Special: A Very Special 90210 Book Deleted Entry S05.E11: Hate Is Just A Four Letter Word Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

CU's Black Students Union has invited Roland Turner -- a controversial speaker who is NOT Louis Farrakhan but is definitely supposed to remind you of him -- to come speak at the school. The Jewish students' group enlists Andrea to lobby President Brandon to cancel the booking. Janice from the BSU makes a First Amendment argument in favor of an invitation she didn't even support. Which side will our golden boy come down on?!

MP S02.E26: In Bed With The Enemy Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

Jane is pretty much screwed, financially -- so much so that she tries going to Amanda for a loan. Amanda doesn't even pretend to consider it, instead offering to introduce Jane to someone who might be willing to park his money in her company. Then she goes to Michael: if he puts his half of the inheritance into Jane's company, they'll both save on legal fees, he'll probably make money when she's a big success (snort), and while a court case would drive them apart, being in business will inevitably pull them closer together. Jane is horrified to be ambushed by the sight of Michael at lunch with her investor, but has to admit that Amanda's scheme makes sense. Sydney, however, is jealous as hell that Michael's once again entangled with Jane and her talent, so Lauren's arrest for pandering comes along at just the right time: Sydney visits her in jail to arrange to take over her business while Lauren's locked up, and prove to Michael that she has talents of her own. Alison first admits to Billy that she never wants to have children, and then confides that she's been having nightmares so upsetting that she wants to seek psychiatric help. Billy is, unsurprisingly, dubious about it, so she goes behind his back and immediately starts experiencing transference with her therapist. Now that Jake has a job and can't be Amanda's on-call fix-it man anymore, he recommends that she hire one, and in a wildly out-of-character move, she hires some dude who's an hour late for their interview and shows up without a résumé? Guess what? He's a creep. Lay your head down on your pillow -- preferably next to someone you like -- and listen to our podcast on "In Bed With The Enemy"!

MP S02.E25: The Two Mrs. Mancinis Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

When Jane and Sydney's grandmother dies and Sydney claims not to care because she always loved Jane more, Jane feels appalled. Then Jane finds out their grandmother is leaving her a six-figure bequest and Sydney nothing, and feels guilty. Then Jane hears that, actually, Gram never changed her will after the divorce, so the cash has been willed to Dr. and Mrs. Michael and Jane Mancini, and feels horrified...because she already quit her job with Kay and rented commercial space to start her own design business. Whoops! Billy is hurt when he finds out that Alison is planning to go back to Wisconsin for her father's 50th birthday party without him, and even more hurt when he hears that no one's going to wonder where her fiancé is at this major life event because no one back home actually knows she's engaged. He then buys his own plane ticket behind her back, invites himself along, and ignores her twice-stated wishes that he not upstage her father on his special day by announcing their engagement and does precisely that, mostly in order not to get cucked by an ex that her oblivious parents keep inviting around because as far as they know Billy is just Alison's roommate. The longer Alison spends in her childhood home, though, the less bothered she is by Billy's heedless cloddishness, and the more haunted she seems to be by dark memories. On her latest D&D shoot, Jo meets a model, Gregory, who hits on her hard, RIGHT up until he finds out why she's sticking to club soda on their date. We hope you're not MARRIED to any plans you may have made for the next 40 minutes or so and can therefore join us for our podcast on "The Two Mrs. Mancinis"!

MP S02.E24: Love, Mancini Style Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

After Michael's ominous parting line to him at the end of the last episode, Matt is pretty sure Michael is taking Sydney up north to murder her, and as we know, he's not actually wrong. He's just going to have a hard time (a) tracking them down to the resort in the High Sierras that they happen to be staying in, and (b) convincing law enforcement that these newlyweds are out of sight for reasons other than that they're having tons of sex. Michael makes a couple of attempts on Sydney's life before Matt gets to the right cabin with the cavalry, but did he make it in time?! As Jo's pregnancy progresses, she is increasingly haunted by visions of Reed, in both her sleeping and waking hours. (Reed is also on Jake's mind, as he attends the police auction where the Pretty Lady is sold with designs on convincing the winning bidder to let him use the vessel for a charter business, just like Reed told Jake he was planning to do.) Jake convinces Jo that she won't have peace until she gets closure on Reed, or whatever spectral version of him remains. When she's not helping Jo find Reed's barely marked grave, Alison whines about Billy's refusal to participate in planning their wedding and general lack of romantic effort since locking her down with his proposal. To reignite the spark, Alison hits upon a scheme guaranteed to make Billy irritable, and he's probably not the only one. Freer than the land of the free, it's our podcast on "Love, Mancini Style"!

MP S02.E23: Otherwise Engaged Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

After informing Michael that she's going to use her knowledge of his part in Kimberly's death to force him into marrying her, no one is happy about it -- not Jane; not Sydney and Jane's mother, who flies in from Chicago after Jane tells her about the nuptials to try to talk Sydney out of it; and certainly not Michael himself, though he likes the idea of losing his medical license and possibly his freedom (due to incarceration) even less. So: it happens. But then the answer to Michael's problems comes to him in a dream. Jo is woozy and nauseated on the set of a photo shoot, but it's not, as her assistant suggests, the flu that's been going around: she's pregnant with the late Reed's baby. Under duress, she tells Jake what's going on and that she's not interested in remaining pregnant with her dead criminal boyfriend's baby, but the clinic tells her she has to think about it for 24 hours and she's a woman on Fox in the '90s, so...she does. Helping Jo through the crisis gets Jake out of an engagement celebration for Alison and Billy with D&D boss Bruce and his wife that Amanda invited herself along to in the course of a very efficient conversation in which she also leveled extremely justified criticism at Alison's disgusting engagement ring. Does Billy have to get Alison a ring from a recognized retailer, and with a four-figure price tag, just because it's tradition? Clear your schedule for our podcast on "Otherwise Engaged"!

📣 Death Of A Cheerleader on Amazon Prime

MP S02.E22: With This Ball And Chain Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

After ending up in jail following her arrest on Reed's boat (or was it?), Jo's next challenge is convincing her public defender that she killed Reed in self-defense and had no involvement in his drug business. He (a) doesn't believe her, and (b) is apparently in some degree of cahoots with the DA to get a threatened first-degree murder charge pled down so that Jo's case will just get off his schedule and he can move on to inadequately defending his other clients. Jo uses her one phone call to reach Jake, who rallies the neighbours to her aid, but what she really needs is a decent lawyer; the only one who could find or afford such a person is Amanda, and she's in deep CYA mode given her own entanglement with Reed. Is Jo going to serve hard time?! After sleeping on it and then going to work for half a day, Alison has given Billy's marriage proposal enough thought to accept. Billy tells Amanda that in order for there not to be any secrets between him and his intended, he's going to tell her about hooking up with Amanda. Horrified, Amanda orders him not to, and then gets in front of it by telling Jake before Billy has the chance to say anything. The fallout is...unexpected? Sydney continues burrowing into Michael's life: telling Jane about moving in with him; acquiring and donning a series of extremely Republican outfits; interceding on his behalf at work; and charging a bunch of furniture on his purloined credit card. How far is she willing to go with this gambit? Say "I do!" to our podcast on "With This Ball And Chain" and find out!

👮‍♂️ 21 Jump Street S01.E13: "Mean Streets And Pastel Houses" on Peacock

MP S02.E21: Swept Away Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

Reed understands why Jo is frustrated, having been stuck in the hold of his stupid boat for the better part of a day without food, water, much air, or a toilet. But she's just going to have to stay down there until his drug business is concluded -- and honestly it's her own fault for having looked into said business in the first place. Once he's sprung her, he goes to work convincing her that she'll be happier on the run with him than back in her dull, safe L.A. life, and maybe saved a little of his supply for his own use because she manages to get out of his eyeline a couple of times. Will Reed convince Jo to sign on for (yo ho, yo ho) a pirate's life? Alison, having figured out she was wildly overreacted to the scene at Billy's, remained in New York to talk it out with him. Agreeing that long-distance relationships suck and getting him to bone her apparently convince him that she wants him to surprise her by arranging for all her stuff to be moved to his place in New York. This proves to be an egregious miscalculation, and not his last for the episode. Sydney continues pressing her advantage with Michael, letting him know she's collected actual eyewitness evidence of his drinking on the night of the car accident and trolling him at work by sneaking into the lounge to put newspaper clippings about drunk driving accidents on the cork board. Her needling culminates in her showing up at the beach house with several suitcases and announcing that she's moving in. Michael responds with some threats and rough sex, but guess what? That's probably what she would have done to him if he hadn't started it, so it doesn't exactly scare her off. Let us sweep you away with our latest podcast, all about "Swept Away"!
