What listeners will find here
Family Ties gets a Sitcom September check-in on politics, nostalgia, and 80s expectations
Family Ties closes out Sitcom September as Erika and Paul revisit the 1982 sitcom that helped launch Michael J. Fox. The episode looks at how a family comedy built around clashing political beliefs lands now, with plenty of room for 80s nostalgia and a funny detour into the era’s promised midnight snacks.
Alien gets the That Aged Well treatment: great cast, weird wardrobe, sharp pacing
Alien (1979) is the focus here, with attention to its pacing, memorable space underwear, and one very specific cattle prod. Paul Caiola and Erika Villalba dig into a stacked cast led by Sigourney Weaver, with plenty of appreciation for the film’s offbeat details.
A lively revisit to Poltergeist, with JoBeth Williams, Zelda Rubinstein, and that nightmare clown
Poltergeist gets the Creepy October treatment with a focus on why this 1982 horror classic hit so hard for a generation of too-young viewers. The episode also pushes back on the idea that it’s simply a Steven Spielberg movie, spotlighting JoBeth Williams and Zelda Rubinstein instead.
A horror-comedy favorite gets the That Aged Well treatment
Shaun of the Dead (2004) is the focus here, with Paul Caiola and Erika Villalba diving into the film through the lens of what still works. The episode hints at side paths involving turtling, music videos, and, yes, gazpacho.
