It's summer which for TV means re-runs! So this summer we'll be reissuing podcasts from the first version of the podcast with your hosts Zach and Nas fresh from the distant past of 2021!

Take a trip to the 25th century and join the space adventure! For this classic 1970s television series, Zach and Nas discuss the impact of disco music on future generations and their galactic dance parties. This show has it all: time travel, sexy space princesses, apocalyptic Chicago, and a silver robot named Twiki. We also talk about one of our favorite media tropes: the impact of the Cold War on TV shows and the idea of the “nuclear holocaust.”We’re contractually obligated not to compare this show to Star Wars, Star Trek, or any other “Star” series, so we’ll just call it a “powerful, hero-driven space chronicle!”

Thunder…..thunder…..Thundercats!!! Whoops, wrong 80s cartoon. Zach and Nas put on their robes and wizards hats, and watch the first two episodes of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. Do you love dragons, knights, talking mushrooms, and Peter Gabriel-era Genesis? This cartoon is for you. Amusement parks, Lord of the Rings, monsters, and fantasy plotlines abound! Sponsored by the One Ring to Rule Them All. Just kidding - it’s sponsored by your local Dungeon Master!

Is there anything as characteristic of 1990s sensibilities as the prime time family sitcom? The writing of Dave Barry gets television treatment, starring Harry Anderson as the title character. Zach and Nas discuss the multiple plot lines taking place in the Dave’s World episodes we watched, including 1994s era movies, eating alone, annoying yuppies, disappearing lizards, and more! Mediocre television continues to be a hotly debated topic between your RATV hosts. Is it the focus on parenting? Nostalgia? Laugh tracks? Zach and Nas share an emotional moment over their love of weird television moments (but usually not the same moments.)The two episodes we discussed are available to watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64oNeiUPOeg&list=PL_rgmo7DIqebwt8WwCwzCin6KCdPlLOA3
