Back Through The Basement Episode 40 (Special Edition) - Neville the Mouse and the Dollhouse
Manage episode 333584893 series 3368712
Episode 40 is all wrapped up in "forty"ness. After “bangin’ a u-ey” into a new Basement area, Julee surprises Tom with a toy of Herculean childhood importance which the two just happened to receive FORTY years ago for Christmas: their cherished Dollhouse! (You know: the one behind Julee in the podcast logo illustration!) With some Game Book help, cutaways to vintage audio from Christmas morning 1981 and by probing each other’s memories, Tom and Julee can begin to reconstruct the intricate lore surrounding the Dollhouse and the family and myriad characters who lived and visited there. Julee tells Tom about an unwelcome guest who surreptitiously took up residence in the Dollhouse since it was last played with and, truth be told -- though they do delve deep -- they really only scratch the surface. You can be sure Season 4’s premiere will return to this beloved toy. We invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy this Special Edition, our Season 3 finale, and to join us for Season 4 (with every-other-week episodes) when we resume June 7, 2021.
Now in their forties, Julee and Tom Antonellis are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States. While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood. Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can.
As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents’ basement. Oh boy!
