Nathan Hartswick and Annie Russell are re-watching, reviewing and ridiculing every episode of the hit show MacGyver (1985-1992). Each week, a comedian friend joins them to break down the episode, play dumb games, and get nostalgic about this ludicrous slice of television history.
Wait, wasn't this the week we were supposed to release the SEASON 3 FINALE of Duct Tape & Paperclips? Yes. Yes it was. But we have LIVES, people! By way of apology, let us offer you this BONUS episode, originally recorded during lockdown (when we had a Patreon and NO lives). In it, Nathan and Annie break down the 2006 Superbowl ad that brought MacGyver out of retirement. (Check out the ad here: https://youtu.be/V70bLAPevMc - and the "making of" featurette here: https://youtu.be/gYryLFfOa8k?t=30 ) And stay subscribed/alive, no matter what occurs! Season 3, episode 20 is coming, we promise!
OMG, is this the one where Nathan cancels himself? Annie and Nathan break down this episode of MacGyver with a frank discussion about male entitlement through the ages, Mac's favorite hobby of pouting in the woods, and what kind of poachers would risk their lives for a fast casual restaurant.

Bachelors taking care of a baby? What a concept! Where have we seen that before in the late 80s? Certainly no place other than MacGyver! This week, Annie and Nathan talk about cowardly counterfeiters, the sad fate of Jack Dalton's aircraft, and Kirk Cameron's porn addiction.

How many times can your best friend ruin a vacation you had planned before he's not your best friend anymore? And will MacGyver EVER be able to take that relaxing ski trip? This week, Nathan and Annie discuss this and other issues, such as: the 80s “magical Indian” trope, lending your sled dogs to a man you just met, and shooting the head off a moving snowman.

Hey quick question, can PTSD be triggered by racism? In MacGyver's world it can! Nathan and Annie discuss the mental health of a man named “Earthquake,” hot pink toxic sludge, and why MacGyver likes to yell at his best friends.

Ooooh, MacGyver has a GIRLFRIEND! Spoiler, it ends the way most relationships with him end: with her stalking him around a warehouse at night with a knife. Nathan and Annie dig into this campy, fun, dumb episode (aren't they all?), discussing Nikki's ugly new haircut, how to seduce an aw-shucks environmentalist, and Pete's first non-annoying appearance yet. Note: this was recorded during a heat wave, which nearly melted the hard drive the podcast is stored on, as well as the co-hosts who make it.

It's another backyard, face-to-face episode with Nathan and Annie — but this time, the MacGyver ep they're covering actually has things HAPPENING in it! We talk about ways to make Pete look competent (hint: put him in a room with Jack), how MacGyver always manages to convince bad women to turn good, and whether or not a houseboat appreciates in value. Plus we geek out over Hulu's The Bear for like 10 minutes. Click below to listen to Season 3, episode 14 of MacGyver: The Odd Triple!

Nathan and Annie are back in person, recording from Nathan's backyard! After a brief catchup and convo about what happens when a beer festival runs out of beer, Annie blows Nathan's tiny mind by revealing a key technology that made her viewing of this episode of MacGyver fundamentally different. Oh, and what an episode it is! (Is the sarcasm reading? This is VERY boring episode of television.) But hey, if you enjoy low-stakes hockey, a total lack of danger and intrigue, or seeing Richard Dean Anderson yell at kids while wearing a tie, episode 13 is lucky for you! We promise the podcast ep is better than the TV ep! Listen to Season 3, episode 13 of MacGyver: Thin Ice!

Nathan and Annie are joined by comedian, writer and all-around great guy Ahri Findling (MTV, Nickelodeon) to break down the slowest nuclear disaster episode in all of 80s television. Together they fantasize about adding a laugh track to MacGyver, speculate about the show's writing process, and talk about unrelated subjects such as Kevin Costner's only nude film scene, the exact release date of Lethal Weapon, and more.

Nathan and Annie talk about one of the strangest episodes of MacGyver ever made. In the process, Nathan manages to be entirely unaware of the irony inherent in his A) taking glee in killing actual insects in his own backyard, and B) being overly emotional about the death of a fictional dog in a TV show from 1987. Plus, they discuss what the makeup artists missed when they turned a beautiful soap star into a creature from the Blue Lagoon. Click below to listen to Season 3, episode 11 of MacGyver: Kill Zone!

Oh, no! Somebody wants to kill Nikki Carpenter, and it's not just the fans of MacGyver! (HEY-OOO.)

Is there a more perfect title than “Hell Week” for this episode? We start with 10 sparkling minutes of discussion about Annie's personal “Hell Week” (hint: it involves a recent rodent problem and you may want to skip to 11:00 if you're sensitive). Then we move on to talk about MacGyver's “Hell Week” (which is really more of a “Hell Week” for a bunch of genius college students than it is for MacGyver himself). We'll just say this: if you thought an episode about an overbearing father and a physics whiz wouldn't end with an accidental nuclear threat that only MacGyver can disarm, you don't know this show. We hope your week has been just heavenly! Click below to listen to Season 3, episode 9 of MacGyver: Hell Week!

Good news! MacGyver's BEST FRIEND (if you don't count Jack Dalton and at least 10 other people he has called his “best friend” in this show so far), is BACK! Bad news! She's played by a completely different actor AND she dies in the first 5 minutes! (Wah, wah.) This week, Annie and Nathan talk about the return of Murdoch, which brings with it: Freddy Krueger vibes, switchblades, flamethrowers, land mines, outdoor survival skills, home invasion, landlines, answering machines and Polaroids. Not to mention a kindly old man who owns a general store, ayut! It's Season 3, episode 8 of MacGyver: The Widowmaker! Check it out below!

Quick Q: if you had intel on the whereabouts of the secret fortune of D.B. Cooper — err, “B.B. Bartel,” how would you go about getting your hands on it? Would you, say, arrest a bunch of innocent people on trumped-up charges and force them to dig for the treasure under penalty of death? Damn straight you would. This week, Nathan and Annie are LIVE in the same room, talking about Pete saying smart things (!), Mac's codependency issues, and Jack getting beaten within an inch of his life.

Well, that didn't take long. One minute you're a competent female spy who can go toe-to-toe with MacGyver, and by the next episode you're a wet blanket for him to yell at. This week, Nathan and Annie talk about the dumbing down of Nikki, as well as what it takes to build a hot air balloon from scratch, 80s depictions of psychics, and repurposing B-roll from the highest-grossing movie of the previous year.

Remember that Russian lady who jumped into a helicopter and got shot in the back like 3 episodes ago? No you don't. Because the actress that portrays her is back, in an entirely new (and very American) role. So the producers would appreciate it if you'd like, forget all about MacGyver's Russian ex-fiancee from like 3 weeks ago. This week, Nathan and Annie tackle that little continuity issue and much more, including a guy who gets hit by a truck despite having plenty of time to get out of the road, how to asphyxiate someone when there's a giant hole in the wall, and MacGyver playing an undercover asshole.

Six years before The X-Files put “monsters in the Pacific Northwest” on the television map, our old pal MacGyver was chasing mystical beasts in Vancouver with a Russian runaway (Rushaway?).

Our pal, comedian SHANE TORRES (Comedy Central, Conan) is back to break down another episode of MacGyver centered around the least believable hitman that has ever existed. Shane bestows upon Pete a new and disparaging nickname, refuses to accept $2 from Nathan, and hips us to where we can see Nick Offerman's penis.

Did we say we were “taking a short break?” Okay, we meant we were taking a very LONG break. But we're BACK, baby! We absolutely couldn't stay away. Not when Richard Dean Anderson and crew were uprooting their entire show and moving it to Vancouver, CA. Not when the frosted mullet was finally hitting its prime. Not when our legions (read: several) of fans were clambering (read: politely inquiring) for a third season of DT&P! The format is changing a bit — episodes will be shorter and mostly just feature the dynamic duo of Nathan & Annie. Special guests will pop up from time to time, just to keep things interesting and fun. The complex scoring system has been winnowed down to a 30 second segment. MacGyver's got no fat on him in Season 3, so WHY SHOULD WE?
