Throw on your best long-sleeved shirt and dress combo and crank that Avril Lavigne, as They Called This a Movie travels all the way back to 2008 and the days of ABC Family Channel. With Dan on vacation this week, Mark and Anthony decide to take the opportunity to watch one of their favorite terrible television shows: The Secret Life of the American Teenager. 

Join us as they discuss the pilot episode and the series as a whole, as they talk about the awful main character, the show's obsession with sex, and Ernie Hudson. They also discuss the podcast's newly-launched Patreon page and discuss what the plans are for the future.

The Patreon page is now live and you can check it out at Patreon.com/TCTAMPod.

Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa. He can be found on Instagram @dkat_productions.
