In this unlocked bonus episode, Marty and Dan cover one of the worst shows of all time. My Mother the Car is a bizarre TV Relic that should have stayed buried but we can't help ourselves. It's just failure and loser energy all over the place with this one, folks.

We're meeting back up with our friend Teen Angel but things are looking a little different now, muich more manly, much more rugged, much more designed to appeal to a young male audience. And you know who young boys love more than anything? That's right, big JVD to the rescue again.

We're covering Dredd, Big Trouble in Little China, The Raid, and Violent Night. Episode contains spoilers. LAST TIME ON GOON ROYALE: Fifth Element took the Bad Boys down, much to Marty's relief. Con Air was completely obliterated, much to Marty's chagrin. What other emotions can we make Marty feel?  TODAY: We're joined by the great David Dylan Thomas (Director of White Meat: Appetizer) to enjoy some chaos, carnage, and christmas magic. Put the guns away, it's time for the goons to face FISTS and SWORDS and FESTIVE IMPROVISED WEAPONRY. Oh but also Dredd is here so yeah there are guns, he's almost exclusively shooting guys.

Continuing our journey into TGIF's most cursed attempts at success, we move on to 1997's Teen Angel. Teen Angel is a bizarre oddity from a pair of Simpsons writers about a dead teenager who comes back to help his best friend through high school, which apparently means teaching him to date. Plus, Marty is the defender of space. Like this? Join our Patreon, reach us on Bluesky, or send us an email: [email protected]

We close out our Mad About Mad About You miniseries with a look at the four- (four!) episodes that make up Mad about You's first series finale - until NBC changed their mind and brought it back with a baby. Continuing its streak of not caring about tv "rules", Mad About You brings everything to a big crash and we are along for the ride, stressed-out and angry! Like this?
