148 Pallavi Yetur & Erin Khar – Alone at the Top

This episode was recorded back in September 2019, when Kat was joined on location by our NYC co-host, writer and mental health professional Pallavi Yetur. We were very excited to interview 90210 superfan, author Erin Khar, whose memoir Strung Out: One Last Hit and Other Lies That Nearly Killed Me, debuted recently to great acclaim. Check out her Ravishly advice column “Ask Erin,” and the article that first brought her to our attention: “I Learned Everything About Relationships From Watching Beverly Hills, 90210.”

Lizzie & Kat Social Distance

We’re back for a topical check-in before resuming our regularly-scheduled episodes as we recap the rest of Beverly Hills, 90210 season five! The world has entered into the confusing new reality of a global pandemic, and we’re catching up from our respective homes as we hypothesize about how the original series might have tackled a very special topic such as Coronavirus, and what it would mean for our favorite characters. Then, we run through the latest updates from the 90210 cast members as they’re adjusting to life in quarantine.

We’re excited to bring you some levity in this strange time, and want to be clear that a bit of tabloid gossip and joking doesn’t detract from the seriousness of this situation. We’re incredibly grateful to our listeners who work at medical facilities, grocery stores, in food delivery or public transit, first responders, and all who are keeping society running at a risky time. We’ll continue to follow all of the recommended best practices for containing the spread of this virus, and urge our listeners to do the same!

Discussed in this episode:

  • Friend-Of-The-Show Mickey Keating’s dispatch from the live premiere of Corey Feldman’s documentary exposé The Rape of Two Coreys

  • Ian Ziering’s #motoquest

  • The latest episode of the With Brian Austin Green podcast, and BAG & Megan Fox’s outing as covered by the Daily Mail

  • Gabrielle Carteris’ statement as President of SAG-AFTRA

  • Jennie Garth’s lovely words on Instagram

  • Jason Priestley accepting the challenge set out by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for famous Canadians to encourage their fans to help #flattenthecurve

  • Shannen Doherty’s serious words as an immunocompromised individual

  • Tori Spelling’s troubles finding enough toilet paper for seven butts, and her defense of her daughter’s costume/character of “McQuisha”

Lizzie & Kat Celebrate Dads

,

We’re checking in with an update since we announced our brief mid-season hiatus a few weeks back. Kat’s dad passed away, and she has been so touched by everyone’s messages of support and sympathy. Lizzie and Kat take the opportunity to share some memories of Phil’s support of the podcast and related 90210 concerns (mostly Ian Ziering), read his “IMDb bio,” and thank our listeners for the patience until new episodes of the podcast are back. We also bring you some updates from “90210 in the news,” and re-run our interview with one of the series’ most iconic dads, Matthew Laurance!

In memory of Kat’s dad, her family welcomes donations to the Malala Fund.

Discussed in this episode are Kat’s reviews of the Best Picture Oscar nominees (addendum), and:

143 Pallavi Yetur & Shelly Myers – Hazardous to Your Health

Kat and East Coast co-host Pallavi Yetur were joined by Patreon supporter Shelly Myers and her husband Loggins to break down Beverly Hills, 90210 season 5, episode 18 “Hazardous to Your Health.” Sadly, their cat Brandon Walsh (“In temperament, he’s really more of a Steve Sanders.”) couldn’t be there. While Val and Dylan have a Mexican caper, Kelly and Brandon’s future is in the balance (depending on whether or not Professor Finley can be tenured). Discussed in this episode: hacking on-screen in the “Dilemma” music video, Swordfish, and NCIS. Click here to listen to Pallavi’s previous episodes of The Blaze!
