AVSEPod Episode 135: Captain Planet - "A Formula For Hate"

Who's ready to bring pollution down to zero?!? By their powers combined, Austin, Carolyn, and David are back and reviewing a Very Special episode of a 90s animated TV touchstone, in which a rat creature puts on a trench coat, hangs out at a high school, and makes everyone hate a kid with HIV for...reasons! Along the way, the AVSE-teers discuss the Kinkos Code, ponder the environmental merits of track-and-field, and ask the question on everyone's mind: does Captain Planet fuck?

AVSEPod Episode 133: A Charlie Brown Christmas

Can't anyone tell us what Christmas is all about?!? Join David, Carolyn, and Austin as they tackle the question by discussing the commercialization of Christmas-skewing seminal animated holiday classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas (brought to you by the good folks at Coca-Cola)!

AVSEPod Episode 132: Beverly Hills, 90210 - "It's a Totally Happening Life"

Happy Holidays from the 90s! This week, we return to our (well, Austin's) favorite zip code for a Very Special Christmas episode featuring those smoldering "teens" of Beverly Hills, 90210, in which a pair of angels (yes, really) enact a It's a Wonderful Life pastiche that is less about aping the movie and more about pointing out that the movie just, you know, exists. Join Austin, Carolyn, and David as they discuss poofy hair, what it means to "trim" the tree, and question just how much 90210 is too much 90210. God may or may not intervene.

AVSEPod Episode 131: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Ho ho ho! We kickoff our Christmas coverage this week with a look at the Rankin-Bass stop-motion classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the special which taught us all the true meaning of Christmas: that differences are meant to be mocked unless/until they become exploitable by the state! Join Carolyn, David and Austin as they debate Thin Santa vs. Fat Santa, discuss David's fear of stop-motion puppetry, and above all, marvel at the extreme dickishness of Santa's reindeer.

AVSEPod Episode 130: Murder, She Wrote - "Indian Giver"

It's an Angela Lansbury memorial and Thanksgiving-adjacent episode as David, Carolyn, and Austin visit the murder capital of the world in Murder, She Wrote season 4, episode 10 "Indian Giver" (don't blame them, they didn't title it)! When a mysterious stranger in stereotypical American Indian garb hurls a spear at the Founder Days celebration and claims to own the town of Cabot Cove, racial invectives are hurled with abandon, leaving it to town busybody and everyone's favorite mystery-writing cool old lady Jessica Fletcher to get to the bottom of things per usual.
