February 1989 Pop Culture: DeLuise, Milano & LeBlanc

Start listening

While the reviews and What Now items educate us about peace signs and future druid Julian Cope, it’s two real Italians and a fake one who get the most attention. Peter DeLuise returns in a What Now blurb about a bad Valentine’s Day; Alyssa Milano succeeds in convincing Catherine that she is not “stupid” (that’s Catherine’s word, not ours!); and One To Watch notches another win with future Friends star Matt LeBlanc back when he was only associated with Fruitful Bran. Don’t watch Twins — or do; we couldn’t reach consensus — and join us for our February 1989 pop culture episode!
