Freaky Glee-day

1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:02,500
I got really deep on a podcast
about Glee.

2
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:07,000
I did not expect this Glee Glee
is the one that started talking

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,200
about things like domestic
violence and school shootings,

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,800
and things like that.
So at least a grassy, never,

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,400
pretended to be a musical
comedy.

6
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:30,800
You're listening to On the
rocks.

7
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:36,600
Hi everyone, welcome to another
episode of Glee on the Rocks.

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,400
I am be I'm Mandy and today, we
have a super special guest from

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,000
The Wonderful zany and clever
podcast.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,600
Let's remake a movie.
Our Guest Sean.

11
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:48,800
Welcome Sean.
Thanks so much for having me

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,900
here today.
Yeah, so tell us a little bit

13
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:56,100
about the podcast, which
everybody know, so what everyone

14
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:58,800
should know about.
Let's remake a movie is, we

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:04,099
basically take every bar
discussion or You know what, if

16
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:06,100
session that you've had with
your friends over the years for

17
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,600
the you say, you know what, if
we took these two movies and

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,800
mash them together, or you know,
who would win in a fight between

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,700
Superman and Goku or something
like that, what we do is we

20
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:19,400
basically take the premise of a
movie and we say what if we

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,000
change it up a little bit.
So we've done everything.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,700
From what if Indiana Jones had
to fight Joe Exotic the Tiger

23
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,500
King three wha-what if the
Griswold Family took their

24
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:31,400
Christmas vacation at the
Overlook Hotel to The Shining.

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,300
So, Basically, we take, you
know, two relatively classic

26
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:37,500
movies and just make them as
ridiculous as we can.

27
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:42,700
Yeah, I had so much fun
listening to y'all's episode of

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,200
Pineapple Express and Inception
in section.

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,600
I had such a great time
listening to that one.

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,400
I can really see it, it would
really work, it's one of those

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,200
we find that.
Typically, if you get a movie

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,900
that's ridiculous.
It doesn't matter if it's

33
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:59,800
serious ridiculous like
Inception or, you know, just

34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,300
funny ridiculous like Pineapple
Express as long as there's.

35
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:05,500
I'm sort of common denominator
between the two in terms of how

36
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:08,000
over the top they can be, then
you're always going to have a

37
00:02:08,008 --> 00:02:10,900
good time with it.
So there's a science to re

38
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:14,000
making a movie a little bit, you
know, he's got to find something

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,700
that the two of them have in
common, whether it's, you know,

40
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:20,500
a style or a setting like a
Christmas vacation and a winter

41
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:23,800
setting in The Shining, you
know, as long as there's a

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,500
little bit of overlap, we can
sort of massage the two of them

43
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:28,700
together.
That makes sense.

44
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:33,400
The Shining one is a one that I
listen to most recently and I

45
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:38,700
love the characterization Chevy
Chase like versus Giants.

46
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,400
That was we had gone back and
forth on that.

47
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,700
And part of, that was because
one of our co-host, my friend,

48
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:50,200
Laura very much hate Stanley
Kubrick, which is very much on

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,800
display that episode.
So, you know, just sort of the

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,000
sheer, you know, energy from
that, you know, sort of nerd

51
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
rage that Got into definitely
help to you know sort of as well

52
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,400
push forward that you know,
manic energy, that's always in

53
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,600
either chevie Chase or Jack
Nicholson and either of those

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,600
movies.
So we got lucky with that one

55
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,500
that we also happen to press the
nerve with her, I suppose.

56
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,200
Awesome.
Well, of course, coming on, Glee

57
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,200
on the rocks.
Glee.

58
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:24,200
We got it.
We got to talk about it so we we

59
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,300
talk about our fandom pass from
Ferg, leave quite a bit.

60
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:29,700
So let's tell the people where
you're coming from.

61
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,400
Are you a Gleek?
I am a Gleek or it'll probably

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,200
more accurately was a Gleek
coming weeks?

63
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,600
Yeah.
Formerly guess it worked.

64
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:42,200
Frankly, it came out when I was
about 16 years old, you know,

65
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,600
definitely a, you know, nerdy
theater kid.

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,200
You know, always a little bit of
an outcast.

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,900
So I was basically the people
they were depicting on the show

68
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,900
so I remember watching.
For the first time be like oh my

69
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:57,100
God, I see myself, you know,
obviously just without all the

70
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:00,000
cheesy dance numbers and
occasionally problematic

71
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,900
experiences.
But nevertheless it was a show

72
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:05,500
that was near and dear to my
heart when it first came out

73
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,900
since, you know, which I
followed along pretty

74
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:11,800
religiously and through college,
I forget exactly where I fell

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,200
off but you know since then
thanks to things like Netflix,

76
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,300
I've definitely and things like
a quarantine.

77
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,200
I definitely been able to play
catch-up as it were and so I

78
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,700
remembered how much I enjoy Get
it on.

79
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:25,200
Ironically, yeah, I think a lot
of people played catch up with

80
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,100
Glee over the quarantine.
Yeah, that was one of those

81
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:30,900
shows.
I saw like quite a few people

82
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:32,900
breaking out to like Marathon
through.

83
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:34,800
Absolutely.
Absolutely.

84
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,100
And it's sort of like, you know,
I had to look back knowing on,

85
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,800
you know, all the drama that
surrounded, the cast in the year

86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,200
since then, to see how it holds
up.

87
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,900
And it's like, you know, you
were so young and innocent

88
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:47,200
before everything went wrong,
you know what I mean?

89
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,300
So, it was kind of Bittersweet
in that way, but I still love

90
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:54,100
the show.
So you have seen season 6.

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,600
It's been a little while but I
have seen our our tagline and

92
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,800
this this started especially for
me and Emily since I became on

93
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,400
the podcast a little bit later,
but it's we haven't seen season

94
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,000
six either.
All right, eventually in the run

95
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,100
of the podcast.
And at that point, Emily and I,

96
00:05:14,108 --> 00:05:15,800
at least will be reacting to
things.

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,700
We haven't seen you, can you can
take your time with that one to

98
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:20,700
rush.
Yeah.

99
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Right, we're not in a hurry.
No, where's the now?

100
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,700
There's a I mean we all know
what to expect when it comes to

101
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:35,100
Glee but you know, I will say
it's a pretty it's a pretty good

102
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,800
ending for what the show was.
I will say that much.

103
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,500
Hmm.
Yeah, I've only seen it once and

104
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:44,600
like a binge watch kind of way.
So it'll be fun to critically

105
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,000
pick it apart because it was, it
was all so many years later and

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,500
Fortune.
Netflix just re watching the

107
00:05:49,508 --> 00:05:52,300
whole thing.
So it Yeah, there we go.

108
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:54,700
Well to bring you back for
season 6 because I think that

109
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:59,100
would be truly a great time to
just be glad to yeah that'd be

110
00:05:59,108 --> 00:06:02,300
great for sure.
No it's almost like it was the

111
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:04,400
same way.
How looking back on this episode

112
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,500
I was kind of like who some of
this was a little troubling at

113
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:13,100
the time or at least would be to
Modern sensibilities but you

114
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,800
know but it still reminded me
how much I love the music that

115
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,700
they put together and the
arrangements.

116
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,500
I always thought was fantastic
regardless of what else was

117
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:21,100
going on.
On.

118
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,300
Yeah, that's how that's how ugly
like ketchup old in ml for sure.

119
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:32,700
For sure.
That was a I remember probably

120
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:38,500
my first really hard core memory
associated with Glee is, as you

121
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:41,000
know, I'm from upstate New York.
So as my mother and I were

122
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,100
driving all over, you know, the
vast expanses of forests and

123
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:49,900
Wasteland and stuff like that.
In my college search, we had the

124
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:56,200
season one Glee CD densities
were thing and we it was one

125
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,600
piece of music that we could
agree on.

126
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,300
So it was a CD that we
basically, you know, wore out

127
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:03,300
the 12 songs or however many
were on it, you know, over the

128
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:08,200
course of hours, upon hours of,
you know, very boring road trips

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,500
was saying along to that that
CD.

130
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,800
So I'll always have fond
memories of that, you know, at

131
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,200
least the early seasons and then
moving on into the you know,

132
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,100
little bit wacky or Seasons, you
know, but they still bring that

133
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:25,600
good feeling.
Yeah wacky definitely describes

134
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,100
the place we're at with lives as
a No that that we're talking

135
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:31,700
about today.
Mmm.

136
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:35,400
Yes yeah, let's get into it.
So we always start with given

137
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,700
the listeners, a little
description of the episode

138
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:41,500
because let's be real, we didn't
all go back and watch these.

139
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:47,300
But today we're talking about
season 3 episode 20 props.

140
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:54,100
So it aired on May 15th. 2012,
it's directed by and written by

141
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:56,300
Ian Brennan.
One of the original show Runners

142
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:59,900
are a b and this is a
description from Google which is

143
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:03,300
not entirely accurate as usual
with the Nationals looming.

144
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:07,500
The kids prepare a high-concept
routine when Tina bumps her head

145
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:09,300
in rehearsals her new
directions.

146
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:13,500
World is turned upside down
apropos of nothing.

147
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,400
But yeah, that's so Props and
that's about a third of what

148
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,400
happens in the show.
I think they're consistently

149
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,900
terrible with leaving out most
of the the actual, A and B plot.

150
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:31,100
Every single time were like,
that's and Tina doesn't even

151
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:33,000
bump her head in rehearsals.
That's not even correct.

152
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,200
So, you know, no, one ever
person that wrote, those didn't

153
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,000
watch believe or didn't watch
Glee.

154
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:40,500
Nope.
Nope.

155
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:42,600
They watch the trailer the next
time on Glee.

156
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:44,400
That's right.
That is like, you can't make me

157
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,700
watch it.
You can't make me watch it.

158
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:48,600
Yep.
So, what were our overall

159
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,300
Impressions initial thoughts?
Like, I'll be honest.

160
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,200
It was not as funny as I
remembered.

161
00:08:56,100 --> 00:09:00,500
I think some of that comes down
to My perception of some of the

162
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:02,800
actors now.
Mmm, Mmm.

163
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,900
It's like, there's always that
thing when watching this show,

164
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:09,600
particularly the show is had so
many tragedies and then like, I

165
00:09:09,608 --> 00:09:13,900
don't know, not quite tragedies,
but things better, left unlocked

166
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,600
about.
That seems just hit a little

167
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,100
different now, but some of the
actors were really funny.

168
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:22,400
It doing there like impressions
of each other so yes, yeah, it

169
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,800
had moments.
I will say I did like the

170
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,500
conceit of the whole body swap
kind of situation, because I

171
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:32,600
think it gave them a good
opportunity to basically make

172
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600
fun of themselves in a way, you
know.

173
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:37,200
And it's just even the little
things.

174
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Like, you know, when they cut to
the body, swapped kids after

175
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,100
Tina does her big number and Joe
as Mike Chang, just does this

176
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:51,200
little pop and lock because
that's all he does.

177
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,100
And in the same way that I think
you touched on this, you know,

178
00:09:56,100 --> 00:10:00,500
in talking about Blaine's hair
gel and basically how you know,

179
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:03,200
it's a joke that, you know,
everybody hates planes hair but

180
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:07,100
you know, I think to some extent
because Ryan Murphy is obviously

181
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,300
aware of criticism against you
shows.

182
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:13,100
I think having him as Puck and
just having him have the Mohawk,

183
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:17,100
you know, as the most shocking,
you know hair transformation.

184
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,000
Possible is sort of like saying
yes.

185
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,900
We get it.
So here you go deal with this

186
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:27,800
now, it's really Ryan Murphy is
very good at trying to give

187
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,300
people not what they want but
step were so they stop

188
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:33,800
complaining.
Okay?

189
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,600
And I agree as well.
That sort of looking back on

190
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,400
knowing what happened to the
actors afterwards and just you

191
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,900
know, knowing about the
backstage drama with Lea Michele

192
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:49,100
and knowing about all the things
that happened with Puck.

193
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:52,500
After the show ended, it does
make it, it sort of makes those

194
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:54,300
more poignant.
That's where it's sort of.

195
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:57,100
Like I'm not sure I want to
sympathize with you all that

196
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:59,700
well, but you're doing a very
good job in this moment.

197
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:02,000
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a really good way

198
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,400
of putting it.
It's like you can't you can't

199
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,100
unknow what you know that
happened after the show, but

200
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,900
Anyway, yeah, yeah.
That's especially if the whole

201
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:18,800
thing is also about, you know,
to some extent, a critique of

202
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800
Rachel, being a diva and hogging
the air time.

203
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Then it's sort of like, in many
ways I think, at least, I

204
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,300
remember when I first watched
this episode is Tina was saying

205
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:30,100
a lot of what I was thinking at
the time.

206
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,900
Mmm.
And just, you know, I remember

207
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:37,400
thinking, yes, that's awesome.
You know, finally somebody is

208
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,300
sticking up for her.
You know, saying all the things

209
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,000
that, you know, I've been
thinking that it's sort of,

210
00:11:42,008 --> 00:11:45,100
like, she can really treat these
people better, but, you know,

211
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,500
which did make it a little bit
disappointing when she sort of,

212
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,300
you know, backed off it
afterwards.

213
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:50,800
But I see what they were doing
there.

214
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:53,400
Yeah.
And I'd forgotten that, like,

215
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,400
I'd forgotten kind of how it
ended.

216
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,400
I remember the plot of the
episode but not that Tina ends

217
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,100
up kind of just like
backtracking totally.

218
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:04,700
I know I was, I was a little.
I was disappointed in her.

219
00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:07,200
Yeah, you were on the right
path.

220
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:09,900
Yeah, that's exactly it.
It's sort of like nothing she

221
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:14,800
said was wrong and also just
again this is trying to divorce

222
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,500
the personal drama knowing how
apparently Lea Michele treated.

223
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:20,900
Some of her co-stars on the
show.

224
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:25,500
I'm sure some of that resonated
very closely but you know, but

225
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:27,900
at the same time it was
certainly a very satisfying

226
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:31,000
moment for a character who was
underused at that point.

227
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,700
I think who had a great voice
but, you know, definitely could

228
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:36,900
have been hurt more.
So do you think that?

229
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,300
Because as we're fond of saying
Polly is not a documentary, I

230
00:12:42,308 --> 00:12:45,600
think there was any sort of like
low-key insinuations in the

231
00:12:45,608 --> 00:12:50,000
writing that that was sort of
like reflecting how Lea Michele

232
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,200
actually was in real life.
Mmm.

233
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,800
Oh gosh.
Well like you said it's not a

234
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,800
documentary but you know I think
anybody who's ever done a glee

235
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000
club High School theater.
Anything like that has known a

236
00:13:01,008 --> 00:13:04,400
Rachel Berry at some point in
their lives and sometimes we've

237
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,400
been that, right?
You'll bury.

238
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:13,000
But that's how I would say that.
I would be hard-pressed to say

239
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
that the writer themselves are
sort of putting in digs for the

240
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,600
actors on purpose.
I think it's more in this case,

241
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,500
life imitating art, where you
have a diva playing kind of a

242
00:13:25,508 --> 00:13:29,200
diva character.
You know, I just trying to think

243
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,800
of how how that first script
read would have gone if Lea

244
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,700
Michele but it was personal, you
know what I mean?

245
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,200
Well, Rachel ends up looking
pretty good in the end, so maybe

246
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,800
she would take it all's.
Well, that ends?

247
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,700
Well, just like that.
It's friend be like, all right.

248
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,800
Yeah, I know this can stay
because we do open the entire

249
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,900
episode so that that's what you
missed on Glee is actually all

250
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:57,800
about Tina.
Actually, she kind of got

251
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,200
ignored last year to actually
Tina sort of, been ignored the

252
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,000
whole time and she's been in the
New Direction since like

253
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,400
forever.
The first time she got a solo.

254
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,300
She insisted she was bad and for
us mr.

255
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:07,300
Shue to give the song to Rachel
and every solo since she's

256
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:09,300
either gotten booed or started
crying uncontrollably.

257
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:11,300
No one noticed that she went
from dressing Punk to dressing

258
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:13,800
God to dressing like a go-go
dancer and 60s swinging London.

259
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,100
She even got my chain to college
and she hardly got a thank-you

260
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,300
sometimes people don't even seem
to know her name, girl, train,

261
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:20,300
Tina, blow, and Wang, Asian
horror movie.

262
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:23,000
And that's what you missed on
Glee, which is interesting.

263
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,900
They've never, I don't remember
a time that they use that as

264
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:29,300
like a comedic plot device
almost once in a while, you

265
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:32,100
know, but really funny to hear
like the little voiceover and

266
00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:36,800
all the clips of Glee being very
Alpha where that Tina is a

267
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,400
background character and Tina
even says in the episode.

268
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,800
She's like, I've been here since
the first day I was doing, Sit

269
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,400
Down, You're Rockin the boat and
typical Glee fashion that by the

270
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,800
end of the episode, it's like,
okay.

271
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,400
And now we'll never talk about
that again.

272
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,300
Go back to the way it was and
it's fine.

273
00:14:54,200 --> 00:15:00,200
But Tina does cause a pretty big
stink in the Glee Club saying,

274
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,800
you know, Rachel gets all the
solos and I don't get any

275
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,800
respect, basically, even though
I've been here the whole time,

276
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:08,500
Time and Mike is mad at her
about that.

277
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:13,600
I had a lot of just not great
feelings about the way, the

278
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400
whole plot went down because I
feel like Tina had a point.

279
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,700
Like, right, Rachel's not even
auditioning for solo, she just

280
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:22,500
getting them.
That's not how Glee Club should

281
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:27,200
work in my opinion.
But He's going to be really just

282
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,000
that special.
I agree.

283
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
I thought the whole scene with
with Mike the confrontation in

284
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,100
the hallway afterwards.
I was having a hard time seeing

285
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:41,000
where he was coming from.
Yeah in so far as you know him

286
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,900
saying you know more or less
wait your turn which you know

287
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:48,600
obviously if there's been some
indication that your turn is

288
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,600
coming, that's one thing, but
I've never, I never saw that

289
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,000
with Tina in particular, just
seems like In a way, she was

290
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,500
absolutely right in terms of she
was feeling like she was being

291
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:03,600
used as a prop and to some
extent, you know, Mike as the

292
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,100
lead dancer.
I think he would have been

293
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,900
perfectly within his right to
say, so do I but but yeah, I had

294
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:12,400
a really had a hard time seeing
his point of view.

295
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,800
There, it does seem that at
least, as far as you know,

296
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:18,600
Matthew Morrison, mr.
Shue goes.

297
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,600
That Rachel is that special?
But yeah, as far as in the grand

298
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,800
scheme of things, it does seem a
little bit.

299
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:27,300
Well, you know, Not a little
bit, it does seem unfair.

300
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
I think she's, you know, got
some perfectly valid grievances

301
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,300
to voice their and it was
interesting to me that Rachel's

302
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:36,800
response to her was like to have
any idea how difficult it is to

303
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,700
be me.
It's exhausting being me.

304
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,400
Yeah, yeah.
Oh my God, you all this stuff.

305
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,500
And I have to be always ready
for a solo or whatever it is

306
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:49,200
just like so far removed from
reality that it's just like just

307
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,700
even more laughable than it
could be because it's like what

308
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:56,700
high schooler in what world like
even I don't know that she

309
00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:01,600
offers her 50 bucks to back off
like you I don't know if I can

310
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:07,400
curse on this podcast but no
you're like okay bitch trust the

311
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:13,500
word I was going for you.
Well I guess it least she didn't

312
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:17,400
send her to a crack house like
she did, oh my God, I forgot

313
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:24,099
about this is true.
On the scale of bribe to crack

314
00:17:24,099 --> 00:17:27,500
house.
It's very low on the Yeah until

315
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:33,200
she considers Tina of Friends by
treating her less crappily than

316
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,700
she does some other friends.
Yeah, yeah, she doesn't make her

317
00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:40,700
transfer schools.
I guess that's the thing.

318
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,100
No.
Oh God.

319
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,700
I forgot about that too.
Jesus.

320
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:52,000
Okay.
So Tina being really upset.

321
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,900
Still about Rachel does not take
Rachel's 50 bucks.

322
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,000
Yeah.
I'm still upset with Rachel

323
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:02,400
texting Mike in fighting with
him about Rachel, which was also

324
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:05,200
nonsensical.
Honestly, I can't think of any

325
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:08,100
Rachel Berry type that I
encountered in high school that

326
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,200
anybody would want to defend
even, you know, it was like,

327
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,700
okay, she's talented and we hate
her, we all know this, like, but

328
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:18,000
I digress.
I'm trying to get us in the body

329
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,500
swap things.
So Tina's at the mall, she's

330
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:21,800
picking up fabric.
Apparently in the Glee Club,

331
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,200
they make the younger members so
their costumes, that's not a

332
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,500
thing.
No, no groaning, that's not a

333
00:18:28,508 --> 00:18:31,200
thing.
They don't just become skilled

334
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,200
seamstress has, because they're
being hazed.

335
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,200
Either theatrical costume
design.

336
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,100
I needed to spend a long time
working on that.

337
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:42,300
I wouldn't give it to a 13 year
old kid to work on.

338
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:44,500
Yes, it.
Thank you, thank you.

339
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,000
It's not like you can just add.
Those dresses were complicated

340
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,500
to than multiple fabrics and
parts and ruching and no way I

341
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:51,900
credit to that.
They did look like they were

342
00:18:51,908 --> 00:18:54,500
doing a very good job at that,
right?

343
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,600
But Tina distracted by her rage
at Rachel falls in the fountain

344
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,800
at the mall and hits her head.
And so she runs into Kurt and

345
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,000
Blaine before that and when she
comes out of the fountain

346
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,300
suddenly curtain blader not Kurt
and Blaine.

347
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,500
I did love this first moment.
It's okay this this episode has

348
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:20,000
a treasure of klain moments
which I don't know if you know

349
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:22,600
we're big claim fans over here I
still do.

350
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,700
So I was delighted and joy.
I myself.

351
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:32,200
But um yeah so instead of Darren
Criss playing Blaine now it's

352
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,800
Mark salling play million
instead of Chris Colfer playing

353
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,700
Kurt.
Now it's Cory Monteith playing

354
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:42,400
Kurt which was a hilarious swab.
I got to say that was inspired,

355
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,400
I think so.
I guess my question is, who was

356
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,600
your favorite Swap and why?
Oh, gosh.

357
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,600
I gotta say that the klaine
swap.

358
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,100
Honestly, just as Who, you know,
in high school you know, was

359
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:01,300
sort of like oh, you know
fucking fin will be an

360
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,900
interesting couple.
It did.

361
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:05,400
Let me have that intensity for a
moment so I'm like yeah that's

362
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,600
actually kind of nice.
I like them and honor.

363
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:12,000
Yeah why not?
You know I can remember being on

364
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,400
Tumblr I'm sure that if I were
on it at the time they would

365
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:20,500
have been all over this episode
but we were but I would say that

366
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:25,700
for me it's the little moments
like the I would say probably

367
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Mike Shang and Zhou swapping
because like I said, I think

368
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,300
when we were just getting
started but just a little pop

369
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:35,200
and lock that he throws in
because you know, he's got to

370
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,000
show that he's like Chang
somehow and that's how he's

371
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,000
gonna do it.
And also just probably Mercedes

372
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,100
nrt as just because it's sort of
like this is the weirdest couple

373
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:51,200
ever but I am about it.
I didn't remember I was I

374
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:54,100
started watching the episode of
my wife came in to watch it with

375
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:57,300
me and she was like wait who
plays Santana And I didn't

376
00:20:57,300 --> 00:21:00,000
remember.
And then the same came on Words

377
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,500
already and now it's like, I'm,
it's funky artists.

378
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,900
And then we watch the whole
episode together because we were

379
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:07,400
dying laughing.
Yes.

380
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:13,300
Typically at at Kevin McHale and
his Santana Depression was so

381
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:15,800
good.
That, that was my favorite swap

382
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,100
especially like they did some
little behind the scenes things

383
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:21,400
where they were just like
talking to the actors as they

384
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,200
were like swapped.
Yeah, it's watching.

385
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:28,600
Nia and Kevin.
As like Nia did a whole like

386
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,200
tour of all of her, like, Artie
accessories.

387
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,700
She was wearing.
My pants are so high and the

388
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:37,700
orthopedic shoes going, they're
comfy.

389
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:42,300
I got my glasses, my suit bag,
my grip and Kevin was just like,

390
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:45,200
I got this ponytail.
Kevin has a ponytail that's

391
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,000
basically, the only resemblance
between Santana and myself.

392
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:58,100
I love the ponytail just like
I'm like piece of the weirdest

393
00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:00,800
thing to see ever and I love
everything about it.

394
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:04,200
What am I favorites?
W?

395
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,100
Which was all background work.
They didn't have any plot at all

396
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:11,200
in the body.
Spock scene was Quinn and sugar

397
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,700
Dianna, Agron was working it.
It's just she was same thing.

398
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:19,700
Vanessa Lindsay's was so good as
quit.

399
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:22,500
I thought they just gave it.
Everyone just gave it a hundred

400
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,900
and fifty percent whether they
were in the back.

401
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,700
Background or the foreground and
it was just incredible like they

402
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:30,300
were having fun.
Yeah.

403
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,400
In like the behind-the-scenes
stuff, Diana's also like she's

404
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:42,100
fully in character.
I can't even tell if she's in

405
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:46,600
character as sugar or Vanessa,
but, but she is just, like,

406
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,100
walking around like Kevin and
Nia, and having fun with it.

407
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,000
I will also say that as a
teenager, I had a huge celebrity

408
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,900
crush on Vanessa lng's for a
while.

409
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,400
Yeah, and then subsequently,
when Glee came on, I had a huge

410
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,100
celebrity crush on Dianna,
Agron.

411
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:06,400
So, it did allow me for a
moment, feel like, yes, yes,

412
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:13,000
Dianna Agron, Fist.
Like, she's pretty and I want to

413
00:23:13,008 --> 00:23:16,200
marry her.
But it's like, do I want to

414
00:23:16,208 --> 00:23:17,500
marry her?
Do I want to be her?

415
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:18,500
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.

416
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,100
Dianna Agron was many a Tumblr
users gay.

417
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,800
Awakening.
I remember this very distinctly.

418
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,800
Yes, it wasn't quite my
Awakening, but I love being a

419
00:23:30,808 --> 00:23:35,500
different way.
I guess lasting Obsession.

420
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:36,600
That's for sure.
Exactly.

421
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:39,500
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.

422
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:42,100
I also.
While we're specifically talking

423
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:47,500
about the swaps the fact, but
Puck and fin as carton Blaine

424
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:49,300
were cuddlier than actually.
Yes.

425
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:55,400
And no more chemistry at some
point, I know I'll absolutely

426
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,500
nothing ever being pissed.
It's fine.

427
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:02,400
I've gone over it.
I did also love Matthew Morrison

428
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,200
in the track suit.
Oh my God.

429
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,300
This soon, she was probably,
yes.

430
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:09,100
Okay, that would really is the
best I think, because they went

431
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:11,400
so hard.
And they didn't have to, but

432
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,400
they did for us and it's also
the moment, you realize.

433
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,100
Wow, they actually have
basically the same haircut

434
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,500
because they have done something
here.

435
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,300
Barry so interchangeable when
Matthew Morrison as sued, like,

436
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:30,800
put his fingers in his ears.
Yeah, every moment, everybody

437
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,000
was working it so hard and I
appreciated them.

438
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,000
It was such a great, like,
truly, like cast episode.

439
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,900
I think it, it just reminded me
how much I loved the cast

440
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:42,700
members and how that kept me,
watching Glee way after I

441
00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:47,300
probably should have wonderful,
okay.

442
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:54,300
So because Tina in the, in the
body.

443
00:24:54,300 --> 00:25:00,600
Swap is Rachel, she gets to have
a solo and yeah, I was going to

444
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,500
say and she kills it and she
kills it with a little

445
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,300
encouragement from Chris Colfer
as Finn.

446
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:12,100
Yes, he's like, afterwards,
we're going to make out because

447
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:16,800
your boobs look slightly bigger.
Today for some reason could be

448
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,900
my favorite line in the show.
Thank you for that.

449
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,100
Yeah, kills it.
What is she saying?

450
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:33,400
Celine Dion.
Yeah because he loved me because

451
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,600
you loved me.
Such a great song and I do love

452
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:43,100
the fact that the joke about her
never getting a solo gets to

453
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:46,100
continue on because technically
it wasn't her.

454
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:51,300
Yeah but it's also show I think
that basically she has a Is that

455
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:55,700
is on the same level as Rachel
just because she murders that

456
00:25:55,700 --> 00:25:57,300
number the same way that Rachel
would have.

457
00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:00,100
So it's sort of like okay yeah,
so there's, you know, just adds

458
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:03,000
more Credence to everything she
said, she's like yeah you know,

459
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,100
I am that good.
It's like yeah, our dresses for

460
00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:09,900
Tina always I was so intrigued
by there was like multiple times

461
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,300
in this episode, they were like
you're going to your time is

462
00:26:12,300 --> 00:26:14,300
coming and your going to get
solos and you're going to be the

463
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:17,300
lead female vocalist and I'm
like hold up because I really

464
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:20,300
like it doesn't.
Yeah.

465
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:25,400
Extra sad which yeah High School
drama club promises are made to

466
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,100
be broken, you know, Justice for
Jenna.

467
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,100
That's what I really feel.
Like she should have been on

468
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:34,900
Broadway and doing something way
better with her time.

469
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:37,000
But I mean, we're lucky, I
guess.

470
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:43,700
But so the way that Tina
switches back, as she has a

471
00:26:43,700 --> 00:26:49,800
heartfelt conversation with Lea
Michele as Tina in the hallway I

472
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,800
guess to tell herself that she
appreciates herself.

473
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,500
Yeah, but yet somehow it turns
out to be about Rachel because

474
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:05,100
they start talking about Carmen
tibideaux and her bid to get

475
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,400
into nyada.
So, I don't know.

476
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,900
I just felt like that.
I have notes.

477
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:11,400
There didn't didn't make a whole
thing.

478
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,700
Yeah.
Me, it's sort of, like, even

479
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,300
even her personal experience and
somehow about Rachel, it's sort

480
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:21,800
of like that.
Sure, that's what we want with

481
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,400
the message here, but, uh, okay,
I'll follow you.

482
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,300
Isn't that Glee in a nutshell,
somehow, it's still about

483
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:28,400
Rachel.
Yep.

484
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,700
Just like they had the idea for
the self-aware episode, but then

485
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:34,800
they were like, but wait, we're
not actually going to do anyone,

486
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,800
but Leo, it's so weird.
If aware but not that self-aware

487
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,600
we're somewhere, which means we
can do it now because we

488
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,500
acknowledge that we know we're
doing is they're just do it.

489
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:47,100
Yeah.
Is this better guys?

490
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:56,100
Isn't it?
But do we feel like the because

491
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:59,300
after she comes out of the body,
swap Tina is suddenly like, oh,

492
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:02,600
I understand you now Rachel.
Not only do I understand you.

493
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,500
I'm gonna help you like, track
down Carmen tibideaux, make her

494
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:09,600
listen to you.
And it's like, Believe that.

495
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:16,700
Mmm, that's seemed it seemed to
give a lot more fuel to the fire

496
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:18,700
of you don't know how hard it is
to be me.

497
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:22,200
That Rachel is giving which I
don't know to me that didn't

498
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,400
really feel all that earned or
all that deserve.

499
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,700
So I was sort of like I mean
again I'm like I see where

500
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:29,200
you're trying to get this
episode to go.

501
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,700
I'm not sure.
That's true.

502
00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:32,700
You took the best Pat.
There we went off-road a little

503
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:33,700
bit.
Yeah.

504
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,900
And I like they also did the
self-aware kind of thing when

505
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:41,800
carbon thibodeau's actually
talking to Rachel and she's

506
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,300
like, you know, for every time I
have to delete one of your

507
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:50,800
voicemails, you're taking time
away from another student times.

508
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,600
You just don't get into the
program but of course, this is,

509
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,700
you know, Rachel?
So yeah, it's going.

510
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:57,100
So it's got to work out some
help.

511
00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:01,000
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Yeah, I thought it was

512
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,600
convenient.
That Rachel somehow knows that.

513
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,600
Carmen tibideaux had to audition
for times for Juilliard and

514
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,100
could just like leave that as
like a Goosebumps walkaway

515
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:15,200
moment of like, yes, weren't you
once me, don't you see yourself

516
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,500
in me?
That is Whoopi Goldberg.

517
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:25,300
How dare you stand where she
stood whooping?

518
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:27,000
Who does an excellent job in
this role?

519
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,800
I think by the way, it's not a
great.

520
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:35,100
Yes, it's a great choice for
that role but I will say Again,

521
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:39,100
as sort of unearned as it was, I
do think that it does a, it does

522
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:42,500
a lot of good to show.
Basically, you know, just

523
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:47,300
basically how good Tina is, you
know, as a character that she

524
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:50,700
really is willing to sort of
back down.

525
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:53,000
And, you know, I think what
they're trying to say is she's

526
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,200
willing to put aside her own
interest, for those of the group

527
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,100
as a whole, which I don't fully
agree that because it always

528
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:02,000
seems like the group's interests
are always magically Rachel

529
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,900
Berry's in it.
But I will say that it does go a

530
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:09,900
long way to show her as being,
you know, sort of the more

531
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:13,300
selfless and group-oriented
individuals are which I can

532
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:16,200
appreciate, right?
Like, what you just said is very

533
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,500
true because even in this
episode like, yes, you know,

534
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,100
Rachel's talented.
Giving her solos mean, they

535
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:25,100
might win Nationals.
But also, Rachel wants Carmen

536
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:27,300
tibideaux to hear her sing so
yeah.

537
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:32,300
Right.
Ultimately Rachel's You know,

538
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,500
desired outcome for her own
personal gain.

539
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:40,900
It's absolutely and you know
it's odd because you know, it's

540
00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:43,600
sort of like a you know it
obviously it is selfish in many

541
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,600
ways but somehow that's not the
most dramatic plot line of this

542
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,600
episode.
I mean, it's ugly somehow always

543
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,300
manages to outdo itself with the
more, you know, they put the

544
00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:56,400
more fun, you know, they sort of
invert the typical, a plot, B

545
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,300
plot structure where the a plot
is usually not always, but it's

546
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:02,500
a lot more light.
Fluffy in this episode.

547
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:06,100
Where as the B plot here is very
dark and very serious.

548
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:10,500
And anyways, well done.
Yeah, yeah.

549
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:14,100
And so I think that basically
wraps up to Tina Rachel

550
00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:18,400
storyline.
So, yeah, the very dark other

551
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,000
story line.
Here is Fallout from the

552
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,700
previous episode where, which
was a bummer of a fucking

553
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:29,100
episode here.
Puck fails a test, which means

554
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:31,800
he's not going to graduate and
Beast.

555
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:38,000
His, oh, my God, being abused by
her husband and, you know, tries

556
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
to leave Then ends up staying.
So we see kind of the Fallout of

557
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,500
that.
I will say, I think because I

558
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:48,500
listened to the last episode of
your guys's podcast about this

559
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:51,000
one before coming on here and I
think you guys hit the nail on

560
00:31:51,008 --> 00:31:53,600
the head when it was like, it
was like an uncharacteristically

561
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,400
dark episode.
Yeah, that also begs a lot of

562
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,200
questions like, where were pucks
other teachers?

563
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,500
What the hell was happening,
that suddenly his future hinges

564
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,800
on one geography, test or
something like that?

565
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,100
It's, you know, I had a lot of
questions but after I remember

566
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:14,600
watching that episode for the
first time being Like wow.

567
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,600
That's how we ready?
- yeah.

568
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,500
No but I mean obviously you know
there is a little bit more hope

569
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:23,100
in this.
I do like I do like the ending

570
00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:24,700
of The Beast plot in this one,
at least.

571
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,200
Yes.
Yeah.

572
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,600
Now, this one, uh, I will say
it's a give me some feelings

573
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,100
that I wasn't used to seeing
from Glee.

574
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:36,400
Shall we?
Say was like, Wow, damn you go

575
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,300
da Marie Jones in that scene.
Where she leaves Cooter is

576
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,300
incredible, like, I'm chills
right now just thinking about

577
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:46,700
it.
She is just so impactful and,

578
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:50,300
you know, it glee shouldn't have
done a domestic violence plot

579
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:53,400
line in the first place, but if
they were going to do it, I'm

580
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,300
glad that she was the one kind
of with it on her shoulders.

581
00:32:57,500 --> 00:33:01,900
Because I just think she did a
fantastic job acting that scene

582
00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:07,000
and making it feel really real.
I will say the one moment that

583
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000
really got me was when you know,
in that final confrontation

584
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,700
after She lays down the prop
knife that she got from thin or

585
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:17,500
from Puck and takes off her ring
puts it on the table and says,

586
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:19,300
you know, that's the awful part
of it.

587
00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:22,200
I love you.
But what does that say about

588
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,700
what I think of me like, oh
damn, that was good.

589
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:32,800
Yes, yeah, points in Brennan,
yes, yeah, I'm for what he

590
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,900
lacked in the other storyline.
I think I made of hoarding this

591
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:39,500
one definitely because it was
just such an impactful.

592
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:42,200
Seen dr.
Jones really can pull off things

593
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,400
like that, because of that
without jumping ahead in, like

594
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,500
the timeline of the show like
she has future.

595
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:54,900
Storylines that also like, I
don't entirely work, but she

596
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:58,200
still manages to salvage
performances, out of them that

597
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,600
individually.
Like seen by saying are still

598
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:08,900
really Emotional Mmm.
Yeah and I was like good example

599
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:12,699
of that is when she has that
moment with puck in the locker

600
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:16,600
room mmm-hmm that was a great
scene to yes.

601
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,000
And again it's sort of like I
look at the actor and I'm like I

602
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,300
don't really want to sympathize
with you knowing everything that

603
00:34:23,300 --> 00:34:25,800
happened after the show.
But damn, you guys are killing

604
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:32,000
this scene right now.
Yes, I do think that was a nice

605
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,900
way to tie up those two
storylines because that is one

606
00:34:34,900 --> 00:34:37,199
of the main, like you said, one
of the main qualities we had

607
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:39,400
last episode was like, where are
his other teachers?

608
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,699
Like where is someone else?
And so Beast, really, is that

609
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:46,199
teacher who sees him and
advocates for him and is like

610
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:51,000
you're not I'm not going to let
you walk away when I can help

611
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,600
you do something about it and
just so powerful.

612
00:34:55,500 --> 00:34:58,700
It was it was a little bit you
know.

613
00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:03,500
Usually when we, it was to the
point where she says that

614
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,300
basically your teachers going to
let you retake this test because

615
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:09,000
she saw how committed you are to
the Glee Club that you'd show up

616
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,400
in a dress and get beat up over
it.

617
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:15,700
But, you know, it was basically
the way that she delivered the

618
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:19,300
message and the whole thing
about both of us are badasses

619
00:35:19,300 --> 00:35:20,900
and people think nothing hurts
us.

620
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,200
Yeah.
You know, I was sort of like,

621
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,000
you know, all overlooked the,
you know, sort of fuzzy logic

622
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,800
there to be like it.
Yes, You're doing such a good

623
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,900
job at this.
I'm like, yes, I believe this

624
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,400
this belief suspended.
I'm about it.

625
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,100
It's true like this.
I didn't think about it that

626
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:39,600
way.
I just totally bought it, but

627
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,400
you're right.
It is also kind of a little bit

628
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,500
wonky but yeah, I think good
acting really saved it, which

629
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,200
Yeah, I think speaks to no
offense to Jenna or Lea, but I

630
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,400
felt like I was just confused as
to how that all was going down.

631
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,200
Hmm, yes.
Can't.

632
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,500
Well, I guess no.
And I think obviously the

633
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,900
probably the actors in the more
dramatic problem.

634
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,300
You know, storyline had, you
know, probably a heavier load to

635
00:36:07,300 --> 00:36:09,700
lift in some ways.
And this one, although obviously

636
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:12,300
doing impressions of your
castmates is never easy either.

637
00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:16,600
I keep thinking about their
mannerisms and just dying is so

638
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,800
funny.
Although I will say, I did also

639
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:28,100
really appreciate the moment
where Beast walks into shoe and

640
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:30,000
Sue's meeting.
And says, I want to come with

641
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,200
you, and they noticed that she's
carrying a suitcase and she

642
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,200
announces that she left her
husband and it's like one of

643
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,800
very few moments to see where
shoe and Sue agree on something

644
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,400
and just looks on their faces.
Like, oh my God, you actually

645
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,600
did it.
I was like, oh, that gave me

646
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:47,500
again.
That gave me some cathartic

647
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:48,700
feelings.
I didn't think I could get from

648
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:51,700
Glee.
Three of these moments like

649
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:54,600
that, where I am grateful that
they kept some of the adult

650
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,700
plotlines.
I do think season 3 did the best

651
00:36:57,700 --> 00:37:00,200
job.
One of the best jobs of like

652
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:02,500
balancing.
Like having adult storylines

653
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:06,500
that were impactful and
intertwined with the kids to

654
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:10,900
realize and didn't go too far
into fake pregnancy.

655
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Yeah, yeah.
Fuck off.

656
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,100
Yeah, too far into disbelief.
Yeah.

657
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,900
Yeah, definitely.
No, I definitely agree.

658
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:26,300
I think that I think season
three, they really found The

659
00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:30,000
Sweet Spot of balance between,
you know, the adults and kids.

660
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,100
And, you know, obviously they
did have moments in future

661
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:38,600
Seasons where, you know, the
adult storylines were featured,

662
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:41,900
you know, in a good way, but not
quite at the same balance.

663
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:46,200
I think they had in this one.
Yeah, I think, I mean, but I'm

664
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,500
thinking like season for I feel
like the I don't remember much

665
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:54,200
about it but you know, fan being
quote, one of the adults I think

666
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:56,900
serves it.
Well, you know, that he's like

667
00:37:56,900 --> 00:38:01,300
in the adult storylines and it
makes it feel much more relevant

668
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:04,400
and interesting.
It was always hard for them to

669
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,500
do any adult storyline outside
of the kids that was, like,

670
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:12,500
actually made sense or like did
it wasn't just a one-off.

671
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:15,700
I'm thinking of like, The shell
being in that like acapella

672
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:20,100
group and stuff like that.
But basically served us to get

673
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:21,400
Puck on the show.
Yes.

674
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,700
Yeah I didn't even remember that
much.

675
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:28,200
So that's impressive.
He wasn't that embarrassing

676
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,800
archipelago.
Yeah.

677
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,900
The acafellas.
How could anybody forget that?

678
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,400
Don't fit in anymore and I only
remember that because I'm like,

679
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,700
well, that is a horrible pun and
now I'm never going to forget

680
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:40,000
it.
You know, it is Tariq.

681
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:42,600
Can't forget the worst pain
you've ever heard.

682
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:46,800
Okay, so the last kind of
storyline, I guess the see plot

683
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:56,100
in this episode is is a very
2012 thing where Wade / unique

684
00:38:56,100 --> 00:39:00,400
who is the lead vocalist of
vocal adrenaline, who Kurt and

685
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,800
Mercedes have encouraged to step
out and perform as their female

686
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,400
Alter Ego.
Unique is a sensation,

687
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:13,400
obviously, she's so talented and
Sue, who needs.

688
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:16,700
The Glee Club to win Nationals
so she can get the Cheerios

689
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:19,500
back.
Convoluted plot line is

690
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:22,500
convinced that the new
directions also need a

691
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:27,000
cross-dressing lead vocalist and
of course immediately Target

692
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
skirt for this.
Yes.

693
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,600
Because of course, he's gay, why
wouldn't he be down for this?

694
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:38,200
Yeah, that one I can absolutely
picture myself being, you know,

695
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:42,700
when this came out 2012, so I
would have been about 20 years

696
00:39:42,700 --> 00:39:45,800
old and Maybe a little bit less
experience with the world around

697
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,100
me.
I probably could have found this

698
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:51,800
funny back then but watching it
now and 2021 I'm like ooh that's

699
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:56,700
that's a little icky.
Yeah, I remember thinking that

700
00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:59,700
the way they handled unique was
a groundbreaking at the time

701
00:39:59,700 --> 00:40:03,600
which it still may have been.
And you see today watching it,

702
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,400
you're kind of like the he-she
comments and things like that.

703
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,800
Yeah, it's definitely fit into
the theme of using people as

704
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,600
props which Again the jokes
about when she says, oh, and I

705
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,600
ordered a bunch of little people
to come in and help us like

706
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:21,400
which I think they do show up in
another episode or something.

707
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,900
Oh my god, dude.
They, I think they do I unless

708
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:27,100
that was a strange theater
dream.

709
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:31,400
I had in the midst of, you know,
trying to read a script and also

710
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,900
suffering from a high fever.
I don't know.

711
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:35,600
That would be funny if they
didn't do that.

712
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:40,300
That would be funny because she
was like, I can't, I can't I

713
00:40:40,308 --> 00:40:42,600
already paid the deposit.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

714
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,300
Although I We'll say cuz I think
you know, I do agree that having

715
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:51,500
Alex Newell on the show.
I am presenting, you know, in

716
00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:54,000
different, you know, gender
identities was pretty

717
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:57,800
groundbreaking at the time, you
know, I think they definitely

718
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,900
deserve credit for even just
broaching the subject, which I

719
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:02,900
think was a pretty Hot Topic at
that point.

720
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,900
But then, even seeing now,
because I'm also a big fan of

721
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:10,700
Zoe's extraordinary playlist.
Yes, and seeing Alex Newell, and

722
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:12,400
what they've been doing since
then.

723
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,800
You know, it's sort of like,
okay, I'm glad that they had

724
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,500
that springboard.
Yeah, yeah, sort of become who

725
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:22,000
they are now.
Yeah, and I feel like they've

726
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,000
come a long way.
I was kind of struck in these

727
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,800
scenes that like, Alex is acting
was kind of bad.

728
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,000
Is that judgy of me?
Did y'all feel that to?

729
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,500
I was like, oh, but just so
talented.

730
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:36,000
How can you even be mad?
Like, exactly.

731
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,400
No, it's also I remember
watching the Glee project but

732
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:40,500
that was a fun.
Yay.

733
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:44,300
And thinking the same thing, I'm
like, wow, killer voice.

734
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:50,400
But the acting But they knew
what they were getting.

735
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,500
I guess if that's the case,
right?

736
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:58,100
Right, yeah, so Sue's search for
someone to crossdress.

737
00:41:58,100 --> 00:42:04,700
Also, she wants them to do
metal, grinding should do the

738
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:11,100
Flash Dance song, which, that
was ridiculous.

739
00:42:11,100 --> 00:42:12,900
I don't know.
That's all I can say about that.

740
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:17,000
Really the best thing about
that.

741
00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:21,400
Part was how much fun Chris
Colfer looked like he was having

742
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,900
does absolutely true making?
Those Sparks like having his

743
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:29,200
little moment with it.
Yes, it's cold for likes a bit

744
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,400
of danger, he's like throwing
stars.

745
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,600
Nunchucks Metal Sparks.
This is his alley.

746
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:39,700
Yeah but also just the way she's
trying to explain choreography

747
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:48,500
today.
Three, four, five, six.

748
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:57,200
Spark in time with the music?
Yes, it's like, okay, we'll try.

749
00:43:01,100 --> 00:43:03,700
It was, you know, obviously the
premise itself was a little bit

750
00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:06,600
crunchy, but I did love, you
know, just the trying to get

751
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,400
this most outlandish
choreography down, was that did

752
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,300
have me bawling my eyes out
laughing.

753
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,100
I mean is funny and like when
Glee gets those like funny

754
00:43:17,100 --> 00:43:20,300
moments, yes.
Think they get him totally right

755
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,400
now.
They definitely when they, when

756
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,300
they make contact they hit it
out of the park.

757
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:27,200
Yes.
Well, it was like a so funny at

758
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,700
no one's expense.
Everyone got a funny one liner

759
00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:35,500
like reacting to it.
Yeah, it was like it.

760
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:39,100
Hit that sweet spot for musical
theater nerds.

761
00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:43,300
Like us of being a reference to
a musical and it was just, yeah.

762
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,400
Grab it.
I loved it funny.

763
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,100
Brittany line which like we
talked about often on here, like

764
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,300
some of the times Britney's
lines are genuinely funny and

765
00:43:55,300 --> 00:43:59,300
some of them are like that's
like what are you trying to do?

766
00:43:59,300 --> 00:44:03,200
Like she jokes about things like
being raped at camp and stuff,

767
00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:06,100
right?
Yeah, not funny but are saying

768
00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:08,800
that like she took her mask off
because the scars are how you

769
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:16,600
get freckles.
And again, I can see why it's,

770
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,400
you know, a problematic line,
but then going into the Teachers

771
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,800
Lounge later and saying, well,
we're gay.

772
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:28,300
So, if you take this out as a
hate crime, yes, a classic

773
00:44:28,300 --> 00:44:29,800
Santana.
I loved us.

774
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,800
So, well, I'm not completely gay
but I see what you're getting

775
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,000
at.
Just the deadpan.

776
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:45,700
Oh man.
So in the end the the drag /

777
00:44:45,700 --> 00:44:49,800
props storyline as I wrote it in
my notes was kind of convoluted

778
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,500
because I don't know maybe you
guys understood more but I was

779
00:44:53,500 --> 00:44:56,900
like, I said I was watching it
with my wife and Kurt's like oh

780
00:44:56,900 --> 00:44:59,800
I have an idea but then what was
his idea?

781
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:04,600
Just to go film vocal adrenaline
rehearsing I guess and show them

782
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,300
the video that was it I don't
know.

783
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,100
And that leads to the prom.
I don't know.

784
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:12,500
I didn't really understand what
that was.

785
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:14,300
All about.
Someone help me.

786
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,800
What was the point?
Just vocal adrenaline's.

787
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,200
Really good.
So we need to get our act

788
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,200
together.
I guess, I don't know.

789
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:26,800
That sort of seemed to be the
impression that I got because

790
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,100
like, you, I was sort of like
that seems like a plot line that

791
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:30,800
didn't really go much of
anywhere.

792
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,700
Yeah, that was a, we need to
connect this scene to this scene

793
00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:37,200
right now and they still weren't
sure how I laugh.

794
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:42,300
Occurred did wear a very dashing
sneak around outfit though as he

795
00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:45,200
does.
So that was yes.

796
00:45:45,300 --> 00:45:48,400
Measured in hard over here was
like all right, it's served, its

797
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:53,200
purpose very much James Bond,
always looking Suave no matter

798
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,500
what's going on even if it's
totally inappropriate for what

799
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:59,100
he's doing, always always an
excuse to wear a great outfit.

800
00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:01,000
That's my guy.
Yep.

801
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:09,500
Yeah so in the end, Rachel and I
get to sing their duet together.

802
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:42,600
Nothing.
Anyone hears it, you're just

803
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,600
sinking in the empty.
What do you think?

804
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:45,800
Peter?
But they sing.

805
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,100
What a Feeling from Flashdance.
Bring that bring that around and

806
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:53,000
then they go to Nationals.
So I guess, you know, they do

807
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,500
actually talk in this episode.
I just remembered as I'm saying

808
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:58,600
that about the songs they're
going to choose which is like

809
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,600
the most foresight Glee has ever
shown them have for any

810
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:06,100
competition ever.
So and it was trying to

811
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:07,400
choreograph.
Yeah.

812
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,600
Then working on costumes ahead
of time and they actually think

813
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,700
of a set list for the coops
like, wow, you know, and they do

814
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:19,500
so well without with like
clearly, no shown preparation

815
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:21,300
before.
So you know, it's putting a

816
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:23,200
little effort, might change
things this time.

817
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,800
We'll see.
Okay.

818
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,300
Any any pot stuff?
We missed anything you guys

819
00:47:28,300 --> 00:47:31,600
home.
I'm trying to think here.

820
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,100
Is it worth mentioning Puck get
his butt kicked?

821
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:37,400
He really did get fucking raped
this.

822
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:41,600
Stick Nelson has been such a
little side character this

823
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,200
season.
Yes.

824
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:46,300
And I will say that I did feel
bad for puck in this.

825
00:47:46,300 --> 00:47:48,500
I'm like, oh yeah, or bastard
here.

826
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:56,300
I did, I did appreciate the fact
that puck is a character.

827
00:47:56,300 --> 00:48:01,900
I think has been through a lot
and I do think Glee was making

828
00:48:01,900 --> 00:48:06,400
an honest effort to try and wrap
up his plot line, a little bit

829
00:48:07,500 --> 00:48:11,800
and showing his growth and I
mean getting in a fight doesn't

830
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,200
seem like growth on the surface.
I don't know if in generally is,

831
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:19,500
but I was, I did have kind of a
narrative strong.

832
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:22,800
It where he gets back up and I
mean not when he draws the

833
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,100
knife, but, you know, he did get
back up and like wanted to, you

834
00:48:26,107 --> 00:48:30,800
know, didn't want to go out as a
loser, you know, he wanted to

835
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,800
prove to someone that he's not a
loser, not the right way to go

836
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,000
about it.
But I do think since the whole

837
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,600
show, like, started with him
throwing kids, in the dumpster,

838
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,900
Kurt specifically, the fact that
he got thrown in a dumpster kind

839
00:48:45,900 --> 00:48:48,000
of here at the end of his
narrative Arc.

840
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,900
I think, was I think like never
what they were trying to show

841
00:48:50,900 --> 00:48:55,300
some like It was a nice touch.
Yeah, I came full circle in a

842
00:48:55,300 --> 00:48:58,400
way and I will say that.
It also showed some emotional

843
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,600
growth.
What he did his whole duet with

844
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,500
Beast, mmm, with me.
You know, this?

845
00:49:03,700 --> 00:49:04,900
Yeah.
This is somebody who's not a

846
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:08,600
huge Taylor Swift fan, but that,
I think they got exactly the

847
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,300
right message with that song
where it's a little bit.

848
00:49:10,300 --> 00:49:12,800
Like, yeah, you kick my ass but
you know what?

849
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,900
I'm moving on to bigger and
better things now and all you're

850
00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:18,900
ever gonna be is, you know,
Rick, the stick, you know what I

851
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:19,800
mean?
Right.

852
00:49:20,500 --> 00:49:22,100
Yeah, that's not like Rick.
The stick Nelson.

853
00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:24,700
With getting out of Lima or
doing anything with his life.

854
00:49:24,700 --> 00:49:27,400
Like who are you to call someone
a Lima loser?

855
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,700
My dude, dude, you've got a
mullet in 2012, get over

856
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:32,200
yourself.
Right?

857
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,900
Like what big future are you
gonna have a manager at the

858
00:49:35,900 --> 00:49:37,500
Walmart?
Like, that's all you can hope

859
00:49:37,500 --> 00:49:42,200
for having spent six years in
retail.

860
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,900
He is 100% that manager that
takes his job way too seriously.

861
00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:52,100
Yes, definitely.
So, one of the notes I made was

862
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:58,000
just about the The storyline
where so wants Kurt to be in

863
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:02,900
Drag and I don't know the fact
that Blaine is not brought up

864
00:50:02,900 --> 00:50:04,100
at.
All right.

865
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:11,000
It's like hmm this is entirely
on the more effeminate gay I

866
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
think from like Sue's
perspective.

867
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:18,500
Hmm, I don't know it annoyed me.
Yeah, I agree with that and I

868
00:50:18,508 --> 00:50:22,100
know she tried to chalk it up to
the oh, you were Sookie for

869
00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:25,800
Halloween last year.
One, how would you know that?

870
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:31,300
But right now, so what, you
know, I think definitely, you

871
00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:33,300
know, he says, the right things
like just because I'm gay

872
00:50:33,300 --> 00:50:37,300
doesn't mean I'm, you know, down
to do this all the time, you

873
00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:39,400
know, which I can respect.
But yeah, that was something

874
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,800
when I was watching I'm like,
oh, that's it's icky.

875
00:50:42,700 --> 00:50:45,200
Yeah.
And the fact that blame doesn't

876
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,000
even really get any lines of, he
gets like half a line and Mike

877
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,600
some facial expressions.
Yeah out it and it's like Suze

878
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,600
home.
A phobia has been moderate to

879
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,100
mild all the time, you know,
like, she's always got something

880
00:51:01,100 --> 00:51:06,000
to say to someone about their
sexuality and it's like, she

881
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,000
calls them porcelain and it's
just another thing.

882
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,900
Like, yeah, typical Glee.
There's always a plot line that

883
00:51:13,900 --> 00:51:16,400
like actually concerns queer
people in the queer, people

884
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:20,900
don't get to discuss it.
No, like one throwaway line such

885
00:51:20,900 --> 00:51:22,100
bullshit.
Yeah.

886
00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:25,800
Especially with A queer
producer.

887
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:30,900
A queer creator of clear actor
for Sue, another queer actor and

888
00:51:30,900 --> 00:51:34,100
Chris Colfer.
It's sort of like you know, I do

889
00:51:34,100 --> 00:51:35,800
question.
You know what sort of

890
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,400
conversation was had in the
writing room or after that first

891
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,800
read-through it's like guys we
surely want to play this four

892
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,800
laps here because this this
doesn't sound right.

893
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,000
You know what I mean?
Yeah and it almost always is

894
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,900
playful absolutely doing
typically in like dancing all

895
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:53,800
around.
What could have been a good?

896
00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:56,300
A point and not quite Landing
it.

897
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,200
Exactly.
Exactly.

898
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,200
And it's, it's sort of like it's
meant to be a joke, but she

899
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,000
plays it.
So seriously that it's hard to

900
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,600
take it as a joke.
So you know, there needs to be a

901
00:52:07,607 --> 00:52:10,700
balance there and they miss the
mark in this regard.

902
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,300
Yeah.
But also just see, I forget

903
00:52:14,300 --> 00:52:19,500
specifically what she calls her,
but the, she makes an offhanded

904
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:21,300
racial remark in that same
sentence to.

905
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:25,900
I think it's Mercedes like she
calls Kurt, porcelina, and she

906
00:52:25,900 --> 00:52:28,800
calls her something else.
I forget what it's something

907
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,100
about her skin color, all right?
But I was like, ooh, yeah,

908
00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:34,200
that's like where the hell did
that come from?

909
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,800
Yeah.
Suze like nicknames for the kids

910
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,000
or like never like it's always
just straight up.

911
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:46,500
Liang like yeah.
But they again like try to do

912
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:49,500
the self-aware thing in the
episode where, like, while their

913
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:56,400
body swaps, Matthew Morrison as
you know Sue says something

914
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:01,500
about Tina that's kind of racist
and then the response is that's

915
00:53:01,500 --> 00:53:05,500
kind of racist so right right.
Not looking it doesn't make it

916
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:07,500
not true in all the other
scenes, you do it too.

917
00:53:07,700 --> 00:53:09,300
Yes.
And doesn't make it okay for you

918
00:53:09,300 --> 00:53:11,800
to keep doing it.
Yeah, right.

919
00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:13,800
Yeah.
It's sort of like, I don't know

920
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,600
who gave you the permission
here, but this is gonna sit in

921
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,100
that.
Right with some people, I've

922
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:20,800
been to believe that some of
those people are also not the

923
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,700
demographic for the show, but at
the same Time, you know, if

924
00:53:23,700 --> 00:53:26,400
you're looking for a theater
audience, that does tend to be

925
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:30,400
open-minded, but also has a big
queer demographic.

926
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,400
Then it's sort of like, you
know, to what extent are you

927
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,400
alienating.
The people that you want to sit

928
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,000
down and watch every week, you
know what I mean?

929
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:40,800
Yeah.
But they did what they did and

930
00:53:41,500 --> 00:53:43,100
that we're not doing it anymore,
I guess.

931
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,400
And at the time I think a lot of
the perspective was ugly is the

932
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,200
only show on TV doing this
right, split, right.

933
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:51,100
Yeah.
Watching it.

934
00:53:51,100 --> 00:53:52,800
Almost a decade on, it's like
me.

935
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,500
Well, you're not the only one
doing it now.

936
00:53:54,500 --> 00:53:59,800
And here are the problems.
What is a picture is helpful but

937
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,700
only you know, to an extent does
it?

938
00:54:02,700 --> 00:54:05,500
You know, to what extent?
Is it outweighed by problematic

939
00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:06,800
representation?
Yeah.

940
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,500
So true.
It's like, Glee was like the

941
00:54:09,508 --> 00:54:13,800
crumbs that we had at the time.
Oh my God, to be, we kind of had

942
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,500
to be happy with it and it's
like yeah I don't even think at

943
00:54:17,500 --> 00:54:23,000
this point, you know, the terms
like non-binary were even in

944
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,200
common vernacular, I don't even
know if transgender would have

945
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,700
been to some extent.
I'm sure but like not like main,

946
00:54:29,700 --> 00:54:32,800
you know, this was really the
first kind of at least like I

947
00:54:32,808 --> 00:54:36,200
said in my experience seemed
like the first kind of iteration

948
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,400
of putting this on prime-time
television.

949
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:43,600
Television and on Fox, no less.
So, yeah, definitely.

950
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,900
Like we had to be happy with it.
That's actually, that is

951
00:54:47,900 --> 00:54:50,800
something that I find that, I've
studied a little bit about this,

952
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,600
because I find it fascinating
about it is, you know, trans and

953
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:57,300
gender non-conforming
representation in the media.

954
00:54:57,300 --> 00:55:01,200
And really at this was one of
the first representations that,

955
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:07,200
you know, was not, you know,
either play for Laughs or was

956
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,000
not like the out, Deranged
villain because, you know, it's

957
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,500
great that well no, it's not
great but you know, up until

958
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:17,300
then you've got who do you have
Buffalo Bill and Norman Bates?

959
00:55:17,300 --> 00:55:20,600
And it's like well, you know,
but it's also not necessarily

960
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,300
played all the time for tragedy.
Obviously we see unique

961
00:55:24,300 --> 00:55:27,100
struggling with her identity and
with bullying and things like

962
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:29,300
that.
But it's also not, you know,

963
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,200
Transamerica or Boys, Don't Cry
where it's all about, you know,

964
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,400
eventually somebody getting
beaten up or killed for who they

965
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:36,900
are, you know what I mean,
right?

966
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:43,000
That's true.
I got really deep on a podcast

967
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,800
about Glee.
I did not expect this, you know,

968
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:51,100
sometimes I know I did Glee's
the one that started talking

969
00:55:51,100 --> 00:55:54,300
about things like domestic
violence and school shootings

970
00:55:54,300 --> 00:55:56,900
and where the yeah, they started
it.

971
00:55:58,100 --> 00:55:59,500
At least a grassy.
Never pretended.

972
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:05,400
To be a musical comedy track.
I mean, I mean that if they did

973
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,600
I miss that episode.
Okay, well, I guess all there's

974
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,300
left to do so About our
favorites here at the end.

975
00:56:12,300 --> 00:56:14,100
Did you guys have a favorite
song?

976
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:49,500
Definitely, Tina solo.
Because you love me.

977
00:56:52,100 --> 00:56:59,300
Yes, I would probably also say
Tina solo for being obviously

978
00:56:59,300 --> 00:57:02,900
showing off a great voice that
had not been used as prominently

979
00:57:02,900 --> 00:57:05,400
as it had previously.
So definitely Tina solo.

980
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:09,600
I would go with.
This wasn't like some episodes

981
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,700
of Glee or just like non-stop
back-to-back song.

982
00:57:12,700 --> 00:57:15,900
Yes, I didn't feel like one.
Yeah.

983
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:19,100
So even like at the what I was
like making my notes trying to

984
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:20,900
think.
What song is my favorite?

985
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,800
It's kind of like my Them were
like super fun.

986
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,200
Yeah, I definitely appreciated
Jenna's solo, just more the

987
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,500
Unicorn that have is in the Glee
music catalog.

988
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,900
Agreed, there was no Don't Stop
Believin in this one right?

989
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,200
You know, I will say I did
really enjoy mean just for the,

990
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,500
you know, one because it's like,
oh Beast is singing.

991
00:57:44,500 --> 00:57:47,900
That's doesn't happen much, but,
you know, also, I thought, you

992
00:57:47,900 --> 00:57:50,100
know, the point they were trying
to make it pretty well.

993
00:57:50,100 --> 00:57:54,100
So, you know, but agreed, I
gotta go with the solo number on

994
00:57:54,100 --> 00:57:56,500
this one.
Yes, because you loved me.

995
00:57:56,500 --> 00:57:59,200
Yeah.
I as I, after I asked you guys,

996
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:00,900
I was like, wait, what?
Even are the songs in this?

997
00:58:00,900 --> 00:58:03,600
Is there really aren't that
many, there's only four.

998
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:08,200
Have to verify with myself
because like I said, true, yeah,

999
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,200
there's only four.
So yeah, I got to agree with you

1000
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,300
guys Tina's solos.
Definitely the best one.

1001
00:58:12,300 --> 00:58:13,700
I will say.
The Flashdance.

1002
00:58:13,700 --> 00:58:17,200
What a Feeling was fun to listen
to Performance certificate.

1003
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,200
Just inspired.
Yeah, but that was fun that they

1004
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,000
did that little nod to
Flashdance.

1005
00:58:23,300 --> 00:58:25,200
Yes.
Okay.

1006
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:31,300
Favorite lines.
Oh, and I had one and I just

1007
00:58:31,300 --> 00:58:32,300
lost it.
Come back to me.

1008
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:36,700
Okay.
So I've I gotta say like for

1009
00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:41,900
the, the funny Factor Brittany
and her delivery of the freckles

1010
00:58:41,900 --> 00:58:45,200
line, I can't see this helmet.
I took mine off metal spikes in

1011
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,000
your face, is how you get
freckles and just I don't know.

1012
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,700
I maybe that's what I didn't
remember.

1013
00:58:49,700 --> 00:58:52,100
Like much about that saying, but
it actually made me laugh.

1014
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:54,000
So that one's got a win.
Yes.

1015
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:59,200
Also Beast In the scene where
she's holding the knife.

1016
00:59:00,100 --> 00:59:03,400
I don't know, just like
everything about, but that yes.

1017
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:08,000
Just like a special.
Honorable mention for me, you

1018
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,300
know, I would say yeah,
definitely, the Beast lied about

1019
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:13,800
again.
I'm going to butcher the exact

1020
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,700
wording but it's if I can't
taking you back.

1021
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:18,300
What does that say?
About me is definitely the most

1022
00:59:18,300 --> 00:59:22,000
poignant.
And then also Sue has a really

1023
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,500
quick, you know, just throwaway
line where it's Beast asks, if

1024
00:59:26,500 --> 00:59:31,900
she can come to Chicago with
them and Sue says, you expect me

1025
00:59:31,908 --> 00:59:34,000
to share my room.
I have an executive maternity

1026
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,600
Suite.
You don't want to wake the baby.

1027
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:39,900
Yeah, just the way she says it
was perfect.

1028
00:59:43,900 --> 00:59:45,800
Yes, I forgot about.
That's funny.

1029
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,400
It's just the quickest little
thing.

1030
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,300
At the end of that immediately
gets overshadowed by be saying,

1031
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:54,600
she left Cooter.
Which again, I don't know where

1032
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,100
the name comes from but cougar
the recruiter.

1033
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,500
Sure, let's go with that.
We had something else in my high

1034
01:00:02,500 --> 01:00:03,700
school.
I don't know, I know.

1035
01:00:03,700 --> 01:00:05,200
Yeah, no definitely.
No.

1036
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:08,000
We've decided they picked it
because it Rhymes in his there.

1037
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:13,300
Tupid, I will say my little
claim chipper heart, I forgot

1038
01:00:13,300 --> 01:00:15,500
this was the episode where they
do the.

1039
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:17,700
They show them
trick-or-treating, which is like

1040
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,000
such a piece of gold back in
2012.

1041
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:25,500
We were so starved for any claim
content, it felt like there was

1042
01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:29,000
more here than I remember
feeling like there was before,

1043
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,600
but I did not expect it.
Be in this episode.

1044
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,500
And so and it came on I like
screen.

1045
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:40,600
I like that's because what a
like Little slice of like what a

1046
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,500
thing that says so much about
those two people as characters

1047
01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:46,800
that they're in high school
going trick-or-treating and

1048
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,600
elaborate Halloween costumes but
that's clearly handmade.

1049
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,100
And it just made me really happy
and I didn't expect that.

1050
01:00:54,100 --> 01:00:58,800
So both of their lines are just
ridiculous in that scene and I

1051
01:00:58,808 --> 01:01:00,100
love it.
Yeah.

1052
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,300
I because I am the dinosaur that
still on Tumblr.

1053
01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:07,100
That is one of the only things
that makes its way across my

1054
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:11,600
gosh.
Every like, oh, like no matter

1055
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,900
how rarely I see Glee stuff on
there anymore.

1056
01:01:15,100 --> 01:01:17,400
Somehow someone is going to
share that.

1057
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:21,100
Yes, I love it.
I love it and it's also just

1058
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:24,300
sort of like I mean maybe I'm
only speaking for myself here

1059
01:01:24,300 --> 01:01:27,800
but you know being 17 years old,
as I think they're supposed to

1060
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,000
be in that scene, my mother
would not have permitted me to

1061
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:30,900
trigger.
That point.

1062
01:01:30,900 --> 01:01:33,600
So I'm like, oh just having
somebody to, you know, make

1063
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,900
these ridiculous costumes with
and hold hands while we go

1064
01:01:36,900 --> 01:01:40,000
trick-or-treating at at the age
of 17 was like, yes, this is

1065
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:41,700
what I want in life.
Yes.

1066
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:47,200
Yeah I know just such like a
sweet like it's innocent, right?

1067
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:48,600
Exactly.
Yeah.

1068
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,700
Just like having fun for the
sake of having fun and like

1069
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:55,100
something like dressing up,
elaborately such a thing that

1070
01:01:55,100 --> 01:01:56,900
makes sense for both of them as
characters.

1071
01:01:56,900 --> 01:01:59,300
And it's like yeah we should
have seen more of this all the

1072
01:01:59,300 --> 01:02:03,200
time like they should I've had
enough Chris Colfer himself

1073
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,700
actually is like really famous
for his Halloween costume is

1074
01:02:05,707 --> 01:02:07,400
actually Darren Criss is a
little bit too.

1075
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,200
So yeah, little Glee is not a
documentary moment, I guess.

1076
01:02:12,500 --> 01:02:13,900
Okay?
So the last thing is our Coulda

1077
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:18,100
Shoulda Woulda.
So, What do we wish that had

1078
01:02:18,100 --> 01:02:19,400
been different?
This episode?

1079
01:02:19,900 --> 01:02:24,400
I would have wished that some of
the I think some of what we were

1080
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,600
talking about there that the
language and representation

1081
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,200
around the queer, people should
have been a little bit more

1082
01:02:31,300 --> 01:02:34,500
tactful, but knowing that Glee
is what it is.

1083
01:02:34,500 --> 01:02:36,500
Perhaps.
That's a that's a little too

1084
01:02:36,500 --> 01:02:38,200
pie-in-the-sky.
Mmm.

1085
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:43,200
Mine is pretty buying this guy
to considering like that.

1086
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:47,100
They were never going to
actually do this but that It had

1087
01:02:47,100 --> 01:02:52,100
like Jenna Tina storyline.
I'm did with her like

1088
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,500
backtracking and supporting
Rachel and she had actually

1089
01:02:54,500 --> 01:03:01,800
gotten like yes yes I'm read.
What about yours be?

1090
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:08,700
Yes, I got ya.
I got to say.

1091
01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:10,800
I agree with that too.
I feel like there was such a

1092
01:03:10,808 --> 01:03:16,200
strong start to Tina storyline
and it I hate when storylines in

1093
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,500
with but Rachel very special and
that mountains like that's just

1094
01:03:20,500 --> 01:03:24,200
a always been an annoyance for
me and this one particularly

1095
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,700
ending up that way when This
should have been a point for

1096
01:03:28,700 --> 01:03:32,900
Rachel Berry to like learn a
lesson for real in her life and

1097
01:03:33,700 --> 01:03:36,200
annoying.
Very annoying, definitely.

1098
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,200
It was a moment that could have
been her being taken down a peg

1099
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,400
that would have been very
cathartic.

1100
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,500
I think for a lot of people but
you know what it is what it is,

1101
01:03:45,500 --> 01:03:48,500
we didn't quite get it, that's
okay.

1102
01:03:48,900 --> 01:03:51,300
They're so there's so much more
that's going to happen to around

1103
01:03:51,300 --> 01:03:53,100
that storyline.
That's gonna bother me even more

1104
01:03:53,100 --> 01:03:55,900
so.
Well, you've it okay.

1105
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:00,600
Okay so the Kevin mix scale is
our is our rank out of five on

1106
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:07,700
how much Kevin shines in this
episode, Kevin McHale a lot to

1107
01:04:07,700 --> 01:04:15,000
do in it but he does have a
ponytail so yeah hilarious so

1108
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:22,700
maybe like a 1-1 Kevin 20% Kevin
okay one out of five it slides

1109
01:04:22,700 --> 01:04:24,100
is good.
One is bad right?

1110
01:04:24,100 --> 01:04:27,900
Yeah exactly five Kev.
This is like he's got the a plot

1111
01:04:27,900 --> 01:04:32,300
and a solo and gotcha.
So we go from there.

1112
01:04:32,500 --> 01:04:34,400
Same thing with the, the cleaned
X.

1113
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,900
So that one's out of 10 for
funsies.

1114
01:04:37,300 --> 01:04:41,700
So 10 is like they kiss.
And they soloed saying at each

1115
01:04:41,700 --> 01:04:44,600
other and they had a plot line
where they, you know, and other

1116
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,800
one is like, I don't know.
They were there.

1117
01:04:48,900 --> 01:04:52,200
This one's hard, because do you
count the body swap time as

1118
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,300
claim?
Ooh, I mean if we count what But

1119
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,600
Huck and fended portraying claim
writing.

1120
01:04:59,700 --> 01:05:01,800
That's pretty high.
Because I mean, we got some

1121
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,600
like, full-on cuddling in the
choir room.

1122
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,000
Yeah.
There were two different dates

1123
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,200
featured in this episode.
They went trick-or-treating

1124
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,100
together and they were at the
mall together just hanging out

1125
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,300
because to me it's like we are
talking Finn together.

1126
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:18,700
Is there a couple named pin or
is it?

1127
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:20,100
It's definitely fuck.
It's got it.

1128
01:05:20,100 --> 01:05:23,200
Okay?
Just making sure No, I think

1129
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,700
Tumblr probably called it pin
because you couldn't find

1130
01:05:25,700 --> 01:05:28,400
anything if you look and was
100% shit.

1131
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:32,900
Fuck.
Yeah I would say if fuck counts

1132
01:05:32,900 --> 01:05:36,900
is clean, then you probably
could put it a little above

1133
01:05:36,900 --> 01:05:41,300
five, maybe a sex or so but
otherwise I'd be hard-pressed to

1134
01:05:41,300 --> 01:05:42,400
put it over a three.
Maybe?

1135
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,200
Okay.
So maybe we compromise would

1136
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,700
call like a for-sure middle.
Yeah.

1137
01:05:47,700 --> 01:05:50,400
Till then you can't ya because
it's debatable.

1138
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,600
It's true plane versus fuck you
decide.

1139
01:05:57,700 --> 01:06:00,800
Well, the body swap is so hard
to because it's like is it just

1140
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,700
the actor playing a different
character?

1141
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:04,800
Or is it like the actor being
the character playing?

1142
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,000
The other character?
Like, how deep does it go?

1143
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,200
I don't know.
What if he giving lie too?

1144
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:11,900
Much credit to think they put
that much.

1145
01:06:13,300 --> 01:06:15,800
Yes.
No, you're absolutely correct.

1146
01:06:18,900 --> 01:06:22,600
Oh, anything else we missed
anything else.

1147
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:28,100
You guys want to add?
Let's remake a movie on Spotify

1148
01:06:28,100 --> 01:06:29,800
or anywhere you listen to your
podcast.

1149
01:06:29,900 --> 01:06:30,900
That's right.
Yes.

1150
01:06:30,900 --> 01:06:33,900
Shawn is been such a fucking
Delight to have you on.

1151
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,500
We gotta have Blackie here.
Yeah, I would love to and I'd

1152
01:06:37,500 --> 01:06:40,300
love to have you guys on to do a
movie mashup.

1153
01:06:40,300 --> 01:06:42,500
I know we've been discussing
some sort of musical version

1154
01:06:42,500 --> 01:06:46,700
perhaps of Silence of the Lambs
but we'll talk to fix ya.

1155
01:06:46,700 --> 01:06:49,800
A little little teaser guys, you
should go follow let's remake a

1156
01:06:49,808 --> 01:06:52,800
movie because you might see some
familiar names and voices on

1157
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,700
there.
Soon making a fun Mash.

1158
01:06:55,700 --> 01:06:59,600
Yeah, I noticed you guys haven't
done many or any musicals yet

1159
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:05,000
but you know, keep keep some in
mind where your resident of your

1160
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:06,800
well, and you, of course, as
well.

1161
01:07:06,900 --> 01:07:10,900
Of course, it seems like there's
not enough of your your

1162
01:07:10,900 --> 01:07:13,400
influence, you know what?
Shawn next time you guys do an

1163
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,600
episode that I wanted you like,
but what if it was a musical?

1164
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,100
Like I think that should be your
thing.

1165
01:07:18,900 --> 01:07:24,200
No Pitch Perfect with something
absolutely amazing.

1166
01:07:25,700 --> 01:07:29,300
Something about in college.
Yes, I am literally at.

1167
01:07:29,300 --> 01:07:32,300
So one of my co-host is Laura,
I'm literally at her house right

1168
01:07:32,300 --> 01:07:33,600
now.
So I'm going to walk out this

1169
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,900
door and tell her what I deserve
more credit, but to way to do

1170
01:07:36,900 --> 01:07:38,800
Pitch Perfect with something
because that is brilliant.

1171
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:43,600
Yes, you will have two very
excited listeners waiting for

1172
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,400
