Welcome to our FINAL Homework: The Podcast. Sort of. We'll be switiching to a new channel next year, like when Family Matters moved to CBS and they replaced the mom. Ok hopefully not like that, but this is our last show on the Gaff Network, our home since we started this podcast. Anyway, in this one we talk about Top Gun: Maverick and we manage to stay on-topic for almost a record amount of time! So we're going out on a high note.

Welcome to our second Holiday Special, about the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol, starring Reginald Owen as Scrooge. Every version has to try to make the story their own, and in this one, Bob Cratchit is FIRED after accidentally pelting Scrooge with a snowball and getting his top hat run over by a horse and carriage. And Tiny Tim should not be left alone with birds.

Welcome back to Lesson 15! We're closing out this lesson with the Avengers, who came back 25 years ago in a story that sees nearly everyone who's ever been an Avenger attacked, even D-Man! It's the start of an exciting new era for the Avengers comics, but If that's not enough to give this one a listen, stick around when we inexplicably start talking about Daniel Craig era Bond.

Welcome back to Lesson 15! Chapter 5 is Jose's movie pick, Dante's Peak, about a long-dormant volcano called Dante's Peak that suddenly erupts over the town of...Dante's Peak. That'll cost them the title of second best place to live (population under 20,000) for sure.

Welcome back to Lesson 15! Everything in this lesson involves 1997, the year this week's subject debuted their self-titled album. All Saints are an English girl group, and Jose kept this album in his car back in the day, even though John has no memory of it. But it's apparently UK's third-best selling girl group album of all time. Huh. John's still never heard any of these songs before. Not these versions, anyway.

Welcome to Lesson 14, which as all about Travel. We kick things off with Jose's pick, the Season 4 Finale of King of the Hill. Originally airing on May 21, 2000, "Peggy's Fan Fair" sees the Hill family travel to Nashville to see a bunch of celebrity County Music stars, most of whom John couldn't pick out of a lineup. But you don't need to know who Randy Travis is to enjoy watching him getting socked in the face.
