Loser Like Me

Glee did a Very Special Episode so thoroughly that we had to do one too. This is season 4, episode 18 "Shooting Star", and it deals with a school shooting at the school. There was no way we could make any jokes about this one, so if you're willing please enjoy this short episode which is just our thoughts and criticisms against what this episode put out.

We've also got a Doc collecting various public criticisms towards the episode when it aired, as well as statistics and resources regarding gun violence in the US: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jAu9JJ57cEetefNf3CECnrQ0pOct4n0it8UPqC591EM/edit?usp=sharing.

Also, please feel free to listen to "It's the Guns" by Philip Labes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KtKNQS9rXY

Sometimes we bring guests on for a fun and then it turns out they have a fascinating insight on the contents of the glee of the hour. This is not that. This is Tanner and Ryan thinking of a single bit and then the latter being caught along for the ride as Christina tries to explain why this episode, in the grand scheme of things, isn't even that bad. Like, it's got a macaroni Kurt, maracas that probably aren't offensive, and Kitty being chased by a Vicky. It's great!

This week is a mess, but at least it's a brain-smoothing mess. It's time for a FEuD! Will's old son vs his new son! Logic vs Sue Sylvester! Kitty vs moral decency! And Tanner and Christina are just along for the ride, like the hardcore friends they are.

It's time for an episode about movies, and who better to join us than certified movie guy Serge of Cold Crash Pics! He's truly harrowed by the end of this due to some weak mashups, terrible reasons for songs, and an utter lack of stakes. Also Kitty might be hiding in the air vents, who can say?

Serge can be found on bsky @ColdCrashPics, and at his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@coldcrashpictures!

This episode we are joined by returning guest Harley to engage in some absolutely pamphetless behaviour. Somebody may or may not be getting married (maybe Gary?), no one has any game, but at least Quinn gets to have a Big Queer Freshman Year.

True Divas never die, but this episode almost took us out. Some things stay the same (Rachel is insufferable, Will's home planet needing him), but some things are going off the rails (Rachel's weird naked boyfriend, Kurt winning over the sickos). And Poor Jenna from our Eidolon games is stuck in the middle of the cafeteria pit to watch it all unfold. It's Diva!

Let's talk about tits. EMOTIONAL tits. Lindsay's back to help us strip down these...hang on let's try again. There are teens and they are stripping, and unrelated, Lindsay is here to discuss what the hell is going on (so much). We also see the return of vocal masturbation, the reindeer sweater, and intricate male bonding rituals.

This movie could've been a Hallmark card. BUT! We saw an opportunity to watch a seasonal movie with not one but TWO Gleeople in it, along with other celebrities like Bom JombaJom, Sarah Jessica Paulson, and a singular Naked Brother. And if you don't have your own orb, maybe we can tide you over with some speeches from 2011's New Year's Eve?

We're so glad that Fabby returned to back us up on this episode, because she brought slides! Yes it's the infamous "Baby Got Back" episode, but there's so much more going on here. No one knows how feminism or legal investigations work, but least there are snowballs at the Snow Ball.

Fabby can be found on bluesky @fabbybear.itch.io. Support her work on Eidolon and SuperWhoLumbo!

Glee's attempt at a Love, Actually homage crashed and burned because they did not understand the assignment. We did, at the very least, by bringing in our guest...uh...well. Hmm. How about that.
