Episode 63 - The Steves, the Daves and TT Flowers

Two parter!

This is a fairly political one.  That said, it's a bit, and by a bit, I mean a lot, one the nose

I am not sure this had to be a two parter.

I liked Rocky in this one.  Steve too.  I mean I liked Rocky, I also like Steve...

Some good guest stars as well.

'You're Rocky's Boy!'

THEY'RE SELLING FREEDOM!

Just generally, lots more animal behaviour and cognition in this episode than you'd expect.

He's got chronic brain syndrome!

What's the deal with TT?  He doesn't pay his taxes, for example.  I'm not entirely sure I like TT.  That said, I think that is what the writers were going for.

TO BE CONTINUED.

Episode 62 - Dave and Steve Won't Break Your Bones

Took me a bit of time to get the title here.

Oh man what a group of guest stars!

General Moore?  

Sherriff Bart?

Quite a few characters are introduced here, indeed the character of 'Odette' plays a big role in the season 4 finale (along with Vern St. Cloud).  These recurring characters really give you a sense that Jimbo lives in a real place.

I'm not sure if 'Yves St. Lawrence' or 'Sir Guinevere' is better.

There's some really great subtext in this episode about the beginning of Reaganism. 

Oakland is a lot of fun here.  He is so different than his general Moore character on that other show we do a podcast about.

Big corporations crushing the little guy is an increasing theme on the show.

Episode 61 - There's a Dave and a Steve in Every Port

The obvious funny title here is 'There's a Dave in Every Steve' but I made an editorial decision.

Scamming the scammers is always fun.

JOAN VAN ARK again!

STEVE LANDESBERG!

JACK RILEY!

(Admiral Nimitz from Black Sheep).

The whole dual registry thing is a thing.  At least it was a thing.

It all hinges on Angel.  And it works!

Jimmy, Jimmy, is that you Jimmy?

It's like a room full of 70s tv people or something.

The somewhat subtle dig at the US medical system is nice.

The poker game being hit is totally a Sopranos scene twenty five years later.

Angel's accent is the best.  It's the worst, but it's somehow believable.
