S03E06 The Andy Griffith Show

 

This week on the In Syndication podcast we talk about The Andy Griffith Show. We talk about (perceived lack of) politics of the show, the strengths of it's lead (as well as Don Knotts), and everything else around it. Everything's coming up Mayberry!

S03E05 The A-Team

 

This month the In Syndication podcast covers the show about Vietnam veterans framed for a crime they didn't commit together to do what anyone would...flip some cars, fire some guns at nothing in particular, and get paid large cash while doing it. That's right we're talking about The A-Team. If you haven't had enough Mr. T in your life since the 80's, hold on cause we're serving you an extra helping.

Check out A Cosmic Void!

 

Subscribe now to the new podcast, A Cosmic Void starring Alex Biggs Small and Jeremiah Perez! Here's a taste of one episode, there's more on the feed and many more to come. This episode is about the Alex Garland instant classic: Ex Machina. We dissect the movie going scene by scene uncovering the themes that run beneath. We discuss the feminist reading of this movie, the allusions to literature and history, and discuss the slightly ahead of it's time presentation of the danger of data mining. And of course we list movies that informed it, as well as movies influenced by it. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

S03E04 Batman

 

According to Adam West, the sixties was about the three B's: The Beatles, Batman, and Bond. We actually talk about all three in this episode of In Syndication, but we completely focus on the show captured a nation, a Joker, two Riddlers, and three Cat Women (if you count the movie). We're breaking down Batman!

S03E03 Columbo

This month the In Syndication podcast dives into Peter Falk's iconic turn as the disheveled detective who everyone underestimates...Columbo! We talk about why it was TV movies instead of a show proper, the other men who played Columbo, and the debt the crime procedural owes to it.

S03E02 Fantasy Island

 

This month the In Syndication podcast asks if you had a wish, would let it be horribly corrupted by a charismatic car dealer? We go through the ins and outs of the TV show: Fantasy Island.

S03E01 Tales from the Crypt

 

We return for our third season of the In Syndication podcast with a Halloween appropriate entry. Tales from the Crypt was HBO's first premier show that ran for seven seasons. It was an anthology show that had a refreshing celebrity cast that has never been matched. Find how five of the biggest producers in Hollywood turned a comic book from the fifties into a giant franchise of multiple shows and movies.

S02E06 Car 54 Where Are You?

For the season finale of In Syndication we cover Car 54 Where Are You? Toody and Muldoon may have always found hilarity, but they never collared the crooks. Find about the groundbreaking sitcom on the In Syndication podcast in your favorite app.

S02E05 G.I. Joe

This month on In Syndication we talk about an action figure that was definitely not a doll. It spawned a comic book to create a mythos for it's television show. And that show helped sell the best selling action figure (not doll) of the eighties: G.I. Joe!

S02E04 Deadwood

This month we talk about the show that reinvigorated the western, made stars of Timothy Olyphant and Ian McShane (in the States, anyway), and was weirdly written in iambic pentameter: Deadwood!

S02E03 Mannix

He took a licking and kept on ticking. No sucker punch, bullet to the temple, or computer could stop him. Blindness and concussions were temporary setbacks. We examine the show that reinvigorated the detective genre: Mannix.

S02E02 Monty Python's Flying Circus

John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam started Monty Python's Flying Circus and not only set the template for comedy shows to come, but created their own brand of comedy in the process.

S02E01 I Love Lucy

We open season two with the most groundbreaking show in all of history: I Love Lucy! Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz took charge of their show and broke nearly every existing convention creating a sitcom that works almost seven decades later.
