5x03: Time to Be Your Own Quarterback (ft. Emily!)

The whole team is gathered here today to once again discuss the passing of Cory Monteith, and by extension Finn Hudson. But we're doing it through the medium of a glee recap podcast so naturally we're also gonna discuss Acafellas royalties, a valid assault, and pulling a Gone Girl. This is a show about contrasts, y'all.

Emily is our editor and she's the only reason this show coheres. You can find her @pand.bsky.social!

5x02: The Gleetles pt 2 - Business-Casual Hippies

For the benefit of our listeners, there's another Glee tribute episode! On trampolines! But instead of diving too deep into the band's experimental era, the episode is just kinda jumping from song to song. It's terrible to Tina and also to every bisexual, and Will is definitely an anti-vaxxer now, but at least we figured out how to make the club strive for greatness and what Sam's position is in the bedroom.

5x01: The Gleatles pt 1 - Uno Reverse Carding a Musical Number

The fifth season of Glee needed to start off with a bang before dealing with Cory's passing, so they sang the Beatles. Tanner and Christina are right there to sing along with it, as well as determine the de facto makeout classroom, debate if we know what Jesus said, and remind ourselves that we live in a post-glee world.

BONUS: Competitive Defenestration

Christina started a bit at the beginning of this season, and now that alien Christmas ornament has finally come home to roost. We watched DA PUMAMAN, and we didn't even have our own personal forcefields to protect us. Ah well, it's just a movie - we should really just relax.

BONUS: No Crossovers, Banned (Season 4 Q&A)

Season 4 kinda spoke for itself, in the sense that it's a fever dream that drove us up the wall in harrowing-yet-understandable ways. As such, we don't have very many Qs to A in this episode, but we did manage to stretch them out into an hour's worth of audio...most of which is fantasy booking a Digimon crossover. But what are you gonna do? We have a brand, or something.

4x22: The McKinley Black Hole

It's the end of season 4! Somehow, Joe and Sugar have returned. Tanner and Christina determine if the finale can put an adequate button on a season of wheel-spinning, while also observing body-roll enrichment, vibes-based choreography, and Pope Popplio I the PokePope.

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.

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.
