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

This week on Network Special we start what will no doubt be an annual tradition (since there are so many of them) and watch one of the sequels to the Robert De Niro & Charles Grodin comedy Midnight Run. This one is technically a sequel but just as in The Jerk, Too this seems to take place in a parallel universe of sorts. Also, an early Christmas present: an improv sesh starring your new favorite characters Tabitha and her surfer brother!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
