Mr. Moore seems to be the most accurate portrayal of an educator this far in the pod, but his students on the other hand. Sheesh. Get ready for Russian stereotypes, the pimping of a red-head, Quiet on the Set: the Dark Side of Children’s TV, the inability to navigate NYC, Coma by Robin Cook, Jamiroquai, bad quiz bowl questions, The Exorcist, too many glass windows for a classroom, two hot messes, a hidden camera, and sticky office supplies.

Exit Ticket: What’s the difference between Russian and American schools? Well it’s not the hacking and social media misinformation courses.

Miss Beadle was a mess. If she wasn’t falling out of a carriage, she was releasing her students to die in a blizzard. Along the way, we encounter dumb Able, dumb Carrie, popcorn sex, Charles’s fine ass, that bitch Mrs. Olsen, that bitch Nelly, clay voodoo dolls, a lesson in spelling three letter words, students drunk on whiskey and high on opium, a calendar Christmas gift in need of a trashcan, a shed almost catching on fire, pissed off widows, and Linus telling us the reason for the season.

Exit Ticket: The Blizzard episode was based on a real incident from 1888 and Ronnie has all the details. Would you have survived? What if you had whiskey and laudanum?

The Holdovers - What do you do when you’re tasked with watching the students stuck in an all boys school over Christmas? Well, besides staying drunk you also: enforce a daily regime, watch The Newlywed Game, break up fights, not investigate the smell of marijuana, spray yourself with Glade, give everyone Meditations as a present, visit the emergency room, lie to the medical staff, lie to a former peer about what you’re doing now-a-days, take a field trip to Boston, light cherries jubilee on the hood of your car, point out erotic pottery, and finally get in trouble with the principal.

Exit Ticket: As we head into the Christmas break, what is some advice to pass on to teachers in need of that all too short two week respite? The hosts have some.

What do you do with a stubborn girl who won’t listen to reason but in the end always learns a valuable lesson? Give her a cartoon on Saturday morning TV. She also gets to watch lesbians play rugby, to hypnotize the town with synth music, illustrate white privilege, protest sexism in television, and along the way get exposed to: furry culture, brittle bone syndrome, hot dogs, the impulse to extort fame, a headline about her, the town Navajos, and trans kids. Very progressive for the 90s.

Exit Ticket: What are the top rated Saturday morning cartoons of Ronnie and Justin’s childhoods? What are their top 10 Saturday morning television shows?

Justin admits fault in choosing this stinker. For a film set in a high school with a school cheer team, there is a glaringly obvious omission of adults. A homeroom teacher takes roll and that’s it. Instead we have personal money spent on a misogynistic choreographer, a not-gay boyfriend, a gay cheerleader flirting with a boy so not gay, the prolific use of the f word by non-f’s, farting brothers, so much spitting, and the weirdest cheer routine ever.

Exit Ticket: Can Justin pass Ronnie’s quiz on plot points of Bring It On sequels? Give us a listen and find out.

Justin’s favorite movie so far and Ronnie is having flashbacks to teaching the novel. Is Beth the biggest villain yet? In addition to answering that question, there is a horrible coach, Speedos, a broken plate, photography nightmares, dates at McDonalds, barking, advice from Judd Hurst, a horrible trip to Houston, awkward hugs, and a garbage disposal eating French toast.

Exit Ticket: Justin asks us to role-play being a psychiatrist. What advice can two gays come up with? Give us a listen and find out.

Justin and Dalton’s worst nightmare of teens dance towards the camera opens this turd of a movie. Along the way there is sex education, bomb shelter sexual coercion, someone’s schlong flopping out, pox marked bikers, Polynesian appropriation, men in goggles, bowling ball choreography, couples spinning into oblivion, a school secretary who conducts the marching band and songs that go on for way too long.

Exit Ticket: It’s field trip time to an interactive horror / live theater experience. What happens when two gays get lost in the woods? Give us a listen and find out.

Extra Credit: A Field Trip and Classic Back-to-School Ads

Listener mail: A dick is drawn on a truck, a metal BB breaks the skin, someone doesn’t care for Ronnie’s political rants and just in time for Halloween there’s a ghost in a closet.

Field trip: The hosts take part in a Traitors-esque competition and give a play-by-play of how one of them won.

Classic back-to-school ads: Which one is the best? A classic McDonald’s ad from the 80s faces a local one from a few years ago. Which one came out on top? Here are the links:

There’s also a sneak peak at the winter trimester with a returning member of the adjunct faculty. Make sure you do your homework.
