We close out our As Seen on TV season with Riding the Bus with my Sister, a TV movie that should never have been made with a performance that no one should ever have to see. Plus, we play a game of "Who is Taller?" linktr.ee/themidnightboys

In DEATH OF A CHEERLEADER, a high school student decides murdering Tori Spelling is her ticket to popularity. We discuss nepobabies, 90s names and high school. Sorry to any Codys out there. linktr.ee/themidnightboys

As-Seen-on-TV: "Purple Urkel" In 1983, 100 million Americans tuned in to watch The Day After. Nuclear war is a bummer, but it might be funnier if Urkel were involved. linktr.ee/themidnightboys
