DC S05.E23: Swan Song

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 18 May 2026 05:00:00 +0000

The school year is over and everyone is TRYING to move on to their next adventures, but figures from their past are getting in the way. A delayed flight lets Jack reunite with Eric, who’s decided against spending the summer trying to come out to his parents and has returned to Boston to work on himself. Jen is eager to get to Costa Rica, but as soon as Dawson finds out about her parents’ invitation, he starts giving her the guilts about it. Joey and Pacey, back in Capeside, wonder if they should be so passive about Dawson and Audrey winging off to Los Angeles and away from them. Get ready for us to honk angrily at all the convenient coincidences of “Swan Song”!

DC S05.E22: The Abby

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 11 May 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Schoooooooool’s! Out! For! Summer! Joey clears out her dorm room, bringing Audrey home to see if Capeside is as thrilling in person as it has been in Joey’s undoubtedly stultifying stories. Dawson gives them a lift, and manages to wait until the next day to tell Audrey that his new agent has found a producer in L.A. who wants to mentor him and Oliver on possibly remaking their movie into something bigger. Jack and Jen, of course, don’t have to pack up their rooms, but they are planning to pack some bags and go on a vacation together. But as soon as they’ve decided that their destination should be Costa Rica, Grams give Jen some bad news: her terrible parents bought a house in Easthampton and want Jen to spend the summer with them there. Pacey’s work life hasn’t gotten any easier: Alex is putting on a luncheon for investors to convince them to open a second Civilization in Philadelphia, and since everything has to be perfect, you’d think she’d try a little harder not to alienate her ENTIRE staff in the hours and minutes before her guests are due to arrive. We pray you will join us for our latest episode on “The Abby”!

DC S05.E21: After Hours

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 04 May 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Season 5 is almost over, and so is the semester at Worthington AND Boston Bay Colleges. While Joey stays put trying to study for multiple exams, everyone else rolls through to include her in their business. Dawson giggles so much at This Is Spinal Tap that Joey kicks him out to a screening of sex, lies, and videotape, where he runs into Amy fleeing Storytelling, and the two decide to spend the night together instead. Audrey babbles about Pacey keeping secrets from her — which he is, on Jack’s advice, regarding Alex’s kiss at the end of the previous episode. And a frantic Jack, missing crucial course notes and completely desperate, begs her to tell him anything she knows about multivariable calculus. Pacey seems to think he can handle whatever energy Alex keeps directing at him, but he also seems determined to ignore every opportunity to keep their relationship professional. Don’t wait until after hours to listen to our episode on “After Hours”!

DC S05.E20: Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Aggressive Mediocrity has been offered the gig of a lifetime: a ten-city tour supporting a Go-Go’s tribute band! If Charlie had any family that cared about him even a little, they might be telling him he shouldn’t drop out of his college classes in the hopes that he’s going to make it big with his college-town cover band, but he doesn’t, which is why he’s not only planning to go, but thinks Joey should drop out and go with him, as his girlfriend. When she immediately declines, telling him HE should totally still go if he wants, he’s not trying to hear that, deciding at this pivot point in his life that he needs to stay in Boston and devote all the time he formerly spent performing with her. Out of absolutely nowhere, Civilization gets sold to a conglomerate with a lot of big plans. Audrey and Pacey are both worried that new manager Alex Pearl (Sherilyn Fenn!) won’t want to keep them around. Only one of them is right. Oliver and Dawson have rescheduled their meeting with the New York agent who might be interested in representing them; while Dawson is eager to practice how they’re going to approach it, Oliver believes being himself is the way to go, and if you’re not sure how that works out, you haven’t been paying attention. You and our latest episode on “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” are not worlds apart; you’ve got it right here!

DC S05.E19: 100 Light Years From Home

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

It’s Spring Break! And even though Joey is not sure she cares to present herself as prey for the goons who are going to be headed to Florida to try to get on MTV’s cameras, she lets Dawson talk her into going to spend the week in Audrey’s parents’ beach house, where no one’s really capable of having fun: Jack is keeping secrets, Jen is getting a cold, and both Pacey AND Audrey are keeping their guard up around each other rather than admit that they actually want to be boyfriend/girlfriend. They haven’t even really gotten close when suddenly a ghost appears from Audrey’s past: Chris, her high school boyfriend of two years; on top of being, as Audrey puts it, her “Dawson,” he’s also a movie star in the making AND still hung up on Audrey. Speaking of being hung up: Charlie, who ignores Joey’s flirtatious sort-of rejections to find his way to her and try to push past the barriers she’s put up against him. While this is all going on, Dawson — en route to New York to meet an agent who likes the (still untitled) movie — regales Oliver with the hours-long story of his relationship with Joey, in the process convincing himself of something HORRIBLE. Don’t go far: our episode on “100 Light Years From Home” is right here!

DC S05.E18: Cigarette Burns

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Dawson having Frankensteined Oliver’s still-untitled movie into some kind of barely viewable but still misshapen format, Oliver gets a great idea: to schedule a public screening on campus and invite a real film critic to come see it! Dawson didn’t know that part, which is how he manages to offend her within seconds of meeting her. Nearly everyone else who gets dragged into attending this nightmare is at a high emotional pitch: Joey is letting herself dream about getting something going with Charlie; Grams suddenly has a boyfriend; Oliver’s ready to pursue his crush on the now-single Jen; and Pacey has opened the door to investigating how many people Audrey slept with before him, getting answers he really doesn’t like. Only Jack escapes unscathed from our latest episode on “Cigarette Burns,” in which we welcome Sarah back to the co-host seat!

DC S05.E17: Highway To Hell

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Why would the singer quit Charlie's band RIGHT before a big-break upstate gig they're getting paid decent money for? To give Dawson's Creek a pretext for Katie Holmes to sing not one but THREE pop songs, of course! Sigh. Audrey goes along because she wants to, and Pacey is convinced to drive her and Joey because he wants to keep fooling around with Audrey, then regrets it as soon as Charlie shows up, having overslept and missed the van with the rest of the guys. Cue posturing from both alpha males that can only be defused with Audrey's timely, uh, intervention. The gig does give Joey an excuse to miss a trip back to Capeside for Lilly's first birthday party, but Grams, Jack, and Jen are required to go with him, getting a front-row seat to Dawson's heartbreak when he finds out Gale has made a single dad "friend" named Nathan. This is terrible timing for Jen, who had already announced to Jack before they left Boston that she was planning to break up with Dawson, but now doesn't want to add to his pain. Adam Grosswirth is back on the highway to hell for our podcast on "Highway To Hell"!

DC S05.E16: In A Lonely Place

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

We're back from Joey's departure episode, and everyone has tons of plot to get through! Allegedly Joey's friends are taking turns babysitting her, though the only one we see her with is Dawson, which is how he gets a front-row seat to Joey's awkwardness around Wilder when she spots him on a date mere hours after he rejected her. Dawson is only on this platonic outing with Joey because Jen excused him from going with her to see a band she then has to interview for the radio station; she takes Audrey as her plus-one instead, which is convenient since Audrey needs a reason to keep her loins away from Pacey. And speaking of Pacey: he spends his evening with Jack at a bar that doesn't card, but that's not the only feature that sets it apart from Boston's many other watering holes; we don't know if it's a place where everybody knows Jack's name, but they probably have a pretty good idea of what he's into. Adam Grosswirth returns so that Tara will be a little less lonely discussing "In A Lonely Place"!

DC S05.E15: Downtown Crossing

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Remember how triumphant Joey was when she pitched that very fake snowball at a T sign at the end of "Guerrilla Filmmaking"? Well, we hope she does, because her night gets a lot worse from there: she's accosted by a mugger, and losing all her liquid assets AND her coat is just the start of her ordeal. It's also just the start of OUR ordeal, because Joey can't just survive a violent assault by a stranger; she has to make him and his whole family fall in love with her, too. Adam Grosswirth is really going above and beyond sitting in for our episode of "Downtown Crossing"!

DC S05.E14: Guerrilla Filmmaking

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

All the excitement Dawson had about directing Oliver's movie has dissipated now that he's actually shooting it: Oliver is a terrible actor, the ending still doesn't work, and everyone has ideas that may or may not conflict with Dawson's vision. On top of that, learning lines is getting a little too Method for Audrey and Pacey, who's helping her; and Audrey's also getting caught up in the drama of her roommate Joey's entanglement with Wilder. Elsewhere, Jack is trying to get back into his frat brothers' good graces after the Civilization bar fight in the previous episode; Eric's overtures may not be something Jack can safely take at face value. Get ready to run and gun: Adam Grosswirth is back for our episode on "Guerrilla Filmmaking"!

DC S05.E13: Something Wilder

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

The time has finally come for Dawson to quit screwing around and enroll at a school in Boston -- "Viz Arts," as he is apparently determined to call it. Oliver from the New Hampshire film festival spots him on campus almost immediately and wastes no time almost literally throwing his insanely long new script at Dawson and asking him to direct it. Possibly in part because Dawson can tell how much their classmates hate Oliver, Dawson demurs...but remains exactly polite enough to irritate Jen as Oliver keeps stealing time away from her and Dawson. But considering that Jen's producers at the radio station are so sick of how shmoopy she is on mic lately, a little rage may be just what her relationship with Dawson needs right now. Elliot works up the courage to ask Joey out for dinner and a movie, and she accepts. Yay! But then Prof. Wilder swoops in with a closing dinner for everyone who worked on the Rose Lazar archive, and it's the SAME NIGHT as her date. Boo! The way you can tell that, despite her denials, Joey IS hot for teacher is how shady she is breaking her date with Elliot in Prof. Wilder's favor. Jack is trying to be super-casual about the fact that he landed on academic probation precisely one semester into college, but no one else feels that way -- not even his frat brothers, who alternately stress out about how Jack's failure will reflect on the house and mock him for being stupid. Jack's got a lot to drink about! You might also want something alcoholic to pair with our episode on "Something Wilder"!

DC S05.E12: Sleeping Arrangements

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Jen and Dawson have now been housemates nearly as long as they've been dating, and Jen is getting itchy: she's grossed out when Dawson wants to use her toothbrush (which he only has to because she commandeered his for makeup purposes) and violated when he starts going through her stuff in the bathroom. Jen channels these feelings into advice for the female students who call in asking for relationship tips, which is fine until Dawson tunes in just as she's saying that although you can delay it with sex, all men leave. Jack is finding out this is true in a sense at the frat house: as he moves in to a capacious single, upperclassman Blossom is moving into a shared room with Eric. Turns out Jack is right to be suspicious about how THAT arrangement came about. On the heels of Pacey's big promotion at [eye-roll] Civilization, Melanie returns with a thrilling offer: her uncle bought a bigger boat and he's taking it out to sail around the Greek Islands...in three days. What will Pacey do? And will his increased contact with Audrey sway his decision? Professor Wilder's new course boasts both Joey and Elliot, the guy Joey literally bumped into in the season premiere. After Wilder (creepily) notices Elliot watching Joey during class and (even more creepily) forces him to talk to her, Joey has to determine whether it's worth getting involved with one of Audrey's exes...or is he? Don't sleep on our episode on "Sleeping Arrangements"!

DC S05.E11: Something Wild

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Having said in the previous episode that she was relieved Jen was taking the responsibility of taking care of Dawson apparently doesn't preclude Joey from ALSO being jealous of them. And since the incredible grades she just got are worthy of celebration, she hits the club with Audrey and Pacey to take her mind off things. Running into Charlie should put her mind back ON Jen, but then he hits on her and gives her a devilish idea that Audrey and Pacey have to put their flirting on hold to witness. Meanwhile, Dawson brings Jen back to Capeside, where Gale is confronted by their new relationship status because her clod son didn't tell her about it in advance. When the plot conveniently removes him, Jen and Gale get serious about what Dawson should be doing with his life now and which of them should be the one to order him around. (Spoiler: not the one who's going to be paying for any school he enrolls in next.) Get wild about our episode on "Something Wild"!

DC S05.E10: Appetite For Destruction

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Remember in the weirdly rescheduled Halloween episode when Pacey promised to make dinner for everyone when Jen and Dawson came back from New Hampshire? It's time. On their way in, Dawson and Jen agree to keep things low-profile before proceeding to mack on the doorstep AND in the foyer, where their friends all immediately witness them doing. Cue the entrances and exits as Jack worries that Jen and Dawson are both too emotionally raw for what they're embarking on, everyone monitors Joey for signs of an imminent breakdown, and Pacey is alternately annoyed by and concerned about his diners failing to appreciate his food. We tell you where everyone leaves things, so we hope you brought an appetite for our episode on "Appetite For Destruction"!

DC S05.E09: Four Scary Stories

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

What better time to tell four scary stories than...right between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Here's the flimsy pretext: after coming home from a so-so horror movie, Joey, Jack, and Pacey make like a Treehouse Of Horror and tell their own stories. What happened to Joey in the library? Jack when he was alone in the frat house? Pacey on an improbable drive home with Karen? And what scarifying tale did Grams hear from Jen? We go through them all in our latest podcast episode, if you're not too much of a fraidy-cat to listen!

DC S05.E08: Hotel New Hampshire

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

On Dr. Weir's encouragement, Dawson decides he should go to the Hooksett, NH Film Festival and collect his prize for his documentary on Mr. Brooks. Since Jen is eager to get away from Charlie and Nora, Dawson suggests that she come...................as it were but NO SPOILERS. Jack invites Joey to be his date for the frat's winter formal, but when the call goes out at the house to hook unattached brothers up with girls who are goers, Jack admits that he might know one, and sets his brother Eric up with Audrey. What conflict ensues probably wouldn't if Eric were at all a decent conversationalist. Pacey decides to reframe the narrative with Karen by asking her out on a no-expectations, non-romantic date, but Pacey being Pacey, his best-laid plans...................okay, again, no spoilers. No need to hit the Granite State: our episode on "Hotel New Hampshire" is right here!

DC S05.E07: Text, Lies And Videotape

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

With Jen's support, Dawson returns to Dr. Weir's office and finds out a lot: she thinks his panic attacks might be about more than just Mitch's death; he's entitled to be angry at Mitch even though he's dead; and, oh yeah, she's played by a pre-NCIS Pauley Perrette, looking just plain wrong as a blonde (yes, even with very dark roots). While Audrey gets a lovestruck film geek to help her with her audition tape for The Real World Ibiza, Joey gets deep into the Rose Lazar archive. You wouldn't think the two could have anything to do with each other but, preposterously, they do. And as the restaurant prepares to celebrate a big anniversary, Pacey tells Karen he knows, which only makes his job there more complicated. We've got your audiotape on "Text, Lies And Videotape"!

DC S05.E06: High Anxiety

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Having ruled out any physical source of the periodic faintness Dawson's been feeling, Dawson's doctor recommends a therapist specializing in grief who works in Boston. Dawson doesn't tell anyone he has an appointment to see her, which may be why he only makes it as far as her waiting room before bailing to try to put on a brave face with his friends -- including Jack, who takes him straight to a frat party for some drinking games. This gets Dawson just wasted enough to say some really hurtful things to Joey when he sees her later that night. By that point, Joey has already been listening to hurtful things all night: Audrey's mother Kay (Brenda Strong!) has come to town to re-up all the food and body issues Audrey may have allowed to go dormant in her absence. Elsewhere, Jen is still moping about having spotted Charlie kissing another girl, but when Pacey points out that she can always get even with him, Jen decides to run with it. Don't be anxious: our episode on "High Anxiety" is right here -- and Adam Grosswirth is sitting in for Sarah as our very special guest co-host!

DC S05.E05: Use Your Disillusion

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 06:15:00 +0000

Having apparently exhausted his usefulness at home, Gale sends him to Worthington to hang out with Joey for a couple of days. Given Dawson's lack of interest in her when she was home for the funeral, she is nervous as hell about how the visit's going to go. Once he gets there, he doesn't seem especially psyched to watch a movie on her tiny TV even before they get to a scene that too closely mirrors recent events in his life. When she mentions a party at Professor Wilder's house, he's eager to go...until he actually gets there and immediately feels trapped. What is happening to Dawson's emotions and why? (...We all know, but it's 2001; they hadn't heard of trauma yet back then.) Pacey's in the middle of telling Jen all about his amazing new mentor Danny and crush Karen when Jen happens to spot Charlie through the window of a restaurant: he told Jen he had a shift at the radio station that night, but here he is dining with ANOTHER GIRL?! While Jen comes to terms with Charlie's possible trampiness, Pacey starts to get inklings that Danny isn't all he's cracked up to be. Tobey comes to town to surprise Jack on what unfortunately happens to be Hell Week for the frat pledges. Can Jack balance his obligations to his new friends with the attention he needs and wants to pay his boyfriend? Use your ears to enjoy our episode on "Use Your Disillusion"!

DC S05.E04: The Long Goodbye

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 06:15:00 +0000

Mitch is dead, and everyone's stopped their lives to deal with it. All the Boston students, plus Grams and Pacey, come back for the funeral. (Evidently all Pacey's relatives -- including Gretchen, who lives less than a half-day's drive away -- had better things to do.) Jen doesn't know how to help Dawson, and says so to him. Joey thinks she does, and gets rebuffed. Dawson himself is handling as much of the preparations as he can because Gale has fully broken down, though when he does open up, it's to tell Joey he blames himself entirely for Mitch's death. This is such a relentlessly grim one that we better get at least three kooky ones to balance it out, but for now, say hello to our episode on "The Long Goodbye"!

DC S05.E03: Capeside Revisited

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 06:15:00 +0000

It turns out Danny's restaurant is quite a hot spot, which is how a scenester like Joey (sarcasm) happens to be there on one of Pacey's first nights working there. Jen readily confesses everything she knows about his time in Boston, including that THIS chance glimpse really did happen by chance, since Jen didn't know he worked there. Once Joey has heard that Pacey asked Jen not to tell Joey he was in town, Joey starts spinning out that he must not want to see her. Fortunately, Audrey is there to convince her to get over herself. Dawson is also still hanging out in Boston, dragging his feet on telling his parents that he wants to drop out of USC and move to Boston. When he finally does, Mitch is stern and judgmental to Dawson while admitting to Gale that he really did miss Dawson and wasn't upset to see him back. Neither parent thinks it's a great idea for him to change his college plan to spend more time with a girl he's not even dating, and they've obviously got a point. Jen starts overthinking her relationship with Charlie, forcing them both into a sex fast so that they can actually have conversations and learn about each other. And Jack finds out he has one specific attribute that made the Sigma Epsilon brothers want to pursue him as a pledge. Visit our visit to "Capeside Revisited"!

Special: It's A Killer Diva Kind Of Christmas

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 06:15:00 +0000

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes from the club vault.

AWAWT 172: Let's Watch Linda Gray AND Donna Mills In Ladies Of The '80s: A Divas Christmas!

Life imitates art -- or maybe Lifetime imitates soaps -- as a bunch of daytime divas from an earlier age reunite for a special episode of their old show, and help a couple of young people out of their own way in the process. Call your mom -- she might be wondering which of her favorite stars from Knots Landing and Dallas are still alive!

AWAWT 220: Let’s Watch Laura Leighton In Naked City: A Killer Christmas!

The Naked City (1948) spawned a TV show in the fifties, AND two Showtime movies in the nineties; the second one stars Laura Leighton as an ambitious but ambivalent tabloid-newsmag anchor. It also stars Scott Glenn and Courtney B. Vance as cop partners, but are they (or Bogdanovich's direction) enough to save a corny script?

DC S05.E02: The Lost Weekend

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 06:15:00 +0000

Dawson having shown up in Boston as none of us particularly wanted him to, he's had a delightful weekend (offscreen) with Joey. That all changes on his last day when he finally thinks to call his USC dorm room for the one and only message on his answering machine: the one Joey left, while drunk at a frat party, telling him that SHE. Is OVER. HIM. Or something like that. Suddenly, Dawson is incensed, so it's a good thing Joey has an administrative task to handle: it's the last day she can drop Professor Wilder's Creative Writing class, so she's going to be standing in an hours-long line while Dawson has Audrey give him the campus tour and listen to his bitching about his lonely loser life in Los Angeles. (Which we already had a glimpse of with that nearly empty answering machine.) Pacey turns out not to be a lonely loser on the yacht: he's seeing a rich girl named Melanie (future House and Once Upon A Time star Jennifer Morrison!), this summer's boat babe, and this one will even sleep with him. Pacey has just blown off a job hookup Doug arranged for him with his chef friend when Melanie casually picks up their lunch check at a fine dining establishment, because Pacey is unemployed. But the Pacey who loves taking care of people can't let THAT stand. Maybe working for Doug's friend won't be so bad! After days of fruitless wandering, Jen chances back upon Charlie during his show at the campus radio station. Tiresome flirting over 80s music and feminist literature leads them straight into bed -- oldest story in the world. Don't go anywhere: you've found our episode on "The Lost Weekend"!

DC S05.E01: The Bostonians

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 06:15:00 +0000

Joey is working hard to deserve her spot at Worthington -- not just studying but grade-grubbing, particularly with her creative writing instructor Professor Wilder (Ken Marino!), and getting a reputation as an enemy of fun with her free-spirited roommate Audrey (Busy Philipps!). Over at Boston Bay College, Jack is trying to stay faithful in his long-distance relationship with Tobey while trying to find a guy for Jen for the first time since Henry, yes really. A chance invitation to a frat party puts Jen in the path of Charlie (Chad Michael Murray!), the cute bass guitarist in the party band, and makes Joey realize she really might be stuck in the past. She could have been even FURTHER stuck there, however, since Dawson was supposed to visit this weekend until he got an internship starting immediately. But excited as he was to work under hotshot director Todd, the lessons Dawson learns are tougher than the Capeside wunderkind is used to. Park your arse in Harvard Yard (sorry) and enjoy our episode on "The Bostonians"!

DC S04.E23: Coda

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 06:15:00 +0000

Dawson, naturally, got into the USC summer program, so we join him on his last day in Capeside. It's hard! His father is being very bossy about what kind of laptop Dawson should get and with whom he should be spending his last dinner before college. His ex-girlfriends Jen and Joey keep bringing up stuff they talked about three seasons ago. His absent best friend Pacey is phoning from "paradise" to say how much their friendship means to him. Not that he knows it, but Jen is giving Joey the idea that if Joey just asked Dawson to stay, he would. And maybe she's right -- Dawson still hasn't even packed yet! It's also Grams and Jen's last day in Capeside, but no one seems to care about that nearly as much. Maybe the Led Zeppelin album Coda announced, "I Can't Quit You Baby," but we CAN quit Season 4 in our latest episode!

Special: Let's Brave Alaska And Thanksgiving

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 06:15:00 +0000

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes from the club vault.

AWAWT 217: Let's Watch Emma Caulfield Ford In A Thanksgiving Episode Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer!

When Joyce goes out of town for Thanksgiving, Buffy (the character) decides to put on a Thanksgiving dinner, and Buffy (the show) stays on theme not just by making the monster of the week the ghost of a Chumash warrior, but also by, thusly, biting off a lot more than it can chew.

AWAWT 223: Let's Watch Alyssa Milano And Cameron Bancroft In To Brave Alaska!

Cameron Bancroft and Alyssa Milano play would-be gold miners in Alaska's dangerously isolated Surprise Bay. Surprise! It doesn't go well for them.

DC S04.E22: The Graduate

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 06:15:00 +0000

What comes after the episode after the prom? Graduation, of course! Joey is stressed about the speech she'll have to give as winner of the Pinnacle Award; it's a good thing Bessie had a premortem letter from their poor dead mom to hand off and inspire her. Pacey is stressed about passing enough exams to graduate with his friends, and while he's not as big a monster about it as David Silver was whenever HE got stressed on Beverly Hills, 90210, he doesn't exactly cover himself in glory either; it's a good thing Mr. Kasdan is very patient and generous. Drue is stressed about his terrible parents; it's a good thing Jen and Grams love taking in strays. Principal Peskin is stressed that someone's going to prank the graduation ceremony. Tobey is stressed about asking Jack why he isn't calling Tobey his boyfriend. Jack is stressed about getting to the airport on time to pick up Andie. Lily is...probably stressed about when she's going to be old enough to see color? Don't stress: our episode on "The Graduate" is right here!

DC S04.E21: Separation Anxiety

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 06:15:00 +0000

After the high emotion of "Promicide," couldn't we all use a little breather? (Also, let's be real: in a 23-episode season, you can't go straight from prom to commencement anyway.) Dawson is very slowly getting used to the idea of having lost Gretchen when Gale announces that she's leaving town, so he better try to get what closure he can in a hurry. Joey's moping around her Yacht Club shift when good old Mr. Kubelik from Worthington asks her to bring that charming boyfriend of hers to an imminent freshmen's mixer because Mr. Kubelik wants to introduce Pacey to the Dean of Admissions. Pacey, dying of shame, agrees to go, maybe even letting himself get as hopeful as Joey about what this invitation could mean. Jen comes home to a realtor showing Grams's house to prospective buyers, which is how she learns that Grams plans to use the proceeds to send Jen to college and live on what's left at an apparently not very nice retirement community. Jen immediately decides she's not going to go, so it falls to Jack to take a break from his very offscreen dates with Tobey to suggest there's another solution. Don't stress about losing us -- we're right here with a new episode on "Separation Anxiety"!

DC S04.E20: Promicide

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 06:15:00 +0000

We've dealt with everyone hearing back from colleges, and you know what that means: it's time for prom! Joey's going with Pacey, even though he seems to have lost interest in kissing or looking at her. Jen and Jack are supposed to go as friends, but Jen is pretty determined to set Jack up with Tobey. And Dawson's going with Gretchen, who can't help remembering that...she's already done all this. Everyone politely goes through the motions in the lead-up to the big event, saving their biggest meltdowns for when all their classmates can turn off the stereo and watch. You just have to turn UP your headphones (to a safe level, of course) and LISTEN as we tell you all about "Promicide"!

DC S04.E19: Late

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 05:15:00 +0000

It's tough to be pregnant on TV! If your supposed loved ones aren't making snarky comments about how big you got to GROW A HUMAN PERSON INSIDE YOU, you're the butt of the "joke" of at least one and maybe several bouts of false labor. Ha ha ha? But not really. Poor Gale. Anyway: the Leery baby is two weeks overdue and it's an issue. When he's not hovering around Gale, however, Dawson has time to hover around Gretchen. Does she want to have sex...now? What about......now? And what does it mean that she's suddenly got an interview for a job in Boston when HE is about to go to college in CALIFORNIA?! Pacey, meanwhile, is out of town, which seems to be making Joey antsy. Is she so codependent or horny that she can't amuse herself for a couple of days while he goes fishing with Doug, or is there, perhaps, another reason she needs to get hold of him rather urgently? HMMM. Jack, it turns out, has hung in with the tutoring program, and in the time he and Tobey have been offscreen, they have apparently forged a comfortable, joshing friendship. But when Tobey suddenly drops off the grid, Jack wonders if it's really because he got mugged. Don't waste time: our episode on "Late" is here right on time!

DC S04.E18: Eastern Standard Time

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 05:15:00 +0000

It's Ditch Day for the seniors of Capeside High, but the ones we're watching are hardly enjoying carefree time off from school. Jen gets Joey to come with her for an interview with an admissions guy at the University of New York. Joey is excited to see all the sights on her list during her first-ever trip to the city, but she can tell Jen isn't doing so well and abandons her plans to look after her. Sure enough, the admissions meeting is just a cover story for Jen's long-delayed reckoning with her father. After Gretchen tells Dawson about the spontaneous road trip she took on HER Ditch Day, Dawson spontaneously decides to copy her, basically. If he'd thought about it just a little longer, he might have remembered that he no longer has a spare tire. Pacey still has junior classes to make up that he can't miss, but soon decides he can afford a Ditch Half-Day with Drue, who takes him to his favorite bar that doesn't card. If this seems like a bad idea for a kid whose dad is the local sheriff, you're way ahead of Pacey. Don't waste a minute before getting to our episode on "Eastern Standard Time"!

DC S04.E17: Admissions

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 05:15:00 +0000

It's April, which means envelopes fat and thin are arriving in Capeside. Joey is jealous of the pile of acceptances Jack secured for himself and Jen, but doesn't need to be for long: she finds out she's been admitted to Worthington at the very same moment Dawson hears he's been rejected by NYU Film School. While Gretchen bucks Dawson up by reminding him that Mr. Brooks never went to film school, and that Dawson could be inspired by real life and use his inheritance to make movies, everyone else is celebrating the first Potter to get into college. That abruptly stops when Joey finds out her financial aid package will still require her or her family to kick in $15,000 a year, and in this world -- where a high school guidance counselor doesn't tell a student about APPEALING HER FINANCIAL AID, A THING YOU CAN DO -- that means Worthington is off the table completely. While Joey tries (not very hard) to keep this disappointment a secret, Jen is having a hard time articulating to Jack or Tom why she doesn't want to consider any colleges in New York, home of the terrible parents with whom she still has unresolved issues. You, however, should resolve to listen to our latest episode on "Admissions"!

DC S04.E16: Mind Games

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 05:15:00 +0000

We're firmly in the last third of the episodes set in our cast's senior year of high school, which means it's time to reveal the winners of the senior poll. Somehow, Drue has weaseled his way into a position of moderate authority on the yearbook staff, apparently just to rig it so that the Class Couple is Joey...and Dawson?! Joey then has to downshift from acting like she doesn't care but is worried that Dawson will be upset (he's not) to finding out that Pacey's asking Gretchen to give him the house for the whole night accidentally tipped her that he and Joey are now Doing Sex, meaning Joey has to make sure Gretchen's not going to blab to Dawson. Gretchen and Dawson COULD be having their own perfectly nice night maybe doing sex themselves in his parents' empty house, but instead he has to go on and on about how great he thinks it is that when he asked Joey if she and Pacey are boning, she said no, and Gretchen simply has no poker face and just has to flee into the night rather than break Pacey's confidence. Over in their own silo, Jen has kicked her therapy up to three sessions a week, the better to make her way too curious about Tom; Jack is the very good friend who lets her bully him into joining her as she stalks Tom around town AND all the way to Wellfleet. WE aren't playing mind games with you in our episode on "Mind Games"; you will know exactly where we stand on everything!

DC S04.E15: Four Stories

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 05:15:00 +0000

After the events of the last episode, someone evidently decided the viewer needed to zoom in on various small groups of characters for some very intimate time. When Drue tricks Mr. Kasdan into leaving Joey and Pacey at the lodge, they discuss their night together, but Pacey's compliment-fishing puts Joey off. After Mr. Brooks's poorly attended offscreen funeral, Gretchen and Grams have to tag-team their efforts to keep Dawson from falling into despondency over the likelihood that his end will be the same as his friend's. Ordered into therapy after getting caught on the ski trip with liquor bottles, Jen puts on her brattiest manner to meet Dr. Tom Frost (Rob Nagle). And a chance run-in outside a showing of His Girl Friday sets up what could be the next big crisis in Joey and Dawson's friendship. We've got many words to say about "Four Stories"!

DC S04.E14: A Winter's Tale

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 05:15:00 +0000

That senior ski trip Joey debased herself for in the previous episode: it's here! Pacey's trying to be breezy about it, given the uncomfortable sex conversation he and Joey had about it last week, but Joey's making that difficult. Sharing a hotel room with a longtime boyfriend who loves you and wants to have undoubtedly very gentle sex with you? Joey, some people have real problems. Like, for instance, Jen, who can't stop slipping on ice and injuring herself, requiring herroommate Jack to look after her. The close quarters and liberated mini-bar lead them to some unexpected places. Back in Capeside, Mr. Brooks -- having ODed on his hoarded pills -- is in a coma. His doctor (Tony "Buster Bluth" Hale!) has to be the one to tell him the content of the "lawyer talk" on the paperwork Dawson signed in the last episode: Dawson is Mr. Brooks's health care proxy, so how long the hospital staff keeps Mr. Brooks technically alive is up to Dawson. He seeks counsel from everyone he knows, but it's one surprise visitor who proves the most instructive of all. Get cozy while we tell you all about "A Winter's Tale"!

DC S04.E13: Hopeless

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 05:15:00 +0000

Dawson is wrapping up his work on the A.I. Brooks documentary just as A.I. Brooks is wrapping up his affairs on earth, furtively hiding pills and getting Dawson to sign paperwork without giving him time to read it. Dawson might not have taken the time anyway, since he's focused on a big milestone with Gretchen: meeting her friends. Going out to a show with a couple of Gretchen's college friends throws their age difference into stark relief, as does Gretchen talking about him like he's less of a boyfriend and more of a boyfriend-shaped body pillow. Meanwhile, Joey is trying to barter a couple of precious weekend nights off work at the Yacht Club by making Drue's date with Anna, daughter to the Club board president, a double. Mrs. Valentine makes it clear she'll only grant the time off if Drue's date Anna has a great time, so both Joey and Pacey have to run interference to draw attention away from Drue's stank attitude. Tobey tries to take Jen's advice by being friends with Jack, suggesting that Jack join him tutoring middle school kids, which is extremely cute...at first. We hope you'll enjoy our episode on "Hopeless"!

DC S04.E12: The Te Of Pacey

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 05:15:00 +0000

Turning 18 puts a person through changes. For example, Pacey's decided HIS 18th birthday should be at a completely different time of year than his 16th. But never mind! He complains to Joey that his birthday is cursed, so all he wants to do this year is chill out at home with her, and she promises they will, and we all know that means she's implicated in his surprise party. The event -- to be held at the Witter family home -- coincides with what was to have been Gretchen and Dawson's first date, and Gretchen may be a little too eager to bag that plan in favor of her family obligation; she also makes it clear that although she's bringing him to the party, she doesn't want Joey or Pacey or anyone in her family to know she and Dawson are dating, if they even are, which Dawson obviously takes as a slight. While the birthday boy doesn't die of an accidental gunshot as happened at Scott Scanlon's birthday party, this one is...almost as bad. And Joey doesn't help by trying to ignore Pacey's dark mood and unhelpfully suggesting that he just try harder to get along with his awful parents. (By the way, playing his awful mother: Jane Lynch!) Elsewhere, Jen satisfies her last five community service hours giving safe rides to drunk teenagers, and you'll never guess what civic-minded homosexual also happens to volunteer with the organization: Tobey! Jen uses the occasion to talk up Jack, while Tobey tells her all about his hopelessly devoted James Dean-alike boyfriend Greg; calling him "perfect" not once but twice juuuuuuust might be a tell. You have the power to join us for our episode on "The Te Of Pacey"!

Special: The Southern Accent Showcase

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 05:15:00 +0000

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes chock full of drawl.

AWAWT 226: Let's Watch James Van Der Beek And Ali Larter In Varsity Blues!

In a small Texas town, high school football is everything. But when a golden Florida State-bound quarterback (Paul Walker) suffers a career-ending injury, can his Vonnegut-reading understudy (James Van Der Beek) save the season?! Also features Ali Larter and an unorthodox use of whipped cream.

AWAWT 230: Let’s Watch Luke Perry And Linden Ashby In 8 Seconds!

It seemed like every single interview with Luke Perry in the early ’90s talked about 8 Seconds, the bio-pic about rodeo star Lane Frost starring Perry and directed by Rocky helmer John G. Avildsen. But is all the ancillary intel around the movie more interesting than the movie itself? Shirtless Dylan, a lesser Baldwin, Shelley Tambo from Northern Exposure, Melrose‘s boring-est leading man, and an almost famous “buckle bunny” are all part of the conversation, so throw on some turquoise bracelets and join us!

DC S04.E11: The Tao Of Dawson

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 05:01:00 +0000

Dawson decides to be the change he wants to see in the world, telling Pacey directly that he like-likes Gretchen before anything really happens between them. Predictably, Pacey's not about it, which is why the timing is perfect for him to accompany her to her college town to pick up the car she left there: Pacey knows this will necessitate interaction between Gretchen and her ex-boyfriend Nick (Christian Kane, later of Angel and Leverage!), so Pacey can totally manipulate them into getting back together rather than have Gretchen get closer to Dawson! In theory! While Gretchen is out of his immediate vicinity, Dawson has awareness of other people -- specifically, Grams and Mr. Brooks, who have evidently gotten closer since Mr. Brooks's failed overtures at the Christmas party. What is Dawson's duty to Grams, knowing that Mr. Brooks is ill? Elsewhere in Capeside, Drue is very much not looking forward to a visit with his father, so it's just as well that he happens to shut them into a Yacht Club storage closet, then break off the knob. Don't fight the natural way of the universe: listen to our episode on "The Tao Of Dawson"!

DC S04.E10: Self Reliance

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 05:01:00 +0000

Everyone is abuzz about the big kiss at the party in the previous episode. What did it mean? Was it strictly mistletoe-related, or should everyone be monitoring Dawson and Gretchen for couple-iness? Joey is clearly preoccupied yet also unable to talk about it like an adult, biting Pacey's head off when he tries to bring it up and finally kicking him out because he's...being too nice and offering to take household responsibilities off her hands (like the care of Alexander while Bessie and Bodie are out of town). Joey's martyr complex has the worst possible consequence: she beefs an English test! OH NO!!!!! Meanwhile, when Dawson himself isn't dodging questions about the kiss and insisting that he and Gretchen are just friends, he's doing what everyone has been dying for: making another movie! He's excited to learn more about Mr. Brooks for his documentary project, but a little concerned that Mr. Brooks seems to be losing his grasp on movie trivia. Is Mr. Brooks...okay? In another silo, Jen gets an extremely reluctant Jack to join her for a trip to Provincetown for a Gay-Straight Alliance meetup. Jack instantly clashes with Toby (David Monahan), the seeming leader of the group, for daring to care about his and his friends' rights -- not that Toby helps himself by dismissing Jack as a straight-passing jock. You can rely on us for an episode about "Self Reliance"!

DC S04.E09: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 05:01:00 +0000

It's Christmastime, but don't get too excited for the merriment yet: college application stress looms over (nearly) everyone. Not Joey, of course, who's invited to a Yacht Club dinner for prospective students of Worthington University. She spends so much effort convincing Pacey to go that she completely forgets how much she clenches up any time she's near a cloth napkin or multi-fork table setting, and recedes into the background as Pacey charms the alumni rep. As for everyone else: Dawson watches Mr. Brooks's last movie, Turn Away, My Sweet and is blown away (my sweet) -- so much so, perhaps, that when he has to write his essay for his application to USC film school, he's only able to write around the prompt question of why he wants to be a filmmaker. Jack finishes all his applications and is concerned about the very vague answers Jen's giving about hers -- and about the silent treatment Grams is STILL giving her after the rave fiasco. Gretchen learns that the Leery Christmas parties she loved have a kid have been suspended in her absence the last few years due to...well, divorce; she convinces the Leerys to let her throw one at the house, which conveniently lets everyone use it to hash out their issues -- even Grams and Mr. Brooks! Dig out your mistletoe for Christmas in August, and our episode on "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"!

DC S04.E08: The Unusual Suspects

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 05:01:00 +0000

When Principal Peskin (Harry Shearer!) sees at the same time as most of his students that his little sailboat AND dog have been relocated into the indoor pool at Capeside High, he has GOT to find out who's behind the prank. When he narrows the suspects down to our three opening-credits boys, he and Mitch tag-team their interrogation of what they were each doing the previous day. We hear all about Pacey's ride-along with Doug; Dawson's discovery that Mr. Brooks also spent high school dreaming of a career directing films; and Jack replacing Andie with Jen for soccer duty, just in time for some of the gay-tolerant dads who DIDN'T pull their kids off the team to reveal that their support is conditional on Jack doing what they want with player assignments. Lurking at various points in everyone's stories is...Drue? Well, that's curious! We suspect you'll enjoy our episode on "The Unusual Suspects"!

DC S04.E07: You Had Me At Goodbye

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 05:01:00 +0000

In the wake of Andie's supposedly nearly fatal drug interaction at the rave, the Capeside friend group is in tatters. Even though Andie has been very clear in stating that Jen is not to blame for what happened, neither Jack nor Pacey can forgive her. When Jen won't oblige Drue by forsaking hope of making up with them and running to him instead, he schemes to FORCE her to spend time with him by confessing to his part in the drug handoff and getting them both sentenced to community service together. Meanwhile, Joseph has a wild suggestion for Andie: since she's already earned enough credits to leave high school right now, maybe she just...should? And go live with an aunt in Florence until it's time for commencement? Andie doesn't feel great about leaving when everyone is in a big fight, and feels even worse when Jack gives her the guilts about it. Speaking of guilt: the last piece of Joey's application to Williams College is a peer recommendation from the person who knows her best. Naturally, this becomes a whole thing as she has to decide whether that person is the one who's been at every pivotal moment since she was barely out of diapers, or the one who got to know every pore on her body when they were living in extremely close quarters for three months and not, say, THE ONE WHO'S KNOWN JOEY HER WHOLE LIFE AND RAISED HER AFTER THEIR MOTHER DIED. Say hello to our episode on "You Had Me At Goodbye"!

DC S04.E06: Great Xpectations

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

People have a lot to celebrate at the top of this episode. Andie finds out she got into Harvard! Dawson's parents decide to be parents...some more! What great timing: there's a rave for everyone to go dance their faces off! After Drue's spamming finally convinces Jen to go, she digs her un-birthday ecstasy out of her dresser just in time for Andie to see her with it. Jen's description of the drug experience is a little too exuberant -- particularly given that Andie's already disappointed that her antidepressants have flattened her highs along with the lows so that her academic achievement doesn't feel like anything at all -- and before you know it, Andie has snuck one of Jen's tabs. Dawson tags along with Pacey, Joey, and Gretchen, and in the car ride over Joey can't help noticing how flirty they seem and asks Gretchen if Dawson might think things are going anywhere with her. Gretchen laughs off the idea, but can't help returning to it. Crank up the Burkittsville 3: it's our episode on "Great Xpectations"!

DC S04.E05: A Family Way

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Remember a couple of episodes ago when Mitch had a cold and Gale had a stomach bug? Well, he's all better but she just can't shake it...because it's not a stomach bug, actually. When the home test turns pink, Mitch is unreservedly excited about it, but Gale's not sure adding a baby to their mountain of new-restaurant debt and the college tuition they're about to have to pay for the crappy kid they already have -- and the fact that the crappy kid they already have is already moping around jealous of the baby that isn't even here yet probably doesn't help. Dawson seeks advice from Gretchen, who already had to nudge the Leery men toward the obvious conclusion with regard to Gale's symptoms, and gets a lot more than he expected. Joey has noticed that Pacey keeps cutting off their makeout sessions when she would be fine continuing, and confides in Jen that she thinks he's getting frustrated that she's still not ready for sex. Jen is a very good friend who gives her very good advice about being prepared for sex whether she's currently ready or not; maybe Jen also could have told her about hiding her take-home package from the clinic in a place where someone else might chance upon it while putting away Joey's socks. Andie's latest scheme to buff up Jack's college applications is for them both to volunteer as youth soccer coaches, but when one player's sister comes on to Jack WAY too hard, Jack blurts that he's gay and immediately wishes he hadn't. Put your feet up -- pickles and ice cream optional -- and join us for our episode on "A Family Way"!

DC S04.E04: Future Tense

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Ms. Watson, the new guidance counselor, is meeting with all the seniors about, what else, their college plans. Andie, of course, has gone the early action route, so her schedule is clear to start harassing Jack about his plans -- which were already pretty vague even before he took a bad jump at football practice and dislocated his shoulder. Joey is confident about the prestigious schools she's looking at until Ms. Watson tells her that ranking fourth in her class is no guarantee of anything and a full scholarship anywhere is probably an impossible dream. Dawson is annoyed that everyone expects him to go to film school when there's so much more to him! Maybe! Pacey isn't even bothering to think about it. Jen is mainly focused on getting Drue to leave her alone, which isn't going to happen any time soon: he's told everyone it's her birthday and is throwing a rager in her honor. Yay, Drunk Joey's back! Your present just got better because we've brought you an episode on "Future Tense"!

Special: Let's Watch Two First Daughterseses!

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of first daughters.

AWAWT 190: Let's Watch Monica Keena And Doug Savant In First Daughter (1999)!

1999's TBS "action" movie First Daughter has a lot of hilariously fake stunts and log-like acting from Mariel Hemingway and Dominic Purcell (with hair!) -- but Monica Keena and Doug Savant bring more dimension and ease to their performances than we probably had the right to expect. Listen now for more on late-nineties tech and unrealistically outdoorsy teens!

AWAWT 191: Let's Watch Katie Holmes And Melissa Rivers In First Daughter (2004)!

Dawson's Creek girls STAY playing presidents' defiant daughters: just one week after we considered Monica Keena in the role in 1999's First Daughter, Katie Holmes and Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Marc Blucas bring us their romcom take on what it's like to be a teen girl with a father who's running the free world. Put a pin in any thorny questions you may have about anyone's domestic policies and join us!

DC S04.E03: Two Gentlemen Of Capeside

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

The worst storm in 30 years is on its way to Capeside, and no one seems to know but Grams and the editors of the Farmer's Almanac. Drue's obnoxious behavior in English class having doomed himself, Joey, and Dawson to have a three-way Two Gentlemen Of Verona debate for class the next day, prep is underway during Joey's Yacht Club shift. (Why are the future debate adversaries preparing together? It's more convenient for the plot that way, of course!) Presumably Joey's only getting away with all this slacking because Mrs. Valentine is an alumna of one of Andie's safety schools, and is busy interviewing Andie as a prospective applicant; their conversation quickly becomes an investigation of Andie's mental health. Since Joey couldn't join him, Pacey is celebrating his first-ever A by going sailing with Jen, which is why they're on the water -- with a dead radio -- when the storm starts to kick up. Once it gets too dangerous for Pacey to try to return to shore, he decides to head for a cove so secret he doesn't even know its name, but trusts that Dawson does. But given Dawson's record as a seaman, surely there's no one left in town who would let him borrow his boat, which is why it's a good thing that crotchety old Mr. Brooks (Harve Presnell!) showed up in his for his weekly prime rib special at the club, and that Drue knows where to find his spare keys. Find out whether anyone gets washed away in The Perfect Storm with our episode on "Two Gentlemen Of Capeside"!

DC S04.E02: Failing Down

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

School is back in session for the gang's senior year. Joey is excited to get through this to what's next, and Pacey's just excited to be around her. That only lasts until the end of the first day, when new temporary guidance counselor Mitch -- apparently on leave from his job as general manager of the restaurant -- calls Pacey in to tell him that instead of on the True Love he should have been in town making up the three junior classes he failed in summer school. Mitch alerts Dawson that Pacey's in big trouble, and though Dawson is a bitch about it, he does hear it when Mitch suggests that he pass the news on to someone who does care if Pacey lives or dies. Speaking of whom: Joey needs a job, and Andie recommends that she apply to wait tables at the yacht club, which is full of cute rich boys and big tips...here at the end of the tourist season. Never mind: Joey takes Andie's advice and lies about connections to big wigs on the club board, getting her hired on the spot, and putting her in the path of "Owen Ross," scion of the family she claimed to know. Jen is starting to get antsy that she hasn't heard from Henry in a while, but no, his email account isn't offline: he gets in touch with Jack just fine, wussily asking HIM to tell Jen Henry wants to take a break. Don't YOU take a break on us: things are looking up with our episode on "Failing Down"!

DC S04.E01: Coming Home

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

After three months at sea, Joey and Pacey are finally returning to Capeside just in time for their senior year of high school, and a lot has changed in their absence. Dawson's taken up photography. Dawson and Jack have started a house painting business. Jen is trying a long-distance relationship with Henry, who got recruited from football camp to a fancy private school. Doug and Pacey's sister Gretchen (Sasha Alexander, the future Isles of Rizzoli & Isles!) has taken a year off from college, and taken Pacey's spot on Doug's couch. Bessie has made the B&B profitable, perhaps in part by renting out her sister's room. Here's what hasn't changed: Dawson still sucks. Pacey and Joey decide how best to strategize about their reunion with Dawson (and boy, THAT'S probably something they didn't miss doing all summer) with an assist from Jen, trying to salve her guilt over her part in how Dawson found out about Joey and Pacey in the first place by easing Joey and Dawson back into each other's proximity. Does Dawson deserve this kid-glove treatment? You already know the answer! Deep in the background, Andie meets and flirts with a couple of French guys, one of whom looks a LOT like that gay kid Danny from the then-most recent season of The Real World in New Orleans! Prepare to dock for our episode on "Coming Home"!

We Take Your Calls VI

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

After all the heightened emotion of Season 3, we thought we should take a breath...to take your calls! Get ready to hear us -- and your fellow listeners -- muse about such topics as what sorts of local violence might have been visited upon Dawson during his summer in Philadelphia, how best to support friends and loved ones who loved Dawson when the show was first on, what it was like to work at a Dawson's-affiliated retailer at the turn of the millennium, and much much more! (Don't think YOU'RE getting off the hook, Sugarman.) Climb onto the nearest sailboat and listen!

DC S03.E23: True Love

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 26 May 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Since Gale and Mitch's second marriage is, let's face it, fake, they've thrown a ceremony together in a matter of days. They're also throwing Dawson and Joey together, because Gale -- (a) an adult woman who (b) works with one of Dawson's other very close friends -- has asked Joey to be her Maid Of Honor, meaning she and Best Man Dawson keep seeing each other on various nuptial errands. Even Dawson, however, is having an increasingly difficult time pretending that Joey wouldn't rather be elsewhere, particularly once she finds out about Pacey's plan to spend the summer sailing to Key West on the True Love. She's still so oppressed by her supposedly beautiful friendship with Dawson that she won't admit what she really wants. Will Pacey's choice to paint "ASK ME TO STAY" on the wall he rented for her change her mind? Jen is still pouting so much about Henry daring to go to football camp that Grams gets sick of it, throws Jen in the car with the McPhees, and hits the road to try to run down his bus so Jen can get over herself and kiss Henry before he goes to Ohio. It's a good start, but isn't Grams's other boarder Jack also carrying a torch for someone who might want a smooch from him...? It's no lie: we made all our sweethearts (you) a new episode about "True Love"!

DC S03.E22: The Anti-Prom

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 19 May 2025 09:00:00 +0000

It's the penultimate episode of the season on a high school show, so of course it's time for the big dance! Dawson dredges up some long-ago pact that if he and Joey were both single, they'd go together as friends, and she agrees to honor it even though she clearly knows friendship is the last thing on his mind. Andie pretends to be entertaining several invitations to save face with Pacey. After making a huge production about how retrograde the prom concept is, Jen invites Henry. And Jack is planning to bring Ethan, until the ticket-selling troll tells him it's not allowed. Andie and Joey are ready to boycott the event, but then Dawson gets the idea that they throw a competing dance for the two gay guys and everyone else who'd rather be on their side. When Pacey does finally invite Andie, the stage is set for Dawson to rub Pacey's face in Dawson's continuing ability to control Joey. Oh and also Gale and Mitch are fooling around again, but we're trying so, so hard not to acknowledge them at all. Even though most people have an anti-good time at the event, you should still listen to our episode on "The Anti-Prom"!

DC S03.E21: Show Me Love

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 12 May 2025 09:00:00 +0000

The summer tourist season is kicking off in Capeside with a regatta. This might have been a low-key race for new sailor Pacey and the True Love, the little boat that could, if it were happening a couple of weeks earlier. Unfortunately, we're in the post-discovery era, so Dawson has to Dawson all over it. Leery's Fresh Fish is sponsoring the True Love? Fine: Dawson will just enter Joseph McPhee's boat, the Carpe Diem; THEN ask the McPhee siblings if he may use it; THEN pay the sponsorship fee himself but sail on behalf of the Potter B&B. When will he have time to learn the rules of sailing? Great question: he won't, and that's going to be a problem. In the far background, Jen has been giving Henry the silent treatment ever since he tried to fool around with her when Grams wasn't home, so he's been holding a silent vigil everywhere she goes, holding up a sign asking her to forgive him. No one is sufficiently annoyed by this behavior, least of all Jen. Show US love by listening to our episode on "Show Me Love"!

DC S03.E20: The Longest Day (Corrected)

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 05 May 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Production Note: This version fixed issues with Sarah's audio.

It seems as though, once Joey broke the seal in the last episode and initiated a kiss with Pacey, they basically have not stopped kissing since. And that's a problem, because the longer they wait, the worse it's going to be when Dawson finds out. The plan is for Pacey to tell him. But then Joey stops him and says SHE should be the one to tell him. But then Dawson interrupts and it kind of seems like NO ONE has to tell him...but how could that be? It turns out that this day was unusually eventful, so we see the events from Pacey's, then Joey's, and then Dawson's perspectives, as Capeside's biggest secret is finally told. This may not be our shortest episode, because it's about "The Longest Day"!

DC S03.E19: Stolen Kisses

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0000

It's spring break, but of course Capeside's biggest nerds aren't going to Fort Lauderdale: they're heading to Vermont for what is apparently their traditional visit with Dawson's Aunt Gwen (Julie Bowen!). Pacey wasn't going to come, but the kids' old and previously never-mentioned friend Will Krudski (Rodney Scott) made a surprise visit to pull a Jake Hanson-- er, tell us all his deal as a working-class ne'er-do-well with daddy issues and a heart of gold and then leave for his own show (spoiler?), and since there's nothing to do in Capeside, they're going to an even smaller and duller town. Also joining is Andie, because someone has to have a crush on Will to make us think he's a viable leading man. Will Dawson stop thinking about his own reinvention long enough to notice all the eye-fucking Pacey and Joey are doing? Apparently not before their first night at Gwen's, because the sleeping arrangements end up putting Joey and Pacey in the one bed together for It Happened One Night high jinks. Back in Capeside, Fresh Fish server Shelley (Sarah Lancaster) has the hots for new busboy Henry, and Jen's not just telling her they're dating because otherwise they wouldn't have a plotline; and the surprise death of a longtime friend has Gale and Mitch reflecting on what they've lost...and could possibly regain? Close your eyes and lean in for our episode on "Stolen Kisses"!

DC S03.E18: Neverland

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Our joy at Pacey and Joey FINALLY having a good kiss is ruined by...well, Joey, acting like she didn't like it and isn't interested, so that Pacey, embarrassed, decides to pretend he didn't mean it. Bessie tells Joey to talk about it with a friend, since nothing Bessie is saying is what Joey seems to want to hear (okay advice); Doug tells Pacey to take Dawson somewhere nostalgic to remind him about their long and meaningful friendship, then tell him what's going on (great advice?). Unfortunately -- for all of us, really -- Buzz and two of his little buddies somehow track Pacey and Dawson to their old fort in the woods and crash their camping trip. And a girls' night out for Joey is complicated by the presence of Andie, who still doesn't seem to be totally over Pacey. It's also complicated for Jen, who seems like she mostly agrees to the hang because she's hurt that Henry didn't ask her to his birthday party, then gets a big surprise when she and the girls hit up the roller rink. Jack is trying to have a TOTALLY PLATONIC boys' weekend with Ethan while Mr. McPhee is out of town on a business trip, but it turns out Mr. McPhee has cancelled that trip, unbeknownst to Jack, and seems determined not to notice that three's a crowd. Second star to the right and straight on till our episode on "Neverland"!

DC S03.E17: Cinderella Story

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0000

AJ's about to be the youngest person in his department at Unnamed College to something something no one cares, and Joey's going back to Boston to be his date for a night of listening to him read his writing and then do some ballroom dancing. Pacey warns her not to get too caught up in the fantasy, tamping down her excitement before she's even gotten on the train. It's just as well, since AJ's so caught up in prep for the event that he sends his lifelong best friend Morgan -- a GIRL Morgan -- to retrieve Joey and unintentionally show off all the history AJ and Morgan share. (She even knows his actual first name!) Pacey has his own annoying boy to deal with: Buzz (Jonathan Lipnicki!), his new mentee. Making Buzz help with boat refurbishment leads to a conversation about whom the True Love was named for and whether Pacey has even kissed her yet -- something that seems to strike a resonant chord in Pacey, such that by the end of the episode, everything's changed. Way off in a whole other part of town, Dawson is still helping Gale set up her new and as-yet unnamed restaurant, though it doesn't take long for him to make her wish he had anything else to do. Take off your glass slippers and get comfy: we made you a new episode on "Cinderella Story"!

DC S03.E16: To Green, With Love

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0000

When Principal Green expelled him in the last episode, Matt Caufield warned him that his father was going to come after Principal Green with everything he had, and he wasn't lying: the episode opens with outraged parents screaming through an emergency meeting about this supposed attack on a boy who was just playing a prank. Also outraged: Gale, when she sees that her former intern Sherry, now a field reporter, is on the scene filing the first of several obviously biased pieces about the situation. Pacey suggests to a fired-up Joey that she should organize a protest -- something she doesn't quite hear until AJ tells her the same thing. When Gale complains to Dawson about Sherry's uninformed reporting, Dawson convinces her that the two of them could put together their own one-camera shoot telling the true story. But not everyone is on the right side of history: a concerned citizen vaguely threatening Bessie's business has her too stressed to join Joey's revolution. Listen to our podcast on "To Green, With Love," made cordially yours by the two of us.

DC S03.E15: Crime & Punishment

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0000

The school board and PTA have selected several student artists to create murals on the walls of Capeside High School, and Joey -- who recently remembered art was something she used to be into -- is one of them! Her concept involves a Chinese hanzi even though she's not Chinese herself, as far as we know; nevertheless, it is still sad when her work ends up getting vandalized. Pacey takes a break from tormenting his new roommate, Deputy Doug, to go on the case of who ruined Joey's work and ends up...well, exactly where you'd probably expect after a new rich jerk was just introduced in the last episode. Principal Green is thrilled to tell Andie that her PSAT scores put her in the top 50,000 students and on track for a National Merit Scholarship. This shakes something loose in her; quitting the disciplinary committee is just the beginning. You'll only be punishing yourself if you skip our episode on "Crime & Punishment"!

DC S03.E14: Valentine's Day Massacre

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Joey does NOT have Valentine's Day plans with "college boy," so what will the gang be doing for the Hallmarkiest of holidays? Attending an ANTI-Valentine's Day party thrown by Matt Caulfield, some rich jerk from school we've never heard of before -- and since the event is very secret and exclusive so it doesn't get raided by cops, finding it requires a little tradecraft. Everyone should be motivated to figure out where to go, since they have a visitor to impress: Kate (Alexandra Breckenridge!), Jack's ex-girlfriend from Rhode Island. She's fresh off a breakup, so Pacey decides the best way to get her through it is for Dawson to try to hook up with her -- and you KNOW Joey is as judgy about that as she was about the party itself until she actually showed up for it. Elsewhere, it's finally time for the date Henry and Jen have been talking about for several episodes. Henry got the meal comped, but still wants to arrive with a gift, and the best way he can think of to make some quick cash is not to do more odd jobs for his elderly benefactress but to sell his plasma...a lot. We HEART you, so we brought you an episode on "Valentine's Day Massacre"!

DC S03.E13: Northern Lights

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0000

It's time for the play! Andie's stressed as hell, and that's BEFORE Mr. Broderick has a medical emergency that requires her to take over for him entirely! Even though Joey's been helping Pacey run his lines, he still isn't off-book and NEEDS her to be there opening night! But...she can't, because she has a date with AJ to attend a northern lights party with a bunch of old nerds! The play is also Jen's excuse for postponing her big dinner out with Henry, but when he calls her bluff, she has no reason to say why he shouldn't attend the show with her! As for Dawson: he's still in such crisis about his true purpose in life that he's DROPPED FILM CLASS!!! Find somewhere comfortable to watch the skies: we're here to tell you all about "Northern Lights"!

Joey and Bessie's new bed & breakfast has finally opened, but since they spent every cent on the construction and left nothing for promotion, they don't actually have any guests. (They can't even ask their old friend Gale to do a puff piece on the opening, since she's been crapping out at every network she's applied to for a new job in journalism.) Pacey takes it upon himself to track down Fred Fricke, the biggest tastemaker in B&Bs, to come review the place for the New York Times travel section -- which would be a good idea maybe a month in when Bessie and Joey have worked out some of the kinks, but maybe not right now when there's still a room under construction and there aren't any guests. Pacey then tries to fix the fix by asking all their loved ones to come fill up the place for Fricke's benefit, and since Mitch brings Gale, that sends Dawson into a tailspin. Sharing accommodations isn't something Jack and Andie have done lately, as she keeps reminding him -- on, he assumes, their father's orders. But is Joseph even the one who's anxious for Jack to move back home? Henry isn't part of the staycation crew, but he has just arranged a dinner for two at Jen's favorite Capeside restaurant, so he's very much on her mind. Won't you join us for "A Weekend In The Country"?

DC S03.E11: Barefoot At Capefest

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Remember Ethan, the gay prep school kid Jack met on the train back from Boston? He's returned home again for Capefest, an ill-defined free music festival that seems to be mainly about camping on the beach. Though Jack is apparently not a fan of popular music, he is easily convinced to come hang out, making Jen come as backup. Also attending? Henry, a veggie burger-grilling, Bruce Springsteen-covering renaissance man who has absolutely no interest in Jen and her inconsistent attempts at platonic friendship. Nikki has embedded herself in the Capeside High film department, getting the extremely offscreen Mr. Jordan to break all the rules of equipment loans so she can use it to work on her latest project. When Dawson decides to take his righteous indignation to her house, it backfires into an invitation for dinner from the adorably proud Principal Green, and exposure to her bedroom and values causes Dawson to experience a crisis of...well, interior design. Andie has decided to volunteer as Assistant Director on the school production of Barefoot In The Park, partly as a distraction from her feelings about her breakup with Pacey, but her plans go to hell when she finds out the English teacher directing the play has recruited Pacey specially to be his male lead. We'd Courtney Love it if you listened to our episode on "Barefoot At Capefest"!

DC S03.E10: First Encounters Of The Close Kind

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Four Capesiders give Boston the old college try.

DC S03.E09: Four To Tango (Corrected)

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Pacey's got problems all over his life. His FWB arrangement with Jen still hasn't led to any actual sex because they've never quite recaptured the magic of their one good kiss on Witch Island. He's failing most of his classes, so he needs Joey's help to get him through midterms, and the cost for the latter is partnering her in a ballroom class so that she can try to win the dance school's college scholarship. AND his asking her advice about his hypothetical no-strings sex friend is a big mistake, since there are only so many possible candidates. Plus, after sneaking in to Dawson's room to attempt sex, Pacey left a condom on the floor, and Dawson's on the hunt to find out what's going on. Since he starred in Gale's human interest story, Jack has started getting emails, including from another gay kid who only lives two towns over. Andie hectors him until he sets up a date, but is he actually ready? Put on your swishiest skirt and listen to our episode on "Four To Tango"!

DC S03.E08: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It's Thanksgiving, and the plan is for everyone to gather at Grams's house -- even Pacey, since his family eats later, presumably because everyone hopes his dad gets drunk enough to sleep through it? Gale is living in the Leery guest room while she, and somehow not Mitch, looks for an apartment; Dawson is suspicious of how pleasantly they're getting along. Joey is missing her poor dead mom today more than usual. Andie's plan is to make dinner for Jack and her dad, but then Joseph gets stuck in Chicago so they have to come to Grams's too so that Andie can be weird around Pacey. Only Jen is really having a great day and looking forward to fooling around with Pacey later, per their new FWB arrangement...so it's too bad for her when she opens her bedroom door and sees her mother Helen (Mel Harris!) standing there. What does Dawson do with his secret knowledge of Helen's past? How much does Joey bum everyone out with her orphan-osity? Do Jen and Pacey ever manage to bone??? We hope YOU will be our guest for our episode on "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner"!

DC S03.E07: Escape From Witch Island

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Almost four months after becoming a shock box office hit, The Blair Witch Project still has a stranglehold on culture, if we want to be generous and use that term to describe Dawson's Creek. The core four are reading The Crucible in English class, and naturally Dawson decided that he's too special to do assignments as assigned; he's convinced Principal Green -- who's teaching their class to free Mitch up for football stuff, presumably -- to let him make a documentary about a local witch legend. ("Isn't The Crucible kind of...not really about the Salem witch trials?" We'll get into it.) He'd already arranged to have Pacey and Jen "help" so that they could also blow off their papers, and when a desperate Joey runs into the video store to rent The Crucible because she's run out of time to read the play AND the last copy is gone, Dawson belatedly remembers she exists and offers to let her in on the scheme too. On the island, the kids ignore warnings not to get lost in the woods or stay past dark. Joey and Dawson also ignore good taste and make the story of the one accused witch whose body was never found, and whose dalliance with her true love led to her conviction in the first place, into a stand-in for their own stupid relationship problems. Meanwhile, Jen finds a love spell in a gift shop book and decides to try it out on Pacey, for sport. Back home, Andie lets the tiny amount of power Principal Green granted her on the student disciplinary committee go straight to her head, and her citation-writing hand. Stay where you are for our episode on "Escape From Witch Island"!

DC S03.E06: Secrets And Lies

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It was just one episode ago when Dawson thought he'd discovered a link between Eve and Jen, but that's not the titular secret -- it's about Gale and therefore much more boring. Jen wouldn't have time to deal with the bombshell of a possible half-sister anyway: as Capeside's latest Homecoming Queen, she has the responsibility of...planning a gala for fifty years' worth of past Queens? When Jen visits apparently the oldest Queen, Miss Constance Freckling (K Callan!) to try to weasel out of it, she has a bee-facilitated interlude with Henry, aka Miss Freckling's handyboy "Hank." Pacey is keeping busy enlisting members of the police auxiliary to help turn the Potter cottage into a B&B, but drops everything when Andie calls Joey crying that Rob committed sexual misconduct against her, but then won't agree to report him to the authorities. Joey's like, "Hmmmmmmmm." We're like, "Uuuuuuuugh." It's no secret OR lie that we've brought you a new episode -- listen now!

DC S03.E05: Indian Summer

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Dawson has arrived at the film noir section of his film class, and why not -- he's living in one, what with femme fatale Eve mysteriously popping up and disappearing all the time, making him feel like a mark! He's just snapped off The Lady From Shanghai when he notices shady doings across the way at Grams's place, and wouldn't you know it: the person creeping around with a flashlight is none other than Eve, who immediately tries to deflect questions about what she was doing by hitting on Dawson. When that doesn't work, she threatens blackmail with the stolen PSAT. Dawson is so fired up that he does some actual PI work! Is the information he uncovers worth the trouble he gets in with Doug? Henry is still so smitten with Jen that Jack tries causing a date to break out spontaneously without Henry's having to ask Jen (since he is physically unable to speak to her). And when Joey finds out that her latest rejection sent Rob after Andie, she takes extreme measures to protect her friend. Fire up the fan, but not too loud: we brought you an episode on "Indian Summer"!

DC S03.E04: Home Movies

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We are NOT here for football, and yet it keeps happening to us! Offscreen Gale gives Dawson an opportunity to produce a human interest piece for a national news broadcast, completely on his own. He decides to do something about Jack, the gay football star, and gets signoff from everyone except Jack's coach, Mitch. Jen is also implicated in football culture when the other cheerleaders make a kiss from her a prize in a silent auction, and is so appalled that she resigns as head cheerleader (although events leading up to this do suggest that she was ready to do that regardless and the auction just provided a convenient pretext). Now sprung from his relationship with Andie, Pacey involves Joey in his latest shenanigans; getting caught cutting class for a trip to the post office lands them an unorthodox and moderately punishment from Principal Green that -- get this -- ALSO braids into the football storyline. Andie is trying to put her PSAT cheating in the rearview, but when Principal Green tells her he needs to see her about a disciplinary matter, it revs up her paranoia. You won't need a VHS OR a Betamax to enjoy our episode on "Home Movies"!

DC S03.E03: None Of The Above

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The entire junior class is in a tizzy about the imminent PSAT, the practice for the test that could possibly determine the entire course of their lives. But maybe they don't ALL have to stress about it so much: somehow, Eve comes into possession of a copy, which -- in her established role as a chaos agent -- she gives to Dawson. Then, he lets all his closest friends know he has it so that they can tell him what to do about it; unfortunately, that's when they all have to go outside for a fire drill, leaving their stuff, and when they come back in...the test is gone. Suspicions start flying around as to who the culprit could be, and the complete lack of evidence, apart from past behavior possibly informing actions in the present, doesn't stop Dawson making some pretty uncharitable AND unfounded accusations. Meanwhile, football is apparently still happening whether we like it or not. Jack suspects his teammates are being extra-hard on him for homophobic reasons; Henry tries to help him so that Jack might return the favor by getting him a proper introduction to his dream girl, Jen. Sharpen your #2 pencil and join us for our podcast on "None Of The Above"!

DC S03.E02: Homecoming

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Mitch is, as we learned in the premiere, Capeside High's football coach, and both he and Principal Green are very focused on turning around the team's years-long losing streak. (This contradicts what we were told about now long-gone football star Cliff, but never mind; he's in a better place.) Mitch and the principal thus enlist Dawson to create a promotional film for the team, and somehow he finds the time around condom shopping, because Eve is still around -- now as a Capeside senior -- and still very openly coming on to Dawson whenever she sees him. It's too bad Dawson can't use footage of the current team, because freshman quarterback Henry Parker (Michael Pitt) is actually good, and by chance finds the wide receiver of his dreams in Jack, whom Mitch soon drafts to join the team; this should provide a nice break for Jack from worrying about why his dad, who has moved his business to Capeside so that Andie can resume her studies there, doesn't want Jack to join them. Speaking of Andie: she's inconveniently released from her residential treatment center days in to the school year. Pacey is overwhelmed with excitement about getting to pick her up -- after having apparently only written emails and letters the whole time she was gone -- but when he gets there, he finds her with a boy, and then seems to be avoiding Pacey whenever he tries to get some time alone with her. HMMMMM. Come home to our latest episode on "Homecoming"!

DC S03.E01: Like A Virgin

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Dawson, returning from spending his whole offscreen summer in Philadelphia with Gale, ends up on a bus next to a very confident pixie-cut blonde. When she disappears after he apparently bores them both to sleep yammering about Joey, he assumes he'll never see her again. He assumes wrong, and is no match for her aggressive come-ons. Her sexual overtures while Dawson's out driving them around in Mitch's boat lead Dawson to make some reckless choices with expensive consequences; knowing this girl works at the local exotic dance establishment, Pacey gets the idea to knock off Risky Business with a stripper party at the Leery house. Through all this, Joey has alternated between parrying the unwanted attention of Rob Logan, her new boss at the marina, and regretting the way she told Dawson off in the Season 2 finale. Roomies Jen and Jack have reached a new level of platonically intimate friendship and are so adorable even Grams seems like they're giving her a cavity -- but in a fun way! Less fun: the tyranny of cheer captain Belinda McGovern, who is terrorizing her classmates with slut-shaming and fatphobia. Jen notices, apparently for the first time, and decides to fight back by trying out for the cheerleading team. But what you really want to know is whether her hair has grown back out: we're thrilled to let you know it has. You made it through the wilderness of our two-week holiday break: welcome back to our episode on "Like A Virgin"!

Special: A Very Disastrous Holiday

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of SPIDERS?! and death traps.

AWAWT 092: Let's Watch Thomas Calabro, Patrick Muldoon, AND Vanessa Williams In Ice Spiders!

What happens when a top-secret scientific task force tries to breed gigantic spiders in order to harvest their extremely strong and versatile silk? Well, the spiders break out and menace a ski resort. Obviously. Find out how three ex-Melrose Place stars acquitted themselves in the process!

AWAWT 144: Let’s Watch Jack Wagner AND Gabrielle Carteris In Trapped: Buried Alive!

2002’s labored, spark-less Trapped: Buried Alive features an avalanche (of laughable CGI), nonstop bickering, a bratty stepdaughter, gas leaks, Shatnerian line deliveries, and one of the few pregnant women in scripted entertainment NOT to go into labor during a natural disaster. Everyone’s trying…but very little of it’s working. Put down that crossbody full of cash and have a listen!

Special: A Very Priestley Christmas

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of Jasons Priestly.

AWAWT 123: Let's Watch Jason Priestley In Christmas At Tiffani's!

In this special holiday episode of Dinner At Tiffani's, our titular hostess -- with some assistance from her real husband, Brady Smith -- throws a dinner party for two of her TV husbands, the guy who was her 90210 love interest for a few seconds in one season finale, and their wives. Cheese is on the menu in more ways than one.

AWAWT 171: Let's Watch Jason Priestley And Liz Vassey In The Christmas Episode Of Tru Calling!

Did you know that Jason Priestley was basically a series regular on Tru Calling, Fox's mid-00s sci-fi show as a guy who could see dead people's last moments, and go back in time, or...something? We didn't, and after watching the series finale -- which also features recurring guest star Liz "Marcie St. Claire" Vassey! -- we still don't totally get what was happening in this thing.

DC S02.E22: Parental Discretion Advised

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Dawson has a secret and REALLY wishes he didn't. Hoping to avoid telling Joey about her dad's return to drug dealing, he takes Gale's advice and goes straight to Mike, telling him what he knows in the hopes that Mike will...knock it off? Or something? Instead, The Icehouse gets firebombed while all the cocaine -- oh, and also all the kids we know -- are inside. The situation does bring Pacey's dad, Sheriff Witter, back onto the scene to be an even bigger jerk than he was the last time we saw him, which is saying something. The Leerys -- other than their poor boundaries with regard to adult/child friendship -- remain the best in parent class, Gale's decision to leave Capeside for the job in Philadelphia also causes some minor turmoil. Fortunately, we'll always have Grams to model chosen family goals. Warning: parental discretion IS advised for our episode on...well, you know.

DC S02.E21: Ch... Ch... Ch... Changes

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Jack having resolved, at the end of the last episode, to call his dad for help with Andie since he couldn't put it off a single second longer, Joseph arrives with a distinctly unhelpful announcement: he's selling the house and bringing the kids back to Providence so that both Andie AND her extremely offscreen mother can get full-time medical care. This is, of course, bad news: Andie doesn't want to say goodbye to the best boyfriend any teenaged girl ever had, and Jack doesn't want to resume living with a parent who definitely hasn't accepted Jack's coming out (and barely accepted him before that anyway). The McPhees' possible relocation has Jen wondering if it's time for her to leave Capeside too, but a call home to HER extremely offscreen mother lets her know that at least one move she took for granted as an option may no longer be available. After his stressful dinner with Miss Kennedy in the last episode, Dawson is stressed out about his final film assignment, but his idea of interviewing the people around him to describe their "character arcs" over the past year results in him learning more about Joey's dad than he wanted to. Turn and face the strange: our episode on "Ch... Ch... Ch... Changes"!

DC S02.E20: Reunited

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

However Joey and Dawson might classify whatever they're currently doing relationship-wise, they've been doing it for a month, so Dawson is taking her out for dinner at Capeside's fanciest French restaurant, Entre Nous. Except oh no, when Dawson made his reservation two weeks ago, the maître d' didn't realize there were TWO Leery parties of two, and he's already seated the only one he thought he had that night, which is how Joey and Dawson end up celebrating their month-iversary with Mitch and Miss Kennedy. (No offense to the maître d' but it's probably crap like this that has you working a fine dining establishment in a dying Massachusetts fishing town.) Jen is now crashing at the Leery house, and Gale seems to appreciate having an inappropriately young gal pal to talk to about all her problems. But when she burns the pot roast she'd been making for their girls' night, they decide to dress up and hit the town and you will NEVER GUESS where they ALSO end up!!! Meanwhile, Andie hasn't seen any Abby apparitions since the day of her funeral a month ago, but a mysterious and intense young man has been hanging around, reminding her that no one can find out about what they have. Who is he? Are Andie and Pacey going to be okay? Is an actual adult going to notice that all the literal children in this episode NEED HELP and intervene?! Order yourself some French onion soup and enjoy our episode on "Reunited"!

DC S02.E19: Rest In Peace

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

As the news of Abby's passing spreads through Capeside, everyone gets a chance to make it about them. Girls at school who were definitely not Abby's friends distribute yellow armbands in her memory. Jen displaces her guilt onto Andie, then starts drinking. Andie -- worried that Jen might be right when she says Abby would still be alive if Andie hadn't kicked her and Jen out of the wedding -- doesn't correct Mrs. Morgan about her supposed friendship with Abby, AND agrees to deliver a eulogy at her funeral. Jack realizes he may have been the last person to kiss Abby before her death. Joey tries to keep a lid on her feelings so old grief about her mother's death three years earlier doesn't boil over. And Dawson takes the opportunity to rewatch all the footage he shot of Abby for Creek Daze -- which he might as well, if only to take his mind off the possibility that Gale is going to take a fancy network job in Philadelphia and leave him behind. Find a comfortable spot (satin pillow optional) and join us for our episode on "Rest In Peace"!

DC S02.E18: A Perfect Wedding

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The Icehouse caters a wedding for Capeside blue-bloods! What could go wrong?! (Actually, it's...mostly fine.)

DC S02.E17: Psychic Friends

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Dawson has a new teacher for film class, and (presumably) unlike Mr. Gold, she has an actual track record: Nicole Kennedy (Mädchen Amick!) is in town on sabbatical to write a screenplay and is just teaching as a lark? Also teaching as a lark: Mitch, who has apparently taken over Mr. Peterson's course load. Dawson's being as normal about it as he is able, but Mitch is not able to be normal about him, and bragged so much about his movie in the teachers' lounge that Miss Kennedy asks Dawson about it. He's excited...at first! Joey and Jack have fallen into the post-breakup friendship groove she and Dawson couldn't quite manage. At the fair, he urges her to talk to another artist -- a college freshman photographer named Colin -- and he ends up being so taken with her beauty that he gets her to pose for him. Andie seeks a reading from a psychic at the fair, then wishes she hadn't. And Jen tries to make a love connection for Grams and Whit, another vendor at the fair that Grams already knows -- but is she ready to consider reopening that chapter? Spirit is telling us you will enjoy our episode on "Psychic Friends"!

DC S02.E16: Be Careful What You Wish For

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Dawson Leery makes the world bend to his will most of the time, so you can just imagine how much more of a monster he is around his birthday -- or, actually, you don't have to, because that's what this whole episode is about. As if Joey doesn't have enough on her mind right now in the hours after her second-ever boyfriend came out as gay, Dawson has decided that the thing that will make him feel complete is getting her back. Joey is, in fact, working harder on their friendship, including throwing a surprise party for him, which is why Pacey makes plans to get Dawson out of the house during party setup. Unfortunately for Pacey, Dawson is coming to their night out straight from getting shot down by Joey in an attempt to reconcile; also unfortunately for Pacey, Andie's coming with them and she's on therapist's orders to have a night of imperfection. Both Andie AND Dawson throw themselves into acting out, with disastrous consequences for both the party and for the musical art form known as The Blues. If what YOU wished for is an episode on "Be Careful What You Wish For"...it came true!

DC S02.E15: ...That Is The Question

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 09:00:00 +0000

As Pacey wraps up his week's suspension, Capeside High is still abuzz with speculation about Jack's sexuality -- including from a very offscreen Mr. Milo, who's given up on getting Mrs. McPhee in to the school to discuss the situation (thanks to Andie running interference) and calls their dad to make his first-ever on-camera visit to town. Mr. McPhee endures Andie's nonstop chatter over dinner, then turns his attention to Jack to make sure he knows that if he were gay, he would take it as a personal insult. Elsewhere, Joey is, seemingly, under near-constant torment as to whether the rumors about Jack could be true, and getting moderately bad advice about it from, who else, Dawson. Ty also decides to weigh in, telling Jen he doesn't know why Joey would waste her time with a "fruit fly" (no) like Jack. The answer to what you should spend your time on today is: our episode on "...That Is The Question"!

DC S02.E14: To Be Or Not To Be...

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Jack is suddenly in Mr. Peterson's class with Pacey and no one else we know for not-at-all-contrived reasons: everyone is assigned to write a poem, but Jack is the only one Mr. Peterson calls on to read it aloud. Jack is upset enough by the reading to flee the class crying, and that combined with the fact that the subject was male causes the rumor to spread with lightning speed: Jack is gay. Joey shrugs it off until Dawson urges her to ask him. Pacey can't help noting that Andie isn't being very supportive. And the next day, when Mr. Peterson isn't done victimizing Jack, Pacey gets involved, and so do his mucus membranes. After taking Jen to Bible study didn't exactly inflame her desire to see Ty again, he decides to show her there's more to him than reading scripture for fun. Tisn't nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune: duck and listen to our episode on "To Be Or Not To Be..." instead!

DC S02.E13: His Leading Lady

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 09:00:00 +0000

It's so fortunate that Dawson happened to stop by Joey's art class the day she was sketching nude female Devon (Rachael Leigh Cook!) because it turns out she's also a drama student at the college and she's PERFECT to play "Sammy" in his movie...which is starting production mere hours after Dawson casts her! Jen's been busily lining up volunteers. Jack agrees even though he and Dawson only stopped openly hating each other in the last episode. Ty agrees because he's got a crush on Jen -- and she seems just as interested in him. Andie agrees even though her meds (an empty bottle of which Pacey finds in her trash) don't seem to be calibrated quite right. Grams agrees, and yay, it's been weeks since we saw her! Joey agrees, not knowing how uncomfortable it's going to be to watch people she barely knows perform barely disguised scenes from her real life. It's a real bad time for nearly everyone. Boston Film Festival, you have a LOT to answer for. Our latest episode on "His Leading Lady" will tell you whether She is, in fact, All That!

DC S02.E12: Uncharted Waters

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The Capeside we heard way back at the end of Season 1 was wrapping up its tourist season is, months later, having a fishing contest. Pacey is going with his father John even though they hate each other. Mitch is going even though he knows nothing about fishing, so Dawson is going too, for the bonding. And: surprise! Jack is also going because Andie asked Pacey to invite him, and whoops, Pacey forgot to warn Dawson that his nostrils were in for a workout well before he gets anywhere near smelly bait. Back at home, Jen comes up with a segment idea for Gale's newscast (?) about teen girl consumers (??) and invites some teen girls she knows, including Abby (???). Gale's ability to tolerate Abby is limited even though Joey is being almost as bitchy as the show's designated bitch. Don't bother with a map: you won't need it to find our episode on "Uncharted Waters"!

DC S02.E11: Sex, She Wrote

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Conveniently -- almost TOO conveniently, you might say -- Mr. Peterson's English class has arrived at its unit on mysteries. Abby blows off his first attempt to get her to give her presentation. Then, thanks to Chris's eagle-eyed spotting of a folded note abandoned on the classroom floor, a mystery falls into her lap and inspires Abby to attempt a project that's a little unorthodox: solving the mystery of who wrote this letter about the sex they just had and why they and their partner should cool it for a little while. She determines that it's one of three couples in and near the class: Jack and Joey; Jen and Dawson; and Andie and Pacey. Who will Abby's nosy investigation expose (as it were), and will it be enough to keep her from flunking the assignment and consigning herself to summer school?! Cozy up to the mystery with our episode on "Sex, She Wrote"!

DC S02.E10: High Risk Behavior

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Upon Andie's request, Pacey has gotten an HIV test, and presents her with his negative results. She makes sure he understands this isn't an immediate green light for them to have sex, and he's like, "I know, that's fine," and she's like, "Wait, you DON'T want to have sex with me?" and suddenly it's the only topic they're talking about -- other than when he runs into her in the drugstore and accosts her to interrogate her about the prescription she just picked up. She claims the anti-anxiety meds are for her mother, with whom she shares a first name, but: watch this space. Art student Joey has progressed to nude figure drawing; Jack is very complimentary about her first attempt, which is why it's unfortunate when FAMOUSLY CLUMSY JACK spills his drink all over it. He doesn't want her to fail the assignment, so there's just one thing for it: he will pose nude for her! What could go wrong? Dawson has finished his script and started auditions with his new producer Jen. He does not appreciate literally everyone telling him they don't know why his characters don't have sex, and the continuing argument about it between him and Jen lead them...well, backwards, at least as far as their relationship goes. There's no risk at all to you in enjoying our podcast on "High Risk Behavior"!

Special: The Melrose Swimsuit Special

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 09:00:00 +0000

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of Melrose peeps and swimwear.

AWAWT 141: Let’s Watch David Charvet And Brooke Langton On Baywatch!

Baywatch S03.E01: River Of No Return, Pt. 1, isn’t only Charvet’s debut on the dominant syndicated T&A show of the nineties; it’s also Nicole Eggert’s…and Pamela Denise Anderson’s, so there’s a lot going on. Not in terms of the episode director guiding young/bad actors, however; we’ll talk about that, Brooke Langton’s shiny hair, TV pregnancies, believable lurking, and more.

AWAWT 153: Let's Watch Cheryl Pollak And Jack Wagner In Swimsuit!

Saltaire Swimwear is looking for fresh faces for its new campaign! Among the aspiring models are Rosy (Cheryl Pollak), discovered at her burger-joint job; and Scott (Paul Johansson), a washed-out finance bro. Among the love interests? Jack Wagner as department-store magnate Hart Chadway, and no, that’s not a typo. Dive in!

DC S02.E09: The Election

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The school year is nearly half over, so naturally it's time for the current sophomores to vote on who will represent them for, oh, six months or so. Andie understands that, as a new student, she's going to be at a deficit just because people don't know who she is, but she's also already looking ahead to her college applications so she's willing to risk it. She's also SO new that she thinks her ticket might get a lift from adding Joey, forcing Joey to explain that she's very unpopular and she would rather not run. Then frontrunners Chris and Abby post up at the Icehouse to talk strategy; Abby overhears Jack urging Joey to change her mind, then runs her mouth so much about what losers they are that she goads Joey into running after all. Things seem like they're going to go well...until the debate, when Abby disgorges all of Andie's family secrets. Elsewhere, Dawson has completed his next script. First reader Jen thinks it's hampered by Dawson writing teens like a middle-aged man, and offers to help him discover what it might be like if he acted out irresponsibly like a normal teenager. Dawson balks until his parents' separation hits a new speed bump, and he decides he needs to soothe himself with a little immaturity. No need to head to the polls for our episode on "The Election"!

DC S02.E08: The Reluctant Hero

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Though his life has mostly sucked lately, Dawson gets some good news for a change: his horror movie won a special award at the extremely offscreen film festival in which he entered it, and the prize is a not insignificant amount of money to help him make his next movie. (Oof, the threat inherent in that phrase: Dawson's NEXT movie.) He's excited to reunite with Joey, his producer on the last film, but since they worked together she's developed her own interests and isn't going to have time to be a helpmeet on his. Dawson actually responds to this in a very selfless way, but then he sees Jack walking up to take Joey out on a not-quite-date and decides maturity is for chumps and he'd rather go to a "kegs and eggs" party with Jen and all the other degenerate local teens. Pacey and Andie are getting close enough for her to let him come study at her house and interact with her mother, which is how he happens to be in the right place at the right time to help Andie manage a crisis. We hope you don't feel reluctant about our episode on "The Reluctant Hero"!

DC S02.E07: The All-Nighter

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Mr. Peterson, in whose English class everyone but Jack is enrolled, makes such a big, apocalyptic deal about the imminent midterm that all the students we know head straight for his afterschool study session. He's too sick to show up himself, however, so new lothario Chris Wolfe (future Roswell star Jason Behr) offers the use of his giant, currently parentless house for an off-campus cram. Andie does what she can to stay on task, but the rest of the loafers she's trying to herd would rather eat pizza and play grab-ass, and things only go further south when Chris notices Andie's issue of Jane because then everyone has to take the purity test she was flirting about with Pacey earlier. This relic of the past -- which, if you weren't alive for its heyday, is exactly what you think it is -- forces everyone to get real about their sexual histories, then immediately regret it. YOU won't regret listening to our episode on "The All-Nighter"!

DC S02.E06: The Dance

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 09:00:00 +0000

YES, this is a new episode; the dance episode in S01 is just called "Dance," and yes, it was a terrible idea for two episodes of the same show to have nearly identical titles, but here we are. All our opening-credits cast nonconformists know, as Andie does, that the Homecoming Dance is coming up. Unlike Andie, they don't care, until she points out that dancing can be a form of foreplay and all their horny asses get on board. Seeing Jen in the hallway still hanging out with Abby, Joey gets concerned that Abby's a bad influence and suggests asking Jen to join them at the dance, since they're all going as friends. Dawson's not so sure until Andie asks to invite Jack, and over Pacey's strenuous urging for them not to try to set up two people who don't know each other at all and have nothing in common, it's on. Dawson could use the distraction of a dance, because his parents have told him that they're finally ready to quit their marriage, and Mitch is moving out. But if Dawson had hoped for some drama that could take his mind off his own problems...that's not the kind he gets. Get ready to cut loose, foot loose, with our episode on "The Dance"!

DC S02.E05: Full Moon Rising

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

It's a full moon! Joey is pretty sure it's going to cause out-of-character behavior in the townsfolk, and she might be on to something: Mitch and Gale are so testy about one another's totally innocent visitors (Tamara in his case; some reporter colleague named Gary in hers), repeatedly making reference to THURSDAYS, that Dawson can't help noticing and demanding to know what is actually going on with their marriage. Elsewhere, a dead shift at the Icehouse gives Joey nothing to do but talk to Jack, and resume noticing that he is more sensitive than she initially gave him credit for...and maybe more sensitive than her boyfriend? Vincent and Jen make a coffee date, which is tough on Abby, who can't decide whether she actually wants to be friends with Jen, or just have someone around to bounce her crazy off. And since the coffee date isn't at the new café we keep seeing but at Grams's house, things percolate dangerously. Pacey has well learned the lessons of the previous episode and makes an age-appropriate date with Andie -- but hey, why is she so nervous about the prospect of Pacey picking her up for it at her house? Look up at the sky; then look at your podcast app, because that's where we put our new episode on "Full Moon Rising"!

DC S02.E04: Tamara's Return

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

As we saw at the end of the last episode, Tamara somehow has the nerve to show her face back in Capeside AFTER EVERYTHING. Officially it's to sell her house and also a warehouse (???), the latter possibly to Mitch for his fake restaurant, which is why Dawson is the first credits-cast Capeside High student to see her. He does TRY to warn Pacey, but not hard enough, since as we keep saying, he's a bad friend. And while Andie does pick up on a vibe when she witnesses Pacey running into Tamara totally unprepared (bad friend, is what he has), she's too worried about sorting out how Pacey feels about Andie herself to interrogate why he's so thrown by a chance reunion with an old teacher. Laura continues her mentorship of Joey through an art lecture and then a drawing class, strongly encouraging Joey to consider pursuing art study more seriously. Dawson seems to think this possible new "hobby" is absolutely adorable, then can't figure out why Joey is insulted by his tone. Undeterred by Dawson treating her like a precocious child, she decides to check out an art exhibition on her own, and when Bessie convinces her to take Jack, she accidentally stumbles into having a lot in common with a boy friend who's not her boyfriend. Abby and Jen have a chance meeting with a hot fisherman named Vincent, but no amount of reminding each other and the viewer that he is much much much MUCH too old for them can stop this storyline, apparently. Don't go far: we brought you an episode on "Tamara's Return"!

DC S02.E03: Alternative Lifestyles

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Nearly all our teen leads happen to be taking the same Econ class, in which Mr. Maddock NOT ONLY demands that students pair up for a project on household finances, complete with character briefs and backstory; he's ALSO not letting them choose their own partners, which is how Andie ends up with Pacey, Jen with Dawson, Abby with a nerd named Kenny, and Joey on her own. You'd think Joey would go straight to the person she already knows as a solo head of household, but no, she rudely dismisses Bessie in favor of Laura (Tamara Taylor!), a successful local interior designer who seems all too ready to take on a protégée. Andie and Pacey predictably bicker over whether they need a comfortable house for their three children more than they need a Viper. Abby orders Jen to use her forced proximity to Dawson to try to get a leg over him (while also ordering Kenny to do the project without her and stick her name on it). Can Dawson resist the urge to touch Jen's boobs the first, third, or 47th time she finds an excuse to rest them on him? Speaking of boobs getting touched, or not: Mitch still doesn't want to fool around with Gale, and enacts Operation Open Marriage with a standing free pass Thursday nights. Make room in your life for our podcast on "Alternative Lifestyles"!

DC S02.E02: Crossroads

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Dawson and Joey are settling into the new phase of their relationship in the typical teenager way: totally oblivious that other people exist, rolling straight from Mitch and Gale catching them making out all over Dawson's bed to Dawson forgetting Pacey's 16th birthday. Pacey gives Dawson multiple chances to redeem himself -- including by throwing himself a party -- but it's Andie who actually comes through in the clutch. While this is going on, Dawson decides to help himself to a perusal of Joey's journal, in which she's written that she thinks his movie sucks. Cue the happy couple's first fight: it's "you don't believe in my talent" vs. "you violated my privacy." Andie's newly introduced brother Jack shows up in the middle of this, not that we're sure Dawson registers his existence on any level. Jen's well into her nihilist phase, which means she needs someone to hang out with who's going to join her on the dark side. Welcome back, Abby Morgan, and Abby's bottle of champagne! While all this is going on, Mitch and Gale seek advice on their marital issues. Alas. Put down your blues guitar and join us for our podcast on "Crossroads"!

Special: A Very 90210 Canada Day

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

We're off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of Canadianosity.

AWAWT 149: Let’s Watch Kathleen Robertson In Maniac Mansion!

We're heading back to the early nineties (again) with an episode of weird, energetic cross-border fam-com Maniac Mansion, which was loosely based on the videogame -- and starred a young Kathleen Robertson as teen brainiac Tina; Mr. Weir as her dad; and a grouchy styrofoam meteor as the villain of the week. How did Robertson do? And should you watch?

AWAWT 150: Let’s Watch Jason Priestley In The Series Finale Of The Fantasy Island Sequel!

Nobody really watched FOX's Fantasy Island sequel except Tara, which is probably why it got cancelled, but we're contemplating the series finale -- and Jason Priestley's one-off turn as a jerky cheater who gets his thanks to a revenge spell. Weirdly abusive mermaid girlfriends with great butts, baffling timelines and memory tricks, and inconvenient beach heels all somehow added up to a fun time, and JP knew his role and played it well. Join us in wishing a fond farewell to Roarke Barbie in our latest ep!

DC S02.E01: The Kiss

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 09:00:00 +0000

We pick up with Dawson and Joey where we left off in the S01 finale: they kissed! They like each other! They're going to talk about it a bunch, misusing a lot of five-dollar words in the process! But...what does this mean? Are they immediately boyfriend-girlfriend? Is sex on the table? Is Jen going to be weird about it -- that is, when she's not being weird about Grams doing a bad job mourning Gramps? Pacey has a literal run-in (of the automotive kind) with Andie, a new transplant from Rhode Island; after he poses as a cop to freak her out, she sees him at school and extends their relationship via Pacey's latest crush, Kristy Livingstone (Ali Larter!). And Mitch and Gale are still on the rockzzzzzz..... No need to pucker up for our podcast on "The Kiss"!

DC S01.E13: Decisions

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Deep in the background, Pacey's dad is not only still being a jerk to him but enlisting Doug to do it in his absence. But in the foreground, a lot is going on with his three best friends. Joey and Dawson are still very confused about their feelings for one another following the beauty pageant, so when Joey is offered the chance to spend the next semester in France, he doesn't want her to go but also doesn't feel comfortable saying why. Joey ALSO has to make the decision about going on either side of a forced visit to her dad, celebrating another birthday in prison. And Jen's Gramps wakes up, yay! But he's very old and weak and no spoilers but it's probably a good thing he immediately goes back to the hospital for some tests. We hope you will decide to join us for our podcast on "Decisions"!

DC S01.E12: Beauty Contest

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Capeside is closing out tourist season with Windjammer Days, a town-wide festival of which we see absolutely nothing except the climactic Miss Windjammer pageant. Dawson thinks Jen should enter, which she takes to be a backhanded compliment about her vanity. Jen thinks Joey should enter, because her tips are drying up and she could use the $5000 prize as the start of a college fund. And Pacey thinks Pacey should enter, because his dad is ready for him to become an emancipated minor and move out on his own. Who will be permitted to enter? How will Dawson humiliate himself? And what Broadway standard will be slaughtered in the process? Find out as your two favorite Miss Congeniality washouts bring you a podcast on "Beauty Contest"!

MP S07.E35: Asses To Ashes

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 27 May 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The rumors about what really went down the night Kent Damarr died simply cannot be contained. At first, it seems like Eve just wants the truth to come out. But pretty quickly, she changes her mind and hatches a plot for revenge that involves tying Lexi up and dropping her in the tub before stalking Amanda and Peter with murder on her mind. (Why did she have to remove Lexi's clothes first? Presumably so that Jamie Luner could give us all one last look at that bangin' bod, and who can blame her.) Terry's kidnapping plan is foiled by her own distracted driving, and everyone decides to let bygones be bygones -- there's no time for consequences! Jane tells Kyle about her pregnancy right before her doctor tells her a little news of her own, like when Jane actually conceived and whom she was sleeping with at the time. All this and more in our EXPLOSIVE podcast on the SERIES finale, "Asses To Ashes"!

DC S01.E11: The Scare

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 20 May 2024 09:00:00 +0000

For Mike White's second credited episode, it's Friday the 13th! Apparently, this is an occasion Dawson's friends have long known is one he likes to mark with scarifying pranks, and that telling him in so many words that they don't like it will not make him stop. Given her new status as Dawson's platonic friend, Jen assumes she will also be on the receiving end of some of this mischief, even though Dawson keeps telling her he actually had nothing planned. Cliff doesn't have anything planned either, beyond just asking Jen on a date and then immediately getting stressed out about it because he doesn't know if he'll be able to live up to the standard set by...Dawson? (Again we must ask if Cliff knows he's a character being played by Scott Foley.) Who will be at Dawson's Friday the 13th séance, and what will go down? Find out in our podcast on "The Scare"!

MP S07.E34: Dead Men Don't Shut Up

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 13 May 2024 09:00:00 +0000

You might think Lexi would decide she had enough on her plate dealing with Tony's corpse while also making sure she didn't lose the business he agreed to in his final moments. But, in fact, seeing Eve rapidly unraveling psychologically just convinces her to add a new scheme to her schedule: she can certainly take advantage of Eve's instability and use it against Amanda! Mark L. Taylor manages to cash another Melrose Place check as Dr. Visconti gets involved. Terry's feelings for Ryan continue to linger, such that she creates a seemingly awkward situation for Megan to walk in on and call off the engagement (again), but surely both McBros will close out the series deliriously happy with the blondes they were always destined to be with...right? Listen to us talk at length about all of this and more in our podcast on "Dead Men Don't Shut Up"!

DC S01.E10: Double Date

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 06 May 2024 09:15:00 +0000

Dawson is still being such a whiny little bitch about Jen dumping him that Pacey tells him how he could possibly lay the groundwork to get her back: take her up on her request that they be friends, and prove he means it by suggesting that they go on a double date! This involves asking out the cute and friendly Mary Beth and totally not telling her what his actual intention is. (Remember: this is a person we are constantly being told -- including in this episode -- is "one of the good ones.") After Pacey bombs his marine biology midterm, his teacher offers to let him make it up by doing an extra credit project with a student from another section. That student turns out to be Joey, who isn't thrilled that a grade she's trying to earn is going to depend in part on her least diligent friend. Finally: Gale and Mitch are still here, still struggling with her infidelity, and still boring as hell. Grab three friends to stay on theme while you listen to our podcast on "Double Date"!

MP S07.E33: Lexi Gets Stiffed

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Now that everyone's back from the cruise, it's time for a reckoning. Peter tells Eve he wants a divorce because of the way she maneuvered him off the ship for days so that she could bone Tony, but she yells that actually Amanda did that. So Peter confronts Amanda about that, not knowing she's coming straight from seeing the film Lexi ruined and is truly in no mood. Tony refuses to shell out for a reshoot, so Amanda assesses her life and next steps and ends up, where else, at the hospital to tell Peter that while she did scheme to keep him from getting on the launch off the island, sleeping with him wasn't part of her plan. Peter decides to end his marriage, Amanda decides to close her agency, and if Eve and Kyle aren't happy about having all their suspicions confirmed, that's their problem -- or it is until Eve seems determined to make it everyone's problem. The shuttering of Amanda's agency also clears a path for Lexi to go after Tony's business herself, and by "Tony's business," we mean...well, you know what we mean. Also: Terry is still in town, making moves on Ryan that are obvious to everyone but him. You might need a stiff drink for our podcast on "Lexi Gets Stiffed"!

DC S01.E09: Road Trip

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Dawson is being extremely annoying and maudlin about his first-ever breakup, and nothing Joey says can snap him out of it. But when Billy (somehow) hears about the split and reappears to try to get Jen back some more, she firmly shuts him down, forcing him to take the long way around: inviting Dawson to come with him to a bar in Providence where Billy knows the bouncer and thus can get his underage ass in. (Pacey comes too, because...they needed something for Pacey to do.) Back in Capeside, Joey accepts a lift to school from cool football player Warren (Eric Balfour!), immediately regretting it when he claims that he and Joey had sex. Then Jen gets an idea for a mother of a revenge plan. Get your motor running for our podcast on "Road Trip"!

MP S07.E32: Floral Knowledge

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

It's time for the cruise! Tony is VERY annoyed to see that his would-be girlfriend brought her husband, and orders Amanda to run interference, which Amanda is happy enough to do, both because she wants to secure his account, and because -- as WE all know -- she enjoys spending time with Peter because he is her favorite. Meanwhile, Lexi's assistant Julie has heard all the gossip about Amanda's recent business moods, convincing Lexi to take a break from boning Michael to try to...compete with Amanda for Tony's account, which she almost has, rather than just try to scoop up all the clients Amanda just fired? Sure! Terry is furious that Ryan didn't send Sarah home as planned, and gets the authorities involved to make sure he returns her. Sarah then hatches her OWN plan to stay in California by falsely claiming she can't go back to New York because Terry is abusive. There's nothing for it but to bring Terry to town so she and Ryan can both clear her name. Jane finds out about Amanda and Kyle's divorce and heads straight for him, but how long will it take for Kyle or Jane to admit their true feelings?! We hope this description has given you a budding interest in our podcast on "Floral Knowledge"!

DC S01.E08: Boyfriend

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

After the extremely awkward events of "Detention," Dawson claims to Joey that things between him and Jen are just fine! Little does he know that Jen's ex Billy (Eion Bailey!) has come from New York to Capeside to try to get Jen back. It doesn't work immediately, so he contrives a reason to remain in town, but also cries poor, which leads to him getting billeted with...Dawson? Feels like a mistake. The addition of a crying baby to the Potter household has left Joey extremely sleep-deprived, so Dawson should be especially grateful that she has any energy to expend on his dumb whining. But when she finally hits the wall on her shift at work, Bessie orders her to go to a beach party with Pacey. Many beers are downed, and some track for one of the most memorable relationship endgame reversals in TV history is laid! Deep, DEEP in the background, Gale and Mitch are back, trying to get their relationship BACK on track. Could the answer be scuba diving?! Put on a t-shirt and boxers you stole from a beau in your past and join us for our podcast on "Boyfriend"!

MP S07.E31: Bitter Homes And Guardians

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

WELL, Sarah (McBride, to be clear) is still in Los Angeles. Immediately, she determines that the true Megan is meant to be with her dad, and is compliant with everything Ryan tells her to do, starting when he's still at her boarding school on the other side of the country, yelling at Terry about challenging her custody. Sarah ends up at the beach house where the uncle she never knew she had is imposing on his wife's employee; when Aunt Amanda comes home, she's not that interested in getting to know her new niece, but does notice that Sarah, Kyle, and Jane look a lot like a family. Lexi uses the trip back to L.A. to tell Ryan about all the scheming she and Michael have been doing to mess with Ryan and Megan, while Michael does the same for Megan back at the complex; Ryan and Megan are more determined than ever to forgive all their misunderstandings. Eve is still letting Amanda essentially pimp her out to Tony Marlin (non-sexually (so far)); Peter is suspicious about it, but still books that trip to Maui he and Eve had planned, and she's thrilled. It sure would be a shame if the trip conflicted with the spec commercial Amanda wants Eve to star in! Because, yes, Amanda has figured out how to free up the funds she needs to pay for it: she's laying off half her staff, including Jane, and Kyle is pissed that Amanda's ambitions are trampling those of Kyle's new.....................friend. Surely you don't have better things to do than listen to our podcast on "Bitter Homes And Guardians," do you?

DC S01.E07: Detention

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Four separate disciplinary incidents have, it seems, landed our four teen protagonists in all-day detention in the Capeside High library...but it wouldn't be a full Breakfast Club homage without a fifth, which is why we're meeting chaos agent Abby Morgan (Monica Keena)! What crimes did they each commit? What terrifying admissions and world-changing challenges occur in the course of Abby's game of Truth or Dare? What's Mrs. Tringle's favorite soap opera? And how much better is this first episode from future White Lotus creator Mike White than what has come before? You don't have to block out a full eight hours to enjoy our podcast on "Detention"!

MP S07.E30: The Daughterboy

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Megan still loves Ryan. Michael still loves Megan. Ryan's trying to convince himself Megan is a lost cause, but he still loves her too. NO ONE loves Lexi. Yet somehow these four idiots refuse to figure out their whole situation. Michael, at least, has the excuse of bigger fish to fry: having bought in as a board member at the hospital, Dr. Shulman is still bringing the draconian cost-cutting spirit to the new worker's co-op and driving everyone crazy. Michael gets the idea to redirect her with someone who can engage in a little sex-spionage. Who? The answer may surprise you! Amanda's pledge to cut back on work is a distant memory as she charges hard after Tony Marlin, whose cruise company could be a huge account for her. Amanda and Megan are both fine with him flirting hard at them both, but it seems like he's even more into brunettes: as soon as he gets one look at Eve, he's laser-focused on getting Amanda to deliver her to him, basically, and Amanda's determination to land the account -- to the exclusion of paying any attention to Kyle -- just shoves him into Jane's path in Amanda's absence. Call your dad later: we've got a podcast for you on "The Daughterboy"!

DC S01.E06: Baby

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The more we hear everyone discussing Bessie's pregnancy due date in the relatively near future, the more we know this TV baby is coming even sooner than that, and sure enough, he chooses a day when Bodie's out of town, the Potter phone isn't connected, and the truck is likely to get stuck in mud. The upshot is that Bessie and Joey end up at Dawson's -- initially just to use the phone, but when the community ambulance isn't available to take Bessie to the nearest hospital, everyone has to swallow their pride so that Grams the registered nurse can come from next door to be Bessie's emergency midwife. Jen also comes, to be supremely unhelpful. (What's going on with Dawson's parents' foundering marriage? Great question, but they aren't in the episode or mentioned by anyone who is!) In the sex crime plot, Pacey gets so excited about possibly taking Tamara out of town for a date that he discusses it with Dawson in the bathroom, both of them using her name; Pacey also does a terrible job checking whether they're alone, so a stoner whose weed they somehow don't smell hears the whole thing and immediately starts spreading it around. How's our lovable rogue going to get out of this one? Grab a bottle of whatever you prefer and join us for our podcast on "Baby"!

MP S03.E04: McBride's Head Revisited

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Things are going badly enough for Megan that she decides to take Amanda up on that job offer after all: if Ryan no longer has any feelings for Megan, then Megan can turn her feelings for Ryan off too. That's fine with Amanda, since it means she can wring all of Lexi's business secrets out of Megan and gain a competitive advantage -- which is probably overestimating both how much Megan retained at her fake job, and...how much was available for her even to try to learn about. Lexi isn't aware of all these machinations until much later, however, because she's still running her own schemes, now with Michael: rifling through Ryan's apartment together tips them to Poughkeepsie as the locus for Ryan's big secret, so off they go to investigate further in person. Eve and Peter have been so horny since all this surprise oil money came into their lives that Peter suggests they...not do anything with it and go back to their old jobs? That lasts about three hours until Kyle gives Eve the chance to buy into full partnership at the rock & roll club, and also run it. Peter is indulgent about this, perhaps because he's actually got some big plans of his own. Grab a rosary and join us for our podcast on "McBride's Head Revisited"!

DC S01.E05: Hurricane

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Hurricane Chris is bearing down on Capeside, but it can't really compete with the shitstorm that drama queen Dawson's been living in since he found out about his mother's affair and his girlfriend's sexual experiences. When almost everyone ends up holing up at the Leery house, it becomes impossible for Dawson to escape all the women he's mad at, so he lefts Gale know he knows, and also ices out Jen. Meanwhile, Bessie and Bodie dodge possibly racist, definitely tactless comments from Grams about the baby Bessie's about to deliver, although at least that stops them loudly debating circumcision. Escaping all this mess but creating their own elsewhere: Tamara and Pacey, who end up riding out the storm at her place with Pacey's just-introduced brother, Deputy Doug. Board up the windows and listen to our podcast on "Hurricane"!

MP S07.E28: Ryan's Choice

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

As soon as they got back together, Kyle and Amanda promised to step back from their high-pressure jobs and focus on each other. He had no problem doing that, so why can't Amanda?! And should we be worried that he and Jane -- whose back stairs he is taking forever to build -- have such an easy rapport? Peter is fighting two different wars: against Dr. Shulman's savage cuts at the hospital, and against the...legal consequences of Eve's many dumb decisions. Amanda comes through in the clutch on the latter, and an unexpected turn of events regarding the land Peter inherited from his hated father might change the calculus on the former. We are also all required to learn more about Ryan, very much against our will, and although the person he SHOULD be telling his secrets is Megan, he decides to confess sex with Lexi in Mexico and blow up their relationship instead. We hope you'll choose to join us for our podcast on "Ryan's Choice"!

DC S01.E04: Discovery

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Dawson has a lot of naïve ideas about love, and in this episode sees several of them destroyed. His parents' perfect marriage? Not perfect enough to keep his mother from making out with her co-anchor in the middle of their TV station, which Dawson witnesses. His wonderful friendship with Joey? Whoops, she knew about the affair and didn't tell him. Jen's purported virginity? Apparently a distant memory. Pacey's ineptitude with girls? Doesn't extend to grown-ass women, as Dawson learns when he watches Tamara have sex with a mystery partner on his b-roll, after which Pacey informs Dawson that said swain is Pacey himself. Discover all the discoveries of "Discovery" in our latest podcast!

MP S07.E27: Unpleasantville

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Kyle and Amanda are back together: yay! Kyle and Amanda's plans to move into their dream house and start a family might get postponed by Amanda getting forced into finally bringing her slum of an apartment complex up to code: noooooo, or something! Given the financial pinch Amanda is feeling, it's a wonder Eve is even bothering trying to repair their broken friendship -- but never mind, she's still got Jackie! But, before long, Jackie is in her own crisis, and Dr. Shulman overhears a conversation between her and Eve, which efficiently lays out their past association. This is exactly the ammunition that Dr. Shulman -- now working for the corporation that just bought Wilshire Memorial, and eager to make spending cuts no matter who may die as a consequence -- needs to overrule Peter and his...bleeding-heart do-gooding with uninsured patients? Okay, sure. Lexi's campaign to break up Megan and Ryan by smashing them together continues, and now incorporates Michael, whom we're now supposed to think has totally given up on Jane and is all about Megan again? We can't guarantee that we follow what's happening or that the writers are even committed to the concept of internal logic but we do our best in our podcast on "Unpleasantville"!

DC S01.E03: Kiss

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Since Dawson simply cannot shut up in the back of the film class he is very much not enrolled in, Mr. Gold finally tries to get him to shut up by letting him be a PA on Cliff's movie. Will Dawson's constitutional inability to keep his thoughts to himself ruin his chance to parlay the PA gig into full access to the class? At the same time, he's still very anxious to kiss Jen, going so far as to plan not just the music and setting but possibly also the dialogue, and refuses to hear Joey when she tells him THAT'S CREEPY. Joey, meanwhile, meets a preppie tourist named Anderson and decides to try on a whole new identity with him: Upper East Sider Deborah Kerr.......son. Deborah Carson! How far can she push her luck using the random facts she's gleaned about Manhattan, a place we may safely presume she's never been? Speaking of pushing her luck: Tamara. Pacey claims he strategically failed a quiz to try to weasel his way into having her tutor him and she agrees because she has a lot of issues she is refusing to acknowledge in a serious way. Pucker up (not you, Tamara): we brought you a podcast on "Kiss"!

MP S07.E26: How Amanda Got Her Groove Back

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Amanda's one-story fall leads to medical consequences that are, for any soap opera viewer, extremely expected. Further consequences ripple through the group: Lexi takes advantage of Ryan's distress to get intel on his romantic past. Eve looks up an old prison pal for help fleeing her life. And Peter finally decides to try to run down the VA lab results to see if he can prove to Kyle that he did, in fact, father a child with Amanda. In the background of all this, Nurse Audrey takes her revenge on Michael with the help of her secret sex tape. We are going to get into all of this AND the extremely inappropriate episode title in our podcast on "How Amanda Got Her Groove Back"!

DC S01.E02: Dance

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Only two episodes in, and already it's just overall a bad time to be Joey Potter. First of all, she has to be present for all of Dawson's yammering about the romantic relationship that only he thinks he's on his way to having with Jen. Also, she has to bear the terrible knowledge that Gale is having an extramarital affair, though at least in that case, she lightens her burden a little by telling Gale she knows. And THEN, there's a friggin' Victory Dance at school, and a football player/aspiring filmmaker named Cliff (a pre-Felicity Scott Foley!) dares to ask Jen before Dawson could...ask her over to watch dance movies instead. And when Dawson decides to try to shoot his shot around Cliff, he makes Joey come and witness it. It's rough! Speaking of rough: Pacey, spending almost all his time trying to force Tamara to go against her instincts not to get arrested. Pour yourself some punch, then spike it, and enjoy our podcast on "Dance"!

MP S07.E25: They Shoot Blanks, Don't They?

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Amanda is doing her best to be supportive while Kyle goes through his rehab program, but she still feels guilty about pushing him to do things she doesn't think he ever wanted to do, while he feels ashamed to have fallen short of his own standards. She definitely needs a friend to lean on, and since she and Eve are still fighting about Amanda having fired Sharp Objects, Amanda seeks support from Peter, fueling rumors: Lexi tells Ryan about seeing Amanda and Peter getting a hotel room key after the foundation fundraiser, Eve remembers how Amanda clung to Peter after he got Ricky G away from her, and the one and only other patient Kyle's talked to in his program is perfectly cheerful about his own wife cheating on him while he's away, leading Kyle to jump to wild conclusions. Lexi and Ryan aren't ONLY talking about Kyle: when they simultaneously land on a great slogan for the Passion Island campaign, they throw themselves a drinking contest to decide which of them will get to present it -- a contest that has consequences that were only unintended to one of them. And while Michael continues carrying out his extortion plan against the hospital, Audrey continues to be an unpredictable force. We'll shoot you straight in our podcast on "They Shoot Blanks, Don't They?."

DC S01.E01: Pilot

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Dawson Leery, the world's #1 Steven Spielberg fan, has a great life: wonderful friends he's known since childhood, parents who are seriously crazy about each other, and plenty of resources to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker. But just as he and his pals are about to start high school, cracks start to appear. Joey suddenly decides she can't sleep over anymore, just because of their hormones. Dawson's elderly next-door neighbor takes in her beautiful granddaughter Jen, who's fleeing some kind of scandal in New York City. And...is Dawson's mother maybe sleeping with her closest work colleague?! Meanwhile, when a hot-to-trot older lady comes into the video store where Dawson works with his friend Pacey, the latter decides that the new member's request for The Graduate is some kind of signal that she wants to fool around with him. All that and it's truly just the beginning. You don't want to wait for our podcast on the Dawson's Creek pilot -- and you don't have to! Here it is.

Special: It's A Very Tori Time Of Year

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 10:15:00 +0000

We're off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of holiday cheer.

AWAWT 120: Let’s Watch SNL’s Tori: Absolutely Christmas!

Our discussion of the ongoing Tori Spelling send-up from Saturday Night Live is twice as long as the pleasingly concise skit, which we give pretty high marks. Is Melanie Hutsell's Tennessee-flavored Tori a success? Is there STUFF? Listen and see what we thought!

AWAWT 125: Let's Watch Tori Spelling In A Carol Christmas!

Carol Cartman is a truly heinous bitch of a daytime talk show host, but can visits from three Christmas ghosts show her the error of her ways? ...Yes, yes they can.

Special: It's A Jack Wagner & Heather Locklear Sorta Christmas

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

We're off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of holiday cheer.

AWAWT 121: Let's Watch Jack Wagner In Falling For Christmas!

Netflix's "Hallmark, But Expensive?" movie Falling For Christmas features LiLo as an amnesiac heiress, and Jack Wagner as her hotel-magnate dad. It's a completely predictable bagatelle -- but were we charmed by it? Was Wagner's best work in the blooper reel? And can we get a Tad/Ralph spin-off or what?

AWAWT 124: Let's Watch Heather Locklear In Her First Spin City Christmas Episode!

Caitlin may be a new arrival to The Mayor's staff, but Heather Locklear is a veteran when it comes to parrying men's romantic overtures and pretending she's not interested herself. Her stubbornness is matched by Mike's in this holiday episode: join us as we mix and mingle, but stay away from the Croot Loops.

MP S07.E24: Saving Ryan's Privates

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The good news is that after seeing his worst qualities reflected in his awful father, Kyle has realized that he does, finally, have to tell Amanda what's driven him to drink and pills. The bad news is that he does so immediately after setting the dream house frame on fire and driving off to parts unknown. Amid and around waiting for him to return, Amanda decides to send Ryan to Mexico for a resort client pitch meeting, and Lexi decides to send herself as soon as she knows he's going. Amanda also manages Sharp Objects out of the rock and roll club in Kyle's absence, pissing off Eve, who thinks Amanda's doing it on Peter's orders to sabotage Eve's career. (Peter also finds time to comfort Amanda...maybe a little too well?) Elsewhere, we find out what exactly Michael has been doing with Nurse Audrey, and whether he found the right partner for a scheme based on sexual intrigue. Get ready to salute our podcast on "Saving Ryan's Privates"!

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Having been assaulted, at the end of the previous episode, with Kyle's version of Eve's scandalous history, Peter kind of...acts like a grownup? He tells her what he's heard, then goes to Oakhurst to see what he can find out himself. Unsurprisingly, the small-town fascists make Eve look much more credible by contrast. Back in L.A., Kyle is still a mess, and Ryan is still sniffing around Megan's restrictive new work schedule. Wilshire Memorial has taken a cue from the rest of the country post-Monica Lewinsky by deciding to educate its staff about sexual harassment. When Michael isn't trying -- and still failing -- to confess his charity embezzlement, he's ignoring everything he was told in his sexual harassment seminar to flirt with a cute new nurse named Audrey. We will TRY not to punch too hard in our podcast on "A Fist Full Of Secrets"!

MP S07.E21: I Married A Jock Murderer

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Kyle's reaction to Amanda kicking him out? Putting down his duffel bag and opening up his bag of pills. He's not trying to hear advice from Peter or Ryan, so Eve takes her shot -- then probably regrets it when Sharp Objects comes to town and Kyle orders her to perform as their new lead singer despite how uncomfortable she is about their lascivious looks. Perry is selling Michael so hard on the investment opportunity that Michael decides there's actually no risk at all if he just secretly borrows $100,000 from Peter and Amanda's children's charity. You'll never guess what happens next unless you've ever watched or read a single story about short cons. And when Megan ramps up her efforts to find lasting love for Lexi -- secretively, as Lexi has demanded -- Ryan starts to wonder whether her furtiveness is due to her having returned to her old job. We think we killed our podcast on "I Married A Jock Murderer"!

MP S07.E20: The Kyle High Club

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Kyle still hasn't figured out how to tell Amanda the news about his infertility, and has gone so far past the point of self-medication that he...gets on a plane and goes all the way to the other side of the country to "scout bands" in New York City. This is a great plan, because Peter doesn't want to refill his prescription of "relaxers," and you know who has access to drugs and a willingness to party? Bands! And their managers! Back in Los Angeles, Lexi is still trying to figure out what secret Eve is keeping from her; Peter says he doesn't care, when it's pretty clear he does. Lexi takes a break from harassing her ex's new wife to give Megan an important new assignment at her fake job: find Lexi a man! On the promise of becoming a name partner upon completion of the unorthodox assignment, Megan agrees. Deciding to give up on their divorce doesn't mean Michael and Jane no longer have any problems to deal with: they still have to pay their lawyers, but Michael refuses on principle to economize in any way, which is why it's lucky that he meets a wealthy new patient who's eager to cut him in on a sure-thing deal with a tenfold return. Put away your stash and get high on life with our podcast on "The Kyle High Club"!

MP S07.E19: The Usual Santas

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

It's the winter holiday season on Melrose Place, and Santa's sleigh is about to get totaled. Dr. V has the charitable instinct of enlisting Michael, Peter, and their male neighbors from the complex to be temporary Santas at various local schools. Little do they know that ANOTHER group of Santas has assembled for much more nefarious purposes. Fortunately, a moment of mistaken identity is quickly cleared up, freeing the Santas for their various pursuits. Michael resumes divorcing Jane, only for an activist judge to order them to spend the holidays together. Ryan celebrates finally getting together with Megan by calling out from work for a multi-day bone-a-thon. Eve's hope for a beautiful first Christmas with Peter is threatened when Travis, the tree lot guy, tries to blackmail her into sex, and Kyle volunteers to get involved to help work out a little of his self-hating aggression on Travis's face -- because, oh yeah, while Amanda keeps talking about this being their last Christmas alone, Kyle still hasn't told her why he believes their baby is not going to arrive as soon as she thinks. Open up your stocking and enjoy our podcast on "The Usual Santas"!

MP S07.E18: Suddenly Sperm

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Amanda and Kyle having decided they want to have a baby, Amanda's gotten herself medically cleared for action, and asks Kyle to do the same. But since he knows some of his Gulf War veteran buddies have had fertility issues, Kyle goes to his new pal (?) Peter (??) for a physical to see if he also got exposed to anything that compromised his baby-making capacity. The very busy Amanda also accepts Lexi's invitation that they bury their former animosity by starting a charity to benefit the hospital; since Eve is present when Peter's exes tell him about it, Eve gets territorial about Lexi and volunteers to join them, even though the more time she spends with Lexi, the more opportunities she has to reveal too much about her past. Ryan and Megan both finally get over themselves and agree to a date that doesn't exactly go the way either of them would like. And Michael and Jane try to move on from each other, even if neither of them seems entirely sure that's what they want. No, we certainly will NOT be making any "sticky situation" jokes regarding our podcast on "Suddenly Sperm"!

MP S07.E17: When Cheerleaders Attack

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

We found out in the last episode that Eve served 15 years in prison, and this week, we find out why; thus, all of us are one-up on Peter, since Amanda and Eve convince Kyle (to whom they spilled their secret) not to tell Peter, and he and Eve get married without incident as far as he knows. Kyle's not thrilled about it, but when he gets back to L.A. he finds much to distract him: a random baby to hold and be cute with; a plot of land he and Amanda might buy to build their dream house on; all kinds of SIGNS that the drama is behind them and they can talk seriously about settling down and starting a family. Meanwhile, back in Oakhurst, Lexi makes an ass of herself crashing Peter and Eve's honeymoon; the shock of finding out Peter went ahead and married another lady convinces her to stop acting the fool all over town. Jane continues dealing with her health scare, and Megan does a terrible job keeping her confidence, leading Michael into situations that confuse him as to the future of his relationship with Jane. Find a safe place to listen to our podcast on "When Cheerleaders Attack"!

MP S07.E16: Lethal Wedding 4

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

The sex-driven roof collapse of the previous episode has thrown everyone into chaos. Jane is going ahead with divorce proceedings immediately! Ryan is done with Lexi for good! Megan is also done with Lexi as a friend and a boss! Michael...is starting therapy, which is honestly probably a good idea and long overdue! Peter is suddenly bereaved, as he finds out his estranged father has died, apparently alone, and after the day it takes to settle his estate and not attend the funeral, Peter is re-evaluating his life. Specifically, he doesn't want to end up as lonely as his old man, so will Eve marry him? She will! And she'll have it in Oakhurst, which is alarming to Amanda for reasons we don't know! Kyle decides he's done hating Peter just in time to get very suspicious about his new fiancée, and try to save him from marrying an unworthy partner. We tell you whether wedding bells will successfully ring this time in our podcast on "Lethal Wedding 4"!

MP S07.E15: Fiddling On The Roof

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

It's Jane and Michael's wedding day: take 2! Bad start: Michael is reunited with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, who all soon realize none of them knows where Jane is. Amanda does, once Jane summons her to the hotel room she's booked (which: let's pause and congratulating her on figuring out THIS resource) to say she and Alex kissed and now she doesn't know if marrying Michael is a mistake. Amanda tries to hold everything together, getting the groom and all the guests to the church...but will Jane join them? Whether you're listening at sunrise or sunset, please enjoy our podcast on "Fiddling On The Roof"!

MP S07.E14: Suspicion

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

In some ways, things for Eve and Peter seem to be going great: he's giving her his credit card for a shopping spree, broadly hinting that he'd love her to move in, and so on. Buuuuuuuut, there's also the fact that she needs a shopping spree because she barely has any clothes; and is she maybe so focused on Peter that she might pass up a chance to make a deal with a record label? That's not all, but don't get too excited: whatever her terrible secret is, that reveal isn't happening yet. Also not happening: Jane's participation in the final wedding arrangements, because Alex is demanding that she come with him to his studio in Chicago to help him with his spring line. And if this puts them back together at the same place where they boned on the eve of her last wedding to Michael, so much the better for him! Michael tries to prove that he really does trust her by staying away, though if Peter wasn't around to keep distracting him, Michael would definitely be getting on a plane to intrude. Megan continues running hot and cold with Ryan -- literally; he helps her with a plumbing emergency at her kitchen sink -- but if she decides to snooze, she's gonna lose: now Lexi has noticed Ryan exists and decided she wants a piece. If you suspect we've made you a new podcast on Suspicion, you're absolutely right!

MP S07.E13: The Night The Lights Went Out At Melrose

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Eve is about as eager to get things going with Peter as a person can be. And she knows he and Amanda were formerly married. And she recognizes that her instincts about relationships may not be the greatest. But no, she is not going to listen to any of Amanda's suggestions about how to handle things with him. Megan is trying to walk the narrow line between staying on Lexi's good side (and in her employ) while letting Amanda know Megan respects her; she's also, maybe, starting to thaw on Ryan. Lexi, meanwhile, is holing up in her condo trying to drink away her public humiliation. Michael and Jane's story is still mostly spinning its wheels. At least Alex does what he can to change things up by suggesting that Jane become the face and body of his fashion brand, while also enlisting Amanda to break Jane and Michael up on threat of Alex pulling his business. Then there's a city-wide blackout that throws everyone into disarray! You don't need to see a dang thing to enjoy our podcast on "The Night The Lights Went Out At Melrose"!

MP S07.E12: The Rumor Whisperer

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 09:00:00 +0000

After being drawn to Eve's (a) medical level of neediness and (b) siren song, Peter asks her out. And Amanda is all about it, giving Eve tips on how to land him and even lending her an outfit. But then Eve is a little too aggressive in kissing him goodnight, and too eager to try to walk back her first impression, to the degree that both Peter and the audience is left wondering what her deal actually is. We're not going to find out from Amanda this week, since she's got her own problems: BizLine has nominated her for Woman Of The Year, and since Lexi simply cannot have that, she uses back channels to try to talk the editor out of giving it to Amanda and, when that doesn't work, starts a rumor that Amanda slept with him to clinch her victory. Since Jane never noticed that Michael was on the property when Alex was declaring his love in the last episode, she remains focused on her suspicion that what Michael's hiding is an affair with Megan, despite being proven wrong every time she confronts either of them about it. Michael decides to try to fix his relationship with Jane by eloping. And in Megan's actual love life, Ryan lets her know he's thought about it and he's okay with her past career as a sex worker, but she apparently remains totally indifferent to him. We promise to speak up good and loud in our podcast on "The Rumor Whisperer"!

MP S07.E11: Not Quite All About Eve

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 09:00:00 +0000

When Peter makes a whole scene at the not-jazz club keeping Lexi from telling Amanda what she knows about Peter, Kyle figures out that he might be able to confirm his vague suspicions about Peter by joining forces with her, even going to her fake office to arm-grab her about it. Lexi keeps it to herself...for now. When Kyle's not laser-focused on taking Peter down, he's taking down Eve, a Lilith Fair manquée trying to book a gig at the club. When she collapses in the parking lot downstairs, Amanda takes an uncharacteristic interest in her. Ryan's interest is still on Megan: refusing to take no for an answer when he asks her out, he forces her to bring Lexi as a chaperone on the date he bullies her into accepting. And Michael is STILL suspicious that Jane is going to cheat on him with Alex, and sets traps to try to prove himself right, some more. Listen to our latest episode to hear all about "Not Quite All About Eve"!

Special: Let’s Watch Grant Show In True Blue And Dina Meyer On Friends!

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 09:00:00 +0000

From AWAWT 126: Let’s Watch Grant Show In True Blue!

Midseason replacement True Blue is the 9-1-1 of its day...so why didn't it last longer than three months? Maybe because Law & Order, which staffed up with half TB's cast, came along and ate its lunch? Maybe because it spent its entire budget on music rights for this one episode, "Oldies But Goodies"? We have some theories, but we're pretty sure it's not Grant Show's fault.

From AWAWT 131: Let's Watch Dina Meyer On Friends!

Dina Meyer had a three-episode arc as Kate, a fancy actress who thinks her co-star Joey (Matt LeBlanc) is beneath her. In this bonus episode, we watch how she and her beautiful hair made their exit.

MP S07.E10: Dr. Jealousy

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Kyle is still morbidly focused on Amanda, Peter, and the missing diary page, which is such a waste of energy since Peter is probably going to trip himself up soon enough: LEXI has winkled out his most recent terrible secret, which if Kyle knew she'd done should make him very ashamed that she's shown him up. When Kyle's brother Ryan isn't reading way too much into his every interaction with Kyle, he's doing his fake job for Amanda: both Ryan and Lexi's newest employee Megan travel to Arizona to try to land an eccentric soap client. When mishaps throw the rivals together, Megan actually one-ups Ryan in the touchy department. And we should probably create a macro for this: Michael is suspicious that Jane is going to cheat on him with Alex, and sets traps to try to prove himself right. Our podcast on "Dr. Jealousy" is good for what ails you!

MP S07.E09: Where The Hookers Grow

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Having convinced himself that Megan is suicidal, Michael leaves town to follow her to the trailer park he's been given to understand she grew up in. Except whoops, it's a stately manor with horses all over the lawn, and parents who totally know what she's been doing since she left home; it was, according to Megan's mother Teresa (Shirley Jones!), the news of Megan's former profession that caused her father's debilitating stroke. Will Megan's disappointments in Los Angeles convince her to return to ranch life, or will Michael, the guy who just jilted her, lure her back to the complex? While he's out of town, Amanda sends Jane to try to land her old design school friend Alex as a client, and Jane decides to try to ignore their history for the chance at 25% of his fees if she's successful. At first he's too cold; then he's...way too warm. Speaking of being cold and then warm: Peter, rushed to the hospital for surgery on that gunshot wound. As doctors are yelling jargon over him in the ER, Peter decides he can't die without clearing his conscience, and tells Dr. Visconti how and why he kidnapped Amanda. Later, Lexi overhears that Dr. V knows something Amanda can never find out, and decides to use her powers of seduction to get it out of him. Also hanging around the hospital: Amanda, keeping Peter company to soothe her guilt for being the reason he's there. Kyle knows he can't tell her not to, and does a very poor job covering how much it bugs him, so it falls to his newly arrived brother to try to tell Amanda she should maybe stay away from Peter. You don't need a map to learn about "Where The Hookers Grow" -- you just need our latest podcast!

MP S07.E08: The World According To Matt

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +0000

It's been a hot second since we got a single-storyline episode, and all it took was Matt getting killed (offscreen) in a car crash! Everyone absorbs the news in their own ways, but only Amanda bothers to go see Matt's mother, who doesn't want anyone from the complex to attend the funeral but has no compunction bequeathing Amanda Matt's diary. And it turns out that all those times the writers didn't bother giving Matt anything to do, we should have assumed he was just out of frame, listening to all his neighbors' most shocking secrets and noting them in his journal. Michael's sexy secret job in Chicago? Amanda's true feelings for Peter? How Kyle became estranged from the brother we never knew he had -- the brother who then shows up at the jazz club? And a page SO HOT Amanda tears it out and hides it?! YES. Listen to our latest episode to learn all about "The World According To Matt"!

MP S07.E07: Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell, Part 2

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Taylor having inconveniently gone into labor in the middle of a pounding rainstorm, the ambulance can't get to the beach house in time and Michael Jr. is delivered at home, to his two biological parents and the blonde lady so desperate for her chance at motherhood that she's ignoring every instinct a sensible person could possibly have and agreeing to raise him with the unreliable man with whom she first re-initiated contact last week. Taylor took her last moments as a childless person to INSIST that Michael and Jane agree to take custody of the baby...but she sure does seem crestfallen that Jane and Michael Jr. are getting along so well! Michael calls Jennifer to tell her she's an aunt, but she's still in the middle of getting dumped by a guy who doesn't deserve her, and when Jane finds out Michael was involved, she orders him to fix it. On the other side of the country, Sam shows up at the radio station that probably started immediately regretting having hired Jeff, and begs him for another chance. What's up with the kidnapping? Well, everyone is running around the hills getting very muddy (except Kyle, who is stymied by a washed-out road). Eventually, Peter gets Jack to hear sense, and Phase 2 of the plan -- getting Amanda to think well of him again, through acts of physical bravery -- gets underway. And we'd love to summarize what's going on with Coop, Lexi, and Megan, but we actually have no idea. There's a boat, and murder threats, and some very misplaced blame, and...yeah, your guess is as good as ours. Let's close il libro on "Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell" with our podcast on "Part 2"!

MP S07.E06: Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell, Part 1

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 09:00:00 +0000

After Peter failed to call off Mr. Beck's hired goons in the last episode, his plan starts to come into focus: she's kidnapped, and Peter's going to be the hero who saves her, in the process winning her back. And it actually...seems to work? Kyle has to humble himself by asking Peter for ransom money, for starters, though Peter is too worried about what the guys might do to relish it very much. The only problem seems to be that Amanda has more ingenuity and a stronger survival drive than Beck's henchmen anticipated. Taylor lets Jane know that she wasn't just idly talking at the end of the last episode: she really does not want to raise the baby she's carrying, and really thinks Michael and Jane should do it instead. Though Jane still isn't sure she and Michael are going to reunite as a couple, she's in (?), but will he be? And will he have time to hear a pitch when he's so busy trying to split up Jennifer and Billy? Mind you, they don't really need the help what with Sam around, so focused on their misery that she can't see Jeff directly in front of her, extremely sick of her crap. Speaking of men being sick of women's crap: Coop, as Lexi surprises him by spending a presumably large chunk of his half of the marriage money on a boat. Her flirty nagging even drives him to announce he's quitting the marriage and foregoing the money, until she calls his bluff and threatens to tell Megan about all the sex they recently had. Say hello to our podcast on "Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell, Part 1"!

MP S07.E05: As Bad As It Gets

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Mr. Beck from the last episode is about to go out of town, but first he makes sure Peter knows he's already started making arrangements for a deal the two of them discussed offscreen. It seems to involve extremely conspicuous hired goons posting up at the jazz club being obvious, and given the look of them, Peter's regrets start up well before we have any idea what the scheme even is. Speaking of schemes involving people who lived at the condo in the marina: Coop is having a bad time with Lexi, but the more he rebuffs her advances, the more determined she seems to get him to cave. Trying to prove to Lexi how confident she is in her relationship with Coop, Megan accidentally reveals how horny she is for the $5 million Coop will collect at the end of their marital year, which really undercuts his bargaining position with Lexi. Michael, a practiced liar, seems to think not only that he can keep Jane and Taylor from finding out about each other, but that he can do so while Jane is living with him. He...is mistaken, but Jane is more determined to make things work with him than we ever would have guessed during their marriage. Billy having been offered the Italy job offscreen since the last episode, he and Jennifer are busily preparing to leave L.A. and start their exciting new life overseas. But since Sam isn't happy in her own relationship and wants everyone to be as miserable as she is, she embroils Jeff in a caper to convince Billy that Alison still loves him, using the most advanced technology 1998 has to offer. We made you a podcast on "As Bad As It Gets," and we think it's pretty good!

MP S07.E04: Ball n' Jane

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Peter's more committed than ever to his scheme to get Amanda back, even though Dr. Visconti does not agree with him that a recurring sex dream -- in which she starts by resisting Peter's advances only to relent almost immediately -- is prophetic. Elsewhere: you're never going to believe this, but Coop and Lexi's sham marriage is a problem from DAY 1. The first problem: Coop and Megan can't be cool about it at all. The second: neither Lexi nor Peter seems to remember he was the one who told her this one weird trick for getting $10 million out of her father's estate. Michael seems to think Megan's official singleton status means he should try to get back together with her; when she shuts him down decisively, he has second thoughts about going back to Chicago for his 10th (lol) college reunion. His classmate Jane is excited to see him too, but dashes his hopes of reuniting with her in a more intimate way with some big news. At the agency, Billy and Sam deliver a great (lolol) campaign for an Italian swimsuit line -- so good, in fact, that the client, Giorgio, is trying to hire basically anyone who ever touched it. Amanda turned him down flat, but Billy is interested in hearing more (though Jennifer stresses out when his excitement about moving overseas doesn't seem to include her). And when Sam gets jealous of Billy's opportunity, she makes Amanda agree to push her for it instead -- which Amanda's more than happy to do, given which of the two of them delivers more value to Amanda personally. (Remember: Sam's having saved her FROM DEATH is "old news" -- which, fair enough; Amanda's already cheated death again.) The only problem with Sam's efforts is that she didn't think to tell Jeff about any of this, and he's not too thrilled to find out by chance. Can this relationship be saved? Again? We think you'll have a ball listening to our podcast on "Ball n' Jane"!

MP S07.E03: A Match Made In Hell

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 09:00:00 +0000

It's not enough for Megan to spend her waking hours stressed out about Lexi's legal troubles and how easy it would be for Coop to solve them: she has to have extremely dramatic nightmares about them too! When Lexi herself fails to convince Coop with a practical argument delivered while casually stripping down to her slip, she realizes the only way her pitch has ANY shot of working is if it comes from Megan. Lexi's ex Peter wants to start courting Amanda immediately upon her return from the Dominican Republic, fresh divorce in hand, but whoops, she and Kyle got married again offscreen. Is Peter too late?! As Taylor's pregnancy continues taking up space in Michael's mind AND house, he tries to resist caring about his imminent progeny, but the ultrasound blob printout he's tucked into his wallet tells a different story. And while Billy and Jennifer are happily canoodling all over the complex, Sam gets increasingly upset about it -- and considering how aggressively Jeff pursued Sam when she was still married, he sure isn't being very patient with her normal human emotional conflict now that she's mid-divorce. Thank whatever god you care to: we've brought you a podcast on "A Match Made In Hell"!

MP S07.E01: Divorce Dominican Style

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Returning to the Dominican Republic to expedite her divorce from Kyle only reminds Amanda of how romantic her last trip there was, when she and Kyle were falling in love. Meanwhile, whatever scheme Rory has cooking seems to have sped up his timeline, so the smooth-talking gigolo routine needs to go into overdrive, too. Back in L.A., Kyle enlists Jennifer in his campaign to push Taylor into confessing her big secret about Christine, while Michael advises her against it. Michael, at least, seems to have given up his campaign to reunite with his ex, and spends every scene with Megan verbally abusing her while Coop looks increasingly constipated about it. Peter returns to Lexi seeming to have finally noticed what the rest of us have known all along: she's boring and she sucks. Speaking of "boring" and "sucks": THE SAM/BILLY/JENNIFER/JEFF QUADRANGLE, which is STILL HAPPENING GAAAAAAAH! Make yourself a tropical drink (heavy on the rum), and join us for our podcast on "Divorce Dominican Style"!

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Coop brings Megan to Philadelphia for the last phase of his job interview. Will she elude Larner's clutches? Michael can't keep the secret of Taylor's pregnancy, and neither can Jennifer. Once Kyle finds out, will he and Michael be able to test its paternity without letting Taylor find out the truth? Peter's stress level goes so far through the roof that the hospital's psychiatrist lends Peter his cabin to chill out. Will he remain chill once Michael follows him there? Rory is still working his angles with Amanda. Does she actually hate herself enough to let him? And Jennifer is getting increasingly territorial about Billy. Will she finally just tell him what Sam has actually been doing with Jeff, since Billy has somehow remained the very last carbon-based life form on Earth to find out? All these questions AND MORE are answered in the gigantic Season 6 finale, so get comfortable while our latest podcast tells you all about "M.P. Confidential" and "The Nasty Minded Professor"! (For the record, that's the show's missing hyphen between "Nasty" and "Minded," not ours.)

MP S06.E24: Four Affairs And A Pregnancy

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 05 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Coop is still boring us all with talk of his big job in Philadelphia, and while Megan is still strongly considering joining him if he gets it, there's a problem: the head of the search committee is coming to town, and the restaurant where he wants to meet Coop and Megan happens to be in the hotel where Megan formerly worked. While this is weighing on Megan, her worst friend Jennifer pressures her to be more considerate of Michael, whose clinic is so deep in debt that he is openly considering burning it down for the insurance money. Coop's ex, meanwhile, runs into Rory, and old friend from Cleveland; once she finds out he's divorced, she immediately decides to set him up with Amanda, all the better to keep her away from Peter. Amanda really must be off her game, because she can't immediately clock Rory as a bounder. Kyle goes to Dallas to try to get more clues about what Nick was doing in L.A., and he does when his ex-landlady reveals that Taylor came to see him. Taylor tells Michael she thinks she's still concussed because she feels dizzy all the time; Michael's not a great doctor, but he does know all the tests that one should order for someone in Taylor's situation. The infidelity plot is MOSTLY just treading water, except that Jennifer tells Billy she loves him, and Jeff wants to introduce Sam to his whole family. We labored to bring you this podcast on "Four Affairs And A Pregnancy"!

MP S06.E23: Too Romantic For Words

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 29 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Christine is still dead. Nick is still gone. And yet we're still hearing a lot about both of them. Amanda is so racked with guilt that she's taking it out on Kyle, whose attempts to bridge the gap between them all come out very hostile. Then Kyle gets a letter from Nick informing him that Taylor's dead, which she proves she is not by walking into the scene seconds later, but it still sends Kyle on an investigative journey into whom Christine had contact with in her last days, and why. Both the remaining blond doctors are annoying the (annoying) women in their lives with unilateral decisions about their living arrangements: Coop is up for a job in Philadelphia and assumes Megan will be overjoyed to move there with him if he gets it; Peter, having been back with Lexi for one date, buys her a condo on the marina. Michael and his clinic continue their downward spiral, though at least he has regular gossip updates from Taylor to distract him. Speaking of gossip, Megan happens to be leaving the complex just in time for Billy and Jennifer to return from their dalliance at the hotel; Jennifer tells her everything EXCEPT that Sam is also having an affair. Speaking of whom: it's all going great in San Diego until Jeff starts pressuring Sam to leave Billy and marry him, and though this scares Sam enough to really pour it on with Billy when she comes back to town, he both sees through her and is still extremely horny for Jennifer. It doesn't come with 12 long-stemmed roses, but we still think you'll like our podcast on "Too Romantic For Words"!

MP S06.E22: A Christine Runs Through It

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 22 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Having accidentally killed Christine in the last episode, Nick springs into action with a cunning plan, and drags Taylor along: they're going to call a suicide note in to Amanda at the hotel where she and Kyle are staying on their wedding night, then leave Christine on the tracks so that her corpse will be obliterated past the point where any physical evidence of Nick's actions can be determined. And it works, particularly as regards Taylor's agenda in the larger plan, because Amanda tries to conceal the suicide message from Kyle, then blames herself for her seeming part in Christine's death. And Kyle is so determined to get her past it that he even enlists Peter to convince Amanda that she's innocent before eventually deciding he agrees with her, actually. But the two surviving co-conspirators can't help turning on each other. Billy and Sam continue boring us all with their infidelity, though their respective co-cheaters do escalate their interest (but just a little -- the season's still got four more episodes to go!). Megan, Michael, Coop, and Lexi are also all in the episode, but if the producers don't care to bring them in sooner than three-quarters of the way through, and they're lucky we're mentioning them here at all. We stayed on track to bring you our podcast on "A Christine Runs Through It"!

MP S06.E21: Blunt Drama

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 15 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Christine -- or should we say "Christine"? -- is ready to pull the plug on Operation Reset Kyle's Life, but Taylor and Nick have invested too much in it and simply will not allow that to happen. The next phase involves "Christine" confessing suicidal ideation to Peter so that he'll (a) commit her on a psych hold and (b) use all her professions of love to his own advantage with Amanda by telling Kyle and pushing him and Christine together. Unfortunately, Peter does only the first thing and very much not the second; in fact, he basically orders Kyle to leave Christine alone and marry Amanda as fast as he can -- which just requires Taylor to escalate the situation further. Here's what's not really escalating: anything between Billy and Sam OR the people who have crushes on them. Sam panics after sex with Jeff and tells him it absolutely cannot happen again. But Jeff is ready to throw away his whole career for her! Until she tells him not to and then he doesn't! Jennifer, meanwhile, continues mooning around Billy AND broom-dancing in her apartment, but none of that keeps her so busy that she can't get a mid-episode bob for no reason. And while Coop tries to get Lexi out of town, Megan helps Michael deal with an unexpected windfall. We're finding the comedy in "Blunt Drama"!

MP S06.E20: A Swing And A Mrs.

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 01 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

So the last episode showed us that Christine was definitely alive; definitely wrote that letter years ago that Taylor apparently forgot about and had to go to Dallas to have Nick explain; and definitely was really injured in the war, she's also in cahoots with Nick, against Kyle. In this one, we're told that although money is apparently involved, and Christine doesn't feel great about her part in it, and this is also kind of a plan FOR Kyle, in the sense of rekindling his friendship with Nick? But other than that there is a plan, we don't know what it is, except that it involves Christine acting like she really needs a lot of attention from Kyle and is still constantly thinking about suicide -- and, honestly, how much acting is involved is an open question. As A plots go, we've had better! Moving on: Lexi has moved out of Peter's place, and (chastely) in with Coop. Megan is upset that Coop could throw her over so easily, so she heads straight back to Michael, and damn the danger of seeing him at the clinic. Peter, meanwhile, is upset that he's still being blamed for Thomas's death, and for some reason thinks Coop will help exonerate him. As Billy and Sam drift apart, Billy and Jennifer get close...on the dance floor! It's for a campaign Billy's working on, and it's also part of a campaign Jennifer's working on Billy. And that's our pitch for you to check out our podcast on "A Swing And A Mrs."!

MP S06.E19: Last Train To Baghdad

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0000

The time has come for a midseason two-parter, and new characters are popping off. Having mooched some extra ER shifts from Peter, Michael meets a shady gentleman (how shady? His name is Spider), who encourages Michael to revive the shuttered medical clinic in his neighborhood. Much as we were expected to believe that Michael doesn't know how strip clubs work, we're also expected to believe he doesn't understand the quid pro quo implied. Meanwhile, with Mrs. Mancini still in town, Jennifer has to keep asking Billy to pose as Craig -- and since Sam is still head over heels for Jeff, she has no problem giving Billy permission to do it and leave her alone, basically. And after Lexi's father Thomas suffers a health emergency in the middle of a conversation with Peter, Michael's ex-wife, Megan, stumbles secret knowledge about it that she wishes she never had. Mancinis: drama magnets! When Kyle and Christine have an awkward reunion that immediately resurrects Angry Kyle, Christine enlists Amanda to help her smooth things over. She does, in the hopes of giving the former couple a pleasant, healthy, and final goodbye, which unfortunately is not the result. All aboard: we've brought you a podcast on "Last Train To Baghdad"!

MP S06.E18: Mama Mia

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0000

We join Jennifer just as she's absorbing horrifying news: Mia Mancini, mother to Jennifer and Michael, is coming for a visit -- just as her children's lives are falling apart! Michael has to do some fancy footwork to explain why he doesn't want to bring Mia to his office, but it works, and when Mia mistakes Billy for Craig, Jennifer just decides to run with it! Billy is more willing to play along than he might otherwise be since Sam is preoccupied: landing Jeff Baylor means committing to have her run his campaign, and although Jeff knows she's married, he maaaaaybe doesn't care, and maybe Sam doesn't either what with Billy being such a jerk to her all the time. Taylor guides Amanda to finding out more information about Christine, but slightly overplays her hand by telling Amanda things only Nick knew, which Amanda then repeats to Kyle. But everything changes when Kyle very belatedly receives a letter Christine wrote him years ago. Thomas only has one scene, but he makes it count: Sterling Conway Enterprises has acquired either GloveCo or its heart valve division, meaning Lexi and Coop are going to be partners again! In business...for now. Here we go again: we've brought you a podcast on "Mama Mia"!

MP S06.E17: Coop De Grace

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Once again, the medical practice is a flashpoint for drama. Peter can plainly tell that Lexi's father Thomas has no respect for him, because Thomas is not even pretending to hide it. (It's not like we can really say Thomas is WRONG to think Peter is bad news for his daughter, but since he much prefers Coop for her, it's not like his judgment is perfect.) Coop is keeping a close eye on Michael and Amber, noting their cohabitation and making sure Amber gets invited to a big reception the practice is throwing to impress a bunch of "hospital bigwigs." Once there, Coop doesn't let her champagne glass empty, and though the consequences are predictable, we must ALSO say that Coop had nothing to do with Amber showing up in what would be quite brief even as a nightgown, plus also braless; Michael did THAT to her/himself. Amanda's recovery takes a sudden turn for the better, just in time for Taylor to track Nick down in Dallas, break into his apartment, talk up the jazz club, and get the full story of Christine the Marine. Dr. Mosley returns to tell Jennifer all about the dangerous moves Craig is making with GloveCo's new heart valve; and the ad agency's potential new client makes Billy and Sam run down a minor league baseball prospect who's philosophically opposed to endorsements. However, WE can heartily endorse our podcast on "Coop De Grace"!

MP S06.E16: Kyle Of The Desert

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Our A plot is a good old doctor roundup! Michael is using all his romantic tricks to lock down Amber; when she resists, he (rudely) assumes it's because she's embarrassed about her job and what his friends (who) will think of her, and (annoyingly) the show doesn't let her tell him she's rejecting him for any number of other very good reasons. When Megan dribbles some baloney about never having really dated, Coop suggests that they start their relationship over in a "courtship" mode. Bob, having recovered his memories about the night of the hit-and-run, confronts Peter with a blackmail threat, but he doesn't want money: he wants Peter to break up with Lexi so that Bob can have her for himself. (Billy, Sam, and Jennifer also stop by for one scene, presumably for contractual reasons.) Since Amanda is still paralyzed, Taylor starts looking for ways she can use the situation to her advantage with Kyle, spying on him when he goes looking through his old foot locker. When Taylor actually talks to Amanda, they compare notes on Kyle's Desert Storm nightmares: he's just started having them in Amanda's room, calling out the name "Christine," which is new data for Taylor. But when she snoops around Kyle's things and finds a photo of him with Nick and Christine labeled "The Three Musketeers," she gets an idea. The dry spell since our last episode is over: enjoy our podcast on "Kyle Of The Desert"!

MP S06.E15: Amanda's Back

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Amanda and Sam's crash site still hasn't been found, and Kyle is DETERMINED to locate it NO MATTER WHAT and REGARDLESS of whose actually experienced toes he steps on!!! (Billy is also there, kind of circling Kyle and yapping like that little dog in the old Looney Tunes cartoon.) Anyway -- spoiler? -- the ladies are located and treated for their injuries, and it turns out Amanda wasn't just whining about her back: it is seriously injured, to the degree that she may be paralyzed. (Or just have to stay in bed for a while because of Heather Locklear's pregnancy.) While Sam is still recovering -- and totally convinced by Billy's version of Connie's snitching about their kiss -- Billy urges Connie to go see her, promising he didn't tell her anything about...you know. GloveCo is thriving, but Coop still wants to get rid of Michael; soft-hearted and/or stupid Megan just wants him to ignore Michael instead. While Peter is occupied by Amanda's treatment, Lexi lavishes her attention onto Bob, in a decision she almost immediately regrets, and will probably rue even more very soon. What's that behind you? We'd never front about this: we've brought you a podcast on "Amanda's Back"!

MP S06.E14: To Kill A Whirlybird

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 09:00:00 +0000

The GloveCo lawsuit is behind us...sort of: Michael is so bitter about having been cut out of the business for the obvious reasons that he uses his Chief of Staff position to forbid the glove's use in surgery by ANY hospital personnel. Coop hatches a plan to strip Michael of this authority, but it's going to require that Michael believe a woman who hates him also wants to bone. Hmmm, could it possibly work?! Peter is also an accessory to this plan, but he's got his own problems: Bob is back in town (crutch-free), and since he's looked up Peter and Lexi's address and popped by, Lexi decides to atone for her crime by giving him a job. It's Billy's birthday, and though Sam has planned a huge celebratory extravaganza, it's going to have to wait until next year: Amanda's bringing her on a location scout for a new client's campaign. Left alone with Billy, Connie only needs to wait for him to get slightly tipsy to create the conditions for him to try to make out. But then Charlie shows up and is NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED...in 1998; in 2023 it's been quite obvious for a while. Kyle and Taylor embark on her plan to win their mortgage payment at the craps table in Vegas, as Kyle also does his usual not-great "best" resisting her sexual advances. We're flying in with a podcast on "To Kill A Whirlybird"!

MP S06.E13: A Tree Talks In Melrose

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Having learned in the last episode that Lexi (a) has a problem with pills and (b) ran a guy over, Jennifer wastes no time putting her intel to use on Michael's behalf: she tells Coop she can get Lexi to release him from his alimony obligation if Coop will drop the lawsuit against Michael and turn over any relevant documents (which she still believes are fake anyway). Evidently, Coop is too focused on winning Megan away from Michael to think through all the implications, and agrees -- so it's too bad that Megan, despite talking big talk about her plans to divorce Michael, seems extremely susceptible to his love bombing via gifts. As Sam gets increasingly distracted by her long hours at work, Connie seems to be taking advantage of her absence by creeping ever closer to Billy (particularly to his lips). And though Kyle's heartbreak over Amanda is making him even worse at business than usual, a well-timed visit by JON SECADA has Taylor hatching plans to save their lease...and also......make a balloon payment on their mortgage? We can't promise to sort out all the real estate nonsense as we talk "A Tree Talks In Melrose"!

MP S06.E12: A Bump In The Night

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

We've said a lot of hurtful things about Coop, because he is a bad character and we have assessed him accurately. But one of the smartest things we've ever seen him do is try to get Craig on his side in the glove lawsuit by showing him the hard evidence that proves Coop really did come up with the idea first. When Jennifer is present for Craig's deposition, where he truthfully testifies about it, she confronts Michael about what he may have gotten her into; Michael has her on side, but he's going to have to do some fancy footwork to keep her there, which will be hard now that his attention is split between that and obsessing about Megan and Coop's burgeoning relationship. Peter returns to the scene of Lexi's hit-and-run and finds the victim, an unhoused person named Bob. Though he tries to keep Lexi from finding out what she did, even she is able to put the pieces together when the cops show up and tell her about the person Peter saved after some scofflaw ran him over. Amanda continues to be distressed about Kyle, and Taylor continues to be a brat about it. And as Sam continues killing her pitches in Seattle, Billy has a hard time finding reasons to avoid his very friendly new roommate, Connie. Did you hear that? Don't worry, it's just our podcast on "A Bump In The Night"!

MP S06.E11: Everybody Comes To Kyle's

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Peter confronts Lexi about the pills he found in her purse, which he went ahead and asked Coop about behind her back, and guess what: she feels betrayed! Fortunately, she's easily distracted by the project of redecorating not just the condo, but the offices of the Mancini Glove Company, too. Décor is the least of Michael's concerns: he's busy trying to convince Megan that she's extremely frail, and also that he was the one who kept a vigil during her coma, both of which require that he keep Coop far away from Megan. Meanwhile, Jennifer's loose lips give Coop yet another front from which to attack Michael. Amanda continues trying to convince Kyle that she wasn't dishonest with him about Eric (even though...lady, come on). But now that Taylor's crept one step closer to reuniting with Kyle for more than a twenty-minute stand, she's got a new project: convincing Kyle to let Amanda sell her share in the jazz club. Amanda's got different hassles at the office, what with Sam and Billy taking off for their honeymoon, so it's a good thing Connie's around to deliver Sam's storyboards (having "touched them up" a little herself first), schmooze her way into a temp job, and talk Amanda into sending Sam on a pitch meeting to Seattle. What's going on with Connie, and are things really on the rocks for her and Charlie? Don't go anywhere: we've made you a new podcast on "Everybody Comes To Kyle's"!

MP S06.E10: My Little Coma Girl

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

After the previous episode's cliffhanger gets resolved, Amanda must do damage control, trying her very best to convince Kyle that she did NOT accept Eric's offer even though, yes, when Kyle kicked his way into Eric's suite, she WAS in bed with him, naked. Then Billy stops by Kyle's to tell him that a bunch of their clients have come back, and whatever Amanda did, it's working. Hey, Billy? STAY OUT OF IT. Taylor keeps hoping unrest between Kyle and Amanda will mean she can slide back in with him. While Megan remains comatose, Coop is (unsurprisingly) drawn to her; at the same time, he and Michael wrangle over who gets to keep the bedside vigil. Lexi has gotten her prescription refilled, yet we're not sure the writers know what effect Valium has on a patient. Finally, the wedding draws ever closer, putting stress on Jennifer to find a date who will make Craig jealous, and causing Connie to get more direct about her feelings. Wake up! We made you a podcast on "My Little Coma Girl"!

MP S06.E09: Attack Of The Scalpel Woman

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Once again, the doctors are in disarray! When Peter bails Coop out of jail, Michael turns on both of them, convinced that even if Coop didn't physically pull the trigger at the beach house, he's behind the person who did. Michael's so fired up about finding the shooter that even Megan gets curious enough to join in the investigation. Coop himself is pretty shocked when Mrs. Shaw accosts him outside his apartment, and quickly figures out she's the culprit; since his was not his endgame with Michael, he informs her that he's going to send her back to Cleveland and have her check herself into a mental institution. PROBLEM SOLVED. At the same time, Peter -- a medical doctor -- can tell Lexi isn't quite herself, but not that she's pretty obviously going into withdrawal after running through the last of her tranquilizers. Jennifer is inspired by Billy and Sam's engagement to try to corner Craig into committing to dating her, and won't take "my wife was killed in front of me nine episodes ago so I'm not really ready" for an answer. And as Eric's deadline to take over Kyle's and Amanda's Business Business Business Businesses arrives, Amanda does some soul-searching as to how far she's willing to go to save them. We're slicing and dicing everyone involved in our podcast on "Attack Of The Scalpel Woman"!

Let's Watch Melrosians In L&O and Fantasy Island!

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Sarah will be back next week (yay!) so this week in lieu of a void of nothingness we're unlocking two episodes from the Again With This Club.

060: Let’s Watch Thomas Calabro On Law & Order! Back in the unlamented Greevey era of Law & Order: Mothership, Thomas Calabro played a variation on Robert Chambers named Ned Loomis in Season 1, Episode 4, "Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die." We have some notes.

064: Let’s Watch Josie Bissett, Laura Leighton, And Daphne Zuniga In Their Fantasy Island Episode! We couldn't NOT watch three Melroseans in the Fantasy Island reboot -- especially in an episode that's a meta meditation on aging in Hollywood and societal double standards. Did the show convert Sarah? And what's with the tomato boobs?

MP S06.E08: A Shot In The Dark

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

While Amanda keeps the secret of Eric's designs against Kyle's entire hospitality empire, Eric completes his purchase of the KYLE'S/jazz club property, giving Kyle 30 days to exit. And that's not all: he's ALSO planning to sell Amanda's new agency to one of her competitors. However, he doesn't leave Amanda without hope: he will abandon all his plots if she will just do oooooooone little thing. Michael is still being harassed by either Kimberly or someone working very hard to convince him that they're her. Michael accuses virtually everyone in his life of being the culprit -- though not Craig and Jennifer, since his main complaint about them at the moment is that they're not giving him enough adulation at the newly formed medical device company. Peter is happy to use Michael's crazy-sounding stories against him in order to get his Chief of Staff job back, but otherwise his life is going pretty great. He can even openly date Lexi now, and enjoy total honesty in their relationship, because she has nothing to hide! Nothing she keeps in her purse that Coop apparently prescribed for her, that's for sure!!! Also Billy and Sam are tiresomely planning their wedding and even more tiresomely arguing about how much it's going to cost. We're gunning for everyone in our podcast on "A Shot In The Dark"!

MP S06.E07: Secrets And Wives

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The main drama swirls around the doctors this time: Michael's already had a prototype cauterizing glove made and is ready to start making money off it immediately by selling it to a medical company; Craig wants to use it to build a company himself, which will make him and both Mancini siblings money in the long term. When Jennifer sees that Michael's stubbornness is going to drive Craig away (from her), she engages in a little espionage to force Craig and Michael into an arranged marriage, business-wise. Though Coop does find out about some of this eventually, it can't be top of mind: he's found out that Lexi got his real books, he knows he's about to get screwed in their divorce settlement, and he wants to know who's to blame. And she's not the only woman in the episode who's giving him trouble. Kyle, continuing to stew (no pun intended) over the loss of KYLE'S East, asks Amanda why she told Eric about it. She says she didn't, which only makes Kyle more suspicious about how Eric found out, particularly after he and Taylor are notified that they also just lost their lease on KYLE'S West, because someone bought the property; Taylor used her feminine wiles to find out that the buyer is a certain Upper West Holding Company, and wouldn't you know it, that's who bought KYLE'S East too. They decide to stake out a restaurant and try to get more info on who their landlord's been dealing with…which unfortunately happens to be the same place Amanda's meeting Eric and Megan, and she totally spots them sneaking out the back and assumes they were there together for romantic reasons. In other Eric news: Megan asks if he will teach her how to business, and since he thinks he can use her to make Amanda jealous, he accepts. Finally: Billy and Sam show up for one scene so he can give her an engagement ring and get her shirt off in his office. Gather all your spouses and listen to our podcast on "Secrets And Wives"!

MP S06.E06: The Light At The End Of The Tumble

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Michael is the pivot point for virtually everyone in the A plot. He helps Taylor cover up her non-pregnancy after a fortuitous fall down the jazz club's eponymous stairs. He hassles Megan so much that he drives her into Eric's arms. He takes an idle conversation with Coop about surgical tools and turns it into a proposal to develop a new device AND lets Jennifer pitch him on tricking Craig into backing it with Sydney's insurance money instead of blowing it on a cruise. But Michael's not the only one screwing Coop over: Peter is so fired up with love for Lexi that he takes it upon himself to steal Coop's financial records in order to assist her in her divorce machinations. Billy finally decides to listen to Sam the 400th time she tells him to depart Maryland and leave her alone, but his goodbye convinces her that she doesn't belong there either, and she comes home to (a) reunite with him and (b) interview for the graphic artist job he's trying to fill at Amanda's new agency. Make sure you are safely planted before listening to our podcast on "The Light At The End Of The Tumble"!

MP S06.E05: Desperately Seeking Samantha

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Still reeling from Sam’s shock departure at the end of the last episode, Billy takes time off from The AWA at the worst possible time to follow a hunch and locate her in Maryland, working at her mother Kate’s restaurant. Though Kate’s longtime employee Ernie seems kindly disposed toward Billy, he admits that Kate still feels guilty about mistakes she made in Sam’s childhood (edging us ever closer to confirmation that Jim sexually abused Sam), and may be overcompensating in her protectiveness of Sam now. Counterpoint to Ernie: it’s Billy. At the same time, Sydney’s father has come to L.A. to see Craig. He’s about to hand off something too significant to mail when a heedless Jennifer flounces out in her underwear and one of Craig’s shirts and Mr. Andrews decides maybe he never needs to see Craig again, actually. Can Jennifer smooth things over with her former distant in-law? As for everyone else: it’s just one romance crisis after another. Kyle is jealous of Amanda’s relationship with Eric, and only grows more so when Eric shows up in Los Angeles unannounced. Peter and Lexi are getting closer, but for the sake of her divorce settlement, they have to see each other in secret. And Taylor is still extremely horny for Michael, and at the most inopportune times. No need for you to get desperate seeking our podcast on “Desperately Seeking Samantha”: it’s right here!

Special: We Take Your Calls II

Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

As we take a little time off for the holidays, we're opening up our voicemail box and playing some of your latest calls. In addition to learning about the Jackie Taylor-esque luxury one listener enjoys in her boudoir/kitchenette and another's suggestion for a New Year's resolution a certain Chris Marchette should make, we're answering your questions. Which 90210 or past Melrose Place character would we import to Season 6? What might happen if anyone in the gang crossed over into Law & Order? If we all agree on Melrose Place's BEST couple (and we do), which is second-best? And more! Pop some champagne and join us!
