Welcome to the very first episode of My Sister Made Me Watch This – the podcast where two sisters dive into the pop culture one of them definitely did not sign up for.
In this premiere episode, Cherue forces Michelle to revisit the original Battlestar Galactica series from 1978. No, not the gritty 2000s reboot — we're talking classic space opera, Alpo commercials, and action figures with glowing red eyes.
In this episode:
- 🚀 Cherie reveals her extensive (and slightly alarming) Cylon knowledge
- 👧 Michelle admits she mostly watched for “the cute guy" and "the Alpo guy”
- 🎭 A deep dive into Cherie's very first cosplay attempt… involving Sharpies and a card table
- 🧸 The emotional trauma of a borrowed (okay, stolen) action figure
- 🎄 A pitch for a hypothetical Battlestar Galactica Christmas special
- 📼 Nostalgia-fueled laughs about VHS tapes, toy guns, and futuristic shoulder pads
Plus, we explore how a one-season show from the '70s spawned reboots, conventions, lifelong fandom… and maybe a little sisterly resentment.
