    Why Shot JR #16 - S2Ep8 - Dead Men and Live Women

    aka The Accidental Idiot, aka All Things Are Possible With Money, aka The First Rule of Politics Is...  A lot of alternate titles for a whole lot of show packed into 48 minutes.  In this episode Cliff comes back to center stage, tries to make the world a better place by running for office, gets his past dragged through the mud for his trouble, and resigns to sell his soul to the highest bidder.  It's an uplifting, Capra-esque piece of drama.

    Show #14 - Dallas S2Ep6 - The Gringos Go to Juarez

    Our latest recap of the show, following a brief hiatus for some medical R&R.  In this episode, Bobby wants to be Bob the Builder and Pammy's libbing it up as a working woman and an activist for polyandry.  Not true, but wouldn't it be great if she was. Yes, Pam had a long ago husband, but everyone including her seems very hazy about the details.  We think the writers were a little bored and checked out on this one.  The title, Double Wedding, might be the first clue.

    Show #13 - The Race to the Baby (teaser)

    The one where Sue Ellen decides to buy a baby on the black market, utilizing an adoption agent and attorney to do so.  Weird.  Oh, and lots of sexy sax music to boot. First, Leanna and Josh deliver their top 5 most cringe-worthy tunes of all time. To support the show and get all the content, please go to https://www.patreon.com/whyshotjrpod

    Show #12- Dallas Season Two Episode 4 - Cows, Horses, and Heart Attacks

    We are back in the saddle, running down and branding each of the 357 episodes of Dallas.  On today's show, Jock has a heart attack, Bobby tries to cry about it, Sue Ellen hits the bottle, and Lucy needs a little carpe diem in her life.  It's bad acting all around in one of the soapiest episodes yet.

    Bad Year Battle Part 2: 2020 vs 1978 (Teaser)

    A teaser for the even longer second half.  This is Part Two of our epic recap of the year that was pitted against the year that was 42 years earlier.  And it already seems out of date, because we recorded it the day before the riot at the United States Capitol. Still, if you want a few laughs, and to reminisce (which if you do you might have a problem), we are here with the when, the where, the who, the how, and the what, but certainly no why. Oh, and we review the new Wonder Woman movie. Enjoy, and here's to a better 2021. Please support the show and get all the content at:  https://patreon.com/whyshotjrpod

    Bad Year Battle: 2020 vs 1978

    We look back on the year that was in horror.   Josh and Leanna recap the big news events month by month, and to make our year-end review a little more interesting, we pick another year not entirely at random to compare it to: 1978.  It's a titanic battle of the years, a cage match that takes place inside a sh@#-filled Grand Canyon of tragedy, disease, death, and heartbreak.  Which year will be the one evil ring to rule them all?  Spoiler alert: it's 2020 with a bullet.  But 1978 puts up a good fight.  If only it had a pandemic in its corner. The second half of this epic blood match will be up on the Patreon feed.  Subscribe and support the podcast at https://patreon.com/whyshotjrpod. We also have a Youtube channel now, devoted more to the movie side of American culture.  Check out our first video essay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57DM14FjG_4&t=5s. Here's to a better future for us all in 2021!
