MELR0210 #57 - 90210's "Cardio-Funk" & Melrose Place's "The Tangled Web" (Patreon)

It's our monthly flashback to sunny, sexy, 1990's Los Angeles on MELR0210! 

First up on Beverly Hills, 90210, it's the ultra-filler episode, "Cardio-Funk," which first aired on February 27, 1992. While the writers kill time, this episode sees Dylan tempted by Sarah (a.k.a. Surfer Betty from s1e2's "The Green Room") while he helps her through A.A., Brenda tempted by the super-aggressive creep Tim she meets at aerobics class, and Jim Walsh—what's that say?—getting way too into the new karaoke machine he made Nat install at the Peach Pit?

Then up the street on Melrose Place, it's the sexy, wheel-spinning episode, "The Tangled Web"! Originally airing on November 10, 1993, this ep devotes all its time to Matt Fielding and the trials and tribulations of—lol, just kidding, Matt doesn't even appear in the episode. No, it's all about computer billionaire, Steve McMillan getting in one tangled web with Jo, Allison, and a rightfully-suspicious Billy; it's also about Amanda getting in a weirdly tangled web with Jake and her probably-embezzling father, Palmer. Oh, and Kimberly and Michael look at a kid's x-ray together. 

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 they 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 the WHM Patreon!
