GLEEwind

It’s a beautiful night, and we’re looking for something dumb do to! 

Hey baby, I think we want to do a deep dive into season 2, episode 8 “Furt”, and episode 9 “Special Education”! In the former, the Glee Club hijacks Burt and Carol’s wedding, and Carol Burnett hijacks Sue’s wedding with herself. In the latter, the stakes have never been lower for Sectionals and Rachel has never been more silenced. We also somehow discuss MJ Rodriguez, Jenny McCarthy, and Allison Williams’ agents in the same episode. We’re so glad to be back!

We discuss:
2x08: Furt
Written by: Ryan Murphy
Directed by: Carol Banker

2x09: Special Education
Written by: Brad Falchuk
Directed by: Paris Barclay

Buen día, clase!

Butter the floor and switch names with your classmate, because this week there’s a sub teacher as we discuss 2x07: “The Substitute” with very special guest Kevin O’Keeffe. We dive deep into the tater tot wars and discuss everything Gwyneth Paltrow. Where was she in her career when she joined Glee? How did being on the show alter her public persona? Could she make a six de-Glees connection with Tom Holland? We also try to buy Lea’s house off the market.

We also talk about the impact of “Teenage Dream” and the most wonderful time of the year: whenever Lea has new music out.

We’ll always have Sam’s abs.

Welcome back to school, gleeks! This week we’re kicking off our season 2 with ultra special guest Garrett Greer, who actually worked on “Glee” for the first two seasons! Garrett helps us dissect the highly anticipated at the time season 2 premiere, “Audition” and gives us all the behind-the-scenes drama from his time on the show. He also introduces a new segment in which he schools us on what we’ve gotten right or wrong so far.

(We apologize for the sound issues towards the second half. We did our best after some files were lost. We still think this is one of our best episodes!)

Well, we've made it. After a season of teen emotional breakdowns, heart soaring musical numbers, and entirely too much Matthew Morrison rapping, we made it to Regionals. This week, we dive into the final episode and wrap up the first season of GLEE with "Journey to Regionals." Sue is made a judge at the competition, Quinn finally gives birth, and Vocal Adrenaline blows our mind once again. Even if the best number wasn't even shown.

We also rank our favorite episodes and musical numbers of the season. Did something rain on "Don't Rain on my Parade"'s parade?
   
We discuss:

• Bryan Greenberg & Charles Michael Davis Join Lea Michele In ABC Holiday Movie ‘Same Time, Next Christmas’

This is a rough one, guys. This week we fall into a deep funk, as we discuss episodes 1x20: “Theatricality” and 1x21: “Funk”. On the former, it’s Gaga week at McKinley, Rachel has the most misguided first encounter with her birth mother, and Finn says the “F” word. On the latter, Will tries to seduce Sue to disarm her, Vocal Adrenaline strikes back, and Quinn dances while pregnant; a lot. Us? We’d just rather talk about Beanie Feldstein.
   
We discuss:
1x20: Theatricality
Written and directed by: Ryan Murphy

1x21: Funk
Written by: Ian Brennan
Directed by: Elodie Keene

• ‘American Crime Story’ Season 3 to Tackle Clinton Impeachment With Beanie Feldstein as Monica Lewinsky

This week is all about lost voices and hopeless dreams as we dive into 1x18: “Laryngitis” and 1x19: “Dream On”. Puck loses his mojo as Rachel loses her vocal chords, Neil Patrick Harris heads a showchoir recovery group, Idina Menzel once dreamed a dream, and it’s finally Kurt’s turn. But it’s all background to our deep discussion on MTV’s “Are You the One?” and the CATS trailer.
