Onesies – 2×6 – Freaks and Geeks (1999)

2×6 : Freaks and Geeks (1999), Part 6: Episodes 11-12 (fixed audio) Onesies

FIXED AUDIO. Emily and Andrew tackle the next pair of FREAKS AND GEEKS episodes, which include stand-out episodes for Seth Rogen and Martin Starr. In addition to those highlights, there are some great guest stars, but they also have to again discuss the show's very bad gender politics opinions, not to mention its new anti-drug and pro-God messaging.

709 Meridian – 2×2 – Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)

2×2 – Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) 709 Meridian

D and Andrew hunker down and try to get to the OTHER SIDE (all two and a half minutes of it). Listen as they wonder where Craig T. Nelson's mullet goes, what Will Sampson actually does in this movie, how Carol Anne's learned so many new words in just a year, and muse if this one's actually much worse than POLTERGEIST III.

709 Meridian – 2×1 – Poltergeist III (1988)

2×1 – Poltergeist III (1988) 709 Meridian

Season two kicks off with POLTERGEIST III, which had really better be the worst in the franchise because it's an exceptionally boring stinker. As the "action" unfolds, D and Andrew talk Chicago movies, angry Nancy Allen, good dad Tom Skerritt, and ghosts driving cars.

Onesies – 2×4 – Freaks and Geeks (1999)

2×4: Freaks and Geeks (1999), Part 3: Episodes 7-8 Onesies

This episode, Emily and Andrew remember how cool it'd be if the show let its protagonist siblings ever have any scenes together, try to decide what's cringey for when they made the show in 1999 and what's just cringey because it's set in 1980, and once again have no notes for the wonderful Martin Starr. Also SLC Punk is a great movie and people should see it.

709 Meridian – 1×9 – Halloween (1978)

Halloween (1978) 709 Meridian

The Season One finale–Halloween "ends" here for 709 Meridian as D and Andrew talk through the original 1978 Halloween, directed by John Carpenter, starring Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode and Brian Andrews as Tommy Doyle. Stick around after the commentary as they wrap up the movie (learning why Laurie's hair changes so much), make the definite "Worst to Best" list of the saga, and preview 709 Meridian Season Two. Sorry about the long post-movie discussion, but when you're talking good John Carpenter, you've got to talk good John Carpenter.

Onesies – 2×3 – Freaks and Geeks (1999)

2×3: Freaks and Geeks (1999), Part 3: Episodes 5-6 Onesies

Emily and Andrew talk some more FREAKS AND GEEKS, the 1999 NBC comedy-drama about early eighties high school created by Paul Feig and executive produced by Judd Apatow. Listen as they discuss getting fed up with bad female protagonists (agency, what's that), have no notes for Martin Starr or Dave (Gruber) Allen (just fawning admiration), and "Canada" Joe Flaherty is finally starting to appeal to Andrew.
