Tread Perilously's fantasy month continues with a trip to Fantasy Island called "Voodoo/Parent Trap." Much to Tattoo's dismay, Mr. Roarke accepts $51 from two children who desperately want to see their parents back together. Under the guise of inspecting the children's survival weekend, the mother and father -- and their respective fiances -- end up stuck in a rustic cabin. Meanwhile, Roarke aids an amnesiac to discover whether or not she is the heiress to a rubber plantation. He also employs the help of the voodoo adherents who lived on the estate. But is there more to this fantasy than meets the eye? Justin makes his first visit to Fantasy Island and immediately learns to love Ricardo Montalban's Mr. Roarke. Erik reveals the "Parent Trap" segment's other name. The pair discuss the reasons why this is one of the lowest rated episodes of the series on IMDb. The presence of Hervé Villechaize as Tattoo leads to a discussion of lesser Bond movies. The true nature of Roarke is also debated. The "Voodoo" segment, meanwhile, gets raked across the coals for obvious old-timey racism. But a surprise special guest proves good in their role. Erik admits to enjoying both film versions of The Parent Trap and a bear in one of the segments calls the spirit of a certain filmmaker to pronounce his judgement on the proceedings.

In this follow-up Parenting Is a Joke episode, Ophira Eisenberg and comedian Ahri Findling zero in on the strange overlap between parenting, comedy, and creative identity, starting with Findling's Instagram bits that splice mundane parenting tasks—like folding laundry—with explosive movie quotes that suddenly feel accurate once you have kids. Their conversation moves through watching childhood films with a new lens, as Ophira revisits E.T. and can only see the overwhelmed single mom feeding her kids junk and leaving a four-year-old home alone, while Findling reinterprets The Parent Trap as a borderline criminal act of separating twins. From there, Findling articulates his comedic approach—mining the small, uncomfortable truths of marriage and parenting, like imagining himself at his wife's casket both professing love and quietly panicking about not knowing where anything is—and connects it to a broader philosophy that nothing in family life is unique, which becomes oddly comforting for parents juggling creative careers. They get specific about the logistics of stand-up life with young kids, including missing bedtimes, reframing gigs as “work” (a tip from Chris Gethard), and the guilt of being physically absent but creatively dependent on those experiences, alongside moments like Findling's daughter hiding his shoes to stop him from leaving for a show. The episode also captures the granular negotiations of parenting style—whether to allow swearing at home, how to handle kids absorbing language from Brooklyn streets or Mormon neighbors upstairs, and the constant resetting required when a child abruptly rejects their favorite food or rewrites the rules overnight. Throughout, both comics return to the idea that parenting is improvisational and deeply humbling, whether you're observing your kid from afar at the park realizing they're becoming their own person or trying to stay consistent in a job that requires leaving the house at bedtime, all while remembering Findling's rule that some days the best strategy is simply to think like a goldfish when your kid suddenly insists they've never liked chicken nuggets in their life.

“BESS FLOWERS & FRANKLYN FARNUM: QUEEN & KING OF THE EXTRAS” - 4/13/2026 (135) Actors BESS FLOWERS and FRANKLYN FARNUM were absolute legends of the “blink and you'll miss them” world. They weren't headliners — in fact, they often were not credited or even noticed, but honestly, that's what makes them so fascinating—their careers quietly stitched together the fabric of classic cinema. They were Extras. Without them and other extras like them, all those iconic movie moments would feel a lot less alive. Their careers spanned decades and thousands of films. They became, in their own way, silent witnesses to the evolution of Hollywood from the silent era through the golden age and into the modern period. So this week, we're going to explore the lives and careers of BESS FLOWERS and FRANKLYN FARNUM, examining not only their astonishing productivity but also their unique roles within the Hollywood system. By looking closely at the films in which they can best be seen, we gain a deeper appreciation for their contributions and the overlooked artistry of background performers.

We are recapping the week of March 30 through April 3, 2026. Nathan left breakfast with James and Felicia and went to Wyndemere, where Sidwell confirmed he was not speaking to Nathan West — he was speaking to Cassius Faison. We have a lot of questions about where this twin fits into the Faison family history and the show has not answered them yet. Before Marco's service, Carly tried and failed to talk Sonny and Ric out of going, asking Sonny what he would have done if Julian had shown up to Morgan's funeral. Laura had already come by earlier in the week and disclosed to Ric for the first time that she was also being blackmailed by Sidwell. The service happened off camera, which we were not thrilled about, Sidwell told Sonny he would be sorry, and Lucas turned down Carly's offer of a room at the Metro Court. He is staying at Wyndemere and he knows exactly what he is doing. We are also sitting on a theory we hope we are wrong about. Ric may be working for Sidwell. He came back to Port Charles shortly after Lucky escaped Sidwell's compound, is now Sonny's closest advisor, knows everything including Laura's involvement, and this week drew a deliberate single tear down his cheek to get information out of Liz at GH. Lucas, meanwhile, pieced together with Britt that Cullum killed Marco by reading texts on Marco's phone, then realized he had saved the life of his boyfriend's killer. He had a panic attack. His move into Wyndemere is not grief. It is strategy, and proving Cullum is a double agent could mean justice for Marco and a path to freeing Jason. Elsewhere Rocco is barely holding it together, Willow overheard Trina tell Kai they both know she shot Drew, Michael noticed Drew blinking, Wiley asked a foster care social worker what a hooker was, Cody won a raffle trip and Molly came out of surgery telling him no more long sleeves.

Did this week feel like the longest week ever to anyone else? Kelly and Lizz have made it through to Friday and temperatures finally reached above freezing. The kids spent the last week enjoying sledding in the snow and even doing a little camping... for all of 20 minutes... Plus, there was some quality TV time with Lizz getting into "The Landman" and Kelly introducing her daughter to "The Parent Trap." Looking into Last Three Transactions, Kelly is still on her Fisher Price grind. Good news - she found the minivan! The Amazon table saga isn't over as another one is on the way to the Stumpe house. Lizz is stocking up on her favorite Lululemon leggings for herself and poo dinos for the kids... It's a potty training thing. Two advice questions this week come from moms on the opposite ends of the parenting spectrum, one with her first kid and the other with three older kids including a teenager. They both need car advice for this season of their life. In Industry News, Kelly has details on a new Toyota SUV and the Chrysler spec car that got stuck in the snow. Finally in Ditch the Drive-Thru is a recipe for a southwest meatloaf that you're going to want to make tonight.

#904. This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn sits down with actress Elaine Hendrix — you may know her as Meredith Blake from The Parent Trap — for a conversation that goes way beyond the movie you think you know her from!Elaine opens up about returning to dance decades later on Dancing with the Stars, why she was convinced she was going home every single week, and how a cracked rib nearly took her out of the competition. She shares what viewers didn't see: the nonstop rehearsals, emotional whiplash, intense competitiveness, and why the timing finally felt right to say yes after turning the show down before.We rewind to the moment that changed everything — being hit by a car just as her dance career was taking off — and how living with chronic pain reshaped her relationship with her body and work. Elaine also reflects on landing The Parent Trap at 26 (as the 433rd actress to audition), why Meredith Blake has become a millennial icon, and how fans' relationship with that character has completely flipped.Honest, funny, and full of perspective, this is a conversation you won't want to miss!If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!
