This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

It's hard to keep a good format down. A decade after the Robin Ward-helmed version of To Tell the Truth (see episode 139 for more), the show returned with a mix of old and new panelists, the tried-and-true format, but also a total of five hosts, including the pilots. A formidable reboot lasted 3/4 of a year in a time when game shows as a whole were a dying breed.

This coming Monday, Mike is celebrating his birthday (the big 5-0) and he chose this as his Money in the Bank pick, a cult classic about a police inspector with a hair trigger temper, as well as a hair trigger on his very large Magnum gun. It was good enough to squeak by for two seasons. As for this selection, trust Mike. He knows what he's doing.…

We first talked about this series 472 episodes ago. (Do the math.) We felt it was worth a revisit since it can now be seen every Saturday night on Catchy Comedy. In short, this show is the beta version of Robin Hood: Men in Tights , also from the brilliant mind of Mel Brooks. It couldn't be too bad since it has rerun on A&E, TV Land, Decades, and now Catchy Comedy. Thus, When Things Were Rotten is hardly a thing that is rotten.…

In a podcast first, we found a premise so flimsy that it almost broke the three of us...and this was deemed as okay to air during the family hour (and later on TGIF) on ABC?! This was a vehicle for the Smolletts, six kids in all, including that one. The less said about this train wreck, the better.

As a belated tribute to Robert Wagner's 85th birthday, this installment covers a show which ran for a short period of time on ABC, and later shown in full on Lifetime. Beyond the regular struggles involving viewership, Lime Street also suffered a tragedy involving one of the cast members before debuting, unrelated to the show itself.…

As we have said time and time again, a good format for a TV show never really dies, it goes away for a time and returns with a new twist. In this case, the timeless Neil Simon play The Odd Couple went from the Broadway stage to the big screen, then to the small screen with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman. Less than a decade later, it returned in this form, with Ron Glass and Demond Wilson playing the lead roles.…

Jump ahead to the 1990s and video games left the arcade, going to living rooms everywhere. One popular franchise, still popular to this day, was and is Mega Man , which had an animated show from the masters of adapting video games to television, Ruby-Spears, the minds behind cartoons like Pac-Man , Saturday Supercade , and Dragon's Lair .…
