Episode #212: Heaven on the 7th Floor


A '70s-themed episode, with one dalliance in the '60s, that rocks with all the grace of platform shoes on steel grating. Information sources include Schoolhouse Rock, multiple movie takes with Bootsy, an assault on the Mamaship, Sweet Charity, a surprisingly good funk cover of Little Richard, cars, police, elevator maintenance, and the growing realization that Sylvester may have been the real king of disco. C'mon and baptize.
