14.9 There Was an Election (We Watched a Show), or: Dweebs (1995), 9 of 10

Nov 19 2024 31 mins

If you can't guess from the title, this episode was recorded immediately following the 2024 election in the United States. Join hosts Emily and Andrew as they try to stay on topic but find themselves distracted by the definitionally progressive television show from 1995. They also try to figure out why Wendie Malick agreed to guest starring on this twerpy show.

14.8 Greetings Fellow Kids (Why Is It So Boring), or: Dweebs (1995), 8 of 10

Nov 09 2024 25 mins

Somehow the show manages to do a Stephen Tobolowsky-focused episode and not leverage anything he can do. So it's boring. Listen to Emily and Andrew talk about how it's boring, how it's not as gross as it could be. Warning: Final Episode Recorded Pre-2024 Election

14.7 It Is Not Safe (Concerningly Unsafe), or: Dweebs (1995), 7 of 10

Nov 01 2024 36 mins

Is it the most disturbing episode of DWEEBS? For sure. Is it the most problematic thing Emily and Andrew have had to discuss for all of the pod? Maybe. This episode has it all... if you're looking for bad sex jokes, weird office politics, and then... criminal office politics? One would hope criminal. Icky bad.

14.6 They Know it's Creepy (Maybe They Forgot), or: Dweebs (1995), 6 of 10

Oct 26 2024 25 mins

In an entirely unexpected turn of events, one of the guys falls hard for Kari and doesn't have a gross subplot about it. Emily and Andrew keep checking to make sure they're watching the right show. There are the usual nineties yikes moments, to be sure, but overall... has DWEEBS turned a corner?

14.5 The Creep Factor (Is Ever Strong), or: Dweebs (1995), 5 of 10

Oct 18 2024 26 mins

As much as Emily and Andrew do not want to discuss nineties fitness culture as presented on primetime television, they have no choice thanks to yet another episode of terrible work-life boundaries. Undoubtedly more things occur--oh, no, doodly-doo fantasy sequences... Joy.

14.4 Take That Bechdel (Sweat It Out), or: Dweebs (1995), 4 of 10

Oct 14 2024 28 mins

Emily and Andrew are too busy being stunned at how the men write dialogue for the lovely female television actors to notice it may be one of the first (cyber) catfishing episodes. Join them as they stare into the abyss of nineties television.

14.3 Thick Dip (With Chunks), or: Dweebs (1995), 3 of 10

Oct 04 2024 28 mins

Emily and Andrew think they're going back to the office with the guys but then realize it's another episode entirely centered around having to socialize with your coworkers off work time. Also there's some good Tobolowsky. Which is about all you can ask for with DWEEBS.

14.2 Recorded Live In Studio (Is CBS The New ABC), or: Dweebs (1995), 2 of 10

Sep 29 2024 35 mins

Emily and Andrew record the first ONESIES live and get to discuss unexpected better performances (oof), post-pilot changes, comic timing, the lack of comic timing, the lack of comic anything, and the ick factor. So much ick factor.

14.1 Something About This Seems Familiar (Not Just the Sexism), or: Dweebs (1995), 1 of 10

Sep 15 2024 30 mins

Emily and Andrew make sure there's no one using the phone line, then pop in the latest AOL CD that came in the mail, and zoom back in time to 1995 when the world hadn't yet given up on American sitcoms centered around computer nerds. What do they learn? Not a lot, but it's only ten episodes and at least it wasn't on ABC. Plus, Stephen Tobolowsky!

13.13 Mel Mansplains Jazz (Of Course, He Does), or: World of Giants (1959), 13 of 13

Aug 25 2024 27 mins

And now, the time has come, Mel's faced his final mission, He's walked the smallest steps, and now Emily and Andrew can run away. Da do run run. But, yes, it's true: WORLD OF GIANTS has reached its conclusion. Does it go out on a special effects spectacular? No. Is it at least not racist about its first Black character? It is, which is a welcome surprise. Does that mean
