Episode 181: "Leprechaun 4: In Space" (1996)🍀

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️Did I fall asleep? This week, Ryan and guest co-host Cadu revisit the two-season Joss Whedon series "Dollhouse", starring Eliza Dushku, and take a look back at the sci-fi drama that left a lasting impression despite its short run. We discuss the show’s premise, standout moments, memorable characters, and the themes of identity, memory, and control that made it so compelling.Also in this episode, we are thrilled to share a special message from acclaimed singer-songwriter Jonatha Brooke, whose unforgettable theme song, “What You Don’t Know,” became such a vital part of Dollhouse and its haunting atmosphere. A celebrated folk-rock artist, guitarist, and composer, Jonatha has built an impressive career through decades of powerful musical storytelling. Known for her rich vocals and deeply emotional songwriting, she has released numerous albums and has also written music for film and television, including Disney projects.It is a full retrospective on a series that may have only lasted two seasons but still gave us plenty to talk about."The story follows Echo (Eliza Dushku), a "doll" or "Active" for the Los Angeles "Dollhouse", one of several facilities, called "Houses", run by a company which hires out human beings to wealthy clients. These "engagements" range from romantic interludes to high-risk criminal enterprises. Each Active has their original memories wiped and exists in a childlike blank state until programmed via the insertion of new memories and personalities for each mission."Starring: Eliza Dushku,Tahmoh Penikett, Harry Lennix, Fran Kranz, Enver Gjokaj, Dichen Lachman, Olivia Williams,⚡️Cadu On InstagramPlease Like 👍 Comment 📝 and Subscribe ✔️ to support the channel!⚡️Davids Instagram: ⚡️Radical Ryan's Instagram⁠⁠THUNDERCATS INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM ⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⚡️For Business Inquiries & Beyond: [email protected] Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️Ryan and David dive fork first into “Simply Irresistible” (1999), the rom-com where food is sexy, feelings are contagious, and one very magical crab might be running the kitchen. Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Amanda Shelton, this movie serves up mood-altering meals that spark joy, tears, confidence, and yes… a little orgasmic energy on the plate.Is it romance, fairy tale, or full-on culinary chaos? And then we ask the real questions: does it hold up? Did it ever?
