September 10-16, 1966 This week Ken welcomes singer/songwriter/Dramarama frontman and fellow TV addict John Easdale to the show.

Patrick chose this one to encourage us to take a look at one of the most divisive episodes that changed the course of The Simpsons from this point forward. When Seymour Skinner is outed as a fraud how will the Town react? We also go to bat for the episode and don't understand all the hate that is thrown it's way. We also discuss:- Don Johnson confusion- A plea to any and all Joshua Jacksons- Does Beverine actually exist- Animal abuse in television shows- A Lancelot Link Secret Chimp streak- Flipper content - How do you cool your pies- Who is the real Seymour Skinner- Redeeming this episode as well as SkinnerOur RecommendationsPatrick: The One Song podcastBryan: SNL Documentaries on Peacock, the Cobra Kai Finale & Cailin's debut album TyrantsCori: Death in Entertainment PodcastWant to reach out to us here's how you can do it:Email: soitscometothispod@gmail.comInstagram: @soitscometothis_podFacebook: @soitscome2thisWeb: radpantheon.com
Welcome to Bottle Episodes! The show where Daniel Crow and David Piccolomini watch the best of terrible television! This week we take on Jan idea so crazy it could only happen in the 70s. Lancelot Link Secret Chimp! Written by two former Carol Burnett writers who went all in on apes only to have that end in complete disaster. Full of awkward comedy, convoluted story, and a bunch of racist characters! It's wild ride, lets get on it!

In this episode we see Homer go on a wild ride from saying some rather upsetting things about his family to rocking out with a bunch of rock and roll legends, which ultimately ends in a riot. Would you expect anything less from the citizens of Springfield? The Budnik-Scarupa family also discusses their non existent Patreon levels and a HUGE announcement about everyone's favorite show, Manifest. They also debate whether or not Nick Jonas is a rock star and how to determine the difference between average and slightly above average. And who could forget yet another timely reference as Cori goes on a rant about Lancelot Link Secret Chimp. We bet you'll be singing the theme song when we're through. So did this episode really happen or is it all part of Homer's drunken hallucination? Either way, you should come along for the ride, because it may only be rock and roll but we like it! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
It's Django Nudo and Snot Peddler this week, as Smutty battles a non-Covid cold. Exciting Cultpix events in Stockholm around this weekend. First there is the book launch today (27 August) in Stockholm of "Frigjorda Tider", the book that blows the lid on sex and pornogrpahy in Sweden during the 1960s and 1970s. Yes, Sweden had a 'sexy' reputation, but in some way it went much further than anyone suspected. This book uncovers those sins. Then on Monday 30 August we kick off the inaugural double bill screening at Bio Aspen, with "Christina - Swedish Nymph" (1972) and "The Lustful Vicar" (1970), both of them beautifully restored by the Swedish Film Institute and shown for the first time in this way on the big screen. But if you don't live in Stockholm, fear not, we will be bringing these films to cinemas in other cities and other countries too. We review the crop of new films, including slasher-with-cool-score "Fatal Games" (1984), Texan time travel indie "The Yesterday Machine" (1965), Ida Lupino's noir masterpiece "The Hitch-Hiker " (1953), and the strange Lynchian-Tetsuo Swedish horror short "Spik-bebis" (1987).The big topic this week is secret agent comedy TV show "Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp" (1971). It is James Bond/Man from U.N.C.L.E./Get Smart/Mission Impossible crossed with The Monkees, with all parts played by chimps and dubbed by humans. We discussed how this amazing piece of television history ever got made, who composed the music how it could come back today and play lots of clips from the great soundtrack with the Evolution Revolution band and the secret agent playlist. Suaver than Daniel Craig, funnier than Roger Moore, hairier than Sean Connery, you will not want to miss the adventures of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.
ROAR! It's animal week. Today we tackle animal-related movies and shows, namely the early 70's TV show Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp and the 1990 horror film Shakma.Have some thoughts?

The year was 1970, and one of the most expensive television shows in the world was LANCELOT LINK: SECRET CHIMP, a spy spoof for children, starring real chimpanzees as secret agents and their offensively stereotyped roster of villains! Who the heck was this show made for? Why the heck is it so bad? Is it really the worst live-action tv series we've ever reviewed? And was it... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. This is a collection of highlights from shows forty three to forty eight, featuring Paul Abbott on The Compleat Beatles, Anna Cale on Wendy Cracked A Walnut, Jim Sangster on The Ballad Of Lady Di by The Hon. Nick Jones and Ian Macrae, Melanie Williams on Rimmel Coffee Shimmer, Pete Prodge on The Evil Horde, Chris Hughes on The British Banknote Keyring, and Tim Worthington, Vikki Gregorich, Garreth F. Hirons and Jeff Lewis playing the Telly Addicts DVD game.

Plus there's something you may not have heard before - Tim, Jeff, Vikki and Garreth attempting to play Tom Baker's Ultimate Sci-Fi Quiz...

We can’t monkey unsee this monkey doo doo! This week Morgan forced Mike to watch an absurdly dumb show with an entirely chimpanzee cast! Apparently the bizarro 1970 spy comedy, “Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp” was actually a real thing that existed and was on TV, and it is every bit as strange as it sounds. From Breakfast Spaghetti, to pretending to know about British TV shows, to "Stunt Munks" and Pizza flavored Mad Libs, this episode is more fun than a double barrel of monkeys straight to the funny bone! You could say this show was a real banana in our tailpipes!

Join Scott and Steve as they take a look back at a very peculiar Saturday morning live-action kids show, the 70s chimpanzee spy comedy "Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp"! Listen as they break down the two stories "Lance of Arabia" and "The Doctor goes A.P.E.". They'll discuss many crazy behind the scenes details about the show, revealed by its Emmy winning (not for this) creators Stan Burns and Mike Marmer in the great documentary short "I Created Lancelot Link". From television innovations and million dollar budgets to castrations and maulings, this show truly had it all. They'll also talk about the struggles the show had with the main chimp actors, Torgo and Debbie, including ordering custom clothing and shoes, and teaching them how behave like humans as voice actors ad-libbed over them. There's plenty of old jokes, terrible stereotypes, tired sequences, chimpanzees playing instruments and gruesome tales of primate revenge. And, oh yeah, if that wasn't enough, a hawk rides a chimp, riding a camel! Crazy. So have a banana, and listen to us laugh at one of the strangest shows in television history.
