JoJCast - screenwriters on screenwriting

State of the Sitcom continues...

We push ever forward in our miniseries taking on all things sitcom from I Love Lucy to The Good Place and everything in between!

This week, we're joined by the hosts of Bygones: The Ally McBeal Podcast for a spot of Pod & Podcastability as we tackle one of the greatest dynasties of British history, Blackadder. We offer our most enthusiastic contrafibularities to all our listeners as we discuss erotic vegetables, the constituency of Dunny-on-the-Wold and just how hot Rowan Atkinson really is. 

We gave our abs a real workout chatting about one of our favourite British sitcoms ever and remembering what an expertly written show Blackadder is. To hear more from our guests as they make their way through the entire run of Ally McBeal, be sure to check out their podcast and follow them on social media for all the dancing baby memes you can shake a stick insect at.

Happy Sitcom-ing,

State of the Sitcom continues...

We push ever forward in our miniseries taking on all things sitcom from I Love Lucy to The Good Place, literally in this episode, and everything in between!

This week, we're joined by host of The Empire Magazine Podcast, Liverpool fan & journalist, Chris Hewitt! Together, we enter the Schur-niverse to comment on the rule-breaking modern sitcom classic, The Good Place. Covering everything from its breakout star Ted Danson, the problem of ethical writing and why you have to be really clever to write stupid well, we bring Janet levels of knowledge to this funny and forward-thinking sitcom.

We drop a fair few forks, benches and even a couple of C-bombs so the explicit content warning is in full effect this episode and for fans of the Empire Podcast drinking games, we counted at least four instances so keep your ears peeled!

If you're a fan of podcasts, film, TV, Hamilton, or culture in general and you somehow have missed it so far, then be sure to check out the Empire Podcast for weekly doses of news, reviews & enthusiastic responses to films like Pixels - https://www.empireonline.com/tags/empire-podcast/

State of the Sitcom will continue in a fortnight with some even more cunning guests as we journey through time in the company of an enthusiastic contrafibularitious dynasty of dark snakes. In the meantime our weekly Game of Thrones thronedowns continue every Monday so be sure to subscribe!

We push ever forward in our miniseries taking on all things sitcom from I Love Lucy to The Good Place and everything in between!

This week, we're joined by another married podcasting couple, Cathy & Dave from the award-winning The Cinemile Podcast! We head back to the time of shell-suits, crop tops and push-pops as we return to the beloved, Disney channel sitcom, Saved By The Bell. Whether it's chatting about the show's influence on four wide-eyed children from the UK and Ireland or uncovering Dr Who-esque theories about Zack's time-out abilities, this podcast gets deep into all things Bayside High School. GO TIGERS!

We had a rad time recording this and we urge you to check out The Cinemile for all things film & TV, especially their weekly Game of Thrones catchups on Patreon for the next six weeks!

 

We'll also be chatting GoT every Monday and remember to subscribe to get the next episode of State of the Sitcom in a fortnight when we return with a very special guest of lethal cunning who may or may not have done enough good to spend eternity with Ted Danson.

Happy Sitcom-ing,

We push ever forward in our miniseries taking on all things sitcom from I Love Lucy to The Good Place and everything in between!

In our first episode of Season 2 we're joined by Kate & Kaitlyn, the legen....wait for it...DARY hosts of the Hey, Beautiful! A HIMYM Podcast to discuss the perfect (even though perfect isn't always perfect) and multi-layered sitcom, How I Met Your Mother.

We geek out over background jokes and nine-season-long payoffs, console each of us over the powerful, emotional journeys the characters encounter and learn amazing new things about a show which already has so much to offer.  We loved recording this and urge our listeners to find the best burger in NYC (or a substitute) and don't postpone joy, just start listening to Hey, Beautiful Podcast on their amazing journey through HIMYM on Twitter, Instagram and Patreon...

Tune in next week for more special guests and maybe some high school hijinks and shell suit stylings!

Happy Sitcom-ing,

JoJ x
