  • Glee's Very Special Emmy Bait

    Glee is gunning for those Emmy nominations by going deep with religion and giving Burt Hummel a Very Bad Day.

    This is S2E3, "Grilled Cheesus." Finn sees Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich, Kurt gets shit on for having different beliefs than the rest of the Glee Club, and Sue Sylvester is a damn good sister. Did this discussion of religion and faith ring true for you? Or did it hit a hollow note?
    This episode ranks a paltry .5 on the Kevin Scale.

  • It's Glee Against the Music

    It's Brittany S. Pierce, bitch.  That's right, it's the (first) highly anticipated Britney Spears tribute episode!  At least Glee wanted it to be highly anticipated.

    We're talking S2E2, "Britney/Brittany."  Was it all killer, no filler?  Or all filler, no killer?  You'll have to listen to find out what we thought.  We also meet Emma's new beau, Carl, the hunky dentist, and newbie Sam is nowhere to be seen.
    The episode ranks a whopping 2.5 Kevins on the Kevin Scale.  He got a whole song, y'all!

  • Glee's Big Gay Summer

    Glee returns with Season 2 and so do we. Welcome back. We're talking S2E1, "Audition." Matt Rutherford has flown the coop and the Glee Club is in search of hot new recruits, unless you're Rachel and those new recruits have a killer voice. Also new to the mix is Shannon Beiste, McKinley High's new football coach, and brand new target for Sue and Schue's grade-school bullying. Basically there's some new stuff happening. We'll tell you what we think of it.

    Season 2 kicks off the Kevin Scale with a not-too-shabby 1.5 Kevins.

  • We Did It, Kids!

    We finally did it!  We're finally at the end of season one of Glee!

    That's right, we're talking S1E22, "Journey to Regionals."  All of the New Directions' hard work has paid off as they dance and sing their hearts out and...come in third! #thirdornothing  At least they tried, right?  Quinn gives birth and Finn and Rachel are officially a thing.  We think.
    When we come back we'll be starting Season 2, and you know what that means...
    Also, more importantly, the US Midterm Elections are coming on November 9th.  Vote or Die, y'all.

  • Burn Down the Patriarchy

    Wow it's been a week hasn't it?  Dang.  Yeah.  So let's all sit back, pour a drink (or nine), and spend half an hour trying to forget about the garbage fire we all just witnessed with a little bit of Glee.

    Today we're talking S1E21, "Funk."  We're gonna be honest, we didn't love this one.  A lot happened and nothing happened.  Quinn found some funky soul and Vocal Adrenaline found their weakness.  And we found the canon moment where Kurt speaks French.  Allons-y!
    This episode rates a paltry .25 on the Kevin Scale.

  • Rah rah ah-ah-ah!

    Holy sh-- y'all, we're back! Yes, we know it's been a while.  But absence makes the earholes grow fonder, right?

    Anyway, we're back with S1E20, "Theatricality." The Glee Club takes time out of preparing for Regionals by singing a couple Lady Gaga songs and sewing themselves some damn fine costumes.  But more importantly, we talk about that pesky rumor that just won't die - the Glee reboot/reunion.  Oh yeah.
    Also, we ah, also forgot to rate this episode on the Kevin Scale so...rate it yourself! And let us know how you scored it.

  • We Believe We Can Make It Through This Episode

    A former classmate returns to McKinley High and highlights Mr. Schuester's dissatisfaction with his life and career...Does this sound familiar? It should. 

    Today we're discussing S1E19, "Dream On." Neil Patrick Harris joins as Bryan Ryan (Brian Rian?) in an episode crowded with guest stars and Glee reuses a couple songs and plotlines.  Again.
    This episode rates a full 4.5 Kevins. That's right. We're counting it as a solid 4 Kevins with a .5 bonus bump for total screen time.

  • Kurt Hummel’s Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre

    Okay, we know we're a little late getting this episode up. It happens. But here it is!

    Today we're talking S1E18, "Laryngitis." That's right, Rachel loses her voice. Or the Glee Club does? Someone does. Thematically, anyway. Also, we've got one of the bigger questions we've ever asked on this podcast...Kurt speaking French: Fandom or Canon? Talk it out.
    This episode pulls in an incredible .2 Kevins.

  • Let's Get Physical

    Someone on the Internet once called this episode a "return to form" for Glee.  We spend an hour refuting that statement.

    Today we're talking S1E17, "Bad Reputation."  Someone's published a list ranking the Glee Club and we take a long detour into Brittany's characterization (or lack thereof).  Also, "Run Joey Run" happens.  So there's that.
    This episode rates a whopping one and a half on the Kevin Quotient.

  • Who is Carole Hudson?

    Pull a stool up the bar, get into your pjs, settle into that hour-long commute...wherever you feel most at home, it's time for Glee. (Did you see what we did there?)

    On today's episode we're discussing S1E16, "Home." April Rhodes is back to help out the Glee club, Sue goes after Mercedes, and Quinn shows some compassion.  But most importantly we cover the most pressing issue of the entire show: just who is Carole Hudson?
    This episode rates half a Kevin...just for the cake costume. The cake costume saved him.
