    S02E19 - The Dick Tracy Specials

    On a bittersweet episode of Network Special, Zachariah the OG returns to send us off in style! That's right, this is the last and final episode of Network Special ever! We watch two very strange Warren Beatty specials that aired on TCM (reluctantly I assume) which he created all to retain the rights to Dick Tracy in a move that will not pan out the way he hopes. Tune in to hear us laugh and laugh and laugh one last time! Oh, and there might even be one more special guest but you'll have to listen all the way to the end to find out. No cheating and fast-forwarding!!

This HBO movie takes you deep into the Satanic Panic of the 80s; focusing on the McMartin Preschool and the allegations of child abuse that turned out to be one big crock of YOU KNOW WHAT. Also, tune in to hear all about Nathan's past as he remembers what it was like to be caught up in the fever!

    S02E17 - Peter Pan (1960)

If you don't like Broadway musicals, then you'll hate it! Tune in to find out which one of us likes it and which one of us doesn't!

    This week on Network Special, we get to help close out the year with a show we actually liked! Jim Henson comes to the rescue with this charming little southern Christmas classic from 1977.

    S02E12 - A Smoky Mountain Christmas (1986)

    It's Christmas. It's the Smoky Mountains. It's Dolly Parton and Lee Majors. It's Dan Hedaya. All of the pieces of a perfect Christmas puzzle are there except for one crucial thing: a witch! Oh, and also a Snow White parody of sorts. What more could you ask for?
