My So-Cast Life: Episode 12 – Self-Esteem
In today’s gobsmacking episode, NOT ONLY do we talk about that episode where Angela and Jordan were making out in the boiler room, I also read my diary entry from the day I saw STAR TREK: GENERATIONS. Hilar.

My So-Cast Life: Episode 11 – Life of Brian
We’re back! After a somewhat-longer-than-expected hiatus, we toss out a somewhat-longer-than-expected episode, because “Life of Brian” is just that interesting. It’s the first MSCL to give the v/o to someone other than Angela, and it turns out the things going on in Brian’s head are just as weird, if not weirder. Plus, new diary entries…

My So-Cast Life – Other People’s Mothers
Magic realism continues to be a thing on the recent episodes of My So-Called Life, as Angela takes a spiritual mind-walk into the world of tarot cards by way of Rayanne’s absolutely appalling mother, Amber Vallon. Plus, Patty’s mom shows up – and Patty, officially, becomes awesome.

My So-Cast Life – Hallowe’en
Isn’t Hallowe’en, like, the best holiday? Angela thinks so, and so do we, as the opportunity to become someone else proves irresistible for several members of the My So-Called Life squad – including, just maybe, a g-g-g-g-g-g-ghost!!

My So-Cast Life – Strangers In The House
The grim spectre of death ties everything together for our heroes as Sharon’s dad goes to the hospital, forcing Angela and Sharon to confront their “thing,” and Patty and Graham to confront their “thing.” Plus: who’s using Brian Krakow this week? Matt and Kat discuss!

My So-Cast Life – Why Jordan Can’t Read
He calls her Red… but who the hell is “her?” It’s a nosedive straight back into My So-Called Life‘s favourite topic – Angela’s pathological fixation with Jordan Catalano – in the one where notes are passed, songs are sung, and Jordan can’t read. Oh, the angst! Plus, as usual, hilarious diary entries from 1994 from…

My So-Cast Life – The Substitute
A real deep-dive this week, as we tackle my favourite episode of My So-Called Life, “The Substitute” – including a very special not-quite-a-diary entry, and many rhapsodic talkings with respect to my high school English teacher, who definitely would not have approved of my use of the word “talkings” just now.

My So-Cast Life – The Zit
So Sharon’s life is, like, developing, and so are her boobs, and so is a big gross zit on Angela’s chin, and so is Patty’s need to bond with her daughter through ill-advised beauty contests. It’s a mess! Let’s all try to feel like we might be beautiful as we re-watch the fifth episode of…

My So-Cast Life – Father Figures
What do the IRS, banana cream pie, the Grateful Dead and the way we feel about our fathers have in common? Easy: it’s the fourth episode of My So-Called Life, where we go deep on Angela’s relationship with Graham in the wake of the potential extra-marital affair, AND Patty’s relationship with her own father, as…

My So-Cast Life – Guns and Gossip
My So-Cast Life is back and it’s better than ever! Meh, actually, I don’t know if that’s true because I basically think every single episode is excellent. This week it’s “Guns and Gossip,” the episode where Rickie really comes into his own. Important shit this time out. SPLAT! We’d hate to be that soda can. Sweetly…
