It's hard to say goodbye so we're prolonging the pain with an extra episode! We speak German, climb tall buildings, break up 20 year marriages and commit vehicular homicide. It really is the end of My So-Called Life.
We were joking before, but now we really do have a Professor with us. It's Patrice Oppliger, PhD (for real this time) of Boston University and we are wrapping up season 5 of Single Season Record with this Krakow-friendly episode. So, so Krakow friendly. Why do you make it so easy to say goodbye, My So-Called Life?
'Tis the season to be reminded of how much we all love Rickie Vasquez. We're finally discussing the extremely emotional holiday episode of My So-Called Life, So-Called Angels!

Hulu can try, but My So-Called Life may prove unspoilable.
My So-Called Life moves into 1995 with a lot of self-improvement ideas it will never get the chance to follow through on. And not just because it only has a few episodes left.

You gotta keep your eye on the prize, whether that prize is a comet or a dumb idiot with soft hair.
Is it a lack of self-esteem that leads to us posting a second show dedicated to episode 12 of My So-Called Life? Or is it an abundance of it? Before Ashley Lyle cerated Yellowjackets, she watched My So-Called Life a million times and this is her favorite episode. So we mostly make her think about the score, which is the one thing about this show she's never thought twice about.
All Buffalo Tom wanted to do was gear up for their opening spot on the Lemonheads tour and now they will only be remembered for getting Jordan and Angela together. More importantly though: math tests.
What is love? (Brian don't hurt me.) It's a Brian Krakow takeover and Nate Runkel is here to work out some of his own stuff. Tipper Newton doesn't remember much but maybe that's just the brain protecting itself. Questionable music choices, terrible ADR and more Brian Krakow than anyone ever wanted in their lives. It's My So-Called Life Of Brian!
This episode drew the DeGrassi card and now we all believe in Tarot.
It's Halloween! And you can be anything you want to be and you chose disaffected ghost.
With third host Hilary Woodward back again you'd think we'd be able to stay on topic better. That topoc being Sharon's father and his heart, not Claire Daves v. Bob Iger and whether children shoulod even be allowed on television.
Carrie Gillogly, PhD, MSCL and television writer Richard Monahan join us this week to explore the inadequacies of the Pittsburgh school system and the general act of being annoying in the 90s.

Tread Perilously begins a month of Halloween episodes with a look at My So-Called Life's "Halloween." Although discouraged in her own mind to wear a costume at school, Angela Chase ends up dressed a teen from 1963 -- the same year Nicky Driscoll supposedly died while trying to hang something from the rafters in the gym. Inspired by the story, Rayanne Graff convinces everybody (and Tino) to meet up at the school and do some sort of prank in Driscoll's honor. But when Tino fails to appear, she, Angela, and Brian Krakow invade the school anyway. And once inside, Angela comes face-to-face with Nicky Driscoll. Justin wants to know more about Tino. Erik's dislike of Brian Krakow and Jordan Catalano re-emerges. He also admits to dating someone a lot like Rayanne Graff. Geography Corner centers on photogenic Los Angeles area high schools. Justin recognizes Lindsay Sloane in a small role. The pair also try to get back into 1990s speech patterns. Justin reveals an unlikely character as his favorite. Erik's habit of low-effort Halloween costumes comes up again. Justin tries to make sense of Brian Krakow. Both devise a new suburban thriller film for Claire Danes and the pushback against genuine emotions in the era gets examined or, like, something.

This week Val and Rachel sit down with our friend Nicole Restaino for an innovative new format: we'll be contrasting and comparing 90s TV show My So-Called Life with current HBO show Euphoria. Both shows depict teenagers with complexity and have passionate fan bases. We also finally break the one-hour mark, so hold onto your hats, dear listeners! My So-Called Life is an American teen drama television series created by Winnie Holzman and produced by Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz. It originally aired on ABC from August 25, 1994, to January 26, 1995. Set at the fictional Liberty High School in a fictional suburb near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania called Three Rivers, it follows the emotional travails of several teenagers in the social circle of main character Angela Chase, played by Claire Danes. The show was officially canceled on May 15, 1995, despite being critically praised for its portrayal of adolescence and the commentary of its central character, Angela, and for receiving several major awards nominations, including Danes winning the Golden Globe for her acting work on the series. Besides Danes, the show also launched the careers of several other major actors of her generation, including Jared Leto and Wilson Cruz. Euphoria is an American teen drama television series created and written by Sam Levinson for HBO. It is based on the Israeli television miniseries of the same name created by Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin. The series follows a group of high school students through their experiences of identity, trauma, drugs, family, friendships, love, and sex. The show is the second most watched show in HBO history, behind Game of Thrones, and it was just renewed for a 3rd season. My So-Called Life is available on Hulu, Euphoria is on HBO Max. Hot Topics: 1.) What is "America Online"? 2.) The Alicia Silverstone connection 3.) Unfair comparisons: prestige TV vs. network television, style vs. realism, dyeing your hair vs. doing fentanyl 4.) Overuse of music and the ensuing emotional manipulation 5.) Antiheros, moral ambiguity, and unreliable narrators 6.) Voiceovers and getting teenage dialogue right 7.) Focusing on the MSCL episode "Other People's Mothers": drugs, teenagers, and traditional vs. permissive parenting styles 8.) Very Special Episodes(TM) 9.) The crazy Rainbow-style fashion aesthetic of Euphoria 10.) Friend crushes and moral stances https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_So-Called_Life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphoria_(American_TV_series)
My So-Called Life was a television drama series created by Winnie Holzman that aired on ABC in the Fall of 1994. The 19 episode series followed the life of 15-year-old Angela Chase as she navigated family life, friends, and school. Claire Danes, Tom Irwin, Bess Armstrong, Jared Leto, and Wilson Cruz were just a few of the ensemble cast of this standout show.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
