The Ewing Barbecue Podcast
Gen Xers (and a Xennial!) who were too young to watch Dallas the first time (yet totally did!) rewatch the episodes, review, discuss, laugh and have semi-deep discussions about it. Warning: First season and a half has spoilers. If you‘re a first time watcher please be advised of this. If you don‘t want spoilers, please rejoin us in the middle of season 2 for a spoiler free and fun listening experience ;)

JR has some "insider trading" with Ewing Oil's investment in Asia. So, he gets a little sketch (like usual).
Cliff finds something interesting in Digger's old stuff.
Pam becomes obsessed with finding out info about her dead mother.
Jock and Miss Ellie visit Jock's first wife Amanda (cue "Amanda" by Boston") You'll have to play it mentally since we can't afford to pay for the rights to play it! LOL
JR rapes Kristin, and it's played as comedy. We have a lot of feelings about it.

Sue Ellen finally decides to leave JR for Dusty. It's going to be fine. Fine. FINE! Nothing bad could possibly happen.............
