MP S06.E04: The Doctor Is In…Deep Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

The organizers of a medical conference in Santa Barbara had NO IDEA their event was going to be a flashpoint for so much drama! First, Coop tries to get Michael to go and gets turned down flat. Then Megan tries to get Michael to agree to more therapy, so he claims he has to go to this conference and absolutely cannot get out of it! Then Coop tells Lexi he's not going to be able to see her when she comes to L.A., because he's going to, guess what, this conference. So when she says she'll just track him down there, he gets Peter to go in his place. Michael is delighted to hear that his wife has come to the hotel to surprise him...until he sees that it's actually Taylor, still looking for him to knock her up -- which is why things get complicated when his actual wife actually ALSO comes to surprise him, but Taylor will not let Megan interrupt their procreative schedule! At the same time, Peter happens to meet a gorgeous redhead who's loitering around the hotel seeming frustrated.... In Los Angeles, Amanda and Billy's business business business business plans are still going great, while Craig is scrambling to reassure the financiers he suddenly has that everything is okay. Jennifer makes Kyle feel guilty by association that Amanda is busting out Craig's business, so Kyle turns right around and makes Amanda feel so guilty that she actually offers him a job. Meanwhile, a manic Sam confesses to Billy that she was the one who leaked sensitive business (business business business) intel to Craig. Can they get past this and on to the next phase of their relationship? And do they even agree on what that phase should be? Get all in on our podcast about "The Doctor Is In...Deep"!

MP S06.E03: No Time For Sperm Banks Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

Coop has not only taken Michael up on his invitation to join the medical practice -- he brings in a contractor to start talking about knocking down walls before he's even met Peter! Who by the way isn't thrilled to have this development sprung on him. Michael has MANY problems other than his business partner's rage: Megan gets him to enter couples' therapy, where they are challenged not to lie to each other for 48 whole hours. And: Taylor's plan to get artificially inseminated goes off the rails due to a problem at the sperm bank. Wherever will she find more sperm before she's done ovulating?! Peter also has some other plots cooking: after Amanda mentioned in passing that she might want to start her own new ad agency, Peter's enlisted Billy to come up with a prospectus, and believes that if he can just give Amanda the money to get it off the ground, she'll fall in love with him again for sure. Not thrilled with this plan: Sam, who is worried about what Craig will do if he suffers another huge loss. And she's not alone. No need to fill out a withdrawal slip: our podcast on "No Time For Sperm Banks" is here!

🏠 Desperate Housewives S03.E10: "The Miracle Song" on Hulu

MP S06.E02: The Trojan Stork Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

For obvious reasons, Amanda is trying to void the lease that Taylor signed with Matt; for equally obvious reasons, she's annoyed that Kyle doesn't seem to care where Taylor lives or what she does. Then Amanda overhears Peter yelling at Taylor about her pregnancy, and tells Kyle about it. And when Kyle asks Taylor about it, she says that not only is it true...but that Kyle must be the father because Peter is sterile. Obviously, Peter is not thrilled that this rumor about him is going around the complex, until Taylor tells him that they can use this lie to break up Kyle and Amanda and reunite with their original partners. Coop has arranged for his extremely offscreen fancy surgeon friend to operate on Michael's hands; Jennifer uses this potentially dangerous moment in Michael's life to manipulate Megan into spending time with him again. It's lucky for Coop that everyone's too self-involved to notice how much attention he is paying to everything anyone says about Michael in his presence. Craig is still raw from the loss of Sydney, though not so raw that he isn't still going to the office of his new fake company to half-ass his job. Not even Jennifer's grief-inspired sexual surrogacy can get him back on track, so -- mere days after they all left and collapsed D&D -- Amanda's former employees would like her to perform a hostile takeover of Sky High and hire them all back, please. And who knows: Craig might even appreciate that too, if it gives him more time to plot against Sam. Rejoice: we're flying in with our podcast on "The Trojan Stork"!

🎄 Falling For Christmas on Netflix

MP S06.E01: A Brand New Day Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Wilshire Memorial has always been a flashpoint for drama, and that has never been more true than in our Season 6 premiere. Peter is still in Carmel, sorting out his feelings about Taylor's pregnancy and making a huge decision. Michael is entering into a devil's bargain with Jennifer, so that she'll convince her new roomie Megan not to turn against Michael. Matt has decided to do his residency at a teaching hospital in San Francisco, where Michael conveniently has a hookup. And Dr. Brett Cooper relocates from Cleveland to Los Angeles, apparently for the sole purpose of avenging Kimberly's death. Then there's the fallout from the Season 5 finale car crash: a couple of people are dead (one no one will mourn, and one we ALL will), and a lot of feelings are hurt. Kyle and Amanda have managed not to screw things up between them in the 12 hours or so they've spent boning all over her apartment, but now she has to go to New York and turn down that other job in person, because she got the hookup from her old mentor, who does NOT react well to the news that Amanda's ditching him in favor of another dude back home. Wipe the sleep from your eyes (or just roll over and listen to your headphones): it's our podcast on "A Brand New Day"!

MP S05.E32: Who’s Afraid Of Amanda Woodward? Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

Though being a bitch queen has generally worked out for Amanda, her run may be at an end: Craig and Sydney are conspiring to bring down D&D from within, and her desperate attempt to get back the capital she poured into the jazz club fails when Kyle has to tell her he spent it on tables and bands and napkins and stuff. It's more than she can take -- literally (in a physical sense). And D&D is not the only Melrose Place business going through changes: Jake has sold Shooters to an entirely offscreen buyer, but Alison doesn't seem too excited about starting her new life in Ojai: she picks a fight about putting her dreams on hold for his, races back to L.A., "forgets" she has important real estate papers in her car and asks Colleen to bring them up to Jake. She couldn't push the two former partners closer together if she tried! (...Hmmmm.) Michael and Taylor's scheme against Peter kicks into its final phase, only to risk blowback when this physician seeks a second opinion on his surgeon partner's neurological diagnosis, then yells about it in front of said partner's chump wife. Sam and Billy continue clashing over Jim's place in their lives, but Billy ultimately sides with the cops and against the prospect of doing any jail time. And the custody battle over Chelsea comes to an end. And then another end. We hope you're brave enough to join us for our podcast on "Who's Afraid Of Amanda Woodward?."

🧙‍♀️ Charmed S08.E22: "Forever Charmed" on Peacock

MP S05.E31: Secrets And Lies And More Lies Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

Amanda returns from the DR divorced and in a great mood...until she learns that Sydney's employment was a condition of her settling her lawsuit. Sydney is suspicious about why Amanda is putting so many D&D resources behind the launch of Kyle's stupid club, while Amanda is greedily jealous of Craig's relationship with Sydney even though Amanda didn't even want him when she could have easily had him, and just regular jealous that Kyle hired Jennifer to tend bar at the club without running it by Amanda first. Colleen comes back to town upon the very predictable end of her marriage, bringing David to spend some time with Jake before Colleen and David move out of state; Alison gets just as predictably bent out of shape about it, given that she was already worried that her infertility was denying Jake one of his longest-held life goals. Billy eludes the cops to get Jim his cash, only to learn there's yet another stipulation: Jim isn't leaving town without Sam. This finally leads Sam and Billy to come clean to the cops...but will they have done so in time? Michael and Taylor enact their plot against Peter, causing Megan to become suspicious about Michael's possibly cheating on her (again) with his partner's wife. And Matt and Chelsea are still here, spinning their wheels. We are telling the absolute truth: we've brought you a new podcast on "Secrets And Lies And More Lies"!

🧠 Criminal Minds S04.E03: "Minimal Loss" on Hulu

MP S05.E30: Going Places Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Megan snitches to Kyle about Jennifer's new strip club job, from which he extricates her just before she's about to accept a promotion from server to performer, setting her up in his apartment...alone, because it's time for Amanda and Kyle to journey to the Dominican Republic to finalize their quickie divorces, but oh no! Amanda's apparently terrible travel agent booked them in a resort that has had its one road washed out during the rainy season, so they're going to have to stay in a VERY rustic beach shack arranged by a random cab driver Kyle meets at the airport! Roughing it eventually brings out the best in Amanda, and the two get closer commiserating, some more, about the end of their marriages. But can it last, given Kyle's current house guest? Jennifer also witnesses Michael and Taylor scheming to trick Peter into thinking he has rage epilepsy and is physically abusing Taylor during blackouts; Taylor excitedly plants a big kiss on Michael to seal their evil deal, which Jennifer is delighted to report to Megan later. The cops release Billy and Sam, continuing to surveil them in a way that does not involve watching the back of their apartment, which Jim uses to enter and demand $10,000 and a ticket to Mexico, or else he'll tell the cops they were in on his whole plan. And this is not the only threat in the episode: after Sydney comes clean to Craig about the plot she hatched with Harry, and how he tried to hold her to it after she wanted to stop, Craig rides to her rescue. And in the "about to leave the show" plot basement, Alison and Jake plan to move to Ojai and buy a restaurant; and Matt and Denise continue scrapping over Chelsea. Don't go anywhere: we've brought you a podcast on "Going Places"!

🎃 Trick Or Treat (1986) on YouTube

MP S05.E29: Ultimatums And The Single Guy Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

If you worried that we might not hear about the jazz club this time, don't! Amanda has decided she needs to formalize her partnership with Kyle, and he eventually agrees -- as long as there's no chance Peter is going to weasel his way in. Amanda is on the same page, but regarding Taylor, so a summit is arranged at which the matter of these two lingering divorces is finally addressed. Taylor is pretty eager to sign any paperwork Kyle puts in front of her considering that Peter is still being controlling about her full-on Beth impersonation, but Michael is still hanging around, looking to turn Taylor's building resentment against Peter, to Michael's advantage. Meanwhile, Craig is still pursuing his campaign to make Sydney horny enough to drop her lawsuit; it's too bad she's not the only one he should be trying to manipulate. Former fiancés Billy and Alison are not having a great time: Billy the idiot lets Sam convince him not to call the cops on Jim immediately; and Alison learns that being on your best behavior as a potential adoptive parent means you don't get any nights off to get hammered. Jennifer lands on her feet -- presumably in spike heels, since she's waiting tables at a strip club; and Matt and Denise are still having the same fight about Chelsea. Listen to our podcast on "Ultimatums And The Single Guy" OR ELSE!

MP S05.E28: All Beths Are Off Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

Our A plot is basically a thicket of bad decisions: Amanda and Kyle going into the JAZZ CLUB business together! Jennifer impulsively outing her five-month affair with Kyle -- because yes, she was the server he fooled around with in Boston! Alison drinking in virtually every one of her scenes and Jake defending it to Amanda and Billy! And Taylor going along with Peter's domineering-husband role-play! For a while, anyway. The former employee's of Sydney's (RIP) are both getting jerked around by the shadiest men in their lives: Jim is trying to extort even more money out of Sam, while Craig keeps tabs on Sydney by treating her to a Palm Springs spa vacation she seems to see no reason to question. Denise reluctantly goes along with a judge's order that Chelsea resume living with Matt, but on her lawyer's advice, she deputizes Chelsea to start keeping a snitch log they can eventually use to contest Matt's custody in court. Take off that sensible skirt suit and let down your french twist: it's time for our podcast on "All Beths Are Off"!

💯 Frasier S05.E17: "The Perfect Guy" on Hulu

MP S05.E27: Deja Vu, All Over Again Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Sydney's not thrilled that the grift she and Harry ran on D&D has resulted in actual injury for her. She is thrilled that he thinks they can take the agency for $5 million. Amanda's not worried about the lawsuit since this is exactly why they have insurance, but whoops, it turns out their policy renewal required some exclusions: of course the rickety stairs to the Business Balcony were among them, and of course Craig never got around to fixing them. But it's fine because he knows how to solve this problem: he'll just seduce Sydney so she drops the suit! Hey, I have a great icebreaker about one thing they have in common: carelessness with their insurance policies. Amanda can't concern herself too much with this, because she's got Kyle to hang out with AS FRIENDS. Just friends on the dance floor, talking about their dreams! That's a much more pleasant topic for her than a disastrous job interview she's just conducted with one Jennifer Mancini -- yes, Michael's younger sister, who's just shown up in L.A. to start a new life, but not in advertising. When Sam warns her father that the feds are on to him, he declines her suggestion that he turn himself in; instead, he sneaks out to a motel, Sam lies to Billy that he went to Chicago, and then easily gets $500 out of him to pass on to Jim to finance his vague plans of fleeing the country. Matt and Denise are still wrangling over Chelsea, and Jake still has one very special ex: Colleen is in town to ask for his help with David, and to make things weird for Alison. If some of this sounds familiar, you may also hear US say so in our podcast on "Deja Vu, All Over Again"!
