podcasts – Jumping The Shuttle

212: “Rachel’s First Date”

Several cans of coconut milk. Lights in a field from the movie The Prestige. Italian brainrot AI slop. The stars of the 80s show Partners In Crime.

What nightmare are we hoping to wake up from? Who left Lynda Carter? And how can you tell if coconut milk has gone bad? We RSVP “yes” to these questions and more as we watch Season 1, Episode 4 of Family Matters.

139: “Number One With a Bullet”

Dr. Giggles. A checkered racing flag. Kenny Blankenship from MXC. Give us your bones.

Why is that doctor giggling? What show had all its cast guest star on this show? And can you keep your own bones? We cross the finish line on these questions and more as we cover Season 4, Episode 5 of Family Matters.

58: “South of the Border”

A censored figure. A blurred group of people. A pixelated head. A censored but clothed woman.

Do we speak any Spanish? Did we watch this week’s episode? How many times did we hit the Horn Dog Alert button this week? Find out as we go allll the way down with Season 7, Episode 13 of Family Matters.

48: “A Ham Is Born”

Twister - the attraction. David Hasselhoff shirtless. A pinwheel. And a Where's Waldo page.

What do Richie, a cow, and Dorothy Gale have in common? Is Nicole Moses someone famous? And do you have to be a cop to play one in the movies?

22: “Out With The Old”

The popcorn scene from Troll 2. Jaleel White hocking chips. Dr. Steve Brule. I'm the Captain now.

Who shows up that we didn’t expect? Who doesn’t show up but definitely freaking should? How does this episode set up (almost) everything wrong with Season 9? We hide on top of a chair from the answers to these questions and more while covering Season 9, Episode 1 of Family Matters.

16: “Stevil II: This Time He’s Not Alone”

Hallmark Greetings Workshop software. The young version of the live-action Grinch. The spinning top from Inception. The regular version of the live-action Howard The Duck.

What. Why. How is it MOVING JESUS CHRIST. These exclamations and more as we share our dreams about Family Matters Season 9, Episode 7. (Just in time for the holiday season!)

13: “Original Gangsta Dawg”

Snoop Dogg. Mix CDs. Captain Murphy from Sealab 2021. The band POD.

Can you make phone calls underwater? Who’s the hottest rapper ever to play the Sizzle Club? AND HOW MANY URKELS ARE THERE???

12: “Deck The Malls”

A Super Soaker, CD art for MechWarrior 2, floppy disks, and Return Of The Jedi Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book. All this will make sense when you listen to this week's episode.

Who is that old lady? Who is this kid? And what does this episode have in common with Shaft?

11. 205: “Grill Of My Dreams”

The cover art for Billy Ray Cyrus's single "Achy Breaky Heart." Neil Breen at an old laptop. A stack of DVD-RWs. And the sailor G.I. Joe from the fake PSAs. All this will make sense when you listen to our podcast about Episode 205 of Family Matters.

How long do you have to train to become a Master Chef? Why is a wife the worst thing a husband can have? And what’s it been – 13 years? 14?

10. 206: “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”

Which character’s absence is more ominous than usual? What’s the difference between a waiter and a firefighter? Who is the best non-divorce divorce lawyer (other than Jafar)?
