The siblings talk about a siblings-based classic, the 1994 Nickelodeon sitcom My Brother & Me! This show follows the misadventures of young brothers Alfie and Deedee, and their friend Goo. We see the kids act in their school's production of Robin Hood, and when Goo is hit in the face with a basketball, his personality changes to become Sensitive Goo.
We discuss how the show feels naturalistic and lived-in but also filled with wacky sitcom logic, the use of costumes in foreshadowing, a very cool comic book store, and memories of Blockbuster.
Here's an article on the actual origins of the phrase "Curses! Foiled again!"
