Eliza and Olive recap and review episode seven of season two; The Substitute! Gwyneth Paltrow guest stars this episode (on Glee... not on the podcast) as Holy Holiday, a teacher only *slightly worse at her job than Will Schuester - but a million times more likable! With sickness spreading around the school, we get a plethora of uncomfortable scenes with Terri overstepping boundaries, while also being pleasantly greeted by more Mike Chang screen time. As always on Glee, we take the good with the bad!

24:30 - mention of fatphobia

43:35 - 45:05 - homophobia/death threat

The light of our lives, Blaine Anderson, gets introduced this episode, so Eliza goes veritably feral at this revelation.

Eliza and Olive recap and review episode five of season two; Rocky Horror Glee Show! This episode calls up the age-old, Glee-relevant question; is this episode 'camp' or is it just BAD? Luckily, the writers were able to shoehorn in as many Rocky Horror songs as possible in between Mr. Shue being a bad teacher and Eliza simping over John Stamos. If you're interested in learning more about the actual Rocky Horror Show, check out our friend's podcast; Rocky Horror Minute!

Eliza and Olive recap and review episode three of season tow; Grilled Cheesus! With the discussion of religion do's and don't's poorly pushed around by the Glee writers, Olive takes it upon themself to nitpick everything said this episode.

Eliza and Olive recap and review episode two of season two; Britney/Brittany! In an absolutely positively filled with bangers and bops, we get to argue about which cover is the BEST of the best, finally.
