A #podcast about the high-concept, experimental, structure-breaking GIMMICK episodes of TV, hosted by @DerekBGayle.bsky.social and @dmuma.bsky.social

Coming up this November!

We're (finally) tackling Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and then talk the series finale of Pee-wee's Playhouse! And as a bonus, we go full circle on the time David Letterman rotated the cameras on Late Night.

Find the pod at gimmickspodcast.com!
Come on in, and pull yourself up a chair (Like Chairry!) @kevshindig.bsky.social joins us to talk about the alt-comedy and punk roots of the hugely popular (and very queer) Pee-wee's Playhouse, and the melancholy Pee-wee-light clip show goodbye for its series finale.

Listening to the Late Show @gimmickspod.bsky.social episode and Tom Snyder was brought up. So, I immediately think of this gem with KISS. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley try to come off as “serious” musicians, Peter is just there, but Ace shows up drunk. A classic.

When the TV sequel to Terminator 2 has a climactic face-off with a cyborg Big Bad, it does so in style -- following our disparate ensemble of heroes from different perspectives until they come together in Mexico!

Bonus episode! We're talking about late night and all of its recent metaphorical tumbling and compare that to a literal flip when LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN rotated the image 360 degrees over a whole episode.

Thank you @dmuma.bsky.social for putting this episode together and so succinctly walking through the history of Late Night, a thing I never thought we'd cover on Gimmicks but made perfect sense!

Fantastic @gimmickspod.bsky.social episode on the superb "Go Flip Yourself" (What We Do In The Shadows). Loved the deep dive into US reality TV history as well. Also loved the bonus ep - I need to see the alternate hypnosis scenes!

Woke up to like… 6 or 7 new albums being dropped at once.
Feeling very much like Sabrina and the pancakes episode that was covered on @gimmickspod.bsky.social. At least these albums aren’t thinly-veiled drug metaphors to get money from the government! Hopefully!

I got to the part with the ripped audio from the ad. I vaguely miss the days of Nickleback over the "Next Time" previews on a 2000s series.

HAPPY GODZILLA DAY! And what better way to celebrate than getting on Skreeonk's own @derekbgayle.bsky.social chatting about the kaiju-themed BOWSER'S FURY!

We talk Bowser's hotness level, if anything can be too cat-themed, and the future of 3d Mario.

Still one of my favorite episodes we've ever done of @gimmickspod.bsky.social and one I'd wanted to do since starting the podcast!
SO WEIRD, "Encore"

On the trend of ghosts and grief, we tackled one of the best clip shows and concert episodes of all time -- and a spooky one at that -- with this haunting gem!
