Now that the Play-In Tournament has officially completed, the NBA Playoffs are officially tipping off and Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, will preview each of the eight first-round matchups. The Grizzlies and Wizards survived the Play-In, but how much longer will they stick around? (Spoiler: It won’t be long).

Riche and Adam also talk about the return of capacity crowds, the Bucks avenging last year’s loss to the Heat, and much more. So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!

Get on up and dance because Greg and Chico are here to deliver their thoughts on the conclusion to the Sam Raimi Trilogy by looking at Spider-Man 3 on this edition of Into the Spidey Movieverse.

On the third episode of The Most Sensational, Inspirational, Celebrational, Muppetational Podcast, Mirandia Berthold & Andy Atherton continue talking about their love for The Muppets and review episodes 9-12 of season one of The Muppet Show that featured guest stars: Charles Aznavour, Harvey Korman, Lena Horne & Peter Ustinov. And give their thoughts on their favorite characters and sketches that appeared in each.

This Week on It Was a Thing on TV the gang goes across the pond to look at a pair of topics related to two staples of British TV.
 
First, in 1996 Whovians got some closure seven years after the end of the original series in the form of the Seventh Doctor regenerating into the Eighth Doctor, whose lifespan was, more or less, this movie (minus Big Finish Productions).  The ratings weren't that great, a revival was passed upon, and the franchise would be dormant for another nine years.
 
After that, we're going way back with this one, but it's a goodie.  At Last the 1948 Show only ran for two series, but it was a primitive version of one of television's classic comedy sketch shows, one Monty Python's Flying Circus.

In this spoiler-filled discussion they go over the plot elements, favorite moments and predict what to expect on the next episode.

The playoff hurricane is nearing NBA landfall, but there is still a whole lotta “what if’s” and second guesses about what is going to happen with the new 8-team play-in tournament. That’s why Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, are here to talk some sense into everyone, at least they hope. On episode 192, Riche and Adam will also discuss who they think deserves the annual NBA Awards (some of which they don’t always agree), Marv Albert’s impending retirement, an epic Hall of Fame ceremony more than a year in the making, and much more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!

In the eighteenth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, panelist Steve Riddle joins moderator/panelist Andy Atherton to discuss which Movies Set In High School deserve a place as on their respective lists. Is The Breakfast Club a no-brainer? What about Fast Times At Ridgemont High? Will Ferris Bueller’s Day Off grab a spot? Does Porky’s or Dazed And Confused deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Movies Set In College will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that the Animal House shouldn’t get a spot? Will Revenge Of The Nerds be included? Is Old School in the conversation? What about Back To School & PCU?

Welcome to PTBN Trivia Night, Place To Be Nation Pop’s first ever trivia game show! In our first of three semi-final matchups, Ryan Everett, James Gruenberg & Logan Crosland face off to see which one of them will earn a spot in our championship game.
Settle in and play along to see if you have what it takes to be a contestant on a future episode of PTBN Trivia Night!

On the forty-first episode of Laugh-In Theater, Andy Atherton welcomes back "Jambalaya" Jacob Williams to do a live watch of the 1998 comedy, The Waterboy. The guys discuss Southern-accented college football analysts; wild-caught catfish; cans of whoop-ass; southern charm; ass cheek tattoos; using wrestling moves in football; the Medulla Oblongata; Fairuza Balk’s scariness; alligator meat; Lawrence Taylor; “you can do it!”; the abuse of “Colonel Sanders”; the brain pain; fan boats; the “Sandler Posse” & what is and isn’t the devil! So remember, Captain Insano shows no mercy!

Pilot Month concludes this week on It Was a Thing on TV as Mike, Chico and Greg also take a look at a beached whale in Oregon.
 
First, you heard about the TV movie in the previous episode.  The powers that be at NBC felt it was so successful that a pilot was made a year later.  It had its moments but alas, no Michael J. Fox, no Todd Bridges, and no Nancy McKeon only got High School U.S.A. to pilot stage, one which aired.
 
Next, The Coneheads was a staple of the early days of SNL and it was later a cinematic release, but there was an animated pilot in 1983 which was a one and done.  Get your sensor rings at the ready as we look at the wacky adventures of Beldar, Prymaat, and Connie Conehead.
 
Finally, in November of 1970, a story aired on KATU news in Oregon about a beached whale being exploded with dynamite to dispose of it. It ended up being one of the most unusual and memorable local news reports of all-time.

Pop Goes To The Couch continues their coverage of the streaming series, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. In the seventh installment, James Gruenberg, J Arsenio D’Amato & Greg Diener review and break down Season 1 Episode 7 “Pond Hockey”. In this spoiler-filled discussion they go over the plot elements, favorite moments and predict what to expect on the next episode.

For the first time ever, the offseason previews start while the season is going, but to be fair, some teams were already in the offseason weeks...or months ago. This episode features perennial mainstay the Minnesota Timberwolves, who started the season 2-0, only to win 1 of their next 11 and eventually fire their coach and newcomers the Houston Rockets who made a series of questionable trades dealing both James Harden and Russell Westbrook and then lost 20 in a row at one point.

On Episode 2 of Popcorn Chicken Salad, join Ben Locke, Shawn Kidd and Logan Crosland as they watch the 1983 "classic" The Twilight Zone: The Movie.
Topics discussed include The Midnight Special, favorite driving songs, Burgess, Scatman (be bop bop a bop), old people Avengers, slut shaming Mrs. Weasley, coach C of Shawn's train, peanut butter burgers, 80's power ballads being ruined, sleep-deprived Logan, an actual sentimental moment, roles reversed as Ben spoils things for Shawn and Logan and #6 in the inappropriate comments countdown. We also reveal the next film we will be watching via some subtle clues.
Come for the concept but stay for Logan getting more tired and cranky as the film goes on, its Popcorn Chicken Salad.
