AVSEPod Episode 142: Alf - "Alf's Special Christmas"


Happy New year! We are concluding our holiday coverage this year by watching the infamous Alf Christmas special, in which  Alf learns the true meaning of Christmas (?) from a dying girl, then pulls a Zack & Tori with Mrs. Belding and helps deliver a baby in an elevator, and rounds out his holiday by stopping someone from committing suicide. Join David, Carolyn and Austin as they muse on Willy Tanner's age, rage at Alf pulling a Michelle, and lambast parents for abandoning their sick kids at the hospital on Christmas Eve.

AVSEPod Episode 136: Rainbow Brite - "Mom"


We are back after an unofficial hiatus while the AVSE family got a little bigger (and cuter)! This week, we are continuing our (also unofficial) DiC marathon by reviewing season 1 episode 7 of Rainbow Brite, "Mom", in which Murky Dismal's mother comes to visit and reawakens some childhood trauma that explains his otherwise odd crusade against color! Join Carolyn, David, and Austin as they talk flying Winnebagos, inexplicable mustaches, and try to make sense of the rainbow economy.
