November 1991 Pop Culture: Shemp, Jason Priestley & Special Guest Sarah D. Bunting

Start listening

The time has come to discuss cover boy Jason Priestley, then just a few months into Season 2 of Beverly Hills, 90210. And since we have access to an expert — Sarah D. Bunting, Tara’s co-host on the once-upon-a-timeBeverly Hills, 90210 podcastAgain With This (though we’ve since gone on to run out of those and move on to Melrose Place, Dawson’s Creek, and very soon Felicity) and co-writer of A Very Special 90210 Book. Before we get to Priestley REALLY straining to seem edgier to Christina than his squeaky-clean character Brandon Walsh, there is much to discuss: Gregorian chants, mood rings, Hard Courts, Barton Fink, and much much more. No need to exchange an egg: hop right in!
