Perhaps the weirdest show to ever be on television. Some of the worst films to be nominated for an Academy Award. A 70s short film about recycling.

Episode 207 is the perfect cool dose of Gen-X nostalgia for the hot August summer days.

It kicks off with an educational short film looking back at the early days of the recycling movement. Recycling In Action covers a lot of the basics, complete with classic eerie 1970s music, and loads of vintage 70s fashion.

Talking chimps who are also secret agents? It is not a fever dream; it is Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. This television show only lasted a few months in the early 1970s, but made an impact on me and others of my generation. We will dive deep into the madness of this real show.

Not all Oscar-nominated movies are good. This week's Top 5 will prove that. We will look at some of the worst films to get Academy Award nominations

There is, of course, a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the infamous 1994 Major League Baseball players' strike.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
