(Recorded on March 30, 2025) We’re back this week with episode four of the 90’s tv series Dark Shadows and we're calling this one, “Twisted Firestarter.” We pick up right where we left off in episode three—Michael’s made a life changing decision; Julia’s got her eyes on Josette’s music box; Sarah’s back and trying to get a message to Victoria; Barnabas doesn’t know how to accept a gift; Roger’s secret art studio is discovered; David plays with matches; Maggie tries to warn Victoria; and Willie fears that Angelique might harm Barnabas. Plus, George wonders if Dark Shadows might be building too big of a world; Meaghan gives Maggie some dating advice; and we reminisce about the first time we recorded this episode—it's gone, but forever in our hearts. (Original network air date January 18, 1991)

(Recorded on March 9, 2025) This week we are delving into episode three of the cult classic tv show Dark Shadows, “The Nutty Professor.” In this episode, Professor Michael can’t stay out of his own way; Julia uses comically sized medical instruments; Barnabas gets his first gray hair; Victoria is wooed with some Byron; Roger throws Michael under the bus; Joe wants to try his luck in Bimini; and Sarah visits David in the family tomb.

Plus, Meaghan stresses over the podcast; George is being held together by soup; and of course we can’t stop talking about OJ. (Original network air date January 14, 1991)

Up this week is episode two of the gothic soap opera, Dark Shadows, and we're calling this one: “Did Somebody Say Stake?” In this episode, Daphne can’t escape the vampiric powers of Barnabas; Joe falls asleep on the job; Roger gets some; Professor Michael keeps something very special in his medicine bag; the Collinsport police department keeps giant crucifixes in their arsenal; and Julia has her eyes on a Nobel Prize in medicine.

Also, George finally turns on his microphone; Meaghan won’t shut up about Joe; and we question exactly how one gets turned into a vampire on this show.
