    NBC's "The Story Lady"

    The Oscars have come and gone, but TV Movie Night is celebrating the toast of Tinsel Town in the month of March as we discuss made-for-TV movies featuring Best Actor or Best Actress winners! First up, from 1991, it's "Driving Miss Daisy's" Jessica Tandy in "The Story Lady." Tandy stars as Grace, a retiree who becomes an overnight sensation for her incredible talent: reading public domain children's stories with minimal issue! This movie combines Mark and Andrew's love of public access television with the backroom dealings of corporate America. It's "UHF" with an Academy Award winner! Listen in, how about?

    NBC's "Love's Deadly Triangle: The Texas Cadet Murders"

    Mark and Andrew round out February (and early March) with their final true crime look, with NBC's "Love's Deadly Triangle: The Texas Cadet Murder." Sometimes called "Swearing Allegiance," this tale of teenaged terror was billed as the movie THEY didn't want you to see. And that's mainly because its accusatory take aired smack-dab in the middle of jury voir dire, causing some Texas affiliates to balk at its airing. But, Mark and Andrew don't care none for the courts and will render their own verdict on this controversial retelling. Listen in, how about?

    NBC's "Beauty's Revenge"

    True Crime February continues with "Beauty's Revenge," sometimes called "Midwest Obsession." Mark and Andrew craft up their finest hot dish and delve into the world of murder, mystery and dairy princesses in this pulpy tale of revenge. "Melrose Place's" Courtney Thorne Smith and "Growing Pains" Tracey Gold square off over the love of one dumb cowtown hunk, but can it really be about the Midwest if not a single person plays euchre? I think not. Listen in, how about? ABOUT TV MOVIE NIGHT: TV Movie Night is a podcast featuring TV what-have-yous Andrew Krukowski and Mark Gonzales diving into the retro world of made-for-tv movies.

    NBC's "No One Would Tell"

    February kicks off our look at love gone wrong true crime made-for-TV movies. We start with a 90s star-studded affair in "No One Would Tell," based on a true story of a deadly high school romance. Starring "The Wonder Years" Fred Savage and "Full House's" Candace Cameron, "Tell" follows Stacey as her friends and family fail to tell, and later, convince her that her boyfriend, Bobby, is a real stinkin' creep.

    ABC's "The Wave"

    Our look at afterschool specials ends this week with a critically-acclaimed look at how easy it is to gas up a group of high schoolers in ABC's "The Wave." This Emmy-and-Peabody Award winner follows Mr. Ross as he teaches his students about how easy fascism can be spread by doing it in the most effective way: unethical (and possibly illegal) experimentation.

    ABC's "Mom's on Strike"

    Grab your picket signs and giant inflatable rats, cause we're on strike with the ABC's after school special "Mom's On Strike." Mark and Andrew saddle up to the negotiation table, as an overworked mom tells her family it's time for some changes around here. On the other side, her daughter Yeardley Smith and the rest of her family hope to keep the status quo of quiet desperation in tact. Both sides learn a lot as mom learns it's much easier to live without her family, even if it involves sleeping on the lawn. And the family learns being a mom is a giant pain in the butt.

    ABC's "It's Only Rock and Roll"

    Mark and Andrew are back for 2025 and they are learning lessons they failed to grasp in 2024 via after-school specials, our topic for January! First up, a tale of censorship, artistic integrity and smoking hot songwriting in ABC's "It's Only Rock and Roll." Debuting in 1991, "Roll" focuses on Hallie and her band, who make such an explicit song about smooching on someone (that can be performed on a show airing at 3 pm on broadcast TV) that the world's eyes are on them, for better and for worse. The Monkees' Davy Jones and songwriter Carole King are also here to rap with the kids, teaching us that creative expression should have limits. Unless it makes money.

    In the year's final TV Movie Night, Mark and Andrew get to the bottom of Mr. St. Nick, starring Kelsey Grammer and Charles Durning. Premiering on ABC in 2002, Mr. St. Nick sees Grammer try and live up to his Santa family name by being a rich layabout in Miami. But, when it comes time to take on the Santa mantle, does he have what it takes, other than gobs of money that aren't explained where they were obtained? Does anything else matter nowadays?
