This episode is devoted to Canadian singer and multi-instrumentalist Jane Child. She's our first one-hit wonder, and she's possibly the last big one-hit wonder of the 80's. This episode is being released on February 15, which--coincidentally enough--is also Jane's birthday, so we're wishing her a happy one.
Our 'movie' this time is actually a TV show we loved when we were young called B.J. and The Bear, about a trucker and his chimp Bear who travel the country and meet women in every town, all while attempting to stay one step ahead of the law. The show was created by the ubiquitous Glen A. Larson (Battlestar Galactica, Magnum P.I.) and was one of our favorites at the time.
