EPISODE NOTES
I decided to unlock a Patreon episode! Enjoy 2 hrs of 90210 talk!
Description:
This show was really wild. In order to fill a schedule with over 270 episodes the amount of storylines that 90210 produced is just out there. Since we aren’t devoting the entire show to recapping the show me and Charles decided to pick some of our standouts and it has to do with the vices and party drugs that crept into the show.
At first we take a lighthearted fun approach to underground rave culture with (shock!) bad girl Emily Valentine. In Season 2’s U4EA (1991) episode we get into the fashion that’s amazing, Emily’s vibe and how much Brenda hates her, and how Brandon is actually cool to be around for once.
Now, it takes a different and darker turn in Season 6’s Snowbound (1996) we get a front row seat to the development of ‘Cocaine Kelly’ and her relationship with “artist” Colin. There are so many iconic moments that we get into about the show as a whole and just how Luke Perry is so amazing and will forever be the glue of the show.
Off-topic rants include: our favorite tv themes, tv censorship of the 90s, and the spinoffs that ensued.
