AVSEPod Episode 88: Family Matters - "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Urkel"

Merry Christmas! We're back with another installment of A Very Special Family Matters Christmas, in which the Aluminum Four tackle season four's "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Urkel", a (very loose) pastiche of It's a Wonderful Life in which Milo from Good Morning Bliss gets his wings by negging Laura into being nice to Urkel in what is mostly an excuse to get Kellie Shanygne Williams to dress & act like Urkel. Not surprisingly, we have...thoughts about all this.

AVSEPod Episode 87: Family Matters - "Have Yourself a Very Winslow Christmas"

Ho ho ho! This week, we begin our annual Christmas celebration, bringing you four holiday-themed episodes over four weeks. And, because Ryan has been a very good boy this year (and/or paid off all the right people), this year's Christmas extravaganza will be an All Family Matters Christmas! That's right, we'll be stuffing your stockings with four different Family Matters Christmases over the next four weeks, which means four times the Urkel, four times the cheese, and four times the inappropriate crossing of personal boundaries (haha just kidding it happens way more than four times)!

So gather round for a family singalong as Ryan, Carolyn, Austin and David kick things off with season two's "Have Yourself a Very Winslow Christmas", featuring both the first time Laura is sad about a heretofore unmentioned heirloom and the first time the entire family is remarkably blase about receiving verifiable proof that Santa exists, then download and listen here, rate & review us on iTunes or listen via Podbean, Stitcher, Google Play and Spotify!

Yo Joe! In this week's episode, Ryan, Carolyn, and Austin enlist to discuss one of the seminal "Very Special" pieces of 80s programming, the G.I.
