Why is Mr. Feeny a Car?! – S02E07 – MacGyver (1985) – S03E08 – The Widowmaker

On the second half of this season of Mr. Feeny, we’re checking out the BEST episodes of the series we’ve already seen, and this week we take a second look at MACGYVER’s “The Widowmaker”, and give Jim his second crack at MR. FEENY this season! This is the episode that cements Murdock as an arch-nemesis for Mac, and we love that for him. But we’re not sure there’s enough “MacGyvering” to be had in what’s supposed to be the top episode, and we, like his close friends, missed MacGyver’s smile. Of course when I say we, I meant the gen-xers on the podcast, because our resident millennial loved the darker, more somber take.

S01E07 – Left Behind

In this DLC (downloadable content for the non-gamers) episode we get a close look at Ellie’s past and her relationship with Riley.
