A Different Direction

Wrapping up our season about the Tremors What was up with uncles this season?

Is life kind of a lot right now? It sure is for us. But for a couple of hours, we're talking about a dumb TV show and whether baseball would be harder played with an invisible bat.

Next episode: 'The Key,' Episode 11 on Tubi. Everything Dave has argued about this show paying attention to details is out the window on this one.

Next episode: 'The Sounds of Silence,' Episode 10 on Tubi. The further we get into this podcast, the more Dave is becoming the Tremors Lore Keeper.

Next episode: Water Hazard, Episode 12 on Tubi. Dave misunderstands a fundamental element of the protest bucket.

The population of Perfection should be 90% EMTs. Next episode is Graboid Rights, Episode 9 on Tubi.

Which of you is the Scully and which is the Mulder in your relationship? The next episode we're watching is episode 5, Flora and Fauna.

Dave goofed up talking about Captain Ron, and everyone else goofed up thinking shriekers could be trusted. The next episode we're watching is episode 7, A Little Paranoia Among Friends.

Sometimes, shows only get one season because they're bad. Sometimes, it's because they're before their time. And sometimes, it's because they were aired so wildly out of order that even die hard fans won't be able to follow it. This is that last one. The next episode we're watching is episode 3, Night of the Shriekers.

This episode is a recap of a recap, and so, very reliable. The next episode we're watching is episode 2, Ghost Dance.

Remember that meme about how a dog would wear pants? We have a slightly more graboid-focused version of that conversation in today's episode.

This episode has enough juice to knock out Rodan. NOTE: The episode we're watching next is Hit and Run, listed as episode 6.

This episode might have the power to jam up guns. Note: Next episode, we're watching "Blast from the Past," which originally aired as episode 4.

Note: For the next episode, we're watching Shriek and Destroy. Which, if you're watching along, may appear as episode 13.

It's the first episode about Tremors, so of course you're going to learn a lot of the real absolute truth about Freemasons and the Great Molasses Flood.

Even if you look behind things, you might not find the real danger, which is under things. We're finally watching Tremors!

Learn the origin of Diana's Dia de los Muertos smell, and join us for the final episode of the fantastic show The Chair.

The penultimate episode of The Chair, learn about Diana's actual favorite smells, and more about how much Ju-Ju just absolutely rules.

There's a right way and a wrong way to give an apology, and boy can you learn both in this episode.

We joked about this being the Frasier reboot, and it's not, but like, it's also not not the Frasier reboot.

Tackling the real questions surrounding academia, who would win in a battle of the cinematic siblings.

Coming this February! A Different Direction returns to the airwaves with an all-new lineup of shows!

An explanation of our current hiatus.

Yo, this episode really has us pumped for season 2.

No one is safe. Sometimes you gotta have boots.

Dave has developed some powerful feelings about this dumb show.

Did you know that a show can be a lot better when you actually let the characters interact with each other?

Literally anything could be an Inhuman when Inhumans can be anything.

This really long episode is ultimately just to explore the most important question: Is Beetlejuice an Inhuman?

It's not a great sign for a show when the only person who says anything the audience agrees with is the tyrannical antagonist they hate.

This show is significantly lacking in Phil Collinses.

Agents of SHIELD was criminally underappreciated, so what happens when you spin it off with characters that were too obscure for that show, put the creator of Iron Fist at the helm, and release it two seasons after it was relevant to the series? We don't know, and be honest, neither do you. No one watched this show.

The final installment of the Fawlty Towers remakes brings with it something we never wanted: A Ferris Bueller Cinematic Universe.

Rails? Where this podcast is going, we don't need rails.

Comedy legends Betty White and Harvey Korman remaking a classic BBC comedy? What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, almost everything. Just so much.

We're going in a different direction this season, as we explore the strange phenomenon of failed US remakes of the 1975 BBC comedy Fawlty Towers. Watch here: Snavely: https://youtu.be/ACRE5llyano Amanda's: https://youtu.be/99S-Vbdgw-M Payne https://archive.org/details/payne-1999

It's the end of another season, and we have a mind-blowing revelation.

One more episode to go, and we just have to say, we're glad Ferris didn't kiss his sister in this one.

We're just… we're so sorry to have done this to you all.

We definitely tried to be as positive as possible about this episode about cops.

Cloris Leachman is a joy and a treasure and was simply too good for this show.

It's the multiverse, baby! In this one, we're all college basketball coaches, hanging with the most famous teen in the world.

We blow the entire lid off of the mascot industry with this one. Learn the real truth.

This episode benefited so much from an imagined off-screen character it might have been Jaws: The Revenge.

You'll never guess what happened when this 90's teen decided to throw a small party.

Just put the Spruce Goose in Top Gun, cowards.

Ferris Bueller is obviously a cult leader, and how have we only now figured this out?

Tangents! Get your tangents here! Fresh tangents, hot off the dome! Oh, also, Ferris is running a campaign for student body president or something.

Was Ferris Bueller always a psychopath and we just never noticed because Matthew Broderick was too white bread?
