MELR0210 #75 - 90210's "Rebel with a Cause" & Melrose Place's "The Bitch is Back"
Added 2024-07-11 10:00:07 +0000 UTCHoly moly, it's the next episode of our TV recap show where we talk about two sexy, sunny, Los Angeles-set primetime soap operas from the 1990s, it's MELR0210!
First up on Beverly Hills, 90210, it's the wild-ass episode, "Rebel with a Cause." Originally airing back on November 11, 1992, this episode features Brenda trying to go out with Rick while Rick is more obsessed with Jim Walsh, Andrea digging further into the righteous West Beverly High computer hack perpetrated by Steve Sanders, David Silver piping up for two seconds about some battle of the bands he wants to play, and, of course, Kelly and Dylan getting together and making out at the Griffith Observatory!
Then, across town on Melrose Place, it's the infamous episode, "The Bitch is Back"! The world's mind was first blown by this episode back on April 27, 1994, and it's the one where Billy and Alison boringly fire a wedding planner, Amanda battles with her mother who works at the Models Inc. modeling agency (backdoor pilot alert!), and of course, the once-deceased Dr. Kimberly Shaw eerily returns to turn Michael and Sydney's life upside down because, indeed, the bitch is back!
MELR0210 is a WHM podcast where the guys blissfully stroll through the Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place timelines. The TV episodes covered will run in broadcast order.
Thanks so much for continuing to support the WHM Patreon! We know you have a lot of options when it comes to podcast entertainment and we're grateful you chose to spend some time with us. You're way cooler than Dylan McKay!

Please amp this up to twice a month. I just recently started listening to you guys because I was disappointed with my usual Melrose Place recap, cuz I'm normal. I envoke the spirit of Malachi Throne. Mingo, please.

2024-07-12 17:50:54 +0000 UTCIt's interesting listening to the guys discover in (almost) real time that Dylan kind of sucks.

2024-07-12 04:19:22 +0000 UTCI would pay good money for an exclusive tier covering all 29 episodes of Models Inc. if they were not all but scrubbed from the face of the earth.

2024-07-12 00:40:32 +0000 UTCAs one of the five people who watched Models Inc (on Fox at 8), I loved all of the guys’ references to the show. That series finale lives rent free in my head.

2024-07-11 20:55:30 +0000 UTCI hear “Reek”, and immediately think of Theon Greyjoy from Game Of Thrones.

Mike Kling
2024-07-11 19:53:10 +0000 UTCPlease please PLEASE do an episode on Wizards of the Lost Kingdom!! I had it on VHS when I was a kid and watched it many times, I spent years trying to remember what it was called when I recalled it in adulthood. It's an insane fantasy movie which is a total ripoff of Star Wars, down to the light sabers, floppy-haired savior, and a handsome rogue with a big fantasy Chewbacca-typa-guy

2024-07-11 14:26:58 +0000 UTCI don’t mind saying this has become my most looked forward to WHM content. I’m only sad that at this rate it’s almost impossible we’ll make it to the end (math was never my strong suit)
Milan
2024-07-11 14:23:53 +0000 UTCHell yeah! I remember this commercial for Melrose, it was on my simpson episode VHS
Dan Craftwerk
2024-07-11 14:11:25 +0000 UTCI'm never going to be able to meet anyone named Rick without saying 'Reek!' in my head and that's on you guys.

2024-07-11 12:33:28 +0000 UTCAt first, I thought "The Bitch is Back" referred to Andrea returning from the dead after being hit by that Mad Max car.
