Star Time #172: Barnabas Collins - Love Bandit
This week's episode is awash in novelties like gothic soap opera vampires (Fig. 1), prostitution rehabilitators, Boston monkeys, one group under two different names, and a higher-than-usual number of ampersands. It's also the final episode produced with Macbook Pro No. 2 (2018-2020), the departure of which we'll address next week with a gut-busting opening bit.
