Center of Weirdness - October 23, 2023 07:05 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 24 ratingsThis week on the show, we finally get around to covering the super sexy/supremely silly Silk Stalkings. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Harry" is a baffling Halloween episode that barely matters because it's all a dream, but gets even dumber with the more you think about it. Why exactly is this boss dr...

Center of Weirdness - April 10, 2023 07:05 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 24 ratingsTo tie into the recent Super Mario movie release, we decided to cover the early 90s Super Mario World cartoon.

Center of Weirdness - August 01, 2022 07:05 - 55 minutes ★★★★★ - 24 ratingsWe're still enjoying the sunshine in our unofficial Summer Series by discussing the first episode (maybe?) of 90s teen show California Dreams!
