracelet! I was yelling at the screen as I was watching.

I totally forgot that the Devin actor had already been on the show. He guest-starred in a lot of 90’s shows and I always thought of him as “Anthony Kiedis lookalike guy” when he had long hair. I guess my then crush on him was totally hair-related. ETA: Phil Buckman is his name.

So I’m watching the relevant episodes on Hulu now. How lazy are the writers to give Noah a girlfriend who died in a car accident while he was present, similar to Toni? Sigh...

I don't know why the dartboard has me laughing so hard. I'm not going up to my room to watch TV or read...I'm going to play darts! "Would you like to join me in my bedroom...to play darts?!"

[blueroses]

Damn. You weren't kidding about the "Jughead Jones hat" hair on Vincent Young.

Is that a Zip disk drive on the desk? 100 whole megabytes on a disk that weighed half a pound and required special equipment to read!

Carly's outfit!  OMG... it's like the Limited Express oozed all over her.  Slip dress, Y necklace and that hair.  I can't see the shoes but if it was a flip flop that had a 2 inch platform or a shoe with a crazy 4 inch block heel that could have been borrowed from Frankenstein, then that was my outfit from the 90s.   I wonder if my "famous" satin jeans or the mini skirts with the SLIT will make an appearance on this show.

I only see a black ankle strap on the show, but will extrapolate (pardon the pun) that she’s wearing the black evening version of Val and Donna’s white platforms in that patio table photo. Probably all black instead of the cork sole.

Ladies and gentlemen: the ultimate '90s date outfit.

Imagine Donna in that outfit...or, her cleavage in that outfit.

[helent]

Surely Donna's extensive experience caring for her father qualifies her to look after Kellnesiac?

[benteen]

Vincent Young crying...oof.

After seeing that pic of Brandon looming behind Kelly in their room, I was really hoping Dave was going to bring Dracula to the podcast. Brandon was staring directly at her neck like it was dinner.

Can anyone explain to me the deadline the Beverly Beat is on? If they don't even have a printer? Like vendors are expecting the first issue cuz it's an established paper but Rush fired everyone? The existence of this "newspaper" has me more angry than I thought it would. It brings me a lot of comfort that by the year 2010 it'll be out of business.

[MissEwa]

I don't even know why, but I'm going to give Brandon the benefit of the doubt about the typing and suggest that maybe he was proofreading or editing, not actually writing? The keys are still well off but maybe he was scrolling down and putting in tabs or... something? Otherwise it is just too, too ridiculous.

No pass for either the cover or the inside of that paper. That red triangle on the front is weird enough but I like how they kinda tried to put an ad on the back but it's ended up just being a cartoon with the words 'surf rental' on it and no actual information. And why is Brandon's editorial positioned down the page with two lines of 'Beverly Nightlife' above it? Why do none of the styles match? Every single header is a different size and font. Half the page is left-aligned and half is justified. As a former magazine layout jockey that whole page makes me want to take to my eyeballs with scissors.

If she had a matching cardi, then that would've been me, although I sported the pixie cut instead of the sprouting hanging dangling plant 'do... Ah, block heels. Anyone have a pair *or 2* of block heel penny loafers? I just loved those stupid shoes.

LOL! I used to work for a trade mag back in the 90s and ITA with all of this. Also ridiculous is all the effin' time these idiots have to put out a paper with - what? 3 people? I was screaming along with Tara - that is NOT how any of that shit works.

Brandon is such a dick (DICK!) these days that I seriously expected his first words to Kelly, when her phone call roused him from his shooting nightmare, to be "Hey, I was just thinking about you."
