It’s a touchdown! (That’s a sports term, right?)

This week, Jorge and Michael cheer from the sidelines as they discuss the surprisingly refreshing Super Bowl episode, “The Sue Sylvester Shuffle.” Can the football team and the New Directions sort out their irreconcilable differences via zombie halftime performance? Can Sue legally shoot a student out of a cannon? Will there every be a better Super Bowl episode than Grey’s Anatomy’s? How large was Lea Michele’s budget for the “Christmas in New York” video? Listen to get all your answers.

It’s time to gather some côuragé!

This week, we arrive to several pivotal points of the series as we discuss 2x06: “Never Been Kissed.” We are introduced to Blaine Anderson, the Dalton Academy Warblers, and a different side of Karofsky, while all the Glee club members continue to be horrible to Coach Beiste under Will’s supervision. We also talk about the impact of “Teenage Dream” and the most wonderful time of the year: whenever Lea has new music out.

It's Brittany, bitch!
This week, we welcome Britney Spears aficionado and pop culture savant Topher Gauk-Roger to discuss the second artist-centered episode in Glee, "Britney/ Brittany"! Did the New Directions pay proper respect to the Princess of Pop? The answer may be exactly what you expect! We also discuss our personal histories with Britney, and explicitly do NOT discuss Ryan Murphy's "A Chorus Line" Netflix adaptation.

Time to get out your prom dress and funeral outfits!

On the final stretch of season 2, the New Directions perform at two very distinct events Jorge and Michael dive into 2x20: “Prom Queen” and 2x21: “Funeral”. Kurt finds out that there are many ways to get bullied, Sue suffers a loss as her character suffers another retcon, and Quinn slaps Rachel. We also spend entirely too much time pondering Julie Bowen’s next career moves.

Time to polish the plexiglass dancefloor and warm up for some impossible vocal runs!
This week, the Glee club gets a double dosage of themed assignments as they boogie down the hallways in polyester suits in 3x16: "Saturday Night Glee-ver" and pay homage to one of the all-time greats in 3x17: "Dance with Somebody". Who has the vocal chops to give Whitney her due (*cough* Amber) and who falls short (*coughs* Heather and Chris)? Is Saturday Night Fever an effective tool against existential dread? And, for God's sake, when will Mr. Schue get adult friends?!

Time for some unresolved familial sexual tension!
This week, the eldest Anderson son visits McKinley High School, leaving basically no imprint on the plot of the show. In 3x15: "Big Brother", Matt Bomer drops in to spy on his younger brother at the gym, Coach Roz Washington steals yet another scene, and Quinn is on a wheelchair, but it's not a really big deal?
We also talk about Matt Bomer's extended role in the Murphyverse, Barb and Star Go to Vista del Mar, and our favorite moments of the past fifty episodes.

Merry belated Christmas and happy Sectionals!
This week we talk about two episodes who should be much stronger given its individual parts. In 3x08: "Hold on to Sixteen", the New Directions face off against the Trouble Tones, Quinn confronts Shelby, and Lindsay Pearce returns. And in 3x09: "Extraordinary Merry Christmas", the Glee club puts on a Christmas special with some of the strongest wit and out-of-the-box thinking the show has done thus far. But both episodes end up falling apart. Like Lea Michele's hair post-partum.
