Episode 146 - GLOW S2E8 - The Good Twin · My Third Place Pod

0:01
My favorite podcast has ended its run this week in the span of
0:06
four years. I would always look forward to
0:08
it. It started on another podcast
0:10
when someone mentioned that it was about music.
0:14
So I went to go check what it was about and it was a
0:16
retrospective look at the 90s, not just that decade, but it
0:21
what it meant and the music itself.
0:24
Some music that I used to love and some that I just learned
0:27
about, but now it's over. Now what do I have to look
0:33
forward to? I have a lineup of professional
0:38
podcast and indie podcast that I listened throughout the week and
0:44
that one was one of my favorites.
0:45
That one was without a doubt that I knew was going to appear
0:51
on the Spotify wrapped when they got around to it.
0:55
So and so have to listen to this podcast and these other podcast
1:00
top five. I'm obviously going to go back
1:04
to the very first episode, listen to it in its entirety
1:07
again, and maybe that host will come back and do another
1:10
podcast. But for now, it's not about
1:13
saying goodbye to it. It's more like what it made me
1:17
feel and how it made me, so to speak.
1:23
Do you get me? Do you get what I'm saying?
1:26
I guess podcasts now are a new TV series, whereas to you, I
1:32
guess podcasts now are the new TV series, whereas you had to
1:35
wait a few months for the TV series that you loved to come
1:38
back from hiatus or another season.
1:41
But for podcast, if it's doing good, you know it's coming back.
1:45
They even tell you you're taking a break.
1:49
Nowadays you have to look at their social media to know if
1:52
they're coming back or not, to know if they're OK to know if
1:56
something had happened. For TV series, you have to wait
2:01
a few months. But if it was something you
2:04
loved and it got cancelled, the day is ruined for you.
2:08
The day is ruined for me. You start to look at social
2:13
media again and find out the reason for his cancellation and
2:16
even go into Facebook group or start a group discussion of your
2:19
own and get other like minded fans to come along.
2:24
That's now. That's how we feel Now Imagine
2:28
what it was like for the people before the Internet.
2:31
Before you could find out if your show got cancelled.
2:34
Before you found out who was joining your favorite show.
2:39
Before, you could find out if there are other people like you
2:43
that share the same views as you about that show.
2:48
Do you like that show? Also?
2:50
Let's be friends. Why don't you like about that
2:53
season? Let's be friends.
2:56
You don't like that character? Me neither.
2:57
Let's be friends. Let me tell you my favorite
3:02
shows that I enjoyed watching. This is going to be small.
3:05
This is going to be a small thing.
3:06
I I'm. I know I'm going to have to
3:10
start another episode, another podcast, and list all my
3:14
favorite shows, but I don't have time for that on this episode.
3:19
When I do have time is to list a few of my favorite shows.
3:24
Either they ended their run or got cancelled, or worse yet,
3:29
they jumped the shark by killing off a main character.
3:33
It happens. It happens everywhere.
3:36
Let's start this list off. Let's start off with Buffy the
3:39
Vampire Slayer. Debuted March 10th, 1997, Ended
3:43
his run on May 10th, 2003. I can pinpoint the exact time
3:51
this was getting canceled. I for sure thought after season
3:55
five and the episode The Wish where Buffy sacrificed with
3:59
herself or her sister would be the end of it.
4:02
But instead it comes back from season 6 and layer 7 on another
4:07
network, and then everyone finds out during season 7 on the
4:13
magazine in an interview with Sarah Michelle Gellar that
4:17
season seven would be its last. We get it.
4:21
The show had ended, of course, and there are no more stories to
4:25
tell until later years when it gets continued in comic book
4:29
form. It was expected.
4:33
What fans didn't expect however, is when the WB pull the plug on
4:37
Buffy spin off series Angel Angel October 5th 1999 to May
4:45
19th, 2004. Oh boy, where?
4:49
Where? On February 14th, 2004 the WB
4:55
network announced that Angel would not be brought back for a
4:58
sixth season. The one paragraph statement
5:01
indicated that the news, which had been reported by an
5:05
interview Internet site the previous day, had been leaked
5:09
well before the network intended to make its announcement.
5:14
Joss Whedon, creator both Buffy and Angel, posted a message on
5:19
the popular fan site The Bronze Beta, in which he expressed his
5:23
dismay and surprise, saying he was heartbroken and described
5:28
the situation as healthy. Guy falls dead from heart
5:31
attack? Sure, fan reaction was to
5:35
organize letter writing campaigns, online petitions,
5:39
blood and food drives, advertisement and trade
5:42
magazines, and via mobile billboards and attempts to lobby
5:46
other networks. UPN was a favorite target as it
5:50
had already picked up Buffy. Outrage for the cancellation
5:55
focused on Jordan Levin, W BS Head of entertainment.
5:58
It was the second highest rated program to be canceled on the
6:01
WB. Writer and producer David Ferrie
6:05
guarantees that if Joss Whedon hadn't requested an early
6:09
renewal, Angel would have been back for a season six, he says.
6:15
The only reason that Angel didn't come back it's very
6:18
simple saying because our ratings were up because our of
6:22
our critical attention. Joss specifically asked Jordan
6:25
Levin, who was the head of the WB at the time, to give us an
6:30
early pick up. Because every year they would
6:33
wait so long to give Angel a pickup, and a lot of us will
6:36
turn down jobs hoping that Angel will continue.
6:39
Joss didn't want to have that to happen, so he was feeling very
6:43
confident and he just, Joss just asked Jordan, like, make your
6:49
decision now whether you're going to pick us up or not.
6:53
And Jordan started with his hands tied behind his back, with
6:59
his back up against the wall. Called him the next day and
7:02
said, OK, we're canceling you. George is no longer there.
7:08
And the WB has since recognized, I believe Garth Ansher as the WB
7:13
said that it was a big mistake to cancel Angel.
7:17
There's a power play that happened that just didn't fall
7:19
out of the way they wanted it to.
7:21
We wanted to get an early pick up.
7:23
We didn't. In fact, we forced them to make
7:25
the decision, and with his hand forced, Levin made that decision
7:30
to cancel us. I guarantee that if we waited as
7:35
we normally did, by the time May had come around, they would have
7:39
picked up Angel. I can guarantee that as fans we
7:45
knew we were headed to the final episode though the races we were
7:49
headed to the Fraces so to speak, when Joss Whedon was
7:53
attached to the director of the 15th episode of the season, A
7:57
Hole in the World. When one of the most wholesome
8:02
and favorite characters on the show on the series, Fred, dies
8:08
and is infected as a demon that stays throughout the remainder
8:10
of the show. She is no longer our Fred, she
8:16
is now a demon. Next up, the OC from August 5th,
8:22
2003 to February 22nd 2007. OK, OK, OK OK.
8:30
So you know this one hits home for me because I'm from
8:35
California originally and I was in love.
8:38
I was in love with the show. I love the show.
8:43
I I I tried to go back though. I tried to go back to watch
8:47
season one earlier, like 3 days ago, but it's too problematic
8:51
for me. I'll watch it, but it's like
8:54
damn it, I missed. The drama DOC made indie rock a
8:59
main focus of the series, and it's also its marketing plan,
9:04
releasing 6 soundtracks throughout the series.
9:07
In the second season, a fictional new nightclub and
9:09
concert venue called The Bait Shop was introduced.
9:13
Bands including The Walkman, The Killers, Modest Mouth Thrills,
9:17
Rachel Yamagata, Desk Cat for Cutie and The Subways all made
9:20
guest appearance on the show performing at the venue.
9:25
But I get it. I get that it has Four Seasons.
9:30
But to me, to me, to me, right here, you know why?
9:33
You know what happened? Do you know what happened at the
9:36
end of season three? It ended for me, it ended.
9:43
I talked earlier about how a show dies when a character dies.
9:47
Well, spoiler alert to whoever hasn't seen it yet.
9:50
I'm sorry, I'm going to ruin it right here and there.
9:53
When Marissa Cooper, main character since episode wine
9:58
since episode one dies, kills get killed, so did everything I
10:05
believed of this show. I died along with it.
10:11
Created a show. Creator of the show, Josh
10:14
Schwartz said into 2023 that Marissa died in the third season
10:17
because the many online fans by then disliked her storyline and
10:22
the network wanted to kill the main character to increase
10:25
ratings. OK, kill Rachel.
10:29
No, I'm kidding. We needed Rachel.
10:35
The night without the show aired, we heard from a whole
10:38
other swath of the audience that loved the show, watched every
10:41
week, didn't feel the need to log into a forum to analyze it.
10:45
For a lot of people, Marissa was the character they were watching
10:48
for. Mischa Barton was the actor they
10:51
found the most exciting, and Ryan and Marissa were end game.
10:54
They truly were. That was my end game.
10:59
We violated that in one fell swoop.
11:01
It's now part of the legacy of the show.
11:05
We've had to accept it. They accepted it.
11:09
I did it. I hated it.
11:11
I didn't even want to watch Season 4 due to this low
11:15
ratings. It was rumored that the show
11:16
would not return for our fifth season.
11:18
Told you in June 2006 box to confirm that the current order
11:22
for the OC 16 episodes, but added that there were a chance
11:25
to add more installments. In September 2006, Rachel Bilson
11:29
said that she felt like the show is over and Co * Kelly Rowland
11:34
stated that many of the cast realized that the show was close
11:36
to being canceled. Rowan said that when the 4th
11:40
season was picked up for just 16 episodes this year, the cast had
11:43
a feeling the end was near. On January 3rd, 2007, Fox
11:48
announced that The OC was to be canceled.
11:52
In a statement, Short said this feels like the best time to
11:54
bring the show to its close, adding that what a better time
11:58
to go out and creatively on top. Fox launched an official
12:03
campaign on their website called Save the OC.
12:07
You know, because Save the Cheerleaders, Save the World was
12:11
big at the time. So why not just Save the OC,
12:17
which garnered over 740,000 signatures?
12:20
There are rumors that the show would be saved by The CW.
12:23
The CW president Don Osder confirmed in January 2007 that
12:27
while the move was discussed, it was decided against And finally
12:35
to end this segment through a close 60 songs that are playing
12:40
in the 90s. October 2020 through March 2024,
12:45
one of my favorite podcasts had run this course ended this week.
12:53
It debuted in October 2020. I learned about this podcast
12:57
from Ryder Strong, Sean Hunter from Boy Meets World who Co
13:01
hosts a podcast with Danielle Fischel and Will Fredell called
13:04
Pod Meets World. You have to check it out.
13:07
I podcast about their time in Boy Meets World writer one
13:10
episode chatted Bob Harville out and this podcast and how should
13:15
be a sister show to their podcast.
13:17
So I went to go check it out and I fell in love with it.
13:21
The host Rob Harvilla, Senior Staff Writer ringer.
13:25
He's been a professional rock critic for 20 plus years.
13:28
We stopped at the Village Boy spin.
13:30
That's been another various alternative weeklies that
13:34
generally no longer exist. That's what it says on here, by
13:36
the way. Not his fault.
13:39
This is his trailer for the podcast.
13:42
The goal? Explain the 1990s in exactly 60
13:45
songs. Radiohead.
13:47
Tupac Mariah Carey Lauryn Hill Wonderwall.
13:50
Enter Sandman. You ought to know Cream The
13:53
greater goal. Move past cheap nostalgia to
13:55
something deeper and weirder and better.
13:58
My name is Rob Harvilla, I'm a music critic at the Ringer and
14:00
my new show is called indeed 60 Songs That Explain the 90s.
14:05
Since that title is fairly self-explanatory, I figured I'd
14:08
explain who qualifies me to host this.
14:11
Here is my resume. In 1992 I won a trophy for
14:14
wearing more corduroy and flannel than any other 13 year
14:17
old in America. Freshman year of college, I was
14:20
in a third wave ska band that broke up and reformed without
14:23
me. As an emo band.
14:25
I nearly started a civil war at my college radio station by
14:28
putting You Got Me by The Roots and Heavy Rotation.
14:31
I cried the first time I heard York's hyper ballad, which
14:34
incidentally occurred somewhere between the ska band and the emo
14:36
band. One time I wrote out the lyrics
14:39
to Sunny Day Real Estates in Circles by hand and mailed them
14:42
to a girl. All of those are true, except
14:45
the first one. This is my perspective.
14:47
Crucially, in every episode I'll be joined by fellow writers,
14:50
critics, musicians, enthusiasts and ringer luminaries with
14:53
wildly different perspectives. Whether you're full of teenage
14:56
angst, you feel bored and old, whether you don't know the song
14:59
at all or you know it far too well, we'll take you through the
15:02
decade, one killer track at a time. 60 Songs That Explain the
15:06
90s is released every Thursday. Listen for free on Spotify.
15:12
You're probably asking why did it take him four years to talk
15:15
about 60 songs that play in the 90s?
15:17
Well, it didn't. Somewhere along episode 50 or 53
15:22
or 54, people wanted more songs. I wanted more songs because how
15:26
are you going not to include Eminem or Garth Brooks or
15:31
Michael Jackson or Reba? The list went on and on with
15:36
fans and his colleagues alike. Well, his list went from 60
15:41
songs to den nighty. He kept the train running for
15:45
another 30 songs. What the hell?
15:48
Why not? Up until the point he got to
15:50
episode 90 again, fans wanted more.
15:53
He wanted more. I wanted more than Nighty became
15:56
120 episodes. He said he would be done at 120
16:00
episodes and maybe he is or maybe he isn't.
16:03
But on March 13th he went to Twitter and said this.
16:08
The 120th and final episode of 60 songs That explain the 90s is
16:13
on Semi Sonic's closing time and I maybe get a little e-mail
16:17
about it. Many thanks.
16:20
Plus apologies to Yasi Salik for gracefully handling a
16:24
conversation that basically starts with me asking why do we
16:26
do this? This show will be back later
16:29
this year in an exciting and begun new form, but for now I'm
16:33
eternally grateful to my day one producer, editor, Guru Dox
16:38
Ellis, who always lets me cook, and the eternally patient
16:42
Jonathan Kerma and his noble predecessors Isaac Lee and Deb
16:48
Ma Eternal. Thanks also to each and every
16:53
guest for their wisdom, patience with my, uh, evolving interview
16:58
skills. God bless Sean Fantasy, Bill
17:02
Simmons, and the whole Ringer crew.
17:06
I couldn't do this without them in various extremely literal
17:08
ways. And finally, thank you so much
17:10
to everyone for listening for your very delightful DMS and
17:13
emails for your helpful pronunciation corrections for
17:15
making a bizarre plus scary plus lonely span of four years feel a
17:19
little less so. Thank you.
17:22
Truly, the show will be back and I'm not dying or anything.
17:25
I am just, as previously mentioned, very emo.
17:29
Also, I wrote a book also called 60 Songs that is played in the
17:32
90s that I definitely should have mentioned earlier but
17:35
market really threw me off my game.
17:40
I as long I as a long time fan wanted to thank Rob Harvilla
17:47
from the bottom of my heart for taking me back while listening
17:50
to these 90s classic songs. So I tweeted at him.
17:54
I feel like this is closure. I was inspired by these episodes
17:59
from start to finish. I will miss 30 minutes of cold
18:02
open monologues and then intros that had nothing to do with the
18:04
songs and then the songs and interviews.
18:08
I'm going to start again from the first episode.
18:11
Thank you. And yes, he inspired me.
18:16
A small podcaster. The way I do my episodes, the
18:19
way I talk, the way I edit. Rob Harvilla, although he
18:25
doesn't know who the hell I am, inspired A podcaster who didn't
18:30
quit and continued to make content.
18:31
No matter what everyone thought of him, Rob Harvilla is and
18:37
always will be him. Welcome back Father's behavior
19:22
squad. This is an extremely important
19:25
thing. I have to tell you tonight that
19:30
this is episode 146 and I'm Ivo and of course we're coming to
19:36
you from under the apron. Nothing else.
19:42
No, nothing new. Let's just get right back, right
19:45
into the hole. Why we're here.
19:47
For those that are new, this is a recap and review episode of
19:50
the TV series GLOW on Netflix, a show about the Gorgeous ladies
19:54
of Wrestling that was set in the 80s.
19:57
At times I will have bits and trivia here and there with
20:00
additional interviews from the creators, directors or stars of
20:03
the show throughout the years. All in all, it makes for an
20:06
awesome episode. If you haven't yet, watch GLOW.
20:09
I suggest you do so and follow along as I recap and tell you
20:12
what I saw the episode. And if you haven't yet, check
20:15

20:18

21:18
Season 2, Episode five. People are perverts too.
21:22
Damn, they're they're a pretty good team.
21:28
They're pretty good writers. Synopsis is the moment you've
21:31
been waiting for a Straight to the Airwaves episode of GLOW,
21:34
complete with a dream sequence, music videos, and epic wrestling
21:39
warning. Please do not take this episode
21:42
series as the show. Within the show aspect.
21:47
It just feels like how the original GLOW felt at the time.
21:53
It's the show. It's just the show.
21:57
The show starts with no music. The cold open, the KDBT.
22:03
The show starts with no music. The cold open.
22:05
It's the KDTV logo with an arrow view of North Hollywood, CA.
22:10
A voice says you are watching KDTV, the premier cable channel,
22:14
the San Fernando Valley. The scene which is the show The
22:17
USSR flag and below Other words Potato, Grad, Prosser, Rob
22:22
Oblast, USSR. After a phone's heard ringing
22:26
and a woman hobbled off to the old timey phone to pick it up, a
22:29
split screen of Ruth dressed as Zoya's on the left side with a
22:32
1980s a 1980s modern wired telephone.
22:39
She's sitting on a bed of hotel rooms smoking a cigarette.
22:42
Ruth is also on the right side of the split screen in a Russian
22:45
accent. Says Hello.
22:47
Left side, Ruth, says Olga. It is Zoya, your identical twin
22:52
sister. Olga, excited to hear her
22:56
sister's voice, says. Oh, hello, I'm sorry it takes so
22:59
long to answer phone. As you know, I have severely
23:01
deformed foot. It was mangled by agriculture,
23:05
conveyor belt and childhood. It has never fully recovered.
23:10
There is audience laughter in the background now, watching
23:16
glow. There was audience laughter
23:18
hinting at a sitcom. It is a sitcom.
23:21
It is a funny show, Soya says. Yes, I know.
23:24
It's only discernible difference between us.
23:27
Except now there is one more. I have small child.
23:32
Olga excitedly asked if she has given birth, Soya says.
23:36
Of course Niet. She is frigid and barren like
23:39
Siberian tundra, Olga says. She recalls.
23:44
It was cruel nickname of hers in high school Siberian tundra.
23:50
Zoya yells at Olga to shut up and then explain that she has
23:53
kidnapped the small daughter of Great American rival Liberty
23:57
Bell and she is holding her at fortress guarded by evil Minion.
24:01
Her plan is to indoctrinate her into Marxist thought and sell
24:04
her to hide his bidder. She asked Olga to help find
24:07
motivated buyer and she will split the money with her.
24:10
Goodbye. Zoya hangs up.
24:13
Olga hangs up the phone and says that was her sister Zoya.
24:17
Russell is sitting in front of her with a weird hair wig that
24:20
makes him look like an old Russian man.
24:22
He asked what did she say? Olga explains to Russian Russell
24:27
that Loya has kidnapped child of Great American rival Liberty
24:31
Bell. Now she wants her help to sell
24:33
her. But as everyone knows she is the
24:35
good twin and she has decided she will help Liberty Bell
24:38
retrieve lost child and foil sister's evil plot.
24:43
She was born the next Goat for America.
24:46
Russian Russell asked if she means boat.
24:51
Olga clarifies that she's made of rubbles.
24:54
She only has money for Goat Journey.
24:59
Russian Russell looks into the camera like a weekend nod.
25:01
The audience laughed again. Bash's voice is heard from the
25:06
is heard from the Hayward Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.
25:09
Is GLOW the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling Bash runs down the
25:15
matches. It's Science versus magic as
25:17
Britannica squares up against Black Magic and the main event,
25:21
Liberty Bell searched for her daughter Lisa straight into a
25:24
death match with Vicki Viking. All this and more on GLOW the
25:28
Gorgeous Ladies of Rustling. They show the intro everyone
25:31
worked on at the beginning of the season, which also caused
25:34
Reggie to get fired. I love the color scheme at the
25:40
beginning, and it's going to show every time Olga comes onto
25:43
the screen. Zoya is in America, so it's
25:45
colorful and upbeat, and Olga is more dark, dark and somber
25:49
colors, kind of cold. Kind of like a Cold War.
25:56
OK, I don't think anyone caught, but I did.
25:59
And I might edit this into the IMDb site under the trivia in
26:02
the Did You Know? Section at the start of the show
26:06
when they showed the USSR flag. And then they did reading Potato
26:09
Grad Praserab. A Blasiuszar Potato grad is just
26:13
fictional in this universe, has nothing to do with anything.
26:17
It's the other words Praserab referring to a play called The
26:19
Three Sisters by the Russian author and playwright Anton
26:22
Chekhov. It was written 1900 and first
26:25
performed in 19 O1 at the Moscow Art Theater.
26:30
The play is often included on the short list of Shekov's
26:32
outstanding plays, along with The Cherry Orchard, The Seagull,
26:36
and The Uncle Vanya. This play The Three Sisters, is
26:42
about three sisters, obviously Irina, Masha and Olga Prasarab.
26:48
This makes sense, and it was probably Ruth's idea to include
26:51
this plan to the mix, to explain why she isn't a leg cast and
26:55
finish out the rest of the story.
26:59
When Zoya tells Olga, she plans to indoctrinate Livery Belle's
27:02
daughter into Marxist thought. His other highest bitter.
27:05
Zoya wants to traffic and turn the little girl into a communist
27:09
by having her work at such a young age.
27:13
The 80s were wild. Back to the segment, Olga says.
27:18
Here we goat. She puts 2 blankets on top of a
27:21
goat. As the audience laughed.
27:22
America or bust, she points at America with her crutch.
27:26
We see a map in the background with a goat has a guide where
27:30
Elga travels from Potato Grad to the Great Wall of China right
27:35
into a background of Egypt and the pyramids up to maps as
27:39
Brussels. She makes it to New York on the
27:42
goat. Apparently goats can swim like
27:45
boats, goat boat, and finally makes it to Hollywood, CA.
27:50
Olga and her goat are sitting outside the diner near the gym
27:53
that you saw in season one when we were first introduced to
27:56
them. Olga yells Hollywood, what a
27:58
country as she's wearing the Statue of Liberty crown, a beach
28:02
body shirt. She has two plates of
28:05
cheeseburgers and fries on the table on the chair.
28:07
One is for her and the other with their goat, who seems to be
28:09
eating the lettuce. She tells the goat for the first
28:12
time you can eat a hamburger without committing convalism,
28:15
and we have kit tickets to Cats Broadway.
28:20
She knows it's touring production, but what do you
28:22
expect? She listened to the goat saying
28:24
that she is forgetting true purpose.
28:26
Here. Olga agrees with the goat.
28:29
She must find Liberty Belle and tell her she know where small
28:32
daughter is and goat must see cats alone.
28:37
The show does an optical flip in the next segment.
28:41
We are writing Britannica Science Adventure Lab.
28:44
The mannequin that she's been carrying is on the operating
28:47
table. She says.
28:48
All right, that should do it. Now I just need to turn the
28:51
power on and soon our conversation will not be so one
28:54
sided, for you will have life, my darling.
29:00
She laughed maniacally and says from the life of plastic to hunk
29:03
of man. She pulls the lever and then
29:06
electricity cackles. After a few seconds, she checks
29:09
on Thomas the mannequin, ask if it's alive yet the audience
29:13
laugh. She begins to cry, saying she
29:16
doesn't understand it worked on the rubber chicken a woman's
29:20
heard laughing loudly and appears with smoke.
29:23
Britannica asked who she is and how did she get in the lab.
29:26
The woman says she is black magic and she has come to help.
29:31
She says she can take the Quinn out of mannequin and leave her
29:34
with a tasty man, but it will cost her something.
29:38
Britannica asked what it will cost her.
29:40
Black Magic says her brain as we hear more Thunder from the
29:43
outside. Britannica says she needs her
29:47
brain for work. Black Magic yells at her.
29:49
Not if she has a man to take care of her.
29:52
She leans in closer and tells her how to let her turn.
29:55
Tom is real and forget all of Britannica's ambitions.
30:00
Britannica says She's been lonely, so give her a minute to
30:02
sink it over, Black Magic Sack says.
30:06
Black magic says to sink while she goes to the restroom and
30:09
disappears. OK, bashes robot that got water
30:14
poured on him through earlier in season one, appears and tells
30:19
Britannica it's a bad idea. Britannica says don't worry,
30:23
Globot. She would never give up her
30:25
smarts, not even for Thomas, at least not before.
30:29
Backing her brain on a bloppy disk, she says she would tie a
30:33
string around her finger to remind herself to reinstall her
30:35
old intelligence and she should be ready to go.
30:39
The toilet flushes and black magic back from the restroom.
30:41
Asked if she's made her decision, Britannica says yes,
30:45
she can have her brain. Anything for love.
30:49
Black magic tells her that her priorities are in the right
30:51
place. Black Magic does a chanting
30:53
spell in the mannequin. Warm this man so that he feels
30:56
that he must pay for meals. He'll open jars and help his
30:59
chores. And Britannica will be single,
31:02
never more. Globot has the worst Danger
31:06
written across the screen. The Thunder roars and she
31:10
disappears as Thomas comes alive.
31:11
Played by Bash, he sits up and tells Britannica that yes, it's
31:16
him now and forever Darling. We get a lip song when Taj of
31:21
them going on dates with vocals from both Britannica and Bash.
31:26
Thomas whatever they are seeing horseback riding in the park,
31:29
having a picnic. Thomas head sitting on Britt's
31:32
lap while he's telling her something, kite flying and
31:35
watching the hills. Britannica tells Thomas he makes
31:40
her so happy that she don't remember what life was like
31:43
before she met him. Thomas says he doesn't either.
31:47
Literally. He doesn't remember anything
31:49
before 2 hours ago. He asks with the string around
31:52
her finger. She sings as an engagement
31:55
string and sings Thomas was going to propose.
31:58
The scene ends in the shape of a heart as they kiss.
32:04
Hi everyone. I'm Lisa.
32:05
And I'm Dawn. And if you've ever watched a TV
32:07
show and thought to yourself, Oh my God, that season finale plot
32:09
to us was absolutely bonkers. Or seen a movie and thought,
32:12
wow, I need to talk to somebody about this train wreck
32:15
immediately. Then we think you'll fit right
32:17
in with our podcast. I hate it.
32:18

33:03
Happy listening. Next segment Griefer Size with
33:10
Liberty Bell. The color of the words GRIEFER
33:13
Size with Liberty Bell are in red, white, and blue.
33:16
Obviously, it's a parody of the Jane Fonda workout videos that
33:19
were released throughout the 80s.
33:22
Liberty Bell, still with no daughter, is leading a workout
33:25
routine alongside Melrose, Junk Chain, and Machu Picchu in the
33:28
back. Liberty Bell, still grieving in
33:31
pain that her daughter is missing, tells the girls to do
33:34
high knees while sweating those sorrows away.
33:37
That's what griefer's size is all about.
33:39
Whatever is bothering you, just let it go, Melrose cries.
33:43
At size 7 1/2 is always the first size to go in any shoe
33:46
sale. Junk Chain cries that they
33:49
canceled Charles in charge. Oh no.
33:52
Liberty sells that all the that is terrible and she is mourning
33:56
the lost of her daughter Savannah Rose, her poor missing
34:00
baby. Machu Picchu asks if Larry
34:03
Bell's OK, to which she answers no.
34:09
Machu Picchu asks if Larry Bell's OK, to which she answers
34:12
and yells no, but cool down. The camera catches her face in
34:17
agony, going back to junk chain. Little thing there.
34:22
Charles in Charge Getting cancelled Charles in Charge
34:25
premiered on October 3rd, 1984 and was canceled after 22
34:28
episodes which last aired on April 3rd, 1985.
34:34
One year later, after seeing the success of some canceled network
34:38
series after they were revived for first round syndication,
34:41
which is a significant trend at the time, Universal decided to
34:46
rework and relaunch Charles in charge and syndication.
34:50
The show premiered on local stations at the midway point of
34:53
the 198697 season, with the first episode of the new series
34:57
premiering on January 3rd, 1987. Four Seasons were produced for
35:02
syndication, with the last episode airing on November 10th,
35:05
1990. In total, 126 episodes were
35:09
produced, 22 in the abbreviated first season and 26 in each of
35:13
the syndicated seasons. When the show returned in 1987,
35:16
only Scott Baio and Willie Ames returned from the original cast
35:20
as the producers rework the story to accommodate the changes
35:23
in cast, So Junk Chain will probably be happy again in the
35:28
next few years. Hey, Charlton charges back All
35:33
right. Next segment, Liberty Bell is
35:37
taking a shower and still crying.
35:39
Ominous music begins to play as the point of view from the
35:42
outside the shower. A little psycho parody here with
35:50
the reference. With the silhouette of a hand on
35:52
the door or the shower outside, a hairy man's hand extends and
35:56
opens the door. Liberty Bell screams, which
35:59
makes Olga scream as well. The audience laugh.
36:05
It was the hand of Olga. She has a hairy man's hand.
36:09
Larry Bell covers her body and asks Olga what is she doing
36:12
here. Olga says she comes to have
36:15
private conversation and shower, and then realizes Liberty Bell
36:17
still sings Olga as Loya. She introduces herself as Olga,
36:22
her good twin, and we are identical except she has put
36:24
deformity regard. She points down.
36:28
Liberty Bell looks down and gasp.
36:31
Oh my God, it's terrible. She asked.
36:33
What does she want? Olga says she want for help
36:37
rescue small babies. Savannah Rose.
36:39
Zoya keeps her fortress guarded by minions up tall, tall hill,
36:45
too tall for her to climb with her deformity.
36:47
But she can go to there and bring her little daughter back
36:49
home to Bosom, where she points at Liberty Bell's breast.
36:54
Liberty Bell asked why she should trust her, Olga explained
36:58
well many years ago in Soviet Union.
37:00
Zoya's golden child, Comrade Brasneb himself says she is a
37:04
great example of Soviet womanhood since Nadezh such as
37:07
Oba, female Olympic shop foot champion.
37:10
They show an image of her at the 1976 Olympics fanfare play.
37:14
The audience laugh at the Liberty Bell.
37:16
Still don't know who she is, Olga continues.
37:19
All her life she has. They hated her for this.
37:22
But also she loves America. Democracy, Coca-Cola, Walter
37:25
Disney and Mickey Rourke. Ooga a little ooga for Mickey
37:31
Rourke who at the time was in the year the Dragon.
37:35
Google that Mickey Rourke in 1985.
37:39
That's why she's saying Ooga not nice or Ricky Rourke now, she
37:43
continues. The motivation is ideological as
37:46
well. Liberty Spell says she can't
37:49
thank her enough, and after she returns her daughter safely,
37:52
she's going to reward Olga by giving her money for an
37:55
operation to fix her foot. Olga surprised at such a thing
38:00
as possible, she yells. America, God bless you.
38:03
What a country. Ha ha.
38:06
Olga just gave us a back story to Zoya's past 10 years prior.
38:10
She's referring to Comrade Bresnib, who was lended Bresnib,
38:13
General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet
38:15
Union, who passed away in 1982, and then Shizoba, who retired in
38:20
1977 after placing second in the 1976 Olympics.
38:24
Somewhere between the 70s and 80s, Zoya was standing on
38:27
business and becoming a legendary wrestler in Soviet
38:30
Russia. Olga's use of what a country is
38:34
in the match to Russian comedian Yakov Smirnov, who began his
38:38
career as a stand up comedian in the Soviet Union, then
38:41
immigrated to the United States in 1977.
38:43
He reached his biggest success in the mid to late 1880s,
38:47
appearing in the film Moscow and the Hudson with Robin Williams.
38:51
And possibly next year in 1986, Olga will be saying the phrase
38:54
so much when what a country debuts on TV streams.
39:00
What a Country Next segment GTV logo appears which looked like
39:08
the 80s MTV logo. The music video starring Melrose
39:12
and the girl girls and the videos titled Makeover from the
39:15
Grand Slam Volume One album and it was directed by how Bash
39:18
Howard Productions is weird. The girls sing Makeover how they
39:24
want to attend nightclub but they can't because they're in
39:26
their wrestling gear. So they go back home to change
39:28
to something much more Madonna Ish.
39:32
I mean, yeah, you're not going to let be LED inside a nightclub
39:36
if you're still in. OK, shout out to the original
39:39
Globe wrestler, Melody Trouble Vixen MTV, who is played by
39:43
Eileen O'Hara, who they based Melrose off of, including the
39:47
whole GTV skit. OK, so I just described the
39:51
whole video, so why not tell you what MTV is doing now?
39:55
Eileen put out a podcast in 2020 titled Wrestling With Your Best
39:58
Friend, and here's what it was about.
40:01
An eclectic mix of special guest wrestlers, Reiki masters and
40:05
experts kindly share their experiences in their quest for
40:08
truth. Together, we explore what it
40:10
takes to create a world where we experience the kindness of
40:13
respect we all deserve, beginning with our best friend
40:15
ourselves. Are you up for the challenge?
40:20
Unfortunately, she only has seven episodes before it
40:22
disappeared, but here's her trailer.
40:27
I'm Eileen O'Hara. I'm a Reiki practitioner, a
40:31
light and energy worker, and a citizen of Earth.
40:35
I'm also. The Queen of Rock'n'roll.
40:42
A notorious bad guy from my life is anything but dull.
40:51
I've had a lot of adventures and like everyone else, I'm
40:56
struggling to get through these strange times.
41:00
So I'm challenging you to become your own best friend.
41:04
Like any relationship, it takes worse.
41:07
So let's step into the ring and have some fun.
41:10
This is wrestling with your best friend.
41:19
Next segment, we're back in Britannica Science lab.
41:23
She is just standing around, smiling.
41:25
Lisa, played by Justine, walks in with her schoolwork and
41:29
herself as a teenager who lives next door and was wondering if
41:33
Britt could help with her quadratic equations.
41:36
Britannica realizes why Lisa's having so much trouble.
41:40
There are no pictures in the book and it's full of math.
41:44
Lisa asks if she's feeling OK. Britannica says she's never been
41:48
better because she has a man now.
41:51
Thomas is in his robe and smoking a cigarette and
41:54
mothering. He didn't know they were
41:55
expecting company. Lisa assumes something is wrong
41:59
and asks what's on that on Britt's finger.
42:01
Britannica explains it's her engagement string she's waiting
42:05
for Thomas to propose. Lisa explains that people tie
42:10
strings around their finger when they want to remember to do
42:12
something. She asks Britannica what is it
42:14
that she's forgetting to do? Globe Bot appeared with floppy
42:18
disk but holding it the wrong way, which would erase the disk
42:21
if it whole scene was real. Don't hold the disk the wrong
42:26
way or else you're going to delete all the files.
42:28
Basically that's what I'm saying.
42:30
Lisa claims that Globe bot is trying to tell them something.
42:33
She grabbed the disk from Globe bot and was read at Britannica's
42:36
Brian. The audience laughed and then
42:41
cheers when Britannica realized that it's her brain that's on
42:45
the floppy disk, but she has to figure out how to get it back up
42:48
there. She immediately inserts it from
42:51
a her miniskirt. Oh, after a few seconds of
42:54
moaning and laughing and Thomas eyeing the situation, she
42:56
remembers A quadratic equation as she explains and hangs on to
43:00
Lisa. AX squared plus BX plus C = 0.
43:05
She says she's back and you are in play.
43:07
Loudly, Black magic appears again and says this was not the
43:11
deal. She was supposed to sacrifice
43:13
something precious. That is how black magic works
43:16
and that is why not everybody be doing it.
43:21
Thomas gets back, gets up from his chair and says ladies,
43:26
ladies, ladies, enough with the gapping.
43:29
Black magic turns Thomas back into a mannequin.
43:31
Britannica cries to turn him back into a man.
43:35
Black magic says if she wants him back, she is going to have
43:38
to fight for him. Optical flip again and we are in
43:42
the ring. Bash says it's Science versus
43:46
magic. Britannica fighting for the man
43:47
she loves. Black Magic fighting because
43:50
she's horrible and and mean. Keith, the referee, tells him
43:54
both he wants a good clean match.
43:56
No funny business, especially Black Magic who points out her
43:58
Baggies of sorcery. Black Magic says she is serious
44:03
and circles the ring with Brit. Black Magic takes off her
44:06
earrings and throws them outside.
44:07
Britannica walks over and arm drags her.
44:09
Bash says that the strong start for Britannica attacking with
44:11
her usual scientific position. Black Magic gets up and runs
44:15
after Brit, but she hits the clothesline, which Bash orders
44:17
for a replay of the basic looking clothesline Britannica
44:22
Britannica Britannica. Britannica smashes black magic
44:26
space into the turnbuckle. Bash says it's going well for
44:29
this British genius and it looks like she's getting a turnbuckle
44:31
sandwich times 2 Britannica must really love Thomas Bash winks at
44:36
the camera and continues. Britannica gives Thomas a
44:38
mannequin A smooch as Black Magic is scheming in the corner
44:42
of the ring. She ripped out the mannequin's
44:43
arm and used it as a club to hit Britannica.
44:46
Brad, bash this talk about using your friends against you.
44:50
Britannica taking a whooping. Keith, the ref tells Black Magic
44:54
she cannot use for an object. Black Magic blows some sort of
44:57
powder into Keith's face. Bash yells that she enchanted
45:01
the ref. He thinks he's a kitten.
45:05
Keith goes to the corner of the ring and meows and plays with
45:08
the turnbuckles. Black Magic blows.
45:10
More enchantment powder on Britannica seems to be used
45:12
under some kind of a sleep spell.
45:14
Bash says Black Magic is taking her time to teach the scientists
45:18
a lesson. She places bread between her
45:20
legs. She rolls her eyes back.
45:23
Yes, like the undertaker. She yells, lifts Britannica over
45:27
her back, and then slams her face first on the mat.
45:31
Bash says this can only bend and badly.
45:34
Britannica's down, but there's no way to give their count.
45:37
The rest still think he's a kitten.
45:39
This is heartbreaking. She really looked Thomas.
45:41
It just goes to show a good mannequin's heart to find a kin.
45:47
He needed to arrive that before the segment ends, Britannica is
45:50
seen outside the ring trying to gather all the broken pieces
45:53
together and putting his broken palm on her chin.
46:01
Movies and feelings Pop, Pop. Bring Your Own Popcorn is a
46:07
podcast that dives into people and the movies who love them.
46:10
Let us preach to your choir or stoke your ire as we spiral down
46:13
memory lane with cult classics, jurassics and other genres that
46:17
rhyme with traffic. What we lack in education we
46:19
make up for with comedy, compassion and camaraderie.
46:23
I'm Your host, Mixtape Majesty, inviting you to join me and an
46:25
assortment of wonderful guests on fine podcast apps everywhere.
46:30
Bring your own popcorn. Hey, it's Evo.
46:53
We're gonna get back to the episode you're listening to.
46:55
But first, let me tell you about Dark Freak creations.
46:59
Dark Freak creations are candles that are vibrant, colorful
47:03
marble tops, amazing mouth watering fragrances fueled by
47:07
lovely braided cotton wigs. Paper threads woven into every
47:12
cotton wig for a clean, romantic, slow and consistent
47:15
burn. Each candle is unique from the
47:18
next as they are hand mixed and hand poured right in Grass
47:22
Valley, CA. They use only coconut and soy
47:26
waxes for a safer cleaner and longer burn time.
47:30
That's almost 72 hours. That's like binging on all 130
47:33
episodes of the podcast. All fragrance blends have been
47:37
heavily researched. Dark recreations not only care
47:40
about the look, fragrance and quality of their candles and
47:42
their other products, but also the effects they have in their
47:46
customers homes. So go to darkrecreations.com.
47:50
The link will be in the show notes.
47:56
Are you looking for a new podcast?
47:58
Or maybe you just love celebrity interviews and can't get enough
48:01
of them? On the Tis Yourself podcast, the
48:04
Todd AKA Rob Mashio from Scrubs told me about his first time
48:08
speaking to a group of surgeons. And I was just like, Listen,
48:11
guys, when in doubt, the Todd's prescription for everything is
48:15
less moaning, more boning. Or you want to find out more
48:18
about how Joe Exotic had such a vendetta against Carol Baskin
48:21
when she had this to say about him?
48:23
Because I've never even spoken to Joe.
48:25
Find out all of this and more on the Tis Yourself Podcast
48:28
wherever you get your puppets. Next segments are commercials.
48:46
One of them is from Howard Foods.
48:48
A can of Howard O's is shown which is a parody of Spaghetti
48:53
OS. Bash is doing the Bosho over
48:56
work and he says Howard OS more O less know and now with new
49:01
Caliente flavor Olay Casino next commercial reminding us to watch
49:12
quilting be easy on KDTV on Thursdays at 4:30.
49:16
Remember, life may be hard, but quilting be easy.
49:23
Next commercial is Tammy sitting on her throne asking the
49:25
audience if you miss Welfare Queen beating up everyone in the
49:28
ring. Well, now you can take your very
49:31
own Welfare Queen doll home. Limited edition for only 999
49:36
optical flip and suddenly you see the dog moving by herself
49:39
and beating up a can of cola and yelling Hey there can hey there
49:45
can get out of my way. And then says I pity the fool.
49:50
Yeah, someone's going to have a lawsuit, Tammy says Call now the
49:56
Queen is waiting. Think that's the end of
50:01
commercials? But then the next segment is
50:04
Machu Picchu. Britannica junk chain and
50:06
railroads are sitting by the pool, enjoying their tan when
50:09
Machu says she don't like lying on their backs While Liberty
50:13
Bell is out there, Daughterless Melrose explains that you have
50:17
to turn over once every 15 minutes again, even tan, which
50:20
Britannica does and sits sideways.
50:23
Machu says that's not what she meant.
50:24
They have to do something, and she knows exactly how she can
50:27
help. Another music video.
50:31
This time it's everyone singing apart.
50:33
This song is about kidnapping, with the opening words like
50:37
yesterday, on the way home from school, a child disappeared.
50:42
Why stuff like this keeps happening.
50:44
I think it's really weird. Don't these kidnappers know that
50:48
kidnapping is wrong? They're making people sad.
50:52
Oh boy. They're all doing apsa song
50:55
about kidnapping and how wrong it is.
50:57
Even begging the kidnappers Just let the children run in place
51:01
and the ones they got to let them get away.
51:05
Sweet, sweet Christmas Phil, one of the cameraman from the past
51:11
season. The scene playing the guitar and
51:13
Sheila is on the organ, piano, whatever you want to call it yet
51:16
again. Debbie joins in the chorus while
51:20
grieving with her facial features, doing some sort of
51:22
cringe look. Junk Chain gets a solo and she
51:27
sings. Every time I get milk for my
51:29
cereal, there's a face on the carton looking at me.
51:34
It's hard to enjoy my cereal. Wondering if that child will
51:38
ever be free. Can't have cereal while poor
51:43
child is staring back at me? Oh my God.
51:46
Britannica hugs Junk Shane while she sings her part.
51:48
That's why the buddy system is so important if you don't want
51:52
to get napped. Oh goodness.
51:54
Mel Real chimes and warns the kids that when a strange man
51:58
offers you candy, it's probably a trash.
52:04
This while Liberty Bell is in the background, jumping up and
52:06
down. The chorus comes back again,
52:08
this time with the rest of the Glow girls, including Zoya,
52:11
who's on crotches standing right behind Liberty Bell.
52:15
It's apsa with both faces and heels.
52:18
One of the yellows on twins, probably Stacy sings in the her
52:22
unique voice. They don't have money to pay for
52:25
ransom. Do we see Sheila again with the
52:29
dark glasses, playing the piano and singing along?
52:33
The chorus gets louder. Sam and Bash enter the scene
52:35
with long Gray trench coats because they look like the
52:39
kidnappers and they join along with the chorus.
52:42
Sam looks over at Bash, who was wearing a fake creepy mustache
52:45
and dry raiding his hips. They finally quietly sing the
52:48
chords and some are holding their headphones while the girls
52:50
in the front are holding each other's hands.
52:52
Then we see the ad and the number to call to get your
52:55
limited edition song by sending $0.95 for a record or cassette
53:01

53:18
Can anybody guess why this was saying?
53:21
Can anybody guess why? I'll tell you why.
53:26
Soon after, the British group Band-Aid released Do They Know
53:30
It's Christmas? In December of 1984, the
53:33
musician activist Harry Belafonte decided to create an
53:36
American benefit single for Our American Famine Relief with the
53:40
fundraiser Ken Cragen. He enlisted several musicians.
53:45
Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie completed the writing the
53:47
night before the 1st recording session on January 21st, 1985.
53:52
The event brought together some of the era's best known
53:55
musicians. Also it happened immediately
54:02
after the American Music Awards. So some of these people, some of
54:05
these artists were musicians, were performing that night and
54:09
then they had to perform. Here also.
54:12
We Are the World was released on March 7th, 1985, the first
54:15
single from the album by Columbia Records.
54:16
It topped music charts throughout the world and became
54:20
the fastest selling US pop single in history.
54:22
We Are The World with Certified Quadruple Platinum, becoming the
54:25
first single to be certified multi platinum.
54:28
It's awards include 4 Grammy Awards, one American Music
54:31
Award, and a People's Choice Award.
54:35
There's a movie on Netflix right now called The Greatest Night
54:37
and Pop and it's a documentary of the making of We Are the
54:40
World. The whole thing with Stacy doing
54:43
some sort of yelling and not with the same vibe as the other
54:45
girls, that's not much or a parody depending on who you ask.
54:50
A Cyndi Lauper doing her own thing with her voice.
54:53
You can clearly see Michael Jackson and his dark sunglasses
54:56
just the same way Sheila was wearing them.
55:00
Next segment, Sheila holding a playable copy of Cats on
55:05
Broadway. She said she was expecting a lot
55:08
more and there wasn't a single real cat in the show.
55:11
They're just people in costumes, obviously Sheila.
55:14
Obviously the audience laugh and the camera pens over to see who
55:18
she's talking to. It's the coat, It's the goat.
55:22
It's the goat. It's the goat Olga came with
55:24
from Potato Grab, she tells The goat.
55:27
You're right, it might have been tough to get real cats, but it's
55:30
still fake advertising, False advertising, fake advertising,
55:34
whether it's the same thing. Sheila gets the goat's nose ring
55:36
because the goat asked for it. Sheila can speak goat.
55:42
A few seconds later the scene changes clockwise and Sheila's
55:45
taking the goat to her tell room, laughing along and saying
55:48
he is Mr. Misstopolis, not her. She's more of a rum, rum, rum
55:56
tugger. These are characters from cats.
56:00
She plays the rope down and tells the goat to make himself
56:03
comfortable, and she doesn't do this very often.
56:06
She asks the goat if he likes sports.
56:09
The audience laugh and the ghost fake hoop starts touching
56:11
Sheila. She says.
56:14
Oh, hello. Well, that's very forward.
56:16
She pushes this hoof away and tells him.
56:19
You know, this is moving a little fast for me, but maybe we
56:23
should just call it a night. Fake hoof touches Sheila's boob
56:26
and the audience gasps and she yells, Sir, I asked you to
56:30
leave. Another fake hoof touches the
56:33
other boob and Sheila's yells. Sir, unhoof me.
56:38
She gets up from the bed and tells the goat she is his
56:40
natural predator. Do not make her do something
56:42
they both will regret, to which she wags her finger at him.
56:47
The fake hoof tries to touch her finger and she says this is your
56:50
final warning. Do not touch me.
56:52
The goat doesn't listen and the scene changes clockwise again to
56:55
review Sheila laying in bed eating the goats leg.
56:59
The audience laugh and the camera zooms in on Sheila saying
57:04
I warned him. She mentioned the Sheila
57:09
mentioned the two characters from Cast.
57:10
Mr. Mostopolis, who is a character in TS Elias, 1939
57:13
poetry book, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cast, and in his
57:16
1981 Misqui adaptation, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cat, described by
57:21
Elliot as being the original Conjuring cat who is always
57:23
deceiving you to believe he's only hunting for mice.
57:29
Rum Tom Tucker is a rebellious and unpeasable cat.
57:32
He loves the limelight while at the same time enjoys being as an
57:36
individual by separating himself a little from the tribe.
57:40
And that's what she is, that's what she She separates herself
57:43
from the girls to become her own person.
57:48
Next segment, Liberty Bells walking around the forest with a
57:50
machete, chopping down bushes or trees or whatever is in front of
57:54
her. She hears the voice of little
57:56
girls saying, Mommy, mommy, help me, oh boy.
58:04
Horror movie enthusiasts will recognize that voice recording
58:07
of the slain child actress Heather Rourke from the 1982
58:11
film Poltergeist. You know they're here, And the
58:18
little girl yells that she's in the evil fortress Livery Belle
58:21
yells Savannah Rose, Mummy's mommy's coming.
58:24
Mummy, I'm doing auk accident. No, I'm not.
58:27
Mommy's coming. The scene changes to the
58:31
entrance of the evil fortress, both Beirut and Fortune Cookie
58:33
guarding the entrance with Spears.
58:35
Beirut says the view from this evil fortress is just
58:38
spectacular. Fortune Cookie madly yells.
58:41
We are not here for the view. We are here to guard American
58:44
Girl Child. That is our only job.
58:49
I have to go to the restroom. Fortune Cookie walks away
58:52
because you know you have to go to the restroom while guarding
58:57
precious American Girl child. She walks away, leaving Beirut
59:01
to guard the answers by herself. But she yawns and says the air
59:03
stand out here in the mountains. They're up in the mountains.
59:06
She closes her eyes and we are in a dream sequence.
59:08
As her inner thoughts say, I didn't always want to be a
59:10
terrorist. Once I wanted to be a dancer.
59:16
Ballroom music begins to play and argues, wearing a long white
59:19
dress. As she dances around.
59:20
Yolanda appears in the tuxedo, takes her hand, dances along
59:24
with her. They smile at each other.
59:27
After a few minutes, Fortune Cookie's voice kicks in and
59:29
wakes her up. Beirut says.
59:31
She blinked. It was just one long blink.
59:33
Fortune Cookie looks on the ground.
59:35
It's a colorful confetti, because how old would how else
59:38
would you know your evil fortress got intruder?
59:40
Then by having red, white, and blue confetti near the entrance,
59:44
Liberty Bell dramatically clutches the walls, the voice
59:47
recording still saying, Mommy, help, Hope didn't get through.
59:53
You know what? Why Heather O'Rourke?
59:57
I would like to apologize to the family of Heather O'Rourke of,
1:00:05
you know, using that voice. My goodness, Liberty Bell says
1:00:09
Mommy's coming in. Then we see a close up on Vicki,
1:00:11
a Viking. She's back in the middle of the
1:00:15
glow ring, holding a voicemail recorder.
1:00:20
Still playing it. Mommy Help 0.
1:00:25
OK, Vicki asked Liberty Bell. She's looking for that, and the
1:00:28
voice comes from the recorder, the entire set.
1:00:30
The lights turn on and focus on Liberty Bell, who's standing on
1:00:33
the balcony near Sam's office and yells at Vicki to tell her
1:00:36
where daughter is. Vicki says don't worry, she's in
1:00:40
a safe, in an actual safe with air holes, and I'll give you the
1:00:43
combination to the lock. If you repeat me in the ring,
1:00:46
the lights turn on, revealing the actual ring, and she laughs
1:00:48
maniacally. Optical flip and we're in a
1:00:52
match with fans and Bash announcing that Vicky's blowing
1:00:55
the Horn of War. That means his match will be the
1:00:57
death. And here comes Liberty Bell.
1:00:58
Wasting no time, Liberty Bell punches Vicky in the stomach and
1:01:03
she doesn't feel saying Liberty asked why isn't it working?
1:01:07
Vicky pushes Liberty's face and knocks her down.
1:01:10
Keith, the ref, checks in on both wrestlers.
1:01:13
Bash says Vicky set the course for destruction.
1:01:16
Vicky picks up Liberty over her shoulder and slams her down
1:01:18
again. Vicky whips Liberty to the rope
1:01:21
and Liberty goes back. Vicky tries to hit the
1:01:23
clothesline, but Liberty ducks and grabs Vicky and a crucifix
1:01:27
badge says it seems the tables have turned.
1:01:29
Vicky backs up to the corner turnbuckle and yells at the
1:01:31
crowd that she's going to Viking badge.
1:01:33
Her Bronco Buster maybe? You know ex yeah.
1:01:43
Anyway, but Liberty puts her leg up to kick Vicki in the stomach
1:01:46
to move the to stop the move from happening, which has sends
1:01:50
her back and hits the referee which then knocks him out of the
1:01:53
ring. We all know where this is going.
1:01:55
Fortune cooking bare. Ruth both slides the ring and
1:01:57
help Big Evic beat that Larry Bell, who pulls a large picture
1:02:01
out of her daughter, of her daughter from her costume and
1:02:04
shows us her camera saying it's her baby and that this is the
1:02:06
only picture she has of her. Vicki takes the picture from
1:02:11
Liberty and tears it up in front of her face while both Fortune
1:02:13
Cookie and Beirut are holding her down.
1:02:17
Liberty Bell gets out of the grass of Beirut of Fortune,
1:02:20
bumping them together. The power of a mother's love
1:02:23
strength as she goes after Vicki, Bash says the bad girl's
1:02:26
Toppo like a House of Cards. Liberty chokes Vicki's neck on
1:02:29
the ring ropes and ask for combination to the safe.
1:02:31
Vicki tells us in six number combination 111112, Keith calls
1:02:36
for the match and the winner being Liberty by just getting
1:02:38
the combination number. That's weird.
1:02:41
Liberty Bell looks at the camera and tells Savannah Rose to hold
1:02:44
on. She's coming for her because
1:02:46
there's ATV screen on in the safe and Savannah Rose is
1:02:51
watching. She gets out of the ring and
1:02:54
then we see her in the locker room opening a locker with the
1:02:57
word SAFE attached to it. She opens the safe and Savannah
1:02:59
Rose little body comes out hugging Liberty Bell, saying she
1:03:02
misses her mommy. Liberty Bell says I miss you
1:03:05
too, baby girl. That promise I'll never let
1:03:07
anyone lock you in a safe ever again.
1:03:10
Hope not, Hope not. There have been too many
1:03:15
ridiculous matches throughout the years, but this seems more
1:03:19
of this has happened before and in wrestling itself.
1:03:24
So there have been nice sticks on a pole match, a manager
1:03:26
hanging on a cage above the ring while two wrestlers fight each
1:03:29
other, and let's not forget Judy Bagwell in a Forklift match.
1:03:35
It was a dying days of those. W Buff Bag was supposed to win
1:03:37
his match against Chris Canyon if he wants to secure the safety
1:03:41
as his mother. But the most ridiculous one of
1:03:44
all which I've seen it reminded me of this match was none other
1:03:48
than on August 21, 2005 at Summer Slam.
1:03:53
Rey Mysterio battled legendary wrestler Eddie Guerrero in the
1:03:56
latter match to win custody of Dominic Mysterio.
1:04:02
Yes, for the non wrestling fans think look look at it this way
1:04:09
of kids future was hanging in the balance.
1:04:12
Who was he going to go home with that night?
1:04:14
His loving dad or his father's former best friend and former
1:04:17
taxi partner? A man who he would call uncle, A
1:04:21
man who he would admire. His father won that night in
1:04:26
2005, though 18 years later however, they would revive that
1:04:30
storyline back where now an adult Dominic wishes his would
1:04:35
be Uncle Eddie. Guerrero have won that match so
1:04:38
you wouldn't have to call Ray his dad because to him he was a
1:04:41
deadbeat who was never there for him after that night.
1:04:45
Oh soap opera man. Soap opera, Yes, Liberty Bell
1:04:51
doing the same thing. Yes, if Zoya was OK, Yes,
1:05:02
Liberty Bell doing the same thing.
1:05:04
Yes, if Zoya was OK to wrestle, how long would this speed have
1:05:08
lasted? Maybe a few more matches.
1:05:11
Like Ruth said, Let her chase and final segment.
1:05:17
Olga's on the operating table, she says.
1:05:20
All the things I will will do with Newfoot once deformity is
1:05:23
no longer dance. Have pedicures, find able bodies
1:05:26
of her paging master Mickey Rourke.
1:05:32
Mickey Rourke Back in the 80s, hot as hell, she laughed as well
1:05:35
as the audience laughed. Meanwhile, we don't see the
1:05:38
doctor's face, but we see the nurse who is being played by
1:05:41
Justine. Olga continues.
1:05:43
This operation is simple. This thing I have always wanted
1:05:47
is freedom. Like finally going to Moscow.
1:05:48
Except it's actually happening. And also, I've tried been I've
1:05:53
already been to Moscow, the doctor turns around, saying.
1:05:56
And also we only only two sisters.
1:05:58
Not three sisters, not like the little story says, but two
1:06:05
sisters. She takes off her surgical mask,
1:06:07
revealing to be Zoya Olga's surprise as Zoya pushes her back
1:06:11
on the table, saying thus be danya or goodbye in Russian.
1:06:15
But both Justine and Zoya are zoomed in from Olga's point of
1:06:19
view. The camera pans back, revealing
1:06:22
ATV. Someone's watching the show and
1:06:25
the man says see Rosalie, I told you it's Justine.
1:06:30
I mean she's stressed as a nurse, but it's definitely her,
1:06:34
the show says. To be continued the fact the
1:06:37
camera focuses on the two people on the couch.
1:06:40
Rosalie leans in and curses the words on the TV screen.
1:06:43
Changes to directed by Sam Sylvia, which Rosalie is shocked
1:06:47
to read that name and the episode and there.
1:06:53
So we got to go back to the end of last season.
1:06:55
Justine revealing to Sam that she's his daughter because he
1:06:57
was in Sacramento at a Black Panther rally and got kicked
1:07:00
out, went to a bar and went home with it.
1:07:02
Rosalie Biaggi At the start of the season when Justine is
1:07:06
living with Sam, she tells him she can't go back home because
1:07:09
she don't want to live with Rosalie anymore.
1:07:11
Now here we have Rosalie played by veteran actress Annabella
1:07:14
Siara who played detective Carolyn Barrack for 12 episodes
1:07:17
of Law and Order. Criminal Intent Ezeline is
1:07:21
titled Rosalie, so there will be some type of back story about
1:07:24
her maybe. I haven't seen this show in a
1:07:26
while, so I'm guessing here. For those wondering, this is how
1:07:30
the original GLOW operated. Yes, it was just cheesy and
1:07:33
ridiculous and cringe. The Kidnapper song reminded me
1:07:37
of an episode where they were trying to find Little Egypt and

they did a whole song for her, even the girl who was feuding
1:07:44
with her. And in the Blinking you'll miss
1:07:47
It part various Little Egypt singing as well in the
1:07:50
background with them. But then you don't see her again
1:07:53
after that. It was just like a little tiny
1:07:55
thing they did. They messed up.
1:07:57
Either they messed up or they did on purpose.
1:08:00
However, on this show you can understand the words coming from
1:08:03
the girls on the song. On the original show it sounded
1:08:06
like cats were fighting with each other and some of the girls
1:08:08
were out of sync during the rap. This episode was exactly like
1:08:13
the original show, complete with the wrestlers doing commercials,
1:08:16
Psas and singing along Ruth does.
1:08:19
Both Olga and Zoya may have saved the show since her ankle
1:08:21
was broken due to Debbie being on coke.
1:08:24
They probably asked Ruth to write the story, to which she
1:08:26
said this whole thing. How about a good twin with a
1:08:28
messed up foot? Come to America helps Liberty
1:08:30
Bell rescue her daughter, and then we can bring back Vicki,
1:08:32
even though Sam fired her and promised her the main event on
1:08:34
possibly the last show. Your call.
1:08:40
All right, that's going to do it for me.
