Remember when networks would roll out the red carpet for "Special Movie Events" that had entire families gathering around the TV? In this nostalgic episode, host Jamie Ray welcomes back returning guest David Hayes to dive deep into the golden age of broadcast television movies. 

Whether it was a creepy monster movie, a thrilling disease-of-the-week drama, or one of those epic historical sagas that seemed to run forever, these movies were more than just entertainment – they were shared experiences that defined decades of television viewing.

Join us as we celebrate the art form that gave us everything from prestigious literary adaptations to wonderfully over-the-top originals, and discuss what made these Special Movie Events so... well, special.
