We close out our "holiday Harts" capsule with the crown jewel of Christmas episodes, "Tis the Season to Be Murdered" starring a small wooden(?) fighter pilot who was READY for his close-up.It Was Murder Podcast

Wouldn't a season or two (or ten) of Harts Investigations, where Jennifer and a retired Jonathan Hart run an LA detective agency, Max and Freeway always around the office, finally putting their talents to use for people who aren't there friends? Ahh well, one can dream. Oh, and we watched this shitty episode of Moonlighting.…

It's spooky season (our favorite) so why not do another edition of Chain Reaction: Spooky Edition!!!

We also talk for exactly 5 minutes about A Haunting in Venice…

Our final final episode of Hart Girl Summer honors the wonderful Shelley Smith as Marina Belson in "Downhill to Death".

We're back home for HART GIRL SUMMER!!! First up is a revisit of "Hit Jennifer Hart", the official first episode of the series, to discuss the ultimate "Hart Girl" Jennifer Hart!

We followed Craig Sheffer to Midian in 1990's Nightbreed (The Director's Cut) by horror/fantasy master Clive Barker. Though the consensus is that the theatrical version is "better", there truly is no winning if you're not a 13 year old gay in 1990. Special appearance by Corey J Brewer who endured the 3.5 hour "Cabal Cut" and is somehow still speaki…
