Gleekast

You

might have come here to hear Erica and Emily discuss The Spanish

Teacher. You will kinda sorta maybe get that, but more importantly,

listen! as the ladies tackle the life lessons of Sexting In Suburbia,

why teenage girls are obsessed with being abused, how to properly

pronounce “Adelphi,” how Emily learned the other definition of ‘taint,’

and fat jokes. Lots and lots of fat jokes. What else are we supposed to

do when Glee makes them so easy? At least Ricky Martin is aging well.

Michael

Shmichael, what we REALLY want to argue about is the hot factor of

Smash’s Jack Davenport (sans powdered wig). Or Sexting In Suburbia. Or

Emily’s drunken karaoke party and what Erica might have sang. Or Kurt

and Burt’s future rendition of Pimp My Ride. What we’re trying to say is

that this wasn’t our favorite episode. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t

find plenty to say about it, from the unintentional comedy of Quinn’s

Yale acceptance to more fat jokes about Shane. But Blaine did look

adorable in that eyepatch. It’s the little things that count. Send us

your thoughts, be they hearty head nodding, disagreeing head shaking, or

your opinion on the attractiveness of Commodore Norrington

post-Commodore ranking to [email protected] or come hang out on our forums over at palavr.com. Cause that’s what Michael would do, and um, that’s really all you need to know when doing anything ever.

Somewhere

between My Girl impersonations and engagement ring critiques, Erica and

Emily dive swim cap-first into the non-peed-in pool that was Yes/No, an

episode that tore us apart like a cheese steak being eaten by Shane.

Look, we wouldn’t make fat jokes if Glee didn’t seem so hateful of fat

people, what with their ban on allowing Mercedes to don a swimsuit.

Unless it’s a black thing, at which point we’re even MORE offended.

Anyway, it’s a dramatic episode from every direction and we haven’t even

begun to discuss its depiction of the military. Listen hard and let us

know your thoughts at [email protected] or on our forums at palavr.com.

We want to hear your theories on McKinley’s pool policy, Will’s lame

bachelor party in the making, and why exactly is I’m With Shane the new

law of the land. 

Ho

ho holiday special! Erica and Emily act as the ghosts of Christmas past

to bring you belated coverage of An Extraordinary Merry Christmas, aka

The Episode That Divided The House of GleeKast. Listen as Erica

justifies Artie’s Lucasian vision and Rory’s bedtime story, while Emily

huffs and puffs in a respectful manner. The stakes are raised in debate,

but thankfully soothed by the promise of Yankee Candle’s My Favorite

Things limited edition scents, all described in tempting sniffs by

Erica’s nose. We’ll be back with timely (maybe) episodes now that the

hiatus is over, so keep the emails coming to [email protected] or discuss away at our palavr.com forums.

Most importantly, don’t forget to check out the sure to be outstanding

Lifetime Original Sexting In Suburbia, airing Saturday the 14th. We have no idea why, but it just sounds amazing.

This

episode of GleeKast is brought to you by The Plague. The Plague:

keeping civilization from reaching its potential since civilization was

born. In other news, a dying Emily and a recovering from dying Erica

team up to bring you coverage on Hold On To 16, aka the episode that

involves Sectionals, meerkat faces, contrived Asian arcs, and Quinn

getting lectured. A lot. We leave you with the question of what the

world needs now: doctors or dancers? Since Emily is dying, she says

doctors, but that's beside the point. Send feedback to [email protected] and party on the Palavr.com boards, plague-free since 2010.

Clawing

their way back from the grave, Erica and Emily return with the help of

special guest star Fozziebare of The Podcast Podcast to discuss I Kissed

A GiIrl And I Liked It, which we kinda liked to varying degrees. We

also catch up on ancient feedback (like fine wine or Dennis Quaid, it

gets better with age), delve into Community's gleeful hopefully

not-finale, and argue about the merits/drawbacks of half-sweaters and

abuelitas. OBVIOUSLY, we dedicate this episode to Dolly Parton and the

sure-to-be-the-greatest-movie-since-Burlesque, Joyful Noise. We still

have 2 more episodes to cover before Glee returns, so feel free to send

any and all past-due feedback to[email protected] or visit our forums at palavr.com.

Don't forget to learn more about our favorite nudist muppet Fozzie over atwww.thepodcastpodcast.com or read his hilarity at iwanttoworkfortheonion.tumblr.com OR join his Twitter legion @fozziebare. Check out our Aussie feedbacker Nigel's new podcast atwww.talkmovies.net and enjoy the wisdom of one Wayne Kotke at www.d2rights.blogspot.com. Happy New Year everyone and remember, joyful...joyful noise.

You

think YOU’RE angry that GleeKast has been on hiatus? Well apparently

the Internet is PISSED OFF which explains why Erica’s wireless

connection launched an all-out war on this episode, a war in which

Emily’s cats soon became its evil allies. But elsewhere, the ladies

discuss Mash/Off and try to not remember the fact that we’ve all already

seen the episode that came after it. It was stressful. The English

language was abused and Erica said the C word first, while Emily

revealed her college acceptance may have been tainted. We had to end

early due to the Internet acting like an asshole, so we saved some

feedback for the next episode (hearts and thanks and sorries Nigel &

Terri-Anne!) which will hopefully not happen 7 years from now. Remember

to visit us and others at palavr.com, especially in this interim where time hates us. Send your feedback (which we’ll read promptly!) to [email protected] and follow us on Twitter to become a better person (@ericasKNITS and @deadlydolls).

GleeKast

goes back to the bottle with a very wine sponsored episode, wherein

Erica and Emily sit down face to face to ramble through First Time, aka

the episode where virgins are sacrificed in the name of good high school

musical theater and Puerto Rican accents are slaughtered in the name of

awesome. Expect lots of mooing over Blaine's adorable dancing, hmming

over Tina's Brady dressing, and cursing over Sebastian's evil cunting.

Then have more wine, cause it's really great. Email us your thoughts (or

wine) at [email protected] and party at our forums over at palavr.com. It's BYOW of course, and if you're nervous, I hear Hawaii makes some really great fake IDs. Aloha!

Pour

yourself a sweet bowl of all-marshmallow Lucky Charms for the

triumphant (again) return of GleeKast (again)! Erica and Emily dust off

their gold shoe buckles for Pot O' Gold, discussing such hard-hitting

subjects as Puck's abs, Tina's Marcia Brady wardrobe, and the mechanics

of special education. Along the way, the ladies dabble in more current

topics that include Erica's fantasy football troubles and Emily's leaky

shower. We hope the sound is a little cleaner this week thanks to a

donated microphone from the magnanimous Fozzie Bare of the Podcast

Podcast. In fact, the mike is so magic that it picks up some extra

happenings in Emily's apartment, including power drilling and the

ubiquitous blasts of tunes from next door. As always, send your feedback

to[email protected] or party on the forums at palavr.com. And if you think you're too good for either of those things, expect to have your face eaten off by a leprechaun. Tata!

Tangent? Whoever heard of a tangent? Certainly not GleeKast, who brings you disciplined coverage of Asian F...until their Special Guest Star Gwyneth Pal--er, Slug shows up and chaos reigns with more furor than a Von Trier flick. The trio discuss everything from The Karate Kid Part III to Will Shuester’s taste in porn. Then Emily discovers she has the ability to wishmaster stuff and gets really distracted. So distracted that her irresponsible wishmastering leads to technical difficulties that threaten a good 90 minutes of group rambling. Three days later, the trio reunites in SkypeLand to finish off defining tiger moms and debating the healthiness of Mercedes’ relationship with her in no way healthy boyfriend/Snuffalufagus/forum/Durden. Trust us, it will all make sense two hours from now. In the meantime, there’s the link Ashlee sent us from someone who hates Glee:

http://nerdgasmnoire.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/why-is-glee-so-addicted-to-failure/ and you should share your thoughts on it at palavr.com. There’s the videotorial shared with us by Wayne here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p72UqyVPj54 in which a chick declares war on Beyonce. And most touchingly (and educationally), here’s the superior cover of Fix You from Young@Heart, complete with Spanish subtitles because Emily wishmastered it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_n0zvoHlVk

We’ll be on a brief hiatus along with Glee, but keep your ears out for a Very Special And Long Ago Teased commentary episode and stay in touch at [email protected] and the palavr.com forums. Also check out

Slug over at the Slugcast, which you can find right on yonder: http://www.slugcast.com/ Just don’t throw salt on it because that’s cruel and gross. Sickos. Keep up that attitude and we’ll wishmaster you all the way back to The Season That Didn’t Happen. Remember: you don’t even know what we’re talking about.
