SLIDERS Retro REVIEW #37 | Episode 3x15 | "Paradise Lost" (w/FMOFM)

Retro Review #37: “Tremors in the Multiverse” with the Florida Men (and Canadian Man) Florida Men on Florida Man (FMOFM) Episode 371 FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT is back with another retro review of the 90s sci-fi series SLIDERS. This time, we’re taking a look at Season 3, Episode 15, “Paradise Lost” (original airdate: January 31, 1997 on Fox). The Sliders arrive in a small community, where the citizens are all young and fearful of outsiders. They don’t expect much trouble, until they uncover a deadly secret. This episode was written by Steven Stoliar and directed by Jim Johnston. In this special crossover episode, FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT co-hosts Damon Sugameli & Mike Bloxam have collaborated with FLORIDA MEN ON FLORIDA MAN co-hosts Wayne McCarty & (for the first time) Josh Mills! First, Damon gives a quick crash-course on the series to bring newcomer Josh up-to-speed on the train wreck he watched. After that, the three Florida men (and one Canadian man) dive deep into what is quite possibly the worst piece of hot garbage episodic television they’ve ever experienced. And that’s saying something considering what’s still to come! Let’s be honest: any episode that has an entire population ceremoniously (or unceremoniously) eating literal crap from a giant mutant worm in order to stay young is gonna be—well…crap. Damon isn’t even editing out the foul language on this one, so heed the explicit warning…this is terrible. Sliders has fallen off the cliff faster than a Mount Dora reference! Let the roasting commence! The audio version of this episode is already available on the FMOFM feed (with their own intro and outro) on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... And on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ZC8... Next up (in production order): “The Last of Eden,” with returning guest Stacie Wilcox.
