  1. 97A Timberly Loves Arnold/97B Eugene, Eugene!

    97A Timberly Loves Arnold/97B Eugene, Eugene!

    Arnold has to face his on-again off-again crush on Lila once and for all when he starts getting attention from an unexpected source: Gerald’s little sister! “Timberly Loves Arnold” is a bit all over the place (didn’t we close the book on #LilArnold? Why’s Gerald so absent? Why’s Sid gotta be so creepy?), but it does get the Kidz a bit nostalgic for the social awkwardness of childhood crushes and sibling tag-alongs. Timberly’s good people. “Eugene, Eugene!” dramatizes the relationships among the kids of P.S. 118 when theater director (and Mr. Simmons’s archrival) Mr. Leichliter brings a production of the titular stage play to the school. Spurned by a former love, Leichliter changes the ending of the play so the bad guy (Arnold) gets the girl (Lila) – and long-suffering Eugene won’t stand for it. In our discussion, we talk about the framing of narratives as school play, how inconsequential Helga is, and how cool Tim Curry is.

  2. 96 Married (with Seth Zarate)

    96 Married (with Seth Zarate)

    Seth’s back on the stoop and he’s got COOTIES in this very special episode of Stoop Kidz! Rhonda’s origami game predicts each kid’s perfect matrimonial pair in “Married”. That’s right – she knows exactly who’s gonna tie the knot with whom, somewhere down the line: Peapod Kid and Nadine; Sheena and Eugene; Arnold and Helga… wait, WHAT??? The rest of the episode plays out in opposing dream sequences: Helga’s vision of her perfect married life and Arnold’s depressingly dour subconscious. But even more interesting than the things we get to see (the kids of PS 118 “all growed up”) is what their dreams say about the feelings football-headed boy and his pining potential paramour: The kinds of things they can admit to themselves, how they confront their deeply held insecurities, and “Married” as a microcosm for the show’s central conflict.

  3. 94A Phoebe's Little Problem/94B Grandpa's Packard (with Allegra Frank)

    94A Phoebe's Little Problem/94B Grandpa's Packard (with Allegra Frank)

    Allegra gets back in front of the mic and DOESN’T embarrass herself on this episode of Stoop Kidz! Phoebe, however, DOES embarrass herself when her nervous flatulence gets picked up on mic in front of a large audience. (Podcast editor’s note: That’s one heck of a microphone.) Can Arnold help Grandpa get back his precious Packard after it’s pilfered by some punk playing at payback? Can the automobile’s many quirks help the duo prove it was stolen? How many Dashiell Hammett references can they stuff in an episode of Hey Arnold!? These questions and more in “Grandpa’s Packard”!
