Rent-a-Pop, or the Mystery of Zack's Three Dads (Deep Dive)

We’re breaking down one of the most chaotic episodes in Bayside history: "Rent-a-Pop." In this deep dive, we address the "Interstate Plot Holes" regarding Zack’s ever-changing father, the introduction of the legendary James the Actor, and the bizarre logic of a high school carnival run by kids who are "bad at business." We’re clearing the air on the "Vanishing Bedroom Stairs" mystery, identifying the real-life Leprechaun movie connection, and analyzing the physics of a speeded-up "Guess the Cup" game. Plus, we look at the "Old Bayside" dream sequence and why Screech thought holding a sub sandwich in a bathroom was a good idea!
