Season 1 - Episode 08 - The King is Back
Jerry is not an alien....but a visitor. A calm, serene visitor who discovers that fingerpainting on an overpass is a capital offense.
The Professor's action demo reel landed him Lord of the Rings but is rudely ignored for his Waluigi accent. House of Gucci needs a sequel: Professor Gucci. These are the issues.
Rembrandt is Elvis and our other heroes are groupies. XYZ PQ is not just for junior highers. We trust the process with shattered wine bottles. Jerry's lips say “free ice cream” but his shower cap abs say “no ice cream.”
Our research team invests three minutes in Wikipedia scrolling to get the scoop on our MVPs.
Please leave us a review and tell the world about “The Top Four soon to be Number One” podcast.
Season 1 - Episode 07 - The Weaker Sex
Help us sort through the parts of the spacecraft to find what is good. Kristin crawls through the parts and can barely make it to the end of Aaron's list.
We look for the tie-in book about the Great Plebiscite. Wade is renamed to Slade; Credit to Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin for giving us Slade. Facts.
Jerry is introduced as Slade's boyfriend and no one reacts. He also dries her hair. Did we miss an episode?
The Professor is triggered that women run the world and they're triggered that he is running for mayor. The tension is so high that someone needs to cry.
Thanks again to our listenership who has increased to between 4 and 4 million.
Season 1 - Episode 06 - Eggheads
Explore a world more passionate about Jerry than we are. His billboard gives Kristin a fever dream. He is Mr. All-American, Mr All-Everything but can he become a world class athlete in two games?
Sigmund steals the scene but isn't quite an MVP. Who are Rembrandt and Wade? Do they snack on anything other than popcorn?
Jerry is intimidated by a mobster who quotes Latin then immediately translates it. How much impact can this man have on the Sliderverse? Was Hamilton built on the foundation laid by Sliders? Can Jerry make it to Square 31? Should you ever bet against Jerry?
Kick back with Rembrandt and Wade on their staycation to find out the answers to these questions and so many more.
Season 1 - Episode 05 - Summer of Love
Get ready for another apocalypse countdown! Just don't keep track of the threads that this episode leaves hanging.
Lots of forgetting in this episode. Writers spin-up threads that don't go anywhere. Our heroes must remember how to jump through vortexes.
What is more shocking: Having a spider wasp crawl up your back or Bennish with a haircut?
Jerry quarterbacks a rock for the Professors back but touches our hearts. Our MVP steps into a phone booth to transform into a superhero and is forever remembered in the Tomb of the Unknown MVP.
Stay tuned to find out how Wade's Vibe Directive reigns supreme over the Prime Directive.
Minisode 1 - The Slider Who Made a Difference
We dedicate this minisode to our first review on Apple Podcasts.
Kristin guesses which sentence is not in the first two pages of Sliders the Novel.
You too can make a difference. Leave us a review or follow us on Instagram.
Season 1 - Episode 04 - Prince of Wails
Jump the shark with us and dive into the episode!
We keep it fresh every week like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Jerry's hair emerges unscathed by water in a fountain.
A librarian's mullet can capture the heart of a monarch. College level literacy is front page news.
Help us tackle the real issues. Can plagarism inspire a revolution? What is a more powerful weapon during a montage of daring-do: Crossbows or keytars? Can yelling get someone out of prison?
Thanks to the fans of the podcast that are polling us at 98% +- 4%.
Stay tuned to find out what takes longer: Inventing democracy or making out after telling someone you won't marry them?
Season 1 - Episode 03 - Last Days
The Professor invents the atom bomb and shoots it into space; Wade brings tinfoil.
Balloon animal hats symbolize human depravity while a keytar shreds the stage. Plastic dinosaurs trigger scary music. Wade romances “Pouty Jerry” but who can resist keytar music and sliding while dancing? Did we mention that a keytar works overtime in this episode?
Rembrandt gets a strong storyline and Kristin is genuinely moved by how it could spin off into its own indie film.
Plus, stay tuned to find out how Sliding Made a Difference.
Editor’s note: A mistake was made when discussing the reactions to the three truths and a lie. Aaron looked at the wrong list and swapped out one lie for another lie. To be clear: there was no montage of Jerry being shirtless and no one daydreamed about a honeymoon that involved a soldering iron. We hope that you let this mistake slide.
Season 1 - Episode 02 - Fever
The show teaches us that mullets come in many different styles from MS Paint to Mother Gothel. Not all face spackle is made the same and any generic earring can be shared with a lover. Also, we discuss how our species survived the male romper fad.
Can a TV show from 1995 predict our world? Is there a taxi cab that can evade a helicopter? Does trash food make someone sleepy? Is there an MVP trophy?! The answers to these questions and so many more are yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!
Pilot - Part 2
Dive in with us into the second half of the Pilot of the show Sliders.
We learn to trust the process when Jerry is in peril. Our heroes must survive the horrors that Soviet Hill Valley AU throws at them including guns that recoil without bullets. Jerry demonstrates his full arsenal of hand-to-hand combat. He nods in scenes where he didn’t speak to cue us on how to feel….and we are moved.
Stay tuned to find out who wins our MVP trophy!
Pilot - Part 1
Our first episode!
We introduce ourselves and talk about the first half of the Pilot of the show Sliders. Our discussion includes if 90’s jokes age well, hair so powerful its shape defies vortexes, and “Is Blue Shirt Jerry Evil?”
