Our Friends: The Anthology is the spinoff podcast of Our Friends Said They'd Listen (itself a spinoff of All in the Family by way of Checking in by way of The Jeffersons).* Anyway, we look at different TV shows 4 episodes at a time and try to convince each other to keep watching. *Our Friends Said They'd Listen is not actually a spinoff of any Norman Lear shows, we don't think.
Happy Halloween, everyone! Enjoy this accidentally perfectly timed Tales from the Crypt Episode.
We're back from the deeaaad with an extra spooky* Halloween episode! *We recorded in the dark. It was *actually* spooky.
Ron and David talk about the show Fernwood Tonight, and David expresses regret over not sticking with the "playing the piano upside down in an iron lung" lessons like his Mom wanted him to.
We talk about the pilot episode of Voyagers! (Voyagers? -- Voyagers.) So bad, it'll have you saying "Bats breath!"
We're back with another one-off episode for a British sitcom that only aired one episode: Heil Honey I'm Home! We speculate on the most likely reason(s) for its cancellation.
We are *very* happy to report we didn't save the best for last! We peaked early. But we recommend you check out our fourth and final Futurama episode anyways just for the sake of completion. We'll announce our next show soon!
We're not going to lie to you. Approximately half of this episode's discussion is about popcorn.
David and Ron talk about their favorite moments from this installment. It's like a shorter, audio only, not as good episode of Futurama. Listen now!
David opens up about some health issues and Ron hasn't seen much of The Simpsons. Revelations abound in our first Futurama episode!
Sam gets David to say "This show is genius." If that doesn't get you to listen, we're not sure what will. Join us for our fourth and final Clone Wars episode.
Sam breaks down intergalactic politics for David as the guys discuss The Clone Wars: Season 2, Episode 14.
We obtained a rare document ahead of our second Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode -- it's the actual Order 66 letter sent to the clone army: "Dear Clones, Mind killing all the Jedi? Thanks. Love, Darth Sidius/Senator Palpatine"
David explains the intricacies of Star Wars and its spin off show The Clone Wars to two total noobs. He starts with Season 3, Episode 1.
It's the last Wishbone episode. Ron is distraught and David is ... not. Hope we didn't spoil anything for you.
David & Ron talk about the best Wishbone episode yet, and vow always to give elderly librarians credit for their cataloging systems. *Always.*
In which David comes around on liking Wishbone. *Spoiler: David doesn't actually come around on liking Wishbone.
David and Ron watch a dog perform Romeo and Juliet opposite a human lady. Some questions arise, and certain lifelong dreams are fulfilled.
We were going to try and make the episode description funny in the vein of Police Squad, and then realized there was no way we were going to measure up. So watch Police Squad, and then listen to this episode. Thanks!
There's a special announcement within! (We're taking a short hiatus - just for this anthology show - and we'll be back in a couple of weeks)
Ron turns off the Bat Signal and David hangs up his cowl in the final Batman: The Animated Series episode.
Ron and David talk about the best Batman: The Animated Series episode yet - in what could very well be their best podcast episode yet. (Probably not. But we'll let you be the judge!)
David continues to espouse the virtues of Batman: The Animated Series to the surprise of no one. Ron is partially won over, and speculates on Gotham City's strawberry jam jarring facilities.
It's our first Batman: The Animated Series episode and David couldn't be happier! Because he picked the show. So that makes sense. Ron's fine with it. He may have even liked this episode a lot. Just don't tell David.
Ron bids a tearful farewell to the Whedonverse in the final Buffy-focused 'cast. But has David fallen in love with the vampires, or has he chosen to stake them through the heart? Listen and find out! (We really didn't think this symbolism through)
It's a big episode for Buffy and a big episode for David (He might even like this one).
In the second Buffy episode David and Ron talk. A lot. Unlike the inhabitants of Sunnydale in "Hush."
The guys kick off Buffy the Vampire slayer with an ... interesting ... episode from Season 3. Early signs point to David not exactly catching Buffy fever. Ron, meanwhile, has a regular fever.
David and Ron bid a tearful goodbye to The Twilight Zone with one of David's favorite episodes. Next up? Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 3, Episode 6: Band Candy!
Let's just say that not every Twilight Zone episode is a classic.
Ron likes an anthology episode more than David for once. That's pretty much all you need to hear, right?
Were you getting as bored of Amazing Stories as Ron was? Then you'll love our first Twilight Zone episode where we talk about Season One, Episode 27: "The Big Tall Wish."
In the last (for now) Amazing Stories episode Ron and David discuss their favorite episode yet (although by different degrees). Next week: The Twilight Zone! (Season 1, Episode 27 - The Big Tall Wish) - Streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime!
Is "Alamo Jobe" worth remembering? Find out within! (The answer's no. And the joke probably wasn't worth making either, come to think of it).
Just how terrible was Episode 2 of Amazing Stories? David and Ron discuss. And laugh at it. Mostly just laugh at it.
In the premiere episode David and Ron discuss the first episode of Amazing Stories: Ghost Train.
