Season 2 Episode 13 – Save the Shark *LIVE EPISODE*
In this geographically centralized episode of Surf Dudes, we convene down near Dollywood in Nashville together for our first ever live episode! Zac and I were joined by fellow California Dreams historian Mallory to dissect the lucky thirteenth episode of this sophomore season. We got to watch an episode together, see our notetaking processes and…
Season 2 Episode 12 – School House Rock
On this costume-heavy and twinkie-cream-filled segment of Surf Dudes with Attitude, we examine the episode of California Dreams that name-drops Sting extensively. The gang hatches a scheme to perform for Sting’s manager for a chance to open at his upcoming concert. Begging for a support slot might be the most realistic thing this show has…
Season 2 Episode 11 – The Year of the Woo
WOO WOO! We get a Sam-centric episode on California Dreams. Finally, we are provided some much needed backstory and exposition on our favorite set of lungs. The Dreams find themselves in a real PICKLE as their van breaks down before a big gig. They ask Sam for a loan to fix it but it puts…
Season 2 Episode 10 – Vote of Confidence
In this politically charged episode of Surf Dudes, we take a deep, Kornacki look at the infamous election episode of California Dreams. In a classic case of sibling rivalry, Jake gets an incurable case of Little Brother Syndrome and runs for student body president. Meanwhile, the Dreams are asked to play a campaign rally for his…
Season 2 Episode 9 – Bwa Ha Ha Means I Love You
2×9 “Bwa Ha Ha Means I Love You” In this high-flying, hullabaloo and hijinx-filled episode, we dive into the themes of teenage responsibility, entrepreneurship, DIY recording techniques and job hunting for the California Dreams band. Jake gets an embarrassing job at a record store with a slightly unhinged middle manager. He can’t tell Tiffany about…
SIDE PROJECT: JEM and the Holograms – The Bands Break up (Season 2, Episode 5)
Touch your dangly earlobes and boot up Synergy to travel across town with us! On this edition of SIDE PROJECT, we are talking uncut JEMS. Every once in a blue moon, we talk about other tv shows or movies that have bands as the central premise. We’ll be getting back to California Dreams right quick…
Season 2 Episode 8 – High Plains Dreamer
Ohh naur. It happened. We were threatened with some looseygoosey writing this season that led us down a path of silliness, non-continuity and questionable-at-best narration choices. And the “Coop De Grass”, as Sly would say, would be this old west dream episode. Highly debated in California Dreams fandom, it’s become a hotbed of controversy over…
Season 2 Episode 7 – A Question of Math
In this week’s arith-meticulasly convoluted California Dreams episode, the gang has to study for midterms. And let’s just say it’s a wee bit stressful. Meanwhile, Sam wants to get her freak on with the school hunk, Darrin. Only problem is that he’s a real scuzzbucket who’s only using our favorite teenage singer for her strong…
Season 2 Episode 6 – Surfboards & Cycles
This week, we welcome back special guest Mallory (@Wicked.Ida) to help us dissect this romance origin story of Tiff and Jake on California Dreams. Here on Surf Dudes with Attitude, we like to talk about band and music stuff. And sometimes the 90’s sitcom Gods smile upon us intermittnelty, they bellow with laughter. We’re happy…
Season 2 Episode 5 – The Sly who came to Dinner
We’re back! And have got an doozy for you. This front loaded episode is full of music and band themes as the California Dreams belt out TWO tunes at Sharkies. Unfortunately, the episode devolves into some Sly-centric nonsense after that. Peat has some very, berry, dairy conspiracy theories to talk through about a bowl of…
