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.
