    In a year filled with sequels and big-budget spectacles, two unassuming, original romantic comedies came out - one with an iconic Peter Gabriel-filled boombox moment that was a box office fizzle but gained a following on home video, and the other a smash hit that spawned two sequels and a short-lived sitcom.

    35 years ago this month, actress Rebecca Schaeffer was on her way to superstardom, thanks not only to the acting credits she had already accumulated in her 21 years, but also to her excellent prospects with director Francis Ford Coppola. Unfortunately, she is now known more for the circumstances surrounding her tragic murder at the hands of an obsessed stalker than for her acting achievements. This carefully researched episode aims to keep her name and memory alive beyond the anti-stalking legislation that her death brought about. If you or anyone you know have been affected by crime, you can visit victimconnect.org for a weekday helpline for emotional support and your legal rights and options. You can also visit rainn.org for resources for survivors of stalking and cyberstalking, as well as numerous other resources. Rebecca’s story entails these very issues that may be triggers for some, so listener discretion is advised.

    "Dishes are done, man." The summer's here, and according to these two outrageously nonsensical comedies set in the sunny season, it's a time for pretending that asocial psychopaths who unexpectedly die are still alive and kicking - literally. Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman are the lunkheads keeping their boss Bernie moving, while Christina Applegate and Keith Coogan make use of a skateboard and trunk for their babysitter. Plus, behind-the-scenes fun facts, poll results, interactive trivia, and listener shout-outs! "I'm right on top of that, Rose!"
