This week, we take our catamaran out on a short trip to the San Fernando Valley to visit the Tanners (no, not THOSE Tanners) with their own loveable, Subterranean Homesick Alien living with them. That’s right, we are talking about the German sensation (no, not Hasselhoff) ALF! Our titular, 300 year old alien life form makes a music video in hopes of wooing a 16 year old girl that he lives with… yuck. To help dissect this Robitussin nightmare is Wicked Ida on the podcast! They’re a professional puppeteer and musician. So, we are demanding answers. This spaceship-sized turd of a series aired four seasons in the mid 80s and had a notorious reputation for being hellish and grueling to work on.
We discuss Alf’s astonishing post production capabilities, his fretboard technique (surprisingly good?) and the Tanner patriarch’s terribly toxic attitude toward his wife. This episode of ALF was almost as good as a Jeff Dunham special. That’s the truth!
ANNOUNCEMENT: We’ll be taking off for a mid-season break while Peat is away on tour with his band You Bred Raptors?. Check out if they’re coming to your city this summer! We’ll be back on July 24th with Episode 2×5 of California Dreams “The Sly who Came to Dinner”.
