A Different Direction

An explanation of our current hiatus.

Yo, this episode really has us pumped for season 2.

No one is safe. Sometimes you gotta have boots.

Dave has developed some powerful feelings about this dumb show.

Did you know that a show can be a lot better when you actually let the characters interact with each other?

Literally anything could be an Inhuman when Inhumans can be anything.

This really long episode is ultimately just to explore the most important question: Is Beetlejuice an Inhuman?

It's not a great sign for a show when the only person who says anything the audience agrees with is the tyrannical antagonist they hate.

This show is significantly lacking in Phil Collinses.

Agents of SHIELD was criminally underappreciated, so what happens when you spin it off with characters that were too obscure for that show, put the creator of Iron Fist at the helm, and release it two seasons after it was relevant to the series? We don't know, and be honest, neither do you. No one watched this show.

The final installment of the Fawlty Towers remakes brings with it something we never wanted: A Ferris Bueller Cinematic Universe.

Rails? Where this podcast is going, we don't need rails.

Comedy legends Betty White and Harvey Korman remaking a classic BBC comedy? What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, almost everything. Just so much.

We're going in a different direction this season, as we explore the strange phenomenon of failed US remakes of the 1975 BBC comedy Fawlty Towers. Watch here: Snavely: https://youtu.be/ACRE5llyano Amanda's: https://youtu.be/99S-Vbdgw-M Payne https://archive.org/details/payne-1999

It's the end of another season, and we have a mind-blowing revelation.

One more episode to go, and we just have to say, we're glad Ferris didn't kiss his sister in this one.

We're just… we're so sorry to have done this to you all.

We definitely tried to be as positive as possible about this episode about cops.

Cloris Leachman is a joy and a treasure and was simply too good for this show.

It's the multiverse, baby! In this one, we're all college basketball coaches, hanging with the most famous teen in the world.

We blow the entire lid off of the mascot industry with this one. Learn the real truth.

This episode benefited so much from an imagined off-screen character it might have been Jaws: The Revenge.

You'll never guess what happened when this 90's teen decided to throw a small party.

Just put the Spruce Goose in Top Gun, cowards.

Ferris Bueller is obviously a cult leader, and how have we only now figured this out?

Tangents! Get your tangents here! Fresh tangents, hot off the dome! Oh, also, Ferris is running a campaign for student body president or something.

Was Ferris Bueller always a psychopath and we just never noticed because Matthew Broderick was too white bread?

Time for season 3 of ADD! And boy, are we going in a different direction this season. Ferris Bueller, the TV show. It's just like the movie, except all of Matthew Broderick's charm has been replaced by existential questions about the nature of reality. Or, at least, they have if you're Dave.

For the second time, we're finishing a show's first and only season ready for a second. We're not prepared to say goodbye, Brisc, but it looks like it's time.

Brisco and the gang are in a real heap of trouble this week. Cuz folks, they dead.

Does it make any sense for this sci-fi Western to do an episode that's just straight-up Psycho? Of course not. Does that stop it from being fun and good? Also, obviously, of course not.

Try to find one difference between The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. and The Mandalorian. You can't do it. There is no difference.

Dave has some strong feelings about the portrayal of poker on TV. Diana, as usual, has some strong feelings about Dixie Cousins.

Dave keeps goofing up, but does have actual tracking skills. What ever happened to the ants of Pompeii?

If horses could choose to get tattoos, would they? Specifically, would Comet? Dave figures out something important about history books in this show's version of the future.

After a bit of a hiatus, we're back to send off John Bly in the best way we know how: through Dave overanalyzing the time travel logic.

Some very good accent work from ol' TGIF Arcade in this episode. Dave briefly forgets how frogs work.

After a couple of bonkers episodes, this one is just a very simple Outlaw of the Week. Nothing especially wild about it at all. Sure, it features a sheriff who is just Elvis Presley, but at this point, that's kinda run-of-the-mill.

Last week's episode was wild. This week's takes the concept of "wild," throws it on the ground, and kicks dirt in its face. We thought we had come up with ideas weirder than this show would ever consider. We. Were. Wrong.

Freakylinks had Desert Squid! Myth or Legend? The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. has Bounty Hunter Convention. That's all you need to know.

In an episode full of some of the Biggest, Weirdest Plot yet, we suppose that maybe… they didn't go big or weird enough.

Dave makes a big Cameo goof, but has important ideas about who in this show is potentially Batman.

How much do you know about refining gasoline? We don't know a lot, but we think we probably know slightly more than whoever wrote this episode.

This episode of the TV show had such a major lore drop that it knocked this episode of the podcast off the rails before we even had a chance to get on them.

In case you weren't sure if we think Dixie is the right fit for Brisco, this episode should clear up any confusion.

In an episode with a lot of amazing moments, the most important one is our new OTP, who we're sure will never come back. But we'll be lamenting her for at least 16 more episodes.

One of the first things Diana says in this episode is, "We won't go on any tangents." Then, we go on one of the greatest tangents in our podcasting history.

What truly is the Orb? Does it really make ghosts? Is it secretly Ziggy from Quantum Leap? What is reality? Why are some noses really squeaky? These are the true mysteries of our time.

We went a bit long and all over the place, but it's an episode about Wild West pirates! Would you want us to be subdued? You're in the wrong place. Also, Diana teaches how to do a perfect set of loon calls.

A real rebound from last week with a super fun episode and some top notch grifting. More time traveling writers who are listening to our show and brought back Ringo and Big Daddy Bowler. Also, Dave gives some incorrect information about hatchets.

Woof. This episode was a rough one, folks. We try to keep it positive, but it's tough because of how this episode is so bad. It's bad enough that Dave wasn't even that into Pete being in it!
