Fandom on the Rocks

We know times are strange right now, but are they as strange as an episode of Glee? (Yes, we're being facetious, the world is scary. STAY HOME.) This is S3E2 - "I Am Unicorn." Kurt is running for Student Body President and campaign manager Brit wants him to lean into the unicorn. Schue makes some of the New Directions attend Booty Camp and Shelby Corcoran returns to shake things up even more. Kevin McHale Scale: 2.5 - you decide why Klainedex: 6 - purely for the fondness of their looks Shoud...

Welcome to Season 3 of Glee, and of Glee on the Rocks. By Executive Order we've decided to just give ourselves seasons too, because why not? We're professionals. This is S3E1, "The Purple Piano Project." Once again, the New Directions are looking for members and Mr. Schue has them perform in public to recruit. Meanwhile, Kurt and Rachel discover other talented teenagers and Blaine Warbler becomes Blaine Anderson. Kevin McHale Scale: 0 - not a great way to start a new season Klainedex: 8 - for...

We've made it to the Season 2 finale! Today we're talking S2E22, "New York." Nationals is finally here and the Glee Club is super prepared for it. They're so prepared that instead of rehearsing for months leading up, they're writing the songs the day before. But hey, it's Glee. Kevin McHale Scale: 1 - really just for Bella Notte and showing up to work. Klainedex: 7 - a 5 for the "I love yous" and an extra 2 for Kurt talking about moving to New York with Blaine. Our sound engineer is Adriana, ...

Friends! Countrymen! We are returned. Today we're talking about S2E21, "Funeral." The New Directions have almost made it to Nationals in New York, but first they had to make an honestly heartfelt pit stop at a funeral. Meanwhile, Mercedes, Kurt, and Santana all get solos. Yay! This episode rates a 0.5 on the Kevin McHale Scale. It was a 1 for him showing up to work, but half a point off for the podcast. And it rates a full 0 on the Klainedex for it not even really existing. Check out our Patr...

The holidays are upon us, but we have a new episode for you first. Today we're talking S2E20, "Prom Queen." Junior Prom has arrived for the New Directions and everyone is worried about dresses, dates, and spiking the punch bowl. Also, Jesse St. James returns and looks great in a skinny scarf. This episode rates a solid 4 on the Kevin Scale for having two songs and a whole subplot, and a 7 on the Klainedex, for going on two dates, a romantic dance, and heartfelt conversations. Happy Holidays! ...

Hello! Yes, it's us. Recovered from Thanksgiving (not really) and back with a new episode for you. Today we're talking S2E19, "Rumours." Gossip abounds in and out of the choir room, and April Rhodes return to potentially steal Mr. Schue off to the Great White Way. This episode rates a 2.5 on the Kevin Scale for getting a solid song, and a 1.5 on the Klainedex, for Blaine spiritually being a part of the show. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Check out our PATREON for perks and rew...

This week on Glee on the Rocks we're talking S2E18, "Born This Way." This extra-long episode (theirs, not ours) is chock full of your Glee favorites: Klaine on staircases, Klaine hugging, and Klaine telling each other their feelings. Also, we get Quinn's backstory and everyone reveals their insecurities. This episode rates a solid 0 on the Kevin Scale for not even being able to remember anything he did in the episode, and a 6 on the Klainedex, for that hug. Available now wherever you get your ...

Happy October, y'all. In this episode of Glee on the Rocks we cover S2E17, "Night of Neglect." Maybe you thought we'd skip this travesty, but we didn't. We're professionals. Once again the Glee Club doesn't know how to budget and needs to raise money for Nationals, so Holly Holliday tells them to put on a benefit concert. Because nothing could possibly go wrong there. This episode rates a whole .25 on the Kevin Scale and a 1.5 on the Klainedex for good coats. Thanks again to our sound engineer...

We've been looking for you forever. We should practice. We thought we were. We think it's adorable. We think you're adorable. *ahem* Anyway. That's right, this week is S2E16, "Original Song." The New Directions take original songs (see what they did there, with the title of the episode? genius) to Regionals while Quinn's entirely storyline...uh...sucks. Also, a bird dies. Nothing else happens. Except for the best kiss in all of the Glee's history. This episode rates an astounding 0 on the Kevi...

This week we're talking S2E15, "Sexy." Holly Holliday returns to McKinley and discovers that the Glee Club is woefully undereducated about sex. We also discuss Emma and asexuality, and of course, Blaine talking to Papa Burt about Kurt. Because he wants to bone. You know what's next though right? "Original Song." This episode rates a paltry .5 on the Kevin Scale and a solid 6 on the Klainedex. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Check out our PATREON for perks and rewards. Like exclus...

This week's episode is S2E14, "Blame It On the Alcohol." McKinley is under the throes of a teenage drinking crisis and the Glee Club is there to solve it with the power of K Dollar Sign Ah. Blaine might be bisexual and poor Papa Burt has to deal with his son bringing a boy home for the first time. Sort of. This episode rates a 2.5 on the Kevin Scale and a middle of the road 5 on the Klainedex. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Check out our PATREON for perks and rewards. Like exclu...

Don't call it a comeback. This week's episode is S2E13, "Comeback." Don't remember it? Neither did we. And we just watched it. Sue has a new plan to destroy the Glee club and Brit becomes a fashion icon. That's...about it. The sweaters are cute though. This episode rates a 2.5 on the Kevin Scale and sadly, the Klainedex is straight up nonexistent this week. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Check out our PATREON for perks and rewards. Like exclusive mini-episodes! Theme song by W...

We need to talk about the pink sunnies. This week's episode is S2E12, "Silly Love Songs." It's Valentine's Day at McKinley High and the New Directions are celebrating with those classic emotions of jealousy, infidelity, and mono. Over at Dalton, Kurt has Feelings for Blaine (duh), but Blaine has Feelings for a Junior Manager at the GAP (dang). This episode rates a 3 on the Kevin Scale and a whopping 7 on the Klainedex. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. We also now have a Patreon! ...

This week's episode is S2E11, "The Sue Sylvester Shuffle." The McKinley High football team and the New Directions have to band together for a one-night-only Superbowl half-time performance extravaganza. Also, Blaine loves football and Kurt loves scarves. Now talk at us while we podcast. This episode rates a 2.5 on the Kevin Scale and a 4 on the Klainedex. Available now wherever you get your podcasts.

Hark! Are those jingle bells in the air? Or are we covering a Christmas episode in the middle of year? Yep, today's episode is S2E10, "A Very Glee Christmas." At McKinley, it's discovered that Brit still believes in Santa and has a very special wish this year. Meanwhile, at Dalton, Kurt and Blaine have their first Christmas duet. Hearts flutter. This episode rates a 4 on the Kevin Scale and a 6 on the Klainedex. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Rate, follow, and subscribe on your...

Kurt gets a bird, but no solo, and the New Directions get two songs at Sectionals while everyone else only gets one. Just another episode of Glee. Today we're talking about S2E9, "Special Education." The Glee club battles The Warblers and the Hipsters for supremacy in Western Ohio, while Finn battles with his jealousy over Rachel and Puck. And everyone hates Rachel this week. This episode rates a 3 on the Kevin Scale and a 6 on the Klainedex. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Rat...

Burt and Carole, the real MVPs of the show, get engaged, which means it's time for a big fat Glee wedding. Today's episode is S2E8, "Furt." Kurt is tasked to plan the wedding in, like, 30 minutes, and Finn is not having it all. Karofsky is still the worst and Carol Burnett shows up to steal the episode. Oh, and Sam and Quinn are still around. This episode rates a 1.25 on the Kevin Scale and a 1.5 on the Klainedex. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Rate, follow, and subscribe on y...

With Schuester out sick it's time to bring in a sub for the Glee Club. Because clubs get subs? Or is it a class? We still don't know. Today's episode is about S2E7, "The Substitute." Gwyneth Paltrow arrives for her first stint as Holly Holliday, the cool sub who sings and dances and respects the kids' opinions. Can we keep her? This episode rates a 2 on the Kevin Scale and a 5 on the Klainedex. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Rate, follow, and subscribe on your social media network...

The episode (some of) you have been (maybe) waiting for. The moment it all begins. The character introduction of all character introductions. That’s right. Today’s episode covers S2E6, “Never Been Kissed.” The incessant bullying of Kurt sends him to Dalton Academy, a gay utopia in the heart of Ohio with a zero tolerance policy and zero teachers. And one Blaine Anderson. Can you hear those opening a capella notes? We can. Yes, other things happen in this episode, but isn’t this why you’re here? T...

Don't we all just LOVE Glee's tribute episodes? They're really the cream of the storytelling crop. Today's episode is about S2E5, "The Rocky Horror Glee Show." Glee takes on the seminal cult classic, Mr. Schue tries to break up a happy relationship, and Kurt continues to have a shit time at McKinley. Also, there are mashups again. Just another day in Limo, Ohio. But anyway, the next episode is "Never Been Kissed" so what does this episode really matter? Available wherever you get your podcasts. ...

We're back! Okay, yes, it's been a hot minute with the holidays and recovering from all of the eating at the holidays. But Glee on the Rocks is back at you with a brand new episode. Today we're talking about S2E4 - "Duets." The Glee Club pairs off for the right to fight for a date night at Breadstix. Meanwhile, your hosts talk about just what was up with the whole "is Sam Evans going to be Kurt Hummel's new love interest" thing that Glee tried to play for a week and half. Spoilers: he's not. Thi...

We've got something a little different for you today. The holidays are upon us and since we're (sadly) no where near the first Glee Christmas episode, we thought we'd try something new. Today we're talking about Community, but not just any ol' Community episode. We're watching their classic Glee parody, "Regional Holiday Music." Oh yes. The format is a little different. We watched this episode together and recorded our "live" commentary during it. We invite you to follow along by watching the ep...

Glee is gunning for those Emmy nominations by going deep with religion and giving Burt Hummel a Very Bad Day. This is S2E3, "Grilled Cheesus." Finn sees Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich, Kurt gets shit on for having different beliefs than the rest of the Glee Club, and Sue Sylvester is a damn good sister. Did this discussion of religion and faith ring true for you? Or did it hit a hollow note? This episode ranks a paltry .5 on the Kevin Scale. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Theme ...

It's Brittany S. Pierce, bitch. That's right, it's the (first) highly anticipated Britney Spears tribute episode! At least Glee wanted it to be highly anticipated. We're talking S2E2, "Britney/Brittany." Was it all killer, no filler? Or all filler, no killer? You'll have to listen to find out what we thought. We also meet Emma's new beau, Carl, the hunky dentist, and newbie Sam is nowhere to be seen. The episode ranks a whopping 2.5 Kevins on the Kevin Scale. He got a whole song, y'all! Follow u...
