(Recorded May 25, 2025) Up this week is episode eleven (ep 12 for the purposes of the tile) of the 90’s tv show, Dark Shadows, which we're dubbing, “If The Dress Doesn’t Fit, You Must Acquit.” It’s the trial of the century (the 18th century) and Victoria is finally having her day in court. Peter is representing her as she stands accused of being a witch. A totally normal thing back then because America has alway been weird. This trial has everything: wigs, tiny little straw dolls, men in pilgrim costumes, and scorned lover back from the dead. And while all of this is going on, the rest of the gang works to get Josette safely through her fifth night in Collinwood. Unfortunately, since she let Barnabas go to town on her neck, she’s under his spell. He beckons her to be by his side for all eternity, but will she be a runaway bride? Plus, Meaghan has a bone to pick with George; George meets a real live Barnabas; and we throw in as much O.J. content as we can. (Original network airdate March 11, 1991)

(Recorded May 18, 2025) Up this week is episode ten (ep 11 for the purposes of the tile) of the 90’s tv show, Dark Shadows, that we’re calling, “Are You There God? It’s Me, Barnabas.” Peter shares the Collinsport Family History Book with Countess Natalie, who struggles to believe it contains the truth. Joshua calls a house meeting and tells everyone they’re moving into the new Collinwood, the current place has bad juju. Barnabas has sailed to England, and by England we mean his father placed is coffin in the family mausoleum. Barnabas wakes up hungry and goes out for a bite. Abigail invites Reverend Trask over so they can continue to blame Victoria for everything even though she is still in Lockup: Collinsport. Natalie convinces Josette that they must leave, but Josette goes to the old house looking for her music box, but finds an old flame instead. Plus, George and Meaghan discuss their seasonal allergies, dark money in politics, and if Josette and Barnabas are playing a game of, “no, I’m sorry!” (Original network airdate March 8, 1991)

(Recorded May 11, 2025) Up this week is episode nine (ep ten on the tile, but you get it) of the 90’s tv show, Dark Shadows, that we’ve dubbed, “Single White Female.” The Collins family buries their hottest son, Jeremiah (but will he stay buried?) and Aunt Abigail calls in Reverend Trask not perform the service, but to arrest Victoria for witchcraft! Angelique, the real witch works up another spell, but this time it goes a bit awry. Barnabas finally takes a little bit of responsibility for the mess he’s caused but still lets Josette feel like it might have been all her fault. We learn that Peter is also a lawyer. A lawyer, honey! This man is now the best catch in Collinsport and we’re the only ones that can see it! In 1991, Phyllis is on deaths door (what kind of doctor is Julia again?) and the gang decides to hold another séance. The last one went so well they decided to do it again! And this time, instead of someone leaving, someone comes back. Plus, Meaghan figures out her villain origin story (hint: it involves the DMV), George tells us how he got to live out his Road House fantasy, and we debate some time travel theories. (Original network airdate March 1, 1991)

(Recorded May 4, 2025) This week we are discussing episode eight (ep nine for the purposes of this podcast) of the cult classic revival of Dark Shadows, that we’re calling, “There Can Be Only One," and boy is it a doozy. Josette finally arrives to Collinwood and we finally find out the origin story for that stupid music box. While Barnabas rolls around in the grass with Josette, Angelique doesn’t even wait a day to cast a spell that will ruin his life in many ways. Victoria stays not beating the allegations that she’s insane and a witch (and that’s not even because she taught the children Over the Rainbow). Jeremiah keeps being hot (the brocade vest somehow makes him hotter?) and unfortunately, that hotness leads to his downfall. Plus, Meaghan discovers a late 80’s gem, George does the Bartman, and we discuss what would've been a more satisfying approach to ruining a life had we been Angelique.

(Recorded on April 30, 2025) This week we are discussing episode eight (technically episode seven!), “You, Me, and du Prés” from the cult classic, 90's tv show, Dark Shadows. We’re introduced to the Collins family in 1790 as Victoria Winters is hurled back in time via a séance gone wrong. Victoria stumbles her way into the position of tutor at Collinwood (with the help of a very handsome Peter Bradford). Barnabas keeps telling everyone how much Victoria looks like Josette (we get it dude!). We finally meet Barnabas’s hot brother, Jeremiah and the fact that is just now showing up is a real disservice to the show. Barnabas’s nosey Aunt Abigail can’t help but think there is something off about Victoria and enlists the help of Reverend Trask. And Angelique does her best to seduce Barnabas but when things go wrong she finds her own minion in Ben Loomis. Plus, George has a lot of thoughts on theaters that are also restaurants; Meaghan tries her hand at a French accent; and we both think Angelique is going after the wrong brother.

(Recorded on April 20, 2025) This week we have a very special episode we're calling, “Opening the Coffin,” and we are chatting about the first half of the season of Dark Shadows with Dustin Holden from The Rewatch Recap! We do a special speed round of questions with Dustin: favorite character, favorite episode, which Collins family member he would dress as if he was invited to the costume party, etc. Dustin fills in some gaps for us with his knowledge of the original series. We talk what about works and what doesn’t work in the series (very little!). And Dustin hints at what we can look forward to in the last half of the season! Make sure to check out The Rewatch Recap (especially the Ghostwriter retrospective!).
