08/26/20 • 100 min

Welcome back, friends! This week, Jenn's favorite recurring guest (and the person who introduced her to Community in the first place) is back alongside Chels to discuss one of the show's best episodes: "Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design"! Jenn and Jaime reminisce about why they missed the episode live, talk about the Jeff/Annie of it all, and praise the episode's tight writing. Enjoy!

Previous Episode

Chaos Corner: 2020 Emmy Nomination Reactions (#Ruthlessness)

It's time for a bonus episode about the 2020 Primetime Emmy nominations! And because Jenn and Chels like to stir up chaos, they're calling their bonus segments "Chaos Corner."
The two first talk about the lack of Emmy wins for Community and discuss which episodes they would have submitted for the actors and writers. Then they walk through their initial reactions to the 2020 nominees and try to pick who they think will win in each category. Stay until the end because Jenn and Chels give pretend Emmy speeches before they get played off.
Enjoy the bonus fun, everyone! And don't forget to support the U.S. Postal Service.
