"Sometimes on the wind, I feel something say my name, telling me to come to some far-off place."This week The Wives Colangelo are going back to the 1970s, heading into the Appalachian hills, and joining their friend Sam Pancake on a journey WHERE THE LILIES BLOOM. Together the trio discuss coming-of-age in rural communities, Hollywood's failure to accurately depict Appalachia, the parentification of young children properly, and why we all love Harry Dean Stanton. ----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----Follow our guest! @TheSamPancakeSam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie: https://www.patreon.com/mondayafternoonmovie----MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTThe Buckeye Flame! https://thebuckeyeflame.com/----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"A Muggy Day in Central Park" (November 14, 1968) A contemporary of Bewitched, That Girl aimed for a more sophisticated audience than most sitcoms of its era. Not only does it look more cinematic, in a way that sitcoms generally wouldn't until the 2000s, but it's also more clearly a feminist show, where Marlo Thomas plays a woman braving big city life on her own. This episode does that tired thing where gay men, cross-dressers, trans woman and drag queens are conflated down to a single thing, but it's nonetheless interesting to see how a progressive show handles queer things fairly explicitly in the 1960s. Listen to the Monday Afternoon Movie episode about the Ted Bessell thriller Scream, Pretty Peggy.

“The Joker Is a Card” (October 14, 1965) Nearly two hundred episodes later, we're finally returning to Bewitched to give Uncle Arthur a proper introduction. And while he's a big part of Bewitched's gay fandom, Paul Lynde brings a lot of baggage to the role that taught Americans to laugh at eccentric gay weirdos everywhere. This episode featured a lot of references to previous episodes, so here are all of those, for your listening pleasure: The previous GEE about Bewitched (but honestly this new episode is better) Our episode about I Dream of Jeannie Our episode about The Addams Family, which deals with similar themes of ethnicity/culture erasure The GEE/Monday Afternoon Movie crossover episode about the Paul Lynde Halloween Special The Monday Afternoon Movie episode about The Legend of Lizzie Borden, which starred Elizabeth Montgomery and Katherine Helmond And finally the Monday Afternoon Movie episode about the Star Wars Holiday Special, with special guest Bruce Villance Finally, the Hollywood Squares zingers all come from this YouTube compilation.

“Wild Child” (February 4, 1988) Officially, A Different World never did a gay episode and there were no queer students at Hillman. Nestled in the middle of the Bonet/Tomei season, however, is an interesting episode about a girl named Cougar, who happens to be easily read as a lesbian and interact in interesting ways with both Denise and Whitley. Entertainment journalist Stacey Yvonne joins us to discuss this episode and why A Different World still matters in 2024. You can watch this episode of A Different World on our Vimeo. Listen to Stacey's appearances on Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie discussing the made-for-TV horror films The Possessed and The Strange and Deadly Occurence.

“Blank Relay” (August 13, 2000) Honestly, we could have picked just about any episode of Strangers With Candy to focus on for this podcast about queer themes, but we ended up deciding on the one where we see Jerri Blank at her most girl hungry. It's light on Mr. Noblet and Mr. Jellineck, but we can always circle back to this one in another two hundred episodes, right? Watch the Exit 57 “Down in the Basement” sketch, which does not translate especially well to an audio-only format. Watch The Trip Back, the 1970 PSA featuring Florrie Fisher, the real-life inspiration for Jerri Blank. Listen to the two-part Rasputin episode of the Unexplained podcast. And we dropped a whole hell of a lot of Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie episodes. Here are all of them: Angel Dusted with Gedde Watanabe (the one where Helen Hunt doesn't jump through a window) Desperate Lives with Arden Myrin (the one where she *does* jump through a window) It Happened One Christmas with Sarah Thyre The Cat Creature with Becky Thyre And finally Crowhaven Farm and A Vacation in Hell, both with Rose Abdoo

“Joey's First Crush” (January 28, 1987) Few other shows changed as much as Gimme a Break, which began as a fish-out-of-water sitcom that had Nell Carter playing mom to three white girls in California but ended up with Nell and her best friend, Telma Hopkins' Addy, co-parenting two white boys in New York. Minus the kids, it's basically a female-female twist on Perfect Strangers, only they don't get steady boyfriends. Perhaps in an effort to make the show seem less gay, they tossed in a happily married character… who was played by newcomer Rosie O'Donnell. This episode, which is the second of Gimme a Break's outings to feature actual gay characters, showcases a lot of how this show ended up pretty damn gay. … Now that I think about it, maybe the only sitcom that changed as much over its run was Ellen — and that's pretty notable, right? Listen to our previous Gimme a Break episodes. Learn all about Betty and Barney Hill in the Monday Afternoon Movie episode about 1975's The UFO Incident.

This week Bryan and Dave are joined by actor, comedian, and made-for-tv movie expert, Sam Pancake to talk about Dan Curtis (of Dark Shadows fame) and his 1976 gothic melodrama, Burnt Offerings. We cover the movie, of course, hear a nice tale of how pleasant and sweet Karen Black was, much to our delight, and hear a second-hand tale about Oliver Reed's tattooed penis.

“The Perils of Punky” (October 20, 1985) This might be the most famous weird episode of any TV show ever, and with good reason: it is utterly inexplicable how this parade of horrors came to be. It would be weird for any sitcom to deliberately scare its viewers, much less a show that catered specifically to kids. Wait, is the shared trauma of this Punky Brewster the reason why millennials can't stop talking about old TV? No, really — is this why??? This is an episode of our Patreon bonus podcast Weirdest Episode Ever. Listen to the rest of those episodes on Patreon or now also on Apple Podcasts!

“The Child-Stealers” (January 24, 1980) A hundred episodes and one pandemic later, we're finally returning to the least offensive police precinct in TV history. This sixth-season episode sees the return of Marty and Daryl, the recurring homos at the center of the previous Barney Miller we covered. What results is an interesting look at how police are able and sometimes unable to intervene with homophobia keeps a parent from seeing their child. Listen to our previous Barney Miller episode.

A heads up: This episode discusses sexual assault in the context of it being something that would get referenced in mid-2000s shows as a marker of being “edgy.” Also, there is a discussion of anal probing in the context of alien abduction, not to be funny but to try and understand why this is a concept that shows up on sitcoms.  “Roger 'n‘ Me” (April 23, 2006) As a follow-up to last week's Great Gazoo episode, we return to American Dad to try to explain why Roger the alien is such a successful character and, really, a likely reason why American Dad show succeeds. This is an early episode exploring Roger's relationship with Stan. And while the show suffers from being more like Family Guy than it would be even a year later, there is surprisingly nuance to the way the show deals with these two sharing what amounts to a sexual experience. Listen to our previous episode on American Dad. Listen to the episode of Monday Afternoon Movie about The UFO Incident, with special guest Scott Philbrook from Astonishing Legends.

Content warning: In discussing plotlines on Soap, we do bring up suicide and, very briefly, sexual assault. "Episode 4.1" (November 12, 1980) * Finally! It's one of the biggest cult favorite sitcoms of all time *and* it's also a show famous for having a LGBT character in the main cast. The only reason it's taken us this many years to tackle Soap is that it's so much more serialized than mostly anything else we cover, so while we focus on one particular episode, we're also discussing the entirety of Billy Crystal's gay character, Jodie Dallas. Good thing we have longtime Soap fan and TableCakes' Katherine Helmond correspondent Gwynedd Stuart on hand to discuss the show in general and the awesomeness of Jessica Tate in particular.

“Jonathan the Gymnast” (November 18, 1986) Technically, Who's the Boss? never did a gay episode, but because Danny Pintauro's sexuality looms large over this sitcom, many episodes seem a little gayer as a result — and this episode especially so. In it, Tony and Angela step into the kitchen to have a frank discussion of why Jonathan is not like other boys, and it really comes off like Who's the Boss? is asking viewers to overlook this aspect of the character. It's fucked up that this happened, and it's one of several occurrences that make Drew utter the phrase “Poor Jonathan.” Check out our sponsor, Spaces!

“Betrayal” (September 13, 1989) You might classify Just the Ten of Us with rest of the TGIF also-rans, but trust us: this show was better — funnier, edgier and with two actual, explicit gay jokes that ran on the same night as Urkel, to say nothing of the fact that its four sexy teenage daughters gave little gay boys a favorite no matter what kind of diva they'd end up worshipping. Frankie Frascatore joins us to talk about the Nightmare on Elm Street connection, the WandaVision connection, how this one particular outing almost becomes a gay episode and why it's maybe notable that a show about a Catholic family punishes the most religious child for being a judgmental scold. Listen to Frankie's episode of Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie.

“Indispensable Jeannie” (November 25, 1968) We're as surprised as anyone that we've found an episode of I Dream of Jeannie that we can cover on this podcast. All credit goes to Brett White, who's not only host of the Must Have Seen TV podcast but also the guy currently writing a book on the life of Hayden Rorke, who played Dr. Bellows on Jeannie but also was openly gay to the show's cast and crew — and who pulled some important strings in TV history. This episode is even more interesting when considered in the context of Rorke's life, but it does actually feature a real live gay joke.

Barbara Eden stars in this 1974 ABC Movie of the Week, which puts a sci-fi twist on the “Help! There's something in my womb!”-subgenre of horror flick made in the style of Rosemary's Baby.

“The Love Lesson” (Jan. 22, 1980) Heads up: The gender politics in this one are all fucked up, and a lie results in a character getting misgendered in a way that won't be funny to every listener. However, it's not the whole of the episode. When Mr. Furley catches Jack necking with a woman, Jack lies and says this woman is actually a man.

The ABC Movie of the Week for the week of October 30, 1974, DEATH CRUISE delivers exactly what that title promises: death, several times over, happening specifically on a cruise ship. The film stars patron saint of this podcast, Kate Jackson, alongside Richard Long, Tom Bosley and Polly Bergen, and on hand to discuss it is actress Natalie Lander — a delight in her own right but also the granddaughter of one of the actors playing these unlucky cruisegoers.

“Out With Dad” (February 10, 2000) It's been far too long since we did a Frasier episode, and so we're returning with a good one, in which Martin (John Mahoney) plays gay and pretends that Niles (David Hyde Pierce) is his boyfriend. It's a great farce, and as special guest Anthony Oliveira points out, it's one of the best Joe Keenan-penned episodes of the show. Beyond Sunset is live! Buy issue one here!

“Quest for He-Man” (October 5, 1983) A thousand gay nerds debating on a thousand twitter threads could come up with any number of candidates for the gayest episode ever of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, but the one we're talking about with Talking Simpsons co-host Henry Gilbert is the one where our hero travels through a swirling rainbow hole to an alternate dimension ruled by a gay-seeming bunny-man who loads a phallic rocket full of his precious, life-giving fluid, and no, we're not making any of that up.

“Chick Like Me” (January 31, 1997) Rider Strong's Shawn Hunter is not canonically a trans character, but there is a season-four episode of Boy Meets World that gives you all the evidence you'd need to conclude that Shawn might be.

“Pilot” (February 28, 2001) In the wake of Will & Grace’s success, the other broadcast networks each made efforts at their own homo-centric TV shows, and the CBS twist on this formula was Some of My Best Friends, which lasted only five episodes. The show was an adaptation of the indie comedy Kiss Me Guido, and it starred Jason Bateman and Alec Mapa as its resident gays. Guy Branum — stand-up comedian, funny book-writing person and all-around good opinion-haver — joins us to talk about this pop culture also-ran, twenty years after the fact.

“Spell It M-A-N” (January 6, 1993) You might be surprised to learn that Doogie Howser M.D. only lasted four seasons and 97 episodes, but perhaps because Neil Patrick Harris has continued to be famous ever since, the show casts a lot longer of a shadow than it might otherwise. This fourth-season episode deals with Vinnie (Max Casella) being horrified to learn that his college roommate is gay, and because NPH is himself an out gay man, it plays out a lot different today. All this plus a special appearance by Teen Witch herself, Robyn Lively! Listen to the episode of Smart Mouth explains the history of Pocky to food writer Tien Nguyen. Listen to Monday Afternoon Movie’s special tribute to the late, great Cloris Leachman. Listen to Drew’s 80s music podcast and its new episode about South African synthop.

“Ladies’ Choice” (November 10, 1992) Ninety episodes later, we dared to venture back to Roseanne. How does its legacy of LGBT advocacy hold up all these years later — and in light of the show’s namesake’s hard right turn into all manner of Trumpy badness? Glen and Drew have their takes, but that ultimate decision is up to you. However, this episode represents a milestone in representation as it makes Sandra Bernhard’s Nancy a queer part of the show for seasons to come. Listen to our previous episode about Roseanne. Listen to Roseanne writer Stan Zimmerman share his stories about Sandra Bernhard in our interview with him.

Sure, Washington was our founding father, Lincoln ended slavery, FDR got us through the depression, Reagan stared down the Russians, Obama created healthcare for all and Trump tried to overthrow the government with slow witted white people. That might be what they're known for, but tonight, we'll explore and debate their most overlooked attribute, their sexiness. Then we play a new Presidential Movie quiz. We are then joined by actor and comedian Sam Pancake, who is currently on ABC's A Million Little Things, Peacock's Saved By the Bell reboot and HBO Max's Equal. We talk about his work and his crazy funny podcast Monday Afternoon Movie. We close the show trying to pick our best celebrity Presidential ticket. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tmihollywood/support

Sam Pancake's gripping exploration of the non-theatrical Stepford Wives movies concludes with a very Lifetime original movie-style take starring Donna Mills and Michael Ontkean. And the very funny Greta Titleman is on hand to discuss whether the gender-flipped plot justifies this 1996 film's existence.

“Out of the Closet” (November 1, 1976) Rest in Peace, Cloris Leachman. She leaves behind a legacy that includes such sitcom greats as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Facts of Life, The Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle and Raising Hope, as well as a great body of other acting work. For two seasons, she also starred in a spinoff to Mary Tyler Moore that had Phyllis Lindstrom starting over in San Francisco.

We’re back — if not for a full-sized serving of Monday Afternoon Movie, then at least for a mini-season to kick off the new year. Sam Pancake is diving into the Stepford sequels, the TV-only continuations of the 1972 theatrical release The Stepford Wives. And here to discuss the first one — 1980’s REVENGE OF THE STEPFORD WIVES, starring Sharon Gless — is Naomi Ekperigin, making her triumphant return to the show.

Sam brings 2020 to a close with a decidedly less scary selection: 1977’s IT HAPPENED ONE CHRISTMAS, which had Marlo Thomas playing the lead in a gender-flipped remake of It’s a Wonderful Life, centered on Mary Bailey as the one who needs to be shown what a difference she makes in the lives of her loved ones.

Season’s greetings, Succotashians! I’m your every-other-weekly co-host Marc Hershon and I know it’s a little early to be making with the Christmas cheer but this is likely the last time I’ll be speaking to you until after Christmas and New Year’s – my fellow co-host Tyson Saner and I will be taking a little holiday break after next week – so I figured I better make with the Yuletide wishes while I can. Speaking of Mr. Saner, if you missed his most recent installment, that would be Succotash Shut-In, Episode 232, featuring clips from comedy soundcasts Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie, Puppet Tears: Puppetry Shop Talk, and Good For You. It’s not to late to enjoy it: It’s available from our homesite, SuccotashShow.com, as well as Google and Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Stitcher, Laughable, and even on YouTube. Normally I’d haul in a Santa’s sack full of season snippets for you on a show this close to Ex-mas but I’m unwrapping something different for you. If our normal fare is like a Whitman’s Sampler of soundcasts, then this is more like a Harry & David’s delivery – it’s a fresh chat! So fresh that, until I recorded this episode’s conversation with our guest last week, she and I had never met or even spoken before, even though we’ve been working together for the past couple of years. Becca James is my guest this episode. She’s a freelance writer who has a major focus on soundcasts – or “podcasts” as she still refers to them (and I will be, too, during this interview but just to make her feel comfortable.) She and I are fellow soundcasts reviewers for This Week in Comedy Podcasts (there’s that word again!) over on Vulture.com. She does a lot more written coverage than I, and she writes about comedy, and music, and a variety of subjects. She was a writer then editor at the AV Club a while back. And we cover how she got into it, what she likes about the gig, and we’ll talk about why she’s never seriously considered starting up her own soundcast. Another big thank you to YOU for dropping by, popping us in your earholes, and enjoying the show. At least, I hope you enjoyed the show. If that’s true, then keep the good feelings going all the way over to Apple Podcasts and give us a pile o’ stars and a tasty little review. Even a couple of lines will do nicely, thanks. I’ll get out of here with a reminder that Tyson will be here next week with Epi234, then we’re off for a few weeks until after the New Year and I will return with Epi325 on Tuesday, January 16th, of 2021. Until then, I want to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season, with a reminder to stay safe, socially distance, wash your hands and – until you get that Coronavirus vaccine in you, stop touching people! And you don’t have to touch them to give them the gift of cheer this year, which is to simply pass the Succotash! ‑ Marc Hershon

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner. Welcome to the soundcast known as Succotash Shut-In: The Soundcast Stimulus Package. It's Season 4, Episode 232, and I've got some clips for you from three soundcasts I've been listening to recently, namely Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie, Puppet Tears: Puppetry Shop Talk, and Good For You with Whitney Cummings. There's also going to be a reading from "TrumPoetry.com" and a spot from our other original fake sponsor Henderson's Pants and their brand new Holiday Pants. By the way, Epi231 featured bloopers from 5 soundcasts which were Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, A Paranormal Chicks, Roll Out!, Who Back When, and Voyage to the Stars. It was a very entertaining episode hosted by Marc Hershon with whom I alternate hosting duties with weekly. You can find it in the same place you found this soundcast or any of the other options available for soundcast listening including, but not limited to: Apple or Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, iHeart Radio, the Laughable app, etc. There's also the homesite at www.succotashshow.com or at succotash.libsyn.com where you can find all the shows dating back to 2011. As I'm recording this, it's early December of 2020, a year that has been possibly the worst year in recent memory since…like 2016? That was pretty bad. 2014 wasn't great either come to think of it. And 2012 everybody was talking about the "end of the world…" Actually, I remember 2012 having some bright spots. It's the year I met Ethan Dettenmaier of Combat Radio and, as a result, I met many other guests of Combat Radio including Marc Hershon who was at that time the host of a show called Succotash, The Comedy Podcast Podcast, which subsequently became Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast and then, eventually, Succotash Shut-In which you are listening to now. I also met Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness of Chillpak Hollywood Hour of whom this program has featured clips and with whom this show and many of it' contributors have collaborated with over the years. In fact I took part in a 28-hour "Mayan Marathon" that Chillpak held live on the internet counting down the hours until the impending apocalypse. I remember taking photos in realtime as a way to commemorate the occasion… if there was, in fact, a world after said apocalypse where my iPad 2 had both survived intact but also had a charge…That was a really good time… 2012 was also the year I met Hunter Block on Twitter. We became friends and, as of October of 2016, co-hosts of a soundcast called Anti Social Show which is still releasing episodes as time moves steadily on. So, there are a couple of bright spots from 2012 and 2016… I guess what I'm getting at is that all years have their bright spots in some way or another for someone or another and it is important to remember that when things get really dark. In 2020 I got to spend most of my time with a special little guy named Jareth as he entered his toddler stage. I consider these recent memories to be of truly the happiest moments I have ever had in this life that I've had so far. I don't think I could be more grateful for these bright spots than I am…but I can always try. Anyway, thank you for listening…or reading if this is the episode blog. CLIPS Puppet Tears: Puppetry Shop Talk The soundcast Puppet Tears feature hosts Adam Kreutinger and Cameron Garrity having in-depth interviews with the world's most passionate puppeteers. On March 27th of last year - 2019 or "Pre-pandemic as it's become known - Ryan Dillon stopped by for a jam-packed episode of the show. OUr featured clip is from their chat with this Muppet performer on Sesame Street, perhaps best known for performing Elmo since 2013. Good For You Comedian Whitney Cummings interviews guests (friends, comics, celebs, experts, weirdos) every week. Known for her standup comedy specials for HBO and Netflix, Comedy Central Roasts, multiple television series and films, Whitney has a lot of questions for a lot of different kinds of people. She also has opinions. And a robot. Epi57 from November of this year featured guest Meghan Tainor and, in our featured clip she and WHitney strained to remember Milli Vanilli and whatever became of them…with varying degrees of accuracy. Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon MovieActor/comedian Sam Pancake sits down with friends famous and funny to discuss the surreal, silly and nonetheless star-studded made-for-TV movies of the 1970s. It's a loving look at baffling not-quite-feature-length flicks that often aren't on DVD and have largely been lost to time. IN November of last month Sam welcomed comedian Dave Holmes on to talk about The Night Stalker - not th eTV series but teh 1972 TV movie that served as the pilot for the show starring Darren McGavin which was to follow. It influenced generations of subsequent paranormal-themed TV shows, but does it hold up today? Not so much, says Holmes, who objects to this take on vampire horror being so decidedly unsexy and overstuffed with middle-aged white dudes. And here we are again, together at the end of the show…wondering what the future will bring. Well, there are more soundcasts out there to listen to and share with you for one thing. If all goes well, COVID-19 will be eradicated, or at the very least manageable, treatable, preventable…rather than what it seems to be which is "inevitable". It is the Xmas season right now as anyone with an active radio can't avoid noticing…So many holiday tunes out there. Many people don't know this but I actually wrote a Christmas song called "For Christmas" waaaay back in 2014 for a charity Christmas album. It has lyrics but so far only the instrumental has been produced and distributed. It's a long story as to why the lyrics were never recorded… mostly having to do with technical limitations on the part of the producer… er, me. …Well, I guess that isn't really a long story per se. Anyway, the song is still available in the form it currently exists in, and I'll provide a link: https://www.amazon.com/For-Christmas/dp/B00PJUHQJE  I do think it is about time I recorded a version with words… but then everything is about time, isn't it?…ok, maybe not everything. You can also check out the show archive at SuccotashShow.com to find all the episodes throughout the years, presenting what HAS to be around a thousand different soundcasts from various places around the world and the internet as we know (or knew) it. Maybe YOU are in the archive… maybe you will be someday? Who knows? In the meantime we can always use your help in the form of rating and reviewing the show… and also sharing the show. Because sharing is caring… unles it's COVID-19, DON'T SHARE THAT!!…But, sharing US is what we mean when we gently ask: Won't you please…Pass The Succotash? — Tyson Saner

What’s scarier than an undead scarecrow avenging murder? Well, the Deep South, for one.

Celebrate Halloween two days late not with the TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker but the 1972 TV movie that first introduced Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak.

Afternooners, have we got a whopper for you. Not only do you get to hear a frank and incisive discussion of the 1981 made-for-TV horror movie THIS HOUSE POSSESSED but also Sam’s comrade in commentary for this season finale is My Favorite Murder co-host Karen Kilgariff. They. Go. Into it. They actually went so into it that we decided to break up this episode into two parts, because doctors said one super-episode would be too much for you all. Enjoy!

”The Boys in the Bar“ (January 27, 1983) If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a bit, you may be aware of the fact that Glen refuses to listen to it. Drew thinks this is too bad, because this really seems like the kind of podcast Glen would really enjoy. In celebration of Glen’s birthday month, Drew asked Sam Pancake and Tony Rodriguez to do a reading of one of the best episodes we’ve done: Episode 10, “Diane Chambers Is an LGBT Ally,” based on the Cheers episode “The Boys in the Bar,,” Drew’s only real instruction to Sam and Tony was “go nuts with it,” so this special episode will be weird as hell.  In case you want to listen to the original episode, do that here.

This 1975 thriller capitalizes on the decade’s rampant Bermuda Triangle craze and then amps it all up with some supernatural horror. Will Kim Novak make it out alive? Why do all of her outfits look so cute? Do you think she signed onto this because she’s literally the only woman in the entire movie?

“Boys II Men II Women” (December 4, 1995) Twenty-five ago, long before he’d become a media mogul and the face of an international franchise, Rupaul made 1995 his most mainstream year yet. Not only did he have his mainstream debut in The Brady Bunch movie, but he also did one-off guest roles in a number of network sitcoms. But only In the House had him playing a drag queen who was an avowed heterosexual. Drew talked with In the House creator Winifred Hervey about her time on Golden Girls. Read his roundtable interview with her and other Golden Girls writers here. Here is the In the House episode that has Debbie Allen playing opposite her real-life sister, Phylicia Rashad. And here is an episode of Friday Night Videos that has Debbie and Phylicia hanging out — and Debbie referring to eldest daughter Saundra as “the older one.” Drew appeared on last week’s Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie to discuss Don’t Go to Sleep, a made-for-TV oddity that features Ruth Gordon getting killed by an iguana and Valerie Harper menaced by a child wielding a rolling pizza cutter.

It's Halloween in August! Because why not? This week, Sam is celebrating this off-season holiday with performer and writer Naomi Ekperigin, and they’re discussing THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, a 1985 TV movie that gives you 100 percent of your daily requirement of Shari Belafonte.

You are not having as bad of a week as Valerie Harper is in this movie, but if you’ve ever wanted to see Rhoda get dragged through hell, this 1982 offering is the movie for you. And Ruth Gordon is there too! And an iguana! This week, Sam is joined by easily the least famous guest he’s had so far: Drew Mackie, producer of Monday Afternoon Movie and also the host of Gayest Episode Ever, a podcast about the LGBT-focused very special episodes of classic sitcoms.

Sam said it right at the top of the episode, and you really can’t get better than that: “The Love Boat Goes to Hell.” The Aaron Spelling-produced CRUISE INTO TERROR film combines the best aspects of leisure cruises and haunted Egyptian sarcophaguses. On board to discuss it is one of the foremost trash enthusiasts in the greater Los Angeles area (including the valley!): Mano Agapion, a colorful Greek whirlwind who knows more about RuPaul’s Drag Race than you do.

Have you ever watched a movie liked The Towering Inferno or The Poseidon Adventure and thought it would have been so much better if it had taken place at an amusement park and also there was a vague supernatural element to it? If yes, then we’ve got the right movie for you. This 1979 features a lot of action, the destruction of an actual amusement park *and* Mare Winningham in a dumb hat.

A 1970 made-for-TV offering in the style of What’s the Matter With Helen? and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, this one subs Anthony Perkins into what is usually the “old lady in peril” role. It also stars Julie Harris and Joan Hackett, and to discuss the melodramatic thrills, we have the wonderful Sherry Vine — drag queen, comedian and frequent collaborator of Sam’s in campy live stagings of classic sitcommery.

There’s a woman in trouble and her only hope for rescue is… Olivia de Havilland, a former asylum patient whose hands don’t work. This might seem like very bad odds for the woman in question, but don’t count Olivia de Havilland out yet: at a spry 104 years old, this Hollywood legend might just outlive us all.

Happy pride month! To celebrate the gayer side of made-for-TV magic, Sam is giving you the gift of a new episode that is not about a horror film. I know, I know. THAT CERTAIN SUMMER is a 1972 drama starring Hal Holbrook and Martin Sheen, and it’s the first teleplay to address the subject of homosexuality in a positive, sympathetic manner. It’s actually a good movie this time. Sam is joined by Bryan Safi — actor, comedian and host of the Throwing Shade podcast — to talk through this TV movie milestone.

Welcome to hell. Literally. We’d love to say that this episode is the first of the new season, but seeing as how we’re all grounded until summer, this is going to be a one-off until Sam can invite his friends over without risk of certain death. Luckily, this one is a great one: Jeff Nelson, camp impresario and Scream Factory co-founder, talks with Sam about INVITATION TO HELL, a Wes Craven-directed, Robert Urich-starring made-for-TV effort that features Susan Lucci as the devil.

“Oy Vey, You’re Gay” (October 23, 1995) With her over-the-top outfits and bigger-than-life persona, Fran Drescher has a certain queer appeal. In fact, more than a few little boys probably turned a love of Fran Drescher and Fran Fine into a love of drag. However, the show didn’t necessarily mine its Broadway theater milieu for a ton of gay storylines. In its third season, it did give us Catherine Oxenberg as a potential rival for Mr. Sheffield’s affections, were it not for a plot point that’s given away in the episode title. We mention the Monday Afternoon Movie episode about the Wes Craven film Summer of Fear, which stars Fran Drescher. Listen to that episode here. Buy Glen’s movie, Being Frank. Support us on Patreon!

More often than not, part of the fun of this podcast is laughing at the delightful bonkers nature of TV movies from this era. This week? It’s a different case. Sam is joined by film critic and fellow podcaster Dave White to discuss DUEL, the 1971 classic that introduced the world to a up-and-comer named Steven Spielberg. It’s stark. It’s tense.

Just one month after John Carpenter ruined the American babysitter market with HALLOWEEN, NBC aired SOMEBODY’S WATCHING ME, a different tale of imperiled women. This one stars Lauren Hutton and Adrienne Barbeau, and it’s quite likely one of the better made-for-TV thrillers ever, but the real take-away might be how good Hutton is as the film’s heroine.

In episode two of what we’re calling Amanda Reyes Presents Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie, we look at 1979’s Death Car on the Freeway, a crime thriller we’d best describe as Duel But Not. Shelley Hack stars an intrepid journalist attempting to investigate the Freeway Fiddler, who probably has the worst nickname in the history of serial killers. Mark Tracy joins Sam to talk acting, actors and, of course, cars.

Welcome to the fourth season of Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie, in which the list of featured films is curated by none other than Amanda Reyes, queen of TV movie fandom and author of the authoritative book on the subject. Amanda has handpicked every one of the films for the next few episodes, and for the episode she sits in the guest chair, she chose 1973’s ISN’T IT SHOCKING? — a proto-slasher starring Alan Alda, Louise Lasser and a host of geriatric murder victims.

Sam Pancake’s exploration of the horrors of the animal kingdom edges toward its explosive climax with 1978's THE BEASTS ARE ON THE STREETS, a film that guest Nina Millin points out more than once features relatively few moments of actual animals on actual streets. But whatever. Carol Lynley stars as the only animal scientist who can stop a zoological horde from rampaging through a town populated by extras who seem genuinely surprised to be in the presence of actual loose animals. Think of it a sort of of cinema verite, only Carol Lynley is also there!

The 1976 TV movie The Savage Bees had audiences demanding “More! MORE!” Hollywood bigwigs knew that the three other bee-themed made-for-TV horror films wouldn’t be enough, and that they had to tell more of the story of Jeannie Deveraux. In 1978, our bug lady heroine returned to the small screen, though now played by Tovah Feldshuh, and this week, Sam and special guest Nadya Ginsburg discussing the exciting final chapter in the saga. And then we promise we won’t talk about bees again.

After almost fifty years performing onscreen, Myrna Loy finally landed a role befitting her talents: as a wheelchair-bound hotelier besieged by ants. She stars opposite Suzanne Somers, Bernie Casey and Robert Foxworth in Ants!, a.k.a. It Happened at Lakewood Manor and also a.k.a. Panic at Lakewood Manor, because it’s always a good sign when a movie has multiple titles. Joining Sam this week is comedian and drag legend Jackie Beat, who did not enjoy the film.

Sam Pancake’s personal war on bees continues with THE SAVAGE BEES, a 1976 made-for-TV creature feature that has the unique distinction of not sucking to the point that it was actually released in theaters abroad. How much does it not suck? Lizzy Cooperman — actress, comedian and avowed insectophobe — joins Sam to discuss the film, which stars Ben Johnson, Michael Parks and the city of New Orleans itself.

What animal strikes more fear into the heart of man than… the banana spider?!?! Well, at least that’s the premise the creators of TARANTULAS: THE DEADLY CARGO were hoping would win over made-for-tv horror fans in 1977. This creature feature — weirdly a Christmastime release, for no reason in particular — doesn’t quite come together, but luckily actor Pip Lilly is on hand to talk with Sam about its hunky eye candy.

And along for this sinister sleigh ride is Love Connie herself, John Cantwell, and there is perhaps no better team-up to discuss the less-remembered performances of the TV movie era.

Hey, remember when we thought the bees were going to kill *us* instead of the other way around? LOL! This 1974 bug paranoia flick stars none other than Gloria Swanson as a real queen bee (and queen B) alongside Kate Jackson, Eddie Albert and a whole lot of actual bees that were not compensated for their participation. Sam is joined by actor and comedian Jeffery Self to discuss this film, just one of the many made-for-TV wonders tackling the subject of deadly bees.

No longer mere architectural ornaments, gargoyles come to life in this enjoyably shclocky offering from 1973. Sam is joined in this episode by his first-ever repeat guest (!!!) Daniele Gaither, a comedian and actress with a thorough command command of pop culture. To its credit, GARGOYLES actually won an Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Makeup, and it is good… even if it’s used to make it really hard to tell that under all that monster drag is Bernie Casey, an actor of color given a rare prominent in one of these made-for-TV horror flicks.

If your idea of good entertainment is Richard Crenna and Yvette Mimieux fighting a devil-possessed German Shepherd, then have we got a film for you. Monday Afternoon Movie’s animal-tastic third season continues with the 1978 novelty Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell, which, yes, is a very literal title, it turns out.
