Show Notes

Sam leaps into Kenny Sharp, AKA Future Boy, the sidekick of Captain Galaxy, the star of the St. Louis-based kids show, Time Patrol. Sam is there to save the life of Moe Stein, the actor who plays Captain Galaxy. In two days, he will day attempting to jump a freight train (yeah, we have issues with that), and the only way to save him may be to have him committed to a mental institution. But Moe has other plans – in his basement is what he claims to be a working time machine…and he plans to use it right past mistakes in his life.

Sam Fain and Dennis discuss the episode, its many nods to Back to the Future, the Bootstrap time travel trope, as well as their thoughts about how we regard mental illness and eccentricity.
