Another Marvel movie will be released soon as we celebrate the return of Thor, so it's time for more entries related to actors and actresses in the MCU. We go back to 1980 for Stephen J. Cannell's first series, with Jeff Goldblum and Ben Vereen playing detectives in the short-lived but fondly remembered Tenspeed and Brown Shoe.

Why is Riche so obsessed with the luxury tax? Are the Knicks delusional or is Jalen Brunson truly the missing piece? Why in name of everything holy did the Thunder give Lu Dort $87 million?! Riche and Adam also discuss the super max extensions, the Kevin Durant trade talk, the Blazers rebooting or not, draft picks, and more! So suit up and take it out in an hour-long episode 243 with the NBA-Team!

In a recent It Was a Thing on TV taping session, we brought up Jonathan Frakes and the cult classic Late 90's/Early 2000's FOX show "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction".
In this special live show, Greg presents an episode featuring three potential show Hall of Famers in the five stories in this Season 2 episode. At the end of the episode, Mike and Chico will determine if these five stories pass the smell test.
Since this is a live show there were some problems with Mike's speaker system where the show audio was playing on his external speakers but that was quickly fixed.
If you want to play along you can watch this episode on the Filmrise True Crime YouTube channel. Make sure to pause after each segment when Mike and Chico give their review of the segment before moving on.

On the 28th edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Steve Riddle, Mirandia Berthold, and Andy Atherton embrace the Circle of Life as they discuss the 1994 hit, The Lion King. The trio talk about the many great aspects of the film including: the breathtaking Pride Lands; the voice-casting of the characters; the epic soundtrack of the film; whether Scar is truly one of the most underrated villains in Disney history; the trauma kids endured thanks to Mufasa's death; Timon and Pumbaa: the greatest friends a lion could have; the importance of Nala; the lack of finishing the job by Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed; the memorable hero's journey that Simba takes, and if the combination of this film, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast is the greatest 3-film stretch in Disney history. So grab your grubs, kick back in the shade, and leave your worries behind as Steve, Mirandia, and Andy continue their trek through the Disney Renaissance. Hakuna Matata!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV, we go on the streets in search of justice no matter what the species!
First, it's another police procedural from the 80s, but this one's different; it has a female lead. And a very big gun. And she wasn't afraid to use it. Lady Blue was one of the most violent shows on TV at that time. Alas, it ran for 14 episodes amongst tough competition.
Then, early in COVID times, a lot of odd shows came down the pipe to entertain audiences stuck at home. Gary Busey, Pet Judge was one of them. Take fake court cases, presided by a fake judge, complete with fake plaintiffs and defendants, and throw in an obviously fake court reporter and...hilarity ensues?
