Gleekast

Somewhere between Oz (the prison show)

and Oz (the land that inspired many a bad Australian accent) lies this

week’s belated, but bodacious episode of GleeKast. The ladies delve

Manic Panic dyed headfirst into I Am Unicorn, pausing for exciting

gifts, boob job reversals, a decision about how to just ignore The Lost

Season, and lessons on musical theater. Also on hand: Emily teaches the

art of modern dance, which Erica apparently knew already. Diva. Share

your own ideas for dance moves over at palavr.com or email [email protected].

Just don’t do it while wearing tights. That doesn’t sit well with

football coaches, paraplegics, or those with psychological issues

regarding cleanliness.

Put

on your slinkiest dress and drape yourself over the most purple of all

pianos for the glitterific return of GleeKast! Oh yeah, and Glee. Erica

and Emily squeeze into their dusty Cheerio spanx to dance away with the

Purple Piano Project, aka the season 3 premiere of America's

favorite/least favorite musidramedy. It's a late night recording for the

gals, meaning loopiness ensues quickly, especially when we discuss such

odd trivia as Matthew Morrison's feud with Jonah Hill, Mike Chang's

gratuitous but appreciated abbarriffic dance move, and the shock of

seeing Heather Morris look bad on camera (see photo and agree). It

culminates with some excellent feedback discussion, of which you can

participate by emailing [email protected] or

just hang out on the forum board at Palavr.com. Get there soon if you

don't want to be glitter bombed. That stuff gets stuck everywhere.

Love is never ugly, or so the tagline reads for Alex Flinn's teen fairy tale novel and source for the first ever GleeKast/Podcast Podcast crossover book club. Emily read it. Erica read some of it. And Jason and George showed up to look pretty. It all comes together when we sit down for a running commentary on the 2011 film adaptation, a film so controversial, its release date was constantly pushed back until a time when the general public could accept the love between the vacant void of Vanessa Hudgens and a heavily tattooed bald dude with an erratic accent. Then the public decided it didn't care. Do we? Find out by listening along and share your thoughts/spells over at palavr.comor gleekast.com.

LISTENERS!

Bring us the axe!...Or just your ears as Erica and Emily sit down with

The Podcast Podcast's Fozziebare and his beloved and adorably

intelligent George for a viewing of 1981's Razzie Award winning,

career-killing classic, Mommie Dearest. The quartet of mildly

intoxicated watchers delve deep into the obsessive compulsive world of

one of Hollywood's most dramatic (and shoulder padded) queens and her

ungrateful poodlehead of a daughter. Sure, we chortle our way through

some of the film's campier moments, but there's also plenty to learn as

our commentary reveals we know more about one of John Waters' favorite

films than any sane person has any right to. Queue up your DVD and press

play when we say to for the bumpiest parenting ride of your life. It

may never be clean, but it will be always be special. Discuss on palavr.com or send your feedback (sans wire hangers, duh) to [email protected].

Fear not, loyal GleeKast listeners. Erica and Emily could only go so long without revisiting bedazzled microphones and jazz squares (seriously; the withdrawals are far worse than anything heroin users have to deal with). Hence, on this sunny summer Sunday, the ladies sit down to bring you a commentary track for the second hit in Disney's High School Musical saga. Erica gets distracted by the extreme weight loss of Raven Symone, while Emily gets lost in the orange orangeness that is orangely Zach Efron. Seriously, was the kid's mother's womb lined with pumpkin puree or something? It's weird. About as weird as Vanessa Hudgens is dull, Sharpay is wonderful, Ryan is underrated and Corbin Bleu's name is stupid. So queue up the film (now streaming on Netflix!) and press play when we tell you to. We'll be back at some point with some other form of episode this summer, but in the meantime, head over to Palavr for the virtual drink-with-tiny-umbrellas that is the message boards. Also, always make sure your friends like you, no matter how much personal sacrifice that entails. It worked for Troy, and that is all that really matters. That and being as orange as you can. Wildcats!

Welcome to Erica and Emily’s empire state of mind, a sunny universe filled with great pizza, watermelon beer, cat cuddles, and a little bit of talk about something or another called the second season finale of Glee. Presents are exchanged to shock and awe and the ladies tear into ‘New York’ like a bunch of Ohioans touring New York in bright primary colors. We close with our very own top 6 lists for our favorite musical performances of the year, plus an epic feedback session filled with lots of our listeners’ very own picks. Big fat heartfuls of thanks to all our listeners who have made our first full season of GleeKasting a true joy. Remember to stay in touch and up to

date on our upcoming bonus episodes by hanging out at the forums over at palavr.com or following us on Twitter (@ericasname and @deadlydolls). Keep the emails coming to [email protected] and should summer prove stressful, just get a haircut. Apparently that solves all sorts of problems!

Pop

open your finest bottle of fizzy lifting drinks for GleeKast's very

special coverage of Funeral, wherein innocent characters are sacrificed

to the gods of plot and rushed characterizations. We'd love to tell you

more about the episode, but even the slighting inkling in these show notes may

cause Erica to have terrifying flashbacks to a certain 1971 classic

children's film. It's intense. Almost as intense as John 'Dr. Car'l

Stamos playing a reproductive rapist on Law & Order: SVU. But tell

us just HOW intense by sending feedback to [email protected] or entering the candyland that is our forums over at palavr.com.

We'll be back in two weeks with our belated finale episode, where we

hope to hear your top 6 musical performances of season 2 because after

all, WE are the music makers and therefore WE are the dreamers of

dreams. So dream big.

The place: Indianapolis

The time: March 2011

The event: HorrorHound Weekend

The

reason I’m using so many colons: Erica and Emily bring you an impromptu

interview with Mr. Daniel Roebuck, a fine and versatile actor who plays

the part of Paul Karofsky, aka David (Larry)’s dad. Mr. Roebuck has a

long and diverse career in Hollywood between acting in films (River’s

Edge, The Fugitive, Rob Zombie’s Halloween(s) and oodles more)

television (Matlock, the angry Arzt in Lost, Star Trek, etc.), directing

(most notably the Monsterama series), and writing (articles on horror

movie and children’s books, natch). He’s even been preserved in

bobblehead form! We mostly kept our discussion Glee-based due to time

and tiredness, but we guarantee you’ve seen Mr. Roebuck elsewhere and

encourage our listeners to check out his facebook page (listed below)

and official website. He was incredibly gracious and kind, and it’s our

pleasure to share this interview your way. Also, HUGE thanks to our pal

Matt, aka Slug of the Slugcast podcast who helped arrange the meetup.

Check out Matt’s show at www.slugcast.net (or iTunes) for a good gooey time.

With

enough hairspray to blaze through the ozone and heels so high they

reach Corey Montheith’s nipples, Erica and Emily go to the prom,

McKinley High style. An extended GleeKap has the ladies digging deep

into Prom Queen, digging so deep in fact that Skype almost pulls a

Carrie White on them all. Thankfully, the Goddess of Fun Fun, Think

About Fun comes through to save the recording, allowing the gals to get

their robot on on the dance floor that is the feedback frenzy of

awesome. Join the awesome by sending your thoughts to [email protected] and visit the afterprom party at palavr.com.

It’s tastier than a bowl of lemon punch mix, prettier than a pair of

electric blue sheer sleeves and more fun than an awkward crowning

ceremony, it’s GleeKast!

More

important than any chintzy tiara, GleeKast closes out the prom with a

wonderful musical treatment courtesy of our dear listener Rainicorn, aka

Anna of London of the fine and fascinating blog, www.gaychristiangeek.blogspot.com. Thanks oodles for the tunes!

There’s

a rumour going around that Erica and Emily have some form of influence

over the Glee triumvirate and its decisions in acknowledging GleeKast’s

criticisms of season 2. Or maybe we’re just making that up which makes

it maybe true or something. What matters more is that the ladies tackle

episode 2.19, Rumours (sic) with a slight Friday night loopiness.

Tangents abound as Erica opens up her birthday gifts and proceeds to

explain her deep-seated hatred of Something Borrowed, while Emily

reveals a shocking fact about her family’s emotional connection to

JarJar Binks. Oh yeah, and they also talk about Glee. For more glee-ful

discussions PLUS exclusive photos of Emily’s scary stuffed bear

attacking Erica, visit our forums over at palavr.com and send us feedback at[email protected]. Heat up that fondue and dig in!
