S02E12 - A Smoky Mountain Christmas (1986)

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!!WATCHPublished by Golden Ox Studios - https://goldenoxstudio.com/SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.networkspecialpodcast.com/listenSOCIAL MEDIAhttps://www.facebook.com/networkspecialhttp://instagram.com/networkspecialhttps://www.tiktok.com/@networkspecial
