Duration: 1 h 42 min 12 s
Description: Let's remember some Z-Fighters. We honor the late Akira Toriyama as we get into his most famous creation, Dragon Ball Z. Stephen doesn't know/remember anything from watching it as a kid so this is mostly a lot of proper nouns. But you'll love it because Goku is there.

Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-NUH-nuh-nuh, duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-NUH-nuh-nuh, duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-NUH-nuh-NUH, DUH-NUH

X-Men

We're taking it back to our millennial childhoods with Yu-Gi-Oh!, a show where nothing much happens except for card games represented by holograms. We recorded this right after the Luka Doncic trade so there's a lot of basketball talk too.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

We all know that Cleveland rocks, but does The Drew Carey Show? Especially episodes that don't involve Cleveland Rocks? We took a closer look at one of our favorite "after school basic cable syndication" shows to see how it holds up. This one's for everyone in Solon, Parma, Lakewood, etc.

The Drew Carey Show

To modern audiences it's Tom Cruise's big action franchise, but for us it's time look at Mission: Impossible's '60s TV origins, and all that entails: Espionage! Cool dead drops! Anti-Communism! Brownface!

Apologies for the janky audio in this one, there was a file issue so we had to use the backup.

Mission: Impossible

Last time out we covered a show that became a beloved action franchise, but how about a beloved action franchise spawning a TV show? The short-lived Sarah Connor Chronicles ask the big questions: What if there was a hot Terminator (please ignore T3)? Or a Scottish accented one? Are these changes enough to make it better than all of the 21st Century sequels? This episode also has Ian and Travis getting in the weeds on the state of modern television, because why not.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

We could not find the British cop show Heartbeat, so we pivoted to discuss Travis's favorite comedy of all time: Curb Your Enthusiasm. We get into the ups and downs of a show that ran for a quarter of a century while staying mostly the same, the inherent confusion of having some celebrities play themselves while others play fictional characters, and the genius of ending your show the same way you ended the previous one in spite of all the haters.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Remember when Mozart in the Jungle won a billion Golden Globes for its first season and nobody knew what it was? We're investigating the Amazon Prime original, which ran for three more seasons after that! Did you know orchestral musicians have sex? That's more or less the premise.
