Book 'em, Danno episode 60
Season 5 begins to wind down with a couple of big plot episodes. Five-O has to untangle an impossible murder in "Here Today...Gone Tonight" and unknot a stock exchange heist in "The Odd Lot Caper". Come for the Monte Markham doubles, stay for the Richard Basehart villain laugh.

Book 'em, Danno episode 58
It's time for my favorite episode of the season, which means the illustrious Dan Budnik of Eventually Supertrain fame is back to talk criminal couples with the episodes "I'm a Family Crook -Don't Shoot!" and "The Child Stealers". Spoiler Warning! Dan and I talk episode endings from about 51:39 to 1:08:18 and 1:48:22 to 1:58:48.

Book 'em, Danno episode 57
We are officially at the half-way mark of Season 5 with "The Clock Struck Twelve". Five-O is up against some bombers looking to take out the courthouse. And for fun, I'm also talking about the Season 5 Halloween episode of the 2010 reboot, "Ho'oma'ike". There's a mild trigger warning for "The Clock Struck Twelve" episode and discussion for brief mentions of sexual assault.

Book 'em, Danno episode 56
Season 5 gifts us a three-parter. Five-O finds them up against a formidable crime family in "V for Vashon: The Son", "V for Vashon: The Father", and "V for Vashon: The Patriarch". Heads up if you're watching the episodes...The ending of "V for Vashon: The Patriarch" could be upsetting for some viewers.

Book 'em, Danno episode 55
The Season 5 fun continues with an STD-related murder in "Chain of Events" and then Danny struggles with amnesia in "Journey Out of Limbo". Trigger warning for animal death in "Journey Out of Limbo" both in the episode and in the discussion.

Personally very timely
My usual podcast M.O. seems to be this: become obsessed by a classic TV show, discover a podcast, start listening only to discover that it’s creator(s) have abandoned it, despair, and soldier on in isolation as no one in my real life cares about 50–year-old programming.
So I am overjoyed to find something that not only appears to still be in production, but which is also really entertaining. I am three episodes in and am charmed. I mean she had me at her love of Virginia Gregg (who was never on Hawaii Five O, but who should have been). I like the format. I am here for the commentary and the lust of fabulous period furnishings and outfits.
My only critique is that I think it’s okay to go with spoilers on something like this.
Wiki Wiki get it Brudduh!
Enjoyable discussions on the show, TV, history, pop culture, production techniques, acting, actors, cultural appropriation, fashion, color theory… Kiki has a genuine excitement and enthusiasm that is infectious and her personal attitude and literary “voice” are engaging and refreshing. It is all the more impressive given that it is the production entirely of 1 person!Similar podcasts are usually 2 people playing off of each other, but Kiki handles it all and it’s full of AWESOME-NESS! “It is my thing, it is my jam - let’s go to Hawaii”

Terrific podcast that gets right to the gist of what we love about original H5O, understanding that it's about the aesthetics as much as the talent behind and in front of the cameras. Host is super well-informed about the TV culture of the era and has a pleasant voice/delivery. If you happen to be rewatching the series you can't go wrong with this pod as a companion.
