    24/02/2022 Duration: 01h19min

    This month on the show we're joined by Angelica Jade Bastién (Vulture, HBO Max's Station Eleven podcast) to talk about a crazy episode of T.J. Hooker. Dennis Franz plays a pornographer and folks, he nails it. Heather Thomas does not nail her turn as Sandy the criminal partner of Hooker but at least porn ring enforcer Moloch thrills us with his shotgun antics. Join us as we navigate these bumpy roads of 1980's television.

    27/01/2022 Duration: 01h15min

    On this episode we triumphantly return to the squad pod car and hit the reds. Cats come out of the bag. Secrets are revealed. Romano gets set on fire. Hooker gets laid. This is a big episode full of spills and thrills. Policenauts and police nuts get stimulated. “Bonnie and Clyde” hit a few banks, steal a car, and we all debate “hot pursuits” - should cops actually chase people? This commentator says no. 

  • S04E02 - The Two Faces of Betsy Morgan

    28/10/2021 Duration: 01h29min

    Reflections on William Shatner riding the Blue Origin to the space and back, what he up to now? Then we have an episode wherein there's a “strangler” on the loose we never see “strangle.” Anyway, adult subject matter abound unfortunately with people who are not adults. Also, what kind of Wizard name should T.J. have? Teej Hooklin? You know, like Merlin? No, that's no good! Meanwhile Officer Jim Corrigan is being seduced off the force by his girlfriend, Lady Professor. Will he stay or will he go? This is a sleepy late night recorded episode, so put your slippers on and sink into a leather chair.
