MELR0210 #34 - 90210's "Spring Dance" & Melrose Place's "Single White Sister" (Patreon)

Holy moly, it's MELR0210! It's back... in pod form! Well, it was always in pod form, but now it's back and we're kicking things off with a super-sized episode! We're so excited to have you all along for the ride as we continue our journey back to the 1990s and collectively dream of the day when we can hang out on the beach again, visit a Shooter's pop-up, and maybe go for a ride in Dylan's cool car!

Up first on Beverly Hills, 90210, it's the penultimate episode of season one, "Spring Dance." Originally airing May 2, 1991, this episode has everything: Steve Sanders being a grade-A scumbag per usual, Brenda and Dylan getting. it. on, Donna buying a dress from the Gone with the Wind wardrobe department, Kelly and Brandon almost making out, David awarding some rich kid a free pizza, Andrea fantasizing about doing Texas Chain Saw Massacre cosplay, and Jim Walsh running around being a sneaky shutterbug!

Then over at Melrose Place, we meet the TV younger sister everyone loves to hate, Sydney Andrews! It's "Single White Sister," which originally aired on January 6, 1993. This episode features the Riverboat Strangler--er--Jake possibly looking to murder Jo on the beach, Allison being humiliated at Shooter's by Billy YET AGAIN, Rhonda accepting an awkward proposal from Terrence, and Jane's horrendous sister, Sydney drops in for an indefinite visit to everyone's favorite cursed apartment complex.

MELR0210 is a WHM podcast where the guys blissfully stroll through the Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place timelines. The TV episodes covered will run in broadcast order, but the gang may skip duller 'sodes in order to keep the focus on the nitty, the gritty, and the downright bizarre. Thanks so much for continuing to support our Patreon endeavor!
