MP S01.E07: My Way Jun 24, 2019

Show notes

Sandy does her mentor Charles Nelson Reilly proud by nailing her audition for a horror movie and booking the part. Naturally, her friends and neighbours are thrilled for her, but when she has to blow off their surprise party for a networking bash in the Hollywood Hills, everyone starts being a little less thrilled for her. Sandy's own excitement starts to ebb when she gets to the set and finds out the director wants to shoot her topless. Billy realizes he can't blow off his father's birthday party, largely because his sisters already decided to, so he tries to minimize the hassle his dad is going to give him about his career by bringing Alison (though he's also kind of forced to given that he's told his parents she's his girlfriend). Instead of standing firm with his father about pursuing his writing, Billy decides to honour the deal they'd made, and spend a year working in the family furniture store, though maybe his father wouldn't have pushed it if he'd known Billy planned to bitch about it the whole time. Speaking of furniture: Michael injures himself trying to move a dresser, and overestimates his ability to use his body while it's injured, finally admitting to Jane that he's trying to keep her from having to exert herself in any way during her pregnancy. We'll discuss more, much more than this, in our podcast on "My Way"!

BH S10.E16: The Final Proof Jun 17, 2019

Show notes

Since no one would have noticed otherwise, Josie has to come tell Dylan that Shane kidnapped Noah. And since Dylan is an idiot, he decides not to involve the police at all in delivering the full $1 million ransom Shane is demanding and co-operates with Josie in arranging for the handoff, because who could be more trustworthy than the drug dealer whose debt is the reason Shane needs the money in the first place? Donna lingers around the edges as Dr. Martin, freed by Felice's trip out of town, reaches out to Gina for the first time since Christmas. A dinner date gets awkward, but Gina and Dr. Martin keep trying; she's even calling him "Dad"! Surely their relationship can only keep getting better for the rest of one of their lives! Donna's much more involved as Matt signs himself and Kelly up for Lovers' Lane, a Newlywed Game ripoff with a cash prize of $25,000. Ill-timed food poisoning for Kelly requires a willing second to play her on TV, and STUFF ensues. David has the misfortune of having started dating someone a few days before Valentine's Day, and gets way too obsessive about making the occasion perfect for Camille -- even more so after her ex stalks her to Donna's store. Join us as we try to figure out "The Final Proof"!

MP S01.E06: Second Chances Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

When Alison literally ends a poker party by boring everyone with tales of her college cramming techniques, Jake is the only one intrigued...because it turns out he's about to take the GED exam and would like her help studying; he'd also like her to keep this whole project a secret from the rest of the nitwits in the complex, which of course means that when a bunch of them catch Alison coming out of Jake's apartment at 7 AM on a Saturday having fallen asleep amongst the books, they all jump to the wrong conclusion and Alison is too scrupulous to correct them. Billy and Sandy are united in not even caring if Jake and Alison are hooking up! They don't care at all!!! Rhonda is strangely ambivalent about attending a performance by a dance company featuring her old friend, Theresa. Matt gets the whole story over dinner with both of them: Rhonda and Theresa were both up for a spot in the company, but Rhonda broke her foot and missed the audition, and now she teaches Cardio Funk while Theresa enthralls audiences as a modern dancer. Theresa and Matt both urge Rhonda to try out for a slot the company has open now, but the more time Rhonda and Theresa spend together, the more obvious it is that there is still a lot of mutual resentment between them. We hope you won't resent our coverage of "Second Chances"!

BH S10.E15: Fertile Ground Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

A visit from Matt's brother Patrick and sister-in-law Juliane couldn't come at a better time, what with both him and Kelly suddenly having so much time on their hands. But Matt's not exactly excited for their arrival, since Patrick's a big finance bro who's always been critical of Matt. Patrick might be easier to get along with now, though, since he needs to ask a big favour: he's sterile, and would like Matt to donate sperm so that Patrick and Juliane may have a baby. Do we even need to say Kelly is a bitch about it? Donna might not go so far as to say Kelly is being a bitch about backing out of the new lease on the store, but she's terrified about having to network on her own. Turns out she should be, since her instincts suck, and she ends up dating a nerdy buyer so that he'll order some of her new sweaters. David's having much better luck, connecting with a fashion journalist (improbably) profiling Donna. Meanwhile, Noah's still embroiled with Josie and her aggro brother Shane, who aren't any easier to get along with now that Josie's pretty sure that if she doesn't come up with the $90,000 she owes her dealer for flushed coke, he's going to kill her. Noah doesn't really take their concerns seriously, since he's also still embroiled with Steve and Janet's nanny Darby, and required to do the emotional labour of assuring Steve that even if Darby isn't constantly talking about her one-night-stand with Steve, he's definitely probably the best she ever had. Having lost out on her chance to be a gym spokesmodel thanks to the "mix-up" that ended with her getting arrested on drug charges, Gina needs a job, and Dylan has a connection: a hotel regular named Russell who's a big wig at the "Super Sports Channel." Before he'll consider her, though, Russell needs her to help whip his lazy son Michael into shape for his school's big dance, three days hence. Michael knows his dad disdains him, and confides in Gina that their relationship has been hard ever since his mother's death. Seeing in Russell shades of taskmaster Bobbie, Gina decides to be Michael's hero. We discuss it all in our podcast on "Fertile Ground"!

MP S01.E05: Leap Of Faith May 27, 2019

Show notes

Remember that super-hot chili dog seduction (https://www.againwiththis90210.com/mp103) Michael pulled off a couple of episodes ago? Well, it turns out that hot dog really made Jane lose control, because now she's accidentally pregnant. Attempts to warm Michael up on the idea of parenthood this early in his hospital internship fail, as he convinces her that they owe it to themselves to spend a few years fulfilling their own professional aspirations before adding a child to the mix, and she decides to find out what's involved in getting an abortion without ever telling him she was pregnant at all. In the process, she makes the mistake of telling Rhonda, who can't help opening her big mouth to Michael. Billy has, improbably, landed a column at a free weekly magazine (at $25 a pop: still seems high). Realizing he doesn't actually have any interesting life experiences to fill inches with, he decides to try bungee-jumping, forcing his subconscious to remind him, in a dream, that he's desperately afraid of heights. We take you through in our podcast on "Leap Of Faith"!

BH S10.E14: I’m Using You ‘Cause I Like You May 20, 2019

Show notes

Donna and David, sick of being single, decide to try their luck at getting set up with people in Matt's Rolodex -- though Donna ends up passing when a random guy wanders into the store and asks her out. Have her romantic instincts sharpened during her journey of celibacy and self-improvement? Meanwhile, David's date, a lawyer named Chrissy, is everything he could possibly want in a woman, and he's so eager to open up to her that he tells her all about Matt's new client and the worker's comp settlement Matt is pursuing on his behalf. But whoops, Chrissy knows Matt is under suspension, and reminds him that she's on the bar association's ethics committee. Will Matt heed this warning, or is he guided by the same terrible judgment that got him suspended in the first place? Kelly is also in the middle of a career crisis -- the same one she's been in for months, not knowing if running a store is actually her passion, or if she just wants to hang around because she's not ready to start losing touch with her...friends from not just high school but also elementary school. You'd think Dylan would make this process easy by being a prick to her, but as we know, this just makes him more attractive to her. Gina is compelled to spend time with him since he and Noah and Noah's new party pals are going to cool club openings where Jennifer Lopez compliments her shoes (offscreen, OBVIOUSLY). But she has doubts about Noah's sexiest AND cokiest friend, Josie. When Noah manages to get out of bed before noon, he happens by the Peach Pit while Steve and Janet are orienting their new nanny, Darby, and immediately hits on her. Will Noah actually heed Steve's orders that Noah keep his hands off her? Find out with our podcast on "I'm Using You 'Cause I Like You"!

MP S01.E04: For Love Or Money May 13, 2019

Show notes

Alison is getting into a flirtation with Rick (Gremlins's Zach Galligan!), the kid from the mailroom with the excellent taste in breakfast carbs. Except, he's not just the kid from the mailroom; he's also the son of a big D&D sunscreen client. When Alison shares one of her campaign concepts over dinner, he can't resist passing it off as his own and defensively claiming to have had it before she mentioned it to him. Alison complains to a higher-up, who gives Alison a chance to present ideas with Rick -- and since Rick apparently doesn't have any ideas of his own, it's a perfect opportunity for her to shiv him. But will she? Jake, still (always) hard up for money, drops in on a fancy Italian café; while failing to learn how to use the espresso machine, he's accosted by Perry, a flame from his past. The two of them used to run short cons together, and it turns out she still is: she's passing herself off as an art dealer, and could use Jake as the face of her newest discovery when she tries to sell "his" work (actually just a bunch of splatters and butt prints). Jake's integrity finds itself at war with his limited financial prospects, again. Gay Matt finds the halfway house budget slashed again, and needs volunteers to help him prepare meals for residents. Rhonda enthusiastically signs herself up for a shift, only to have to take it back just a couple of hours before she's supposed to start. Will Rhonda and Gay Matt's friendship survive her flaking? We discuss this and more in our podcast on "For Love Or Money"!

BH S10.E13: Tainted Love May 06, 2019

Show notes

Matt and Kelly are joyously affianced for about five minutes before a crisis strikes: Matt's rich client, Mr. Behr, decides to settle his lawsuit, meaning he'll no longer need Matt on retainer. Unfortunately, Matt immediately turned around and spent that retainer on Kelly's ring. Gina, hired back on as Matt's assistant, goes to the only rich person she's still talking to and who'll give her $15,000, no questions asked. However, Matt's smart enough to figure out where she got it, and Dylan's smart enough to figure out whom it's for, and the dick-measuring contest has to go into triple overtime. What will Kelly do when Matt comes clean? And will Dylan get his shit together in time for Maddy's christening?! Noah and Donna are embarking on single life in rather different ways: Noah has made a whole new party posse and is drinking himself into oblivion nightly, while Donna decides to take David's advice and give Java Hut manager Mark a chance to take her out. Does their date end bitterly, with burned tongues all around? Find out with our podcast on "Tainted Love"!

MP S01.E03: Lost & Found Apr 29, 2019

Show notes

After weeks of vacillation between pushing Kelly away and letting her hook him again with her youthful feminine wiles, Jake finally decides to cut things off with her definitively. Because it's a soap, this happens not with an honest conversation and/or appeal to the criminal code, but through moderate subterfuge Kelly might just be too inexperienced to see through. When Michael has to punk out on his plans to celebrate his and Jane's three-month anniversary (no) of moving to L.A. (why?), she lets her female neighbours talk her into enjoying a night out on her own. Alas, this soon escalates to a screwball plan to pass herself off as a single woman and prove she can still pick up dudes, in the course of which she loses her heirloom wedding ring. Billy has read about seven-figure screenplay sales and therefore abandoned his plans to be a novelist and written a script instead. Has he ever done so before? No. Is he still confident enough to drop it off with prospective agents the day after finishing it? Well, he's a white man, so: yes. It falls to Alison to break the news that, unfortunately, he sucks. Don't get lost on your way to our podcast on "Lost & Found"!
