Episode 3 - Dan and Dave Take an Orphaned Airplane to Doomsday

Gee, these title are a lot harder to come up with when you talk about two episodes at once.

That said, we have a couple of fun ones.

Little Orphan Airplane has Greg Morris, Mission Impossible's Barney Collier, as a guest star, hard to say anything bad about that!  Frankly, I'd love a Mission Impossible podcast.  Hmmmmmm.

Those nuns were fun.

The nuns recognized Steve, which is nice, as he, you know, WALKED ON THE EFFING MOON.

I enjoyed Steve pantomiming a plane.

Hey, Steve, those, improvements, do they come in Black?

Doomsday and Counting is a classic sort of detente era show about the Russian, or, as Oscar would say, 'the sawvyets'.

Well known Russian Gary Collins.  Wearing Bieber's hair.

Nice Star Trek connection in this one, we have William Smithers as a Russian General (oddly enough standing by an East German symbol, but whatever) and he played Merik in Bread and Circuses, and the guy who calls for Steve and Vasili was in thee TOS episodes.  Wait, William Smithers was in two episodes of Mission Impossible.   You know, if I believed in a higher power, or any other, umm, magic, I might see this as a sign of some sort.  That the universe wants me to do a Mission Impossible watch through podcast.  

'Well Mr. Gold Mahn'. Maybe that's why Oscar mispronounces 'Soviets'.

Episode 2 - Dan and Dave and Robotic Fireflies

BIONIC GUITAR

We are now fully into season 1.

They still aren't doing much of the bionic sounds.

These two episodes were aired in early February, 1974.

Joke Kapp?

We got a little Dan Brodbeck guitar in this but I'm afraid it didn't record well, my fault.  I mean it's obviously my fault, Dan does this for like a job and such.  Oh also, Dan wins awards for things like this.  I don't...

Hey there's also a parapsychologist in this one, so there's something dumb for both of us.

It's ChatGPT with a wire face

John Saxon!

Steve's clothes continue to impress.

Wait, again, Joe Kapp?

BIONIC GUITAR!

That robot is pretty freaking impressive.

Robot alligators + Monkey sounds = Florida.

So is that Mickey Dolenz?

It's also our Dad's birthday, so happy birthday Dad.

Episode 1 - Dave and Dan's Fit Population

This title is disappointing, even for me.

As we are doing two episodes per podcast this will present a challenge...

NO BIONIC SOUNDS.

The lack of bionic sounds really takes me out of the show oddly, we'll see how Dan reacts later (in case you haven't figured this out, I write theses 'show notes' in advance).

Population Zero is like half the Andromeda Strain.  (BTW, that's a decent movie).

Oscar Goldman calls Steve 'pal' a lot.  I dig that when done unironically.

I am going to harp on this throughout the whole series, WHY DON'T PEOPLE RECOGNIZE A GUY THAT WAS ON THE FREAKING MOON?

'Adjusting some tiny trim pots.'

Episode 0 - Dan and Dave Have Six Million Memories of the Show

Every month or so Dan and I will talk about a couple of episodes. You know, like with Steve, except Dan isn't Steve as much as he's Dan Brodbeck, recordist.

We talked toys.

We talked bad effects.

We talked Farrah Fawcett.

We wondered who would want an Oscar Goldman doll.

Generally we just had fun.
