EDTV and INVENTING ANNA SEASON 1 EPISODE 6: Reviewed! 

YO! Podcast FREAKS! Let’s get freaky and let’s get poddy. I am so sorry. I think I am getting show notes brain rot. You know how it goes. Anyhoodles, the show! The show these here shownotes done be referring to, ya see! Ya hear!? We’re reviewing EDtv today, which is pleasantly surprising (pleasantville) and an episode of Inventing Anna. I can’t believe it’s already episode 4 of our fifth season. That is kind of crazy. 

You know what else is crazy? The SHEER CONSISTENCY with which we hit you up with these weekly episodes. It’s actually low key astonishing. I don’t mean to overly pat ourselves on the back here with the ol’ Barry H but … if our hard work has inspired one rogue cultural insurgent to create a whole website at cccappraisalhour.show for us (CHEERS! @Jvd_games on BlueSky!) well … why can’t another one of you pop up and sort out the remaining podcast infrastructure for us, YouTube and Patreon and all!?!? Hahahaha but seriously [email protected] we look forward to hearing from our super talented fans. And yes, if you refuse to do this for you … we will do it ourselves. Out of SPITE! Sometimes you need spite to motivate you, it’s true.

Fangirlish wrote up a very interesting and fangirly review of Inventing Anna Season 1 Episode 6 here: https://fangirlish.com/2022/02/16/inventing-anna-episode-6-review-what-happens-in-marrakesh/

As mentioned in an unprecedented moment of TANGENTIAL CONVERSING … this is Ezra Edelman talking to Pablo Torre about his banned Prince documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X93Y4ECBCeA

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When Christopher was reviewing EDtv and saying something very articulate and eloquent about how there was some point in that third act of EDtv when he was like “what’s happening now?” and then went on to describe the phone getting picked up and how he started googling other things and then he was suddenly like “how old is Elizabeth Hurley now?” That all popped me tbh. You can hear the lols in audio form tbf to you!
