Joe (a long-time SlideHard) and Ashley (a total newbie) watch every episode of the 90's SciFi hit Sliders, and then talk about it.
Ohhhh Hellooooo! Our SlideBuds+ *finally* catch up with Mr Steal-Your-Face! Joe and Ashley admire the amazing dinosaur CGI in the season 3 banger (?) DinoSlide.
In which Joe and Ashley cover Slither, the snake planet episode! Join for the quarterly catch-up, stay for the discussion on the wonderful special effects and production value. Happy Holidays from our studio to yours!
Welcome back to your favorite quarterly Sliders recap podcast! Catch up with Joe and Ashley as they discuss life and one of the potentially bottom-ranking episodes about the dangers of fog.
Ashley and Joe catch up from yet ANOTHER long break, and then talk about episode 20 of season 3, The Last of Eden. Come hear their thoughts on light sabers and jedis and how to avoid falling into the earth after an earthquake!
Joe and Ashley are back with a WILD one! Have you ever wondered what would happen if a tv show made an episode with forced organ donation but it was also sexy? Well, look no further than Season 3's The Breeder.
We get a zombie episode!! They're not as cute as the little Adipose creatures Whovians know and love, but Ashley and Joe talk about yet another "Read the fine print on your weight loss miracle" episode.
In the second half of the Exodus episodes, it all unravels for Mr Bad Guy. We lose one SlideBud, but gain another, and also gain a storyline to chase (or possibly abandon - what up Kromaggs??)
The strikes are over and Joe and Ashley are BACK to talk Sliders! In the first part of the two-part episode that should have been a finale, SlideBuds are caught up in yet ANOTHER world-ending scenario - but will this be the actual end for one of our favs?
Is it Tremors? Is it Dune? Is it Slidebuds with a giant worm?? It's definitely at least one of those things! Joe and Ashley discuss how our friends walk without rhythm and somehow don't mention fear being a mind killer ONCE.
We have EGYPT PLANET!! In the best episode of the season, if not the series thus far, we get to explore the modern San Francisco with pharaohs, pyramids, and genetically engineered scarab kaiju. Episode 14, Slide Like an Egyptian, has it all - including Dr Apollonia!
Ashley and Joe are BACK with the second half of season 3! We delve into our time off shenanigans, and then into episode 13 of season 3. In Murder Most Foul, we get to see how this planet deals with burnout - by LARPing!
If you thought Christmas was a consumer's dream on THIS world, check out this episode! In the aptly named Season's Greedings, we delve into what Santa's workshop would REALLY look like. With this being the holiday episode and the halfway point for the season, Joe and Ashley are going to take this opportunity to get caught up in their own end-of-the-year shenanigans, and will be back with more sarcastic leftist commentary on our favorite 90's sci-fi show next year!
One of the most truly sci-fi-y episodes yet! We've got ROBIT PLANET! Our SlideBuds have slid into a planet inhabited fully by robots and Freddy Krueger. Will it be a nightmare, or will we find out if androids do indeed dream of robotic sheep? One of us liked it a lot, one didn't. Guess which was which, and listen to find out if you're right!
If you think OUR legal system is a 3-ring circus, just WAIT! In Dead Man Sliding, which is NOT about Gimli, we get to glimpse into a world where court is primetime entertainment.
Talk about TIMELY: Sliders does it again with the relevant, timeless content! In Prince of Slides, we come across a planet where one of our SlideBuds is royalty - and gets VERY involved in a royal pregnancy.
Unintended anime crossover episode! Sliderbuds accidentally bring Calcifer, their new pet flame, with them from fire planet - into oil planet. A sentient flame, set loose on a WHOLE WORLD of flammable liquids and materials. No way this can go wrong!
I think Joe said it best when he called this one "The episode with a sorcerer trying to impregnate a girl with a demon so he can be immortal also dragon also hawk guy also Remmy loves Wade". See what else Ashley and Joe have to say about the best episode yet, DRAGONSLIDE!
In yet another crossover we didn't realize we needed, this episode (Desert Storm) is some kind of Mad Max/Sliders mash-up! Can the water witch wash away our misgivings about this one? Ashley and Joe talk about what's good and what's not, as they slide eternal, shiny and chrome!
After catching up on their month apart (warning: discussion of some Amsterdam activities in case you want to skip that part), Joe and Ashley cover Dream Masters! It's the Freddie Krueger/Stranger Things/Sliders crossover you never knew you wanted.Â
If you could save your childhood self from trauma, would you? And if you do, would it change who you are? SO MANY QUESTIONS as we discuss The Guardian, in which Sliders breaks itself and our SliderBuds accidentally time travel!
With yet ANOTHER banger, season 3 continues to not disappoint with Electric Tornado Acid Test! In an episode with cameos galore, Ashley and Joe discuss the differences between tornadoes and dust devils, and assign the simple folk some simple nicknames.
Ashley and Joe discuss possibly THE best episode thus far (according to Joe), Double Cross. Has Quinn finally met his match? Do we have another possibly recurring "villain" on our hands? Check out our longest episode yet and let us know what you think!
Episode 1 of season 3 takes our Sliderbuds to The Capitol for the Slider Games! Joe and Ashley recap this battle royale (with cheese), as we head into season 3 of the hit 90's sci-fi show Sliders!
Ashley and Joe are back for season 3, baybeeee! They talk multiverses, what they've been up to over the (much shorter) season break, and what realities on our timeline season 2 predicted. Season 3 episodes will be starting to show up shortly, so get reacquainted with your friends in the Sliders business!Â
This past year or 2 have proven that time is irrelevant, and this season 2 finale of Sliders, "As Time Goes By," REALLY leans into the chaos. Follow along (or try to) as Ashley and Joe attempt to figure out wtf is happening.Â
The episode we've all been waiting for - we meet the Kromaggs! The Sliderbuds crash a spaceship into a definitely-haunted carnival, and spend the rest of the episode wondering what's real, and experiencing slide-envy - as these new enemies can actually control their slides, and they want our Earth.Â
What if a world existed where you had to retire at 30, the young run everything, and Howard Stern was President of the United States? And is that Wade in a power suit?? Join Joe and Ashley as they follow the Sliderbuds into Youth Planet and discuss the proper way to check out a floating body should you happen across one.
What kind of world do you think Mel Torme would guest star in? Mobster planet, that's what! Ashley and Joe (respectfully - we don't wanna get whacked!) talk about what would happen if San Francisco was actually San Fremont Street.
"Why are you so obsessed with me, fake Christian Bale?" - Wade, probably. In this episode, Joe and Ashley jump into "Obsession" - where Wade is PROBABLY running a holo-novel that just got too real. Is it possible to psychically stalk someone from the multiverse, or is Mr Bond playing Wade like a universe-hopping fiddle? What WOULD a psychic planet be like? Tune in to hear all about how much Joe dislikes psychics and why!
It seems as though our SliderBuds are HOME! Who cares if the Golden Gate Bridge is blue? So what if the wrong people won the SuperBowl? Close enough, right? Or is it? SO MANY QUESTIONS! Ashley and Joe talk about how to say no to this, whether or not close is close enough to stay, and whether it's worth it to continue on and see what's behind vortex #2.
The only reason our Sliderbuds don't land in a street this episode is because there aren't any - we finally get DINO PLANET! What happens to the crew when they think they might lose one of their own (again)? And why isn't the ranger more helpful given her... condition? Pull up a boulder and take a trip through Jurassic Slide with us!
What would happen if J Edgar Hoover hadn't stopped at the FBI, and became President instead? In this episode, Ashley and Joe discuss the confusingly named episode, "Time Again and World", and confuse the Declaration of Independence with the US Constitution on multiple occasions.
In the Sliders episode "El Sid", we have the pleasure of encountering a pre-Negan Jeffrey Dean Morgan! Joe and Ashley discuss one of the best episodes of season 2 to this point, how many similarities it has to Demolition Man, and mix up blue collar and white collar prisons (oops!).
In this CONTROVERSIAL, a-house-divided episode, Ashley and Joe cover the Sliders episode "The Good, The Bad, and The Wealthy". What if the cowboy way was the corporate way? And is the title of this episode the best part? Tune in to find out!
We get the gritty reboot episode where the Sliderbuds lose one of their own! Fortunately, there ALSO happens to be a reluctant medium named Gillian (pronounced like "GIF") who can help our friends communicate through the veil. But will that be enough? How DO you pronounce her name? And, more importantly, how are the Phoenix Suns doing?
*CW: Due to the content in this episode, there are mentions of sexual assault* Have you ever wondered what would happen if Handmaid's Tale was reversed? Well, then this is the episode for you! Ashley and Joe share their thoughts on an episode where our sliderbuds land on an Earth where men are a hot breeding commodity, and quickly realize it's not all it's cracked up to be.Â
Ashley and Joe jump back in the Sliderverse with Wizard Planet! Did any of their predictions from last episode come true? Perhaps! Was this a complete homage to Wizard of Oz? Maybe! Do Ashley and Joe talk about Hamilton for the the first 10 minutes? 100% yes! Join us as we delve Into the Mystic with season 2 of Sliders.
After taking a year off for a lil pandemic, Joe and Ashley are BACK! This episode will catch you up on the hosts' lives for the past 13 months or so, and get you reintroduced and ready to jump back into the Sliderverse with them for season 2 starting May 14th! (Also, Ashley now remembers Jerry O'Connell plays #1 - you'll get there)
The season 1 finale is HERE! Our sliderbuds land on another one of those "too good to be true" worlds. In this one, you can take all the money you want for free - and the more you take, the more entries you get into the lottery to win MORE money! But is this lottery what it seems? Ashley and Joe discuss Luck of the Draw, and realize their brains have now melded into a single brain where they make the same jokes.
We finally get to a world where Crying Man has reached the level of fame he deserves - AND we get to see Professor Gimli throw a wicked punch! In the penultimate episode of season 1, the sliderbuds MIGHT be losing Remy - but not before Quinn is exposed to *actually* be Jim Morrison back from the dead.
It's here - our LONGEST EPISODE YET! What would happen if we had a matriarchy instead of a patriarchy?? And how will Professor Gimli STILL make it all about him? In this episode, Joe and Ashley review Season 1, Episode 7: "The Weaker Sex".
Our slider buds land on an earth where smart people are the new celebrities - and this reality's Quinn is basically Michael Jordan (y'know, if it were actually the 90's). Will our crew be able to stay out of the limelight long enough to jump, or will they obviously be at the center of everything including a potential mob hit? Better listen to find out!
In Summer of Love, our crew gets SPLIT UP! One attends their own funeral, one becomes a new age prophet, one flexes their high school football skills (poorly), and one becomes what they hate the most. Introducing Phonebooth Phyllis, who we all hope to never see again. Will hippies and squares EVER get along? Will our crew reunite before the window opens again?? Sit with us on the edge of your seat while we answer all these questions and more!
Who doesn't love some good royal family drama? In this episode, our crew slides into a world where Professor Gimli is *also* SHERIFF Professor Gimli of Knottingham. He's gunning for the throne with a tax rate that would choke a Democrat, and our crew responds by sticking to their new plan of "just be tourists" and leading a full-on Robin Hood revolution against the badge-crown. Will the rightful Prince be returned to the thrown? Will he have Wade as his Princess Diana? Listen and see, with two totally different senses!
What would you do if you knew in 2 days, a meteor would strike the earth and take out all life? Throw a party, or hide and cry? Our sliders are faced with this dilemma when they accidentally slide into a doomsday scenario. Also, guess who knows how to make an atomic bomb off the top of their heads?? Joe and Ashley discuss all that and more, including why you should never trust a hippie, in this episode of Catch You on the Flipslide!
Our Sliders have accidentally landed themselves on FEVER PLANET! Joe and Ashley discuss what it would be like living in a world where the government doesn't make healthcare accessible to the poor. Who will save the day? And will it be with SCIENCE??
Second half of the pilot is here! Turns out our heroes did NOT make it home. Arrests are made, phone companies are shaking folks down, and Alaska gets a Gulag. Hear Joe and Ashley's thoughts on what it would be like if Russia had won a world war at some point.
Joe and Ashley cover the first half of the pilot episode. How many Stargate actors can Ashley point out? What's Joe's vision for a gritty Sliders reboot? Listen to find out!
Meet your hosts! Joe and Ashley talk about who they are, what they want to do with the podcast, then get into what they're watching currently (since it's not Sliders yet). Episode 1 coming in 2020!
