• Crisis in the Addams Family S1:E24
    Sep 18 2025

    Once again, Fester's cannon has wrecked the plumbing. The Henson Insurance Agency is outraged by yet another in a series of payouts on the Addams policy. However, a clause in the small print enables them to finally cancel it. Fester's allowance is subsequently suspended, so he decides to get a job. He scares the insurance man at Henson Insurance into giving him a salesman job. Fester becomes depressed when he cannot sell a policy to anyone. Gomez tries to teach Fester how to make a sale and winds up buying a policy from him. That has the head of the company storming his way to the Addams house to wheedle out of it. It turns out Gomez has a controlling interest in the company.

    Fivel and JohnPaul also chat deeply about the issue of insurance, TV tropes, Mario Bros., Movie Magic, Batman 66, Snick, Nick at Nite, Stephen King movies, and much more!

    Sep 3 2025

    An accident with his new set of old Indian clubs gives Gomez amnesia and a complete shift in personality. It, unfortunately, coincides with the new million dollar double indemnity insurance policy he's just drawn up to benefit Morticia. This causes Gomez, aghast at his macabre home and family, to think his life's in jeopardy. A second blow on the head might return him to normal. Unfortunately for Gomez there are plenty of clubs with just as many loving family members skulking about, hoping to restore his sanity.
