4x21: You're Not Even Graduated Yet, Bestie

The end is...nigh? For season four? That can't be right, it feels like they only just started getting their act together - the finale is next episode?! But there's so little happening in this episode. Sure Mercedes is smoove, Kitty is smirking schemily, and fear is the mind killer, but when is that not happening? At least we get a brief glimpse into Artie's interiority.

4x20: The Kids Be On Their Phones

This week's episode of Glee has several discussions of child sexual abuse, and by extension so does our show. It's not graphic or incredibly in-depth, but it's still worth being aware just in case.

We're watching "Lights Out" this week, even though they really should've called the episode "Unplugged" considering how often they say it. Everyone's gotta learn how to get off the electronics and get back in touch with their emotions! Or maybe learn how to dance? Or maybe invent stomp. Not Tanner or Christina though, they just need to figure out how long American Idol was relevant.

The fanfic that Tanner mentioned in the episode can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12760281

4x19: Rehearse My Songs or Die (ft. Alice!)

This week we are joined by Alice to discuss "Sweet Dreams", an episode that we ended up liking thanks to most of the weird parts harkening to a season 1 level of ludicrosity (even if a handful of characters have quirky comedy PTSD). Finn is majoring in slip-n-slide, Rachel is wearing a suit of Barbra's skin, and Gay Blaine has a new Gay Nickname.

4x18: It's the Guns

Glee did a Very Special Episode so thoroughly that we had to do one too. This is season 4, episode 18 "Shooting Star", and it deals with a school shooting at the school. There was no way we could make any jokes about this one, so if you're willing please enjoy this short episode which is just our thoughts and criticisms against what this episode put out.

We've also got a Doc collecting various public criticisms towards the episode when it aired, as well as statistics and resources regarding gun violence in the US: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jAu9JJ57cEetefNf3CECnrQ0pOct4n0it8UPqC591EM/edit?usp=sharing.

4x17: No Ethical Consumption in Glee (ft. Ryan Mitchell)

Sometimes we bring guests on for a fun and then it turns out they have a fascinating insight on the contents of the glee of the hour. This is not that. This is Tanner and Ryan thinking of a single bit and then the latter being caught along for the ride as Christina tries to explain why this episode, in the grand scheme of things, isn't even that bad. Like, it's got a macaroni Kurt, maracas that probably aren't offensive, and Kitty being chased by a Vicky. It's great!

4x16: The Glee Equivalent of a Victorian Glove Slap

This week is a mess, but at least it's a brain-smoothing mess. It's time for a FEuD! Will's old son vs his new son! Logic vs Sue Sylvester! Kitty vs moral decency! And Tanner and Christina are just along for the ride, like the hardcore friends they are.

4x15: Yet Another Movie Reference (ft. Serge Bodnarchuk!)

It's time for an episode about movies, and who better to join us than certified movie guy Serge of Cold Crash Pics! He's truly harrowed by the end of this due to some weak mashups, terrible reasons for songs, and an utter lack of stakes. Also Kitty might be hiding in the air vents, who can say?

4x14: Reverse Shipping Charts (ft. Harley)

This episode we are joined by returning guest Harley to engage in some absolutely pamphetless behaviour. Somebody may or may not be getting married (maybe Gary?), no one has any game, but at least Quinn gets to have a Big Queer Freshman Year.

4x13: TINA NO (ft. Jenna)

True Divas never die, but this episode almost took us out. Some things stay the same (Rachel is insufferable, Will's home planet needing him), but some things are going off the rails (Rachel's weird naked boyfriend, Kurt winning over the sickos). And Poor Jenna from our Eidolon games is stuck in the middle of the cafeteria pit to watch it all unfold. It's Diva!

4x12: I'm Not Gonna Raichu a Love Song (ft. Lindsay Mitchell)

Let's talk about tits. EMOTIONAL tits. Lindsay's back to help us strip down these...hang on let's try again. There are teens and they are stripping, and unrelated, Lindsay is here to discuss what the hell is going on (so much). We also see the return of vocal masturbation, the reindeer sweater, and intricate male bonding rituals.
