183 - Perversions of Science
Added 2023-09-19 03:30:41 +0000 UTCTim and Jen head back to the pre-prestige-TV cable well with a failed spinoff of Tales From the Crypt called Perversions of Science. Throughout, you can really tell that your hosts would rather be watching a certain Canadian/German co-production.
Jen was slightly off when she said that HBO has existed since “the mid-to-late 70s”—it launched in 1972.
Mic mentions the Dan Quayle/Murphy Brown kerfuffle in this article about depictions of abortion on American television. And then there’s Maude!
In 1992, Vanity Fair covered the speculation around the circumstances of the death of Hitler’s niece. (Jen thinks he did it.)
If you love Skinemax Farscape as much as we do, listen to our Lexx episode!

I know my taste can be suspect, but I've got to draw the line somewhere :).
