155: Opie the Loan Shark

Content Note: This episode discusses media's portrayal of sexual assault for laughs Well, when you do enough AG double-headers, there's gonna be ones like these. We start with an episode that is absolutely nothing, and then move to a deeply upsetting one, one of the weirdest and grossest things put to TV. Also, Dan might get whacked for getting a haircut. AG Season 6, Episode 14 "The Church Organ" and 15 "Girl-Shy"

153: Mayberry's Designated Survivor

Okay a lot of weird stuff happened to Marty before and during this episode and we're going to talk about it a lot. But you'll be thanking us because it's a lot better than talking about Andy Griffith Show season 6 episodes 10 and 11, "Aunt Bee on TV" and "The Cannon."

152: Frankie Muniz, Political Consultant (w/ David Dylan Thomas, Kae Lani Palmisano, and Harris O'Malley)

It's an extra-long BREAKING MAYBERRY ALL-STARS featuring three of our favorite returning guests to talk about the three-no-wait-four-part Andy Griffith Epic - "The Hollywood Arc". Yes, for the first (only?) time in the show's run, the Taylors are leaving North Carolina, and this causes everyone to lose their damn minds. We brought in backup for this one, and our returning guests are bewildered and mystified and one case, deeply upset by Goober's hat. It's Season 6, Episodes 7, 8, and 9 "Off to Hollywood", "Taylors in Hollywood", and "The Hollywood Party".

151: Talkin TimeCop

Dan and Marty take a little break from the doldrums of Mayberry with the classic(?) action movie TimeCop, starring our favorite cokehead gymnast Jean-Claude Van Damme. Dan remembers a repressed shame, we talk JCVDs terrible acting, and we fantasize about using time travel very irresponsibly.
