Episode 3.10 - Yes/No/Maybe So

Somewhere between My Girl impersonations and engagement ring critiques, Erica and Emily dive swim cap-first into the non-peed-in pool that was Yes/No, an episode that tore us apart like a cheese steak being eaten by Shane. Look, we wouldn’t make fat jokes if Glee didn’t seem so hateful of fat people, what with their ban on allowing Mercedes to don a swimsuit. Unless it’s a black thing, at which point we’re even MORE offended. Anyway, it’s a dramatic episode from every direction and we haven’t even begun to discuss its depiction of the military. Listen hard and let us know your thoughts at gleekast@gmail.com or on our forums at palavr.com. We want to hear your theories on McKinley’s pool policy, Will’s lame bachelor party in the making, and why exactly is I’m With Shane the new law of the land. 

Episode 3.9 - A Christmas Divided, Then United by Sexting

Ho ho holiday special! Erica and Emily act as the ghosts of Christmas past to bring you belated coverage of An Extraordinary Merry Christmas, aka The Episode That Divided The House of GleeKast. Listen as Erica justifies Artie’s Lucasian vision and Rory’s bedtime story, while Emily huffs and puffs in a respectful manner. The stakes are raised in debate, but thankfully soothed by the promise of Yankee Candle’s My Favorite Things limited edition scents, all described in tempting sniffs by Erica’s nose. We’ll be back with timely (maybe) episodes now that the hiatus is over, so keep the emails coming to gleekast@gmail.com or discuss away at our palavr.com forums. Most importantly, don’t forget to check out the sure to be outstanding Lifetime Original Sexting In Suburbia, airing Saturday the 14th. We have no idea why, but it just sounds amazing.

Episode 3.8 - Just A Cup-Pa Lectures

This episode of GleeKast is brought to you by The Plague. The Plague: keeping civilization from reaching its potential since civilization was born. In other news, a dying Emily and a recovering from dying Erica team up to bring you coverage on Hold On To 16, aka the episode that involves Sectionals, meerkat faces, contrived Asian arcs, and Quinn getting lectured. A lot. We leave you with the question of what the world needs now: doctors or dancers? Since Emily is dying, she says doctors, but that's beside the point. Send feedback to gleekast@gmail.com and party on the Palavr.com boards, plague-free since 2010.

Episode 3.7 - Love Triangles & Lesbian Chins

Clawing their way back from the grave, Erica and Emily return with the help of special guest star Fozziebare of The Podcast Podcast to discuss I Kissed A GiIrl And I Liked It, which we kinda liked to varying degrees. We also catch up on ancient feedback (like fine wine or Dennis Quaid, it gets better with age), delve into Community's gleeful hopefully not-finale, and argue about the merits/drawbacks of half-sweaters and abuelitas. OBVIOUSLY, we dedicate this episode to Dolly Parton and the sure-to-be-the-greatest-movie-since-Burlesque, Joyful Noise. We still have 2 more episodes to cover before Glee returns, so feel free to send any and all past-due feedback togleekast@gmail.com or visit our forums at palavr.com.

Happy New Year everyone and remember, joyful...joyful noise.

Episode 3.6 - The Slap Heard 'Round the Hall

You think YOU’RE angry that GleeKast has been on hiatus? Well apparently the Internet is PISSED OFF which explains why Erica’s wireless connection launched an all-out war on this episode, a war in which Emily’s cats soon became its evil allies. But elsewhere, the ladies discuss Mash/Off and try to not remember the fact that we’ve all already seen the episode that came after it. It was stressful. The English language was abused and Erica said the C word first, while Emily revealed her college acceptance may have been tainted. We had to end early due to the Internet acting like an asshole, so we saved some feedback for the next episode (hearts and thanks and sorries Nigel & Terri-Anne!) which will hopefully not happen 7 years from now. Remember to visit us and others at palavr.com, especially in this interim where time hates us. Send your feedback (which we’ll read promptly!) to gleekast@gmail.com and follow us on Twitter to become a better person (@ericasKNITS and @deadlydolls).

Episode 3.5 - When You're in a Wheelchair, You Make Virgin Sacrifices

GleeKast goes back to the bottle with a very wine sponsored episode, wherein Erica and Emily sit down face to face to ramble through First Time, aka the episode where virgins are sacrificed in the name of good high school musical theater and Puerto Rican accents are slaughtered in the name of awesome. Expect lots of mooing over Blaine's adorable dancing, hmming over Tina's Brady dressing, and cursing over Sebastian's evil cunting. Then have more wine, cause it's really great. Email us your thoughts (or wine) at gleekast@gmail.com and party at our forums over at palavr.com. It's BYOW of course, and if you're nervous, I hear Hawaii makes some really great fake IDs. Aloha!

Episode 3.4 - I'm the LEPrechaun

Pour yourself a sweet bowl of all-marshmallow Lucky Charms for the triumphant (again) return of GleeKast (again)! Erica and Emily dust off their gold shoe buckles for Pot O' Gold, discussing such hard-hitting subjects as Puck's abs, Tina's Marcia Brady wardrobe, and the mechanics of special education. Along the way, the ladies dabble in more current topics that include Erica's fantasy football troubles and Emily's leaky shower. We hope the sound is a little cleaner this week thanks to a donated microphone from the magnanimous Fozzie Bare of the Podcast Podcast. In fact, the mike is so magic that it picks up some extra happenings in Emily's apartment, including power drilling and the ubiquitous blasts of tunes from next door. As always, send your feedback togleekast@gmail.com or party on the forums at palavr.com. And if you think you're too good for either of those things, expect to have your face eaten off by a leprechaun. Tata!
