Episode 5.8 - Infinite Santa 8000 & Joyful Noise

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Sun, 15 Dec 2013 00:00:00 -0500

Haul out the holly for a double shot of holiday fun. First up, Erica and Emily head to the future to discuss animation in the post-apocalypse with Infinite Santa 8000. After much merriment with cyborgs and mechanical reindeer, the ladies head to the sunnier south with the surprisingly NON-holiday themed Joyful Noise, starring none other than the Goddess of All Things Ever, Dolly Parton. It's also about Asbergers. And the economy. And heart conditions. In other words, fun for your December! Head to our Facebook page to share you love of all things Dolly and to learn more about where to find Infinite Santa 8000. Merry Hanaxmaswa to all!

Episode 5.7 - The Nutcracker 3D

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Sun, 1 Dec 2013 00:21:00 -0500

Chestnuts are roasting and eggnog is toasting on our special holiday edition of GleeKast. Erica and Emily open the studio to special guest star Santa Claus, aka Fozziebare the Great himself. The trio team up to tackle 2009's Nutcracker: The Untold Story, aka The Nutcracker In 3D, aka The Weirdest $90 Million Ever Spent. Join Elle Fanning, Richard E. Grant, John Turturo, and Nathan Lane as they deal with creepy CGI heroes, steampunk decor, Madonna's discarded wardrobe, Andy Warhol haircuts, crying children, dead sharks, singing Albert Einsteins, figure skating, decapitation, original songs (sorta), and a thinly veiled metaphor for Holocaust gas chambers. It's EXACTLY what every children's Christmas movie needs!

Episode 5.6 - The Fast and the Furious

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:00:00 -0500

Taking a break from traditional song and dance format, Erica tries to convince Emily that The Fast & the Furious franchise is like a series of musicals with cars standing in for performances. Or something. The point is, it's The Fast & the Furious when articles and linking words were still cool. The ladies discuss it. Discuss back on our Facebook page or email us gleekast@gmail.com. Now if you'll excuse us, we need to go fill up on NOS.

Episode 5.5 - Cannibal! The Musical

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Hop on your finest horse and join us for a very shbadoinkle episode as Erica and Emily tackle Trey Parker's 1993 horror/musical/comedy Cannibal! The Musical. Much is discussed about Erica's history with the South Park crew, as well as Emily's inability to just BUILD a snowman unless it can be done to the music from this movie. We also talk about some new fall TV, including American Horror Story. And just cause, there's some Buffy talk. Just. Cause. Hit us up on our Facebook group or email gleekast@gmail.com. As always, have a shbadoinkle day.

Episode 5.4 - RENT

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 15 Oct 2013 00:00:00 -0400

There is no future. There is no past. Unless you're Erica and remember EVERYTHING about the stage production of Rent and how it differs from Chris Columbus' 2005 film adaptation. The ladies have a passionate discussion about the original show, disappointing film, and 2008 video recording of the final Broadway performance. Expect to feel very, very old. Share your hipster ranting over at our Facebook page or email gleekast@gmail.com. We'll be in our rocking chairs, pointing our canes at those lazy youths of America with all the fire of tax-paying citizens.

Episode 5.3 - Jesus Christ Superstar

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 1 Oct 2013 00:00:00 -0400

It’s a two for one sale on this installment of GleeKast as Erica and Emily tackle two versions of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar. First up is Norman Jewison’s 1973 film adaptation (available on Netflix Instant), followed by the 2000 London video recording of the stage show (free on YouTube). As you’d expect, there’s also talk about hats, Raelians, and The Rachel. Share your thoughts over at our Facebook group where we shall greet you in our finest bell bottoms.

Episode 5.2 - Repo! The Genetic Opera

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Sun, 15 Sep 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Shoot up your zydrate (it comes in a little glass vial) and put on your prettiest detachable face as Erica and Emily plunge into the future with 2008’s horror musical, Repo! Between Paris Hilton’s surprising acting chops and Paul Sorvino’s operatic tenor, it’s something very, very different. We also have quite a history with the show, so expect some personal anecdotes that just might involve the world’s rudest waiter at a fondue restaurant. We’re quite curious how the movie works for you, so be sure to share your thoughts over on our Facebook group. We promise not to pull your organs out. At least, for now.

Episode 5.1 - Step Up (4) Revolution

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Sun, 1 Sep 2013 00:00:00 -0400

With the Miami heat seeping through Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows, Erica and Emily slip into some baggy pants and high top sneakers for the fourth installment of the ‘80s dance movie craze that has been reborn as Step Up. This time, it’s about a REVOLUTION. And white people romance. But let’s face it: we came here for Moose, and Moose is what we’ve got. This is our first episode with our new non-Glee format, so we hope the joy of dance overrides the mess of Ryan Murphy’s head. Tell us what you think on our Facebook group and when in doubt, just do the robot.

Episode 4.22 - Highs, Lows & Lower Lows

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:14:00 -0400

As promised, Erica and Emily return to finish up Season 4 with a recap of All Or Nothing, plus a rundown of their top and bottom performances of the year. This is indeed The Announcement Episode, so listen closely for details about what you can expect starting in the fall. We hope you’ll hitch your tap shoes to the New Directions of the podcast. Be sure to share your suggestions and discussions over at our Facebook page or email gleekast@gmail.com. We also hope you never again have to witness the atrocities of the show’s sole Asian singing Gangham Style. That is all.

Episdoe 4.21 - Wonder-Cats

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:13:00 -0400

It only took us 2.5 months, but Erica and Emily finally reunite to discuss the penultimate episode of Season 4, Wonder Dash Full, as well as the troubles of live-watching Pretty Little Liars, the Kate Issue of Angel, and the apparent joy of My Cat From Hell. We also take some time to discuss the tragedy of Cory Montheith and how Glee might move forward. And then Emily’s cats start to play and that’s that. We’ll be back next week to finish up Season 4 with our top and bottom song lists, plus our big announcement of GleeKast’s future (hint: it’s not GleeCats. OR IS IT?). Join the discussion at our Facebook group and keep those socks light blue.

Episode 4.20 - So Much Arc it Became A Circle

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:13:00 -0400

Well, the guns are concealed but the issues keep coming. This week, Erica and Emily attempt to unravel the oddness of Lights Out, from its Broadway tie-ins to its sexual abuse AND ballet PSAs. Also, Pretty Little Liars is amazing and you all should try it out. Join the discussion on our Facebook page or email us your thoughts at gleekast@gmail.com. But don’t, because we should all turn off our electronic devices or something. Mixed messages galore!

Episode 4.19 - Steampunk Tina, Black Sue & Syphilis

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:12:00 -0400

If your “Sweet Dreams” happened to include syphilis and Smash, then welcome!, for you’ve come to the right place. Between discussing the surprisingly impressive Broadway chops of Constantine Maroulis and the shockingly creepy trend of pointed fingernails, Erica and Emily do what they can with the latest episode of Glee. Thoughts? Feelings? Candy? Send them all to gleekast@gmail.com or pop into our Facebook group to discuss. Now iron up yourself a griled cheese sandwich and join the fun.

Episode 4.18 - They Named This Episode Shooting Star

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:11:00 -0400

Between anger and bafflement lies something called The Twilight Zone, aka this week's episode of GleeKast and Erica and Emily struggle to find the tubbington at the end of the occasionally offensive tunnel. Yes, this is the pseudo-school shooting episode of Glee, and, well, feelings are complicated. We're aided by some feedback, the joys of RuPaul's Drag Race (watch it!) and the ultimate capper in recasting Game of Thrones with McKinley High's Student Body. Teri Shuester as Cersai Lannister? Really, why not (especially if it means not discussing the fact that BECKY JACKSON BROUGHT A GUN TO SCHOOL. Shiver. Discuss it all on our Facebook page or email us at gleekast@gmail.com. Until next we meet or catfish, the ladies of GleeKast

Episode 4.17 - Shut Up, Tina

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:11:00 -0400

With just six episodes left of its experimental cross-country season, Glee tiptoes into some definition of guilty pleasures, giving Erica and Emily ample opportunity to point out what are actually not guilty pleasures, although Erica crushing on Sam in armbands does indeed qualify. They're aided and abetted by some fine listener feedback, even if Emily apparently forgot how to read or speak. We'll be back in a few weeks with Glee's remaining episodes, but expect the last breaths of Smash talk to happen over at our Facebook page. Long live Jinkx Monsoon and a valar morghulis to all!

Episode 4.16 - Twin Gleeks

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:10:00 -0400

Buckle up for a creeeeeeeepy edition of GleeKast, as Erica and Emily fight club their way through some strange editing choices made in Feud. Also on the queue is Erica finally explaining (to Emily's understanding) the difference between Once Upon a Time and Grimm. It takes a lot longer than you'd think. For more discussion/explanation of how these two shows are actually not the same thing, come chat it up on our Facebook group or email us at gleekast@gmail.com.

Episode 4.15 - They Ghosted Wrong

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:10:00 -0400

Load up the pottery wheel and clean that attic to find your boombox for this week's edition of GleeKast, where Erica and Emily discuss Girls and Boys On Film. Also on the docket is the glory of RuPaul's Drag Race and the horrors of Smash. Share your thoughts on all this and more over at our Facebook page or send your email to gleekast@gmail.com. Remember, we are the dramaturgs of Glee, and with that power comes great responsibility. Now back to ghosting.

Episode 4.14 - I Don't

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:09:00 -0400

On this rare in-the-same-room recording, Erica and Emily share breathing space to tackle another episode in which old flames are reignited, new couples are made based on dice rolling, and plot twists are turned just to cause added confusion.There's also more than a bit of RuPaul discussion, because really, why wouldn't there be? PLEASE join the conversations over at our Facebook page or email us at gleekast@gmail.com to discuss the latest episodes. Or to talk about how every television show should be RuPaul's Drag Race. Whichever.

Episode 4.13 - You Sexy Vicks-en

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:08:00 -0400

It’s a lean and mean episode this week as Erica and Emily dive quickly into Diva, with a few quick stops along The Office and Project Runway. Along the way, they discuss Erica’s hatred of Alicia Keys, Emily’s annoyance with Katherine McPhee, and just what it takes to be Freddie Mercury (namely, being Freddie Mercury). Send your feedback to gleekast@gmail.com or join the party on our Facebook page, where magic happens.

Episode 4.12 - Barely Naked Ladies

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:08:00 -0400

Another episode of Glee, another unhappy Erica and confused Emily it is! The ladies tackle Naked and how it seems to hate nudity. Also on the menu is RuPaul's Drag Race recaps and DVR hatred. Discuss it all on our Facebook page or email us at gleekast@gmail.com. Until next we meet. Now put your clothes back on.

Episode 4.11 - Nothing But a Cat on a Unicycle

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:07:00 -0400

The ladies find their Sadie Hawkins spirit by delving scrub-first into Sadie Hawkins. Though really, they'd rather be watching youtube videos of cats riding unicycles. Also included is a spoilery 5 minute or so discussion on American Horror Story, so grab your does eof Nazi doctors, possessed nuns, headbands, legal scandals based on rear ends, and acapella scandals all in one place. We apologize for the rushiness of this episode, but please head over to our Facebook page to share everything we missed. Just try not to steal our arrangements. It's not illegal or anything, but the public doesn't like it.

Episode 4.10 - Brooches, Actually

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:06:00 -0400

It's December again in the Gleekastverse as Erica and Emily finally get around to discussing Glee's fourth Christmas/Chanukah/Annual Sue Change of Heart Episode. And yes, we still hate Marley. Share your thoughts at gleekast@gmail.com or join the party on our facebook page. Even librarians are welcome!

Episode 4.9 - Divided We Encore

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:06:00 -0400

Pull out your scorecards for one of GleeKast's more combative outings as Erica takes the offensive and Emily attempts to defend Swan Song for its blatant abuse of logic. Somehow Erica forgets that McKinley High exists in the kind of universe where two seemingly intelligent high school seniors only applied to one college with no safety schools or that its highest paid faculty member physically assaults teenagers on a weekly basis. Or is it that Emily has drank Ryan Murphy's questionably flavored Kool-Aid, thus rendering her vulnerable to his writing staff's bamboozling bag of tricks? Weigh in on our Facebook page or email us at gleekast@gmail.com. The lines have been drawn.

Episode 4.8 - In Shangela We Trust

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:05:00 -0400

On this rather breezy edition of GleeKast, Erica and Emily sail through the highs and lows of Thanksgiving (hint: the highs involve drag queens and the lows involve a certain eating disorder and adorably misguided racism). You can almost say we have a Kiki over the whole thing, only with rougher choreography and more cats. Send your feedback in to gleekast@gmail.com or join the better choreographed Kiki over at our Facebook group. There still might be cats though.

Episode 4.7 - The Super Cee-Lo Edition

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:04:00 -0400

Masks and lycra firmly in place, Erica and Emily fly their way through Dynamic Duets or Duos or whatever the Why Did They Air This On Thanksgiving? episode was called. Actually, they kinda liked it, but you can piece stuff like that together by listening to the episode. Oh, and Marley still sucks and someone needs to sing Cool Rider from Grease 2 before Emily explodes. Agree with us on our Facebook group or send email to gleekast@gmail.com. Happy Thanksgiving, as if ANYONE AT FOX CARES.

Episode 4.6 - With More Grease Comes More Poop Jokes

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:04:00 -0400

They don't make it easy for us, do they. Erica and Emily begrudgingly slip into their Pink Ladies jackets for another round of copycat choreography and stupid character choices, at least until the last few minutes flicker some hope yet. We close on a nifty round of widely diverse feedback that happily reminds us there are others out there that are both just like us and not at all anywhere near like us. We like that! Send it on over to gleekast@gmail.com or join the party at our Facebook group.

Episode 4.5 - Hoplessly Annoyed With You

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:03:00 -0400

Oh,Glee. Why do you make it so hard sometimes? That's what Erica and Emily wonder in this week's episode, where the ladies discuss The Role You Were Born To Play while fighting off cat attacks, viewing frustration, and the fact that Finn Hudson should just not be allowed to speak ever. Also on the agenda is a quick detailing of a few other shows we watch, a few asides about feline narcotics, and a very important lesson about why you should never karoake to Foreigner. Agree or disagree in our Facebook group page or email us at gleekast@gmail.com. Hopefully by then, we'll be in better moods.

Episode 4.4 - A Cold Pretzel in Hell

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:02:00 -0400

Erica hates Coldplay but loves RuPaul’s Drag Race. Emily hates easy jokes but loves her some Lifetime Originals. Together, the ladies discuss Ryan Murphy’s hatred of long distance relationships, Marley’s stupid hat choices, a Lost-esque theory regarding the Glee-ettes, and the controversial wording regarding jokes about Gilbert Grape’s mom. Weigh in (fat joke!) at our Facebook page during the hiatus and send us your virtual smoochies at gleekast@gmail.com. We’ll see you next month. Please don’t break up with us in the meantime.

Episode 4.3 - Fat Chicks Do it Color Guard Style

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:01:00 -0400

Bow ties, broaches, Bradshaw and blonde ambition. It's Episode 3 as Glee serves up (another) class election, (another) makeover, and one more reminder about the linger effects of scarlet fever. Erica and Emily use this as a chance to address some sad goings on Sons of Anarchy, happy possibilities of The Mindy Project, and when in doubt, suffer at the sharp little claws of their respective cats. Send your feedback to gleekast@gmail.com or join the party at our Facebook page. Unique-free since 2012!

Episode 4.2 - The Great Cheetos Quandary

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:00:00 -0400

Things get HEATED this week on GleeKast as Erica and Emily argue the age-old question of the difference between Cheetos and Cheese Doodles. It's more intense than a Brittany beatdown on a stereotypical Jewish
kid (Happy Yom Kippur! Maybe?). Also, the ladies answer lots of questions regarding Brooklyn, discuss a few new or returning fall shows, and argue about pizza. Come to think of it, this is a rather combative episode of GleeKast. And would you really have it any other way? Send your feedback to gleekast@gmail.com and discuss your heart's desires on our Facebook page. Or just answer our burning question about Cheetos vs. Cheese Doodles.

Episode 4.1 - Hats Off (No Seriously, Get That F*cking Hat Off Your Head Already

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:59:00 -0400

From the depths of contagion comes this week's GleeKast, where Erica coughs on bravely and Emily does her best to accidentally insult babies. Through it all, they also delve hat-first into The New Rachel, a discussion that involves a lot of hats. Like seriously: that's a lot of hats. Even our awesome feedbackers agree that the hat quotient was a little much. Also in this episode: Emily and Erica muse through some of the fall TV season, bringing up painful memories of Carnivale and annoying contestants on Face/Off. Oh yeah: and every college freshman will have a slut for a roommate. That's just a fact. Discuss more on our Facebook page or email us at gleekast@gmail.com.

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:54:00 -0400

Dust off those earbuds and charge that iPod! It’s a looooooong ride back into the Glee-verse as Erica and Emily tackle Goodbye, The Glee Project, the top 6 and bottom 6 musical performances of the year, and the continued madness of Ryan Murphy. We’ve got batches and batches of kickass feedback, plus the diversions and tangents you’ve come to expect and love (we hope; I mean if you don’t, how can you actually listen to us?). We’ll be back shortly as Glee’s Season 4 debuts, but in the meantime, check out our upcoming Buffy-riffic guest spot on the

Episode 3.21 - When Gleekast Endorses Tumbling

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:28:00 -0400

On the penultimate episode of Season 3, Erica and Emily are joined by Special Guest Star Lisa, who is fabulous and wonderful until she voices opinions about Nationals’ judging committee and is then banished to the slushee’d table to think about what she’s done. Were the ladies swayed by New Directions’ performance? Skeeved out by Will and Emma’s consummation? Angered to the point of Targaryen dragon rage at the threat of Unique becoming a series regular? Find out the answers to these and a few more (or less) questions on this week’s episode. Join our Facebook group to help support Emily in her quest to prove to the world that The Artist was mediocre, and follow our guest star (no longer special; she knows why) on Twitter at @yellow_crayon.

Episode 3.20 - We Got A Tina Situation Up Here

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:27:00 -0400

Can you BELIEVE that thing happened in Book 3 of Game of Thrones? Or just how adorable Erica’s kitten is? I know, I know: it’s INSANE! Also, Erica and Emily talk about body swapping, Tina’s mehness, and the plight of husky male guest stars on Glee. Send your feedback togleekast@gmail.com and come back quickly for our coverage of Nationals. Also, cute kitten pictures on our Facebook group. We give you so much.

Episode 3.19 - Missi Gunderson, We Hardly Knew Ye

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:27:00 -0400

This week on GleeKast, Erica and Emily are joined by special guest star Mjolnir Kelly, Erica's really adorable kitten who occasionally shouts her dissatisfaction with Promasauras by adorably yelling or turning off her mother's wifi connection. Speaking of, Happy Mother's Day to our maternal listeners, and happy Mediocre Prom Episode to all. Next week, Glee goes big with a two hour star-filled--er, Lindsay Lohan featured special, so send us your feedback to gleekast@gmail.com and join the party over at Facebook.

Episode 3.18 - Kurt's Hips Don't Lie

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:26:00 -0400

Break out the boxing gloves! It’s a combative episode of GleeKast as Erica and Emily battle it out over the divisive Choke. There’s hair pulling and everything! Also, enjoy a typically insulting discussion of Smash and hear Erica try really hard to convince Emily to see Thor. Email us atgleekast@gmail.com, join our exclusive club at Facebook, send a soul to Katherine McPhee at NBC Studios, and wish Erica a happy birthday at Tuesday.

Episode 3.17 - Glee, Amistad, Same Thing Really

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:25:00 -0400

What's this? An episode of Glee that didn't make Erica and Emily angry? Well, not THAT angry anyway. The ladies tackle Dance With Somebody while battling the abuse of a funky Internet connection at every corner. It's like being a Christian with a boner or Finn with dialogue, if you know what we mean. We close with a fat round of fantastic feedback, of which you can join by emailing us at gleekast@gmail.com. Join our Facebook group and don't do crack.

Episode 3.16 - The Wheelchair Bookends That Weren't

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:24:00 -0400

Slip into your size 13 double wide boogie shoes for Erica and Emily’s hard-hitting look at Saturday Night Glee-Ver, and yes, we hate that title just as much as you. More importantly, Cabin In the Woods was great and you should see it. Send your feedback to gleekast@gmail.com, party on our Facebook group, and hurry up with planning the rest of your life already. Don’t you know you’re supposed to have that figured out before turning 18?

Episode 3.15 - A Hodorriffic Hiatus Hath Ended

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:08:00 -0400

As happy as Erica and Emily are to return, they REALLY hope you’re not reading this while driving. Or walking. Or breathing. Or applying to Yale. That would be like texting while wandering down a hallway and in case you hadn’t heard, texting is the leading source of plot conveniences in the country today! Don’t let yourself become a statistic. But seriously, Erica and Emily DO actually talk about Glee this week (eventually) following some Step Up Smashing. Share your thoughts on that or Smash or Game of Thrones or the delectable new Sun Chips flavor at gleekast@gmail.com or join our hip and happening group on Facebook. Just not while you’re walking. Because HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING?

Episode 3.14 - Don't Be A Chocolate Covered Onion In Lima While Sexting Your Friend In The Hood

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:07:00 -0400

So there was a new episode of Smash this week. And Emily saw Carrie the Musical and the hilarious Phantom of the Opera sequel. And Erica got angry. Really angry. That's right folks! It's On My Way, aka the Episode That Has Some Great Moments And Really Stupid Ones. We'll let you figure out which was which. We're hoping to stay active with some bonus content during Glee's hiatus, so keep your eyes on the feed and hang out with the afterparty over at palavr.com. Send your feedback and chocolate or onions (but never together; have you learned NOTHING?) togleekast@gmail.com. And don't forget: nothing says live like a few people you kinda sorta know bringing you an Edible Arrangement. Especially if it includes peanut butter.

Episode 3.13 - Don't Go Cheesing My Heart

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:07:00 -0400

It’s Valentine’s Day in Lima, so naturally, Erica and Emily head heart-first into intense and educational discussions on Starburst flavors, Grammy performances, Iowan rednecks and how to properly pronounce ‘douvet’ (Erica claims it’s doo-vay; Emily prefers ‘douvoigh’). When all else fails, the ladies head to the Sugar Shack to take a bite out of Heart. We’ve got one more episode of Sexting In Suburbia--er, Glee--to cover before the winter hiatus, so get your feedback in to gleekast@gmail.comor start conversing over at palavr.com. We’d love to hear your opinions on a Facebook group, so share your thoughts or friend us there (Emily Intravia or Erica Lynn Kelly). It’s easy to find us: we’re the ones with Bible quote tattoos and boring Irish accents. Oh wait, that’s something else...

Episode 3.12 - When Ricky Martin is in a Chair . . .

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:06:00 -0400

You might have come here to hear Erica and Emily discuss The Spanish Teacher. You will kinda sorta maybe get that, but more importantly, listen! as the ladies tackle the life lessons of Sexting In Suburbia, why teenage girls are obsessed with being abused, how to properly pronounce “Adelphi,” how Emily learned the other definition of ‘taint,’ and fat jokes. Lots and lots of fat jokes. What else are we supposed to do when Glee makes them so easy? At least Ricky Martin is aging well. Send your feedback togleekast@gmail.com, party on at palavr.com, and always remember to conjugate.

Episode 3.11 - Beat it Ryan Murphy. No, Seriously, Beat it

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:05:00 -0400

Michael Shmichael, what we REALLY want to argue about is the hot factor of Smash’s Jack Davenport (sans powdered wig). Or Sexting In Suburbia. Or Emily’s drunken karaoke party and what Erica might have sang. Or Kurt and Burt’s future rendition of Pimp My Ride. What we’re trying to say is that this wasn’t our favorite episode. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t find plenty to say about it, from the unintentional comedy of Quinn’s Yale acceptance to more fat jokes about Shane. But Blaine did look adorable in that eyepatch. It’s the little things that count. Send us your thoughts, be they hearty head nodding, disagreeing head shaking, or your opinion on the attractiveness of Commodore Norrington post-Commodore ranking to gleekast@gmail.com or come hang out on our forums over at palavr.com. Cause that’s what Michael would do, and um, that’s really all you need to know when doing anything ever.

Episode 3.10 - Yes/No/Maybe So

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:55:00 -0400

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

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:55:00 -0400

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 14^th. We have no idea why, but it just sounds amazing.

Episode 3.8 - Just A Cup-Pa Lectures

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:54:00 -0400

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

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:54:00 -0400

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.

Don't forget to learn more about our favorite nudist muppet Fozzie over atwww.thepodcastpodcast.com or read his hilarity at iwanttoworkfortheonion.tumblr.com OR join his Twitter legion @fozziebare. Check out our Aussie feedbacker Nigel's new podcast atwww.talkmovies.net and enjoy the wisdom of one Wayne Kotke at www.d2rights.blogspot.com. Happy New Year everyone and remember, joyful...joyful noise.

Episode 3.6 - The Slap Heard 'Round the Hall

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:53:00 -0400

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@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:11:00 -0400

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

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:10:00 -0400

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!

Episode 3.3 - Asian Effie

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:10:00 -0400

Tangent? Whoever heard of a tangent? Certainly not GleeKast, who brings you disciplined coverage of Asian F...until their Special Guest Star Gwyneth Pal--er, Slug shows up and chaos reigns with more furor than a Von Trier flick. The trio discuss everything from The Karate Kid Part III to Will Shuester’s taste in porn. Then Emily discovers she has the ability to wishmaster stuff and gets really distracted. So distracted that her irresponsible wishmastering leads to technical difficulties that threaten a good 90 minutes of group rambling. Three days later, the trio reunites in SkypeLand to finish off defining tiger moms and debating the healthiness of Mercedes’ relationship with her in no way healthy boyfriend/Snuffalufagus/forum/Durden. Trust us, it will all make sense two hours from now. In the meantime, there’s the link Ashlee sent us from someone who hates Glee:
http://nerdgasmnoire.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/why-is-glee-so-addicted-to-failure/ and you should share your thoughts on it at palavr.com. There’s the videotorial shared with us by Wayne here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p72UqyVPj54 in which a chick declares war on Beyonce. And most touchingly (and educationally), here’s the superior cover of Fix You from Young@Heart, complete with Spanish subtitles because Emily wishmastered it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_n0zvoHlVk

We’ll be on a brief hiatus along with Glee, but keep your ears out for a Very Special And Long Ago Teased commentary episode and stay in touch at gleekast@gmail.com and the palavr.com forums. Also check out
Slug over at the Slugcast, which you can find right on yonder: http://www.slugcast.com/ Just don’t throw salt on it because that’s cruel and gross. Sickos. Keep up that attitude and we’ll wishmaster you all the way back to The Season That Didn’t Happen. Remember: you don’t even know what we’re talking about.

Episode 3.2 - Baby Beth Theft Ith on Ith Way

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:08:00 -0400

Somewhere between Oz (the prison show) and Oz (the land that inspired many a bad Australian accent) lies this week’s belated, but bodacious episode of GleeKast. The ladies delve Manic Panic dyed headfirst into I Am Unicorn, pausing for exciting gifts, boob job reversals, a decision about how to just ignore The Lost Season, and lessons on musical theater. Also on hand: Emily teaches the art of modern dance, which Erica apparently knew already. Diva. Share your own ideas for dance moves over at palavr.com or email gleekast@gmail.com. Just don’t do it while wearing tights. That doesn’t sit well with football coaches, paraplegics, or those with psychological issues regarding cleanliness.

Episode 3.1 - We've Got the Gleet

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:08:00 -0400

Put on your slinkiest dress and drape yourself over the most purple of all pianos for the glitterific return of GleeKast! Oh yeah, and Glee. Erica and Emily squeeze into their dusty Cheerio spanx to dance away with the Purple Piano Project, aka the season 3 premiere of America's favorite/least favorite musidramedy. It's a late night recording for the gals, meaning loopiness ensues quickly, especially when we discuss such odd trivia as Matthew Morrison's feud with Jonah Hill, Mike Chang's gratuitous but appreciated abbarriffic dance move, and the shock of seeing Heather Morris look bad on camera (see photo and agree). It culminates with some excellent feedback discussion, of which you can participate by emailing gleekast@gmail.com or just hang out on the forum board at Palavr.com. Get there soon if you don't want to be glitter bombed. That stuff gets stuck everywhere.

Bonus Episode - Beastly Commentary with the Podcast Podcast

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:02:00 -0400

Love is never ugly, or so the tagline reads for Alex Flinn's teen fairy tale novel and source for the first ever GleeKast/Podcast Podcast crossover book club. Emily read it. Erica read some of it. And Jason and George showed up to look pretty. It all comes together when we sit down for a running commentary on the 2011 film adaptation, a film so controversial, its release date was constantly pushed back until a time when the general public could accept the love between the vacant void of Vanessa Hudgens and a heavily tattooed bald dude with an erratic accent. Then the public decided it didn't care. Do we? Find out by listening along and share your thoughts/spells over at palavr.comor gleekast.com.

Bonus Episode - Mommie Dearest Commentary with the Podcast Podcast

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:01:00 -0400

LISTENERS! Bring us the axe!...Or just your ears as Erica and Emily sit down with The Podcast Podcast's Fozziebare and his beloved and adorably intelligent George for a viewing of 1981's Razzie Award winning, career-killing classic, Mommie Dearest. The quartet of mildly intoxicated watchers delve deep into the obsessive compulsive world of one of Hollywood's most dramatic (and shoulder padded) queens and her ungrateful poodlehead of a daughter. Sure, we chortle our way through some of the film's campier moments, but there's also plenty to learn as our commentary reveals we know more about one of John Waters' favorite films than any sane person has any right to. Queue up your DVD and press play when we say to for the bumpiest parenting ride of your life. It may never be clean, but it will be always be special. Discuss on palavr.com or send your feedback (sans wire hangers, duh) to gleekast@gmail.com.

Bonus Episode - High School Musical 2 Commentary

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:00:00 -0400

Fear not, loyal GleeKast listeners. Erica and Emily could only go so long without revisiting bedazzled microphones and jazz squares (seriously; the withdrawals are far worse than anything heroin users have to deal with). Hence, on this sunny summer Sunday, the ladies sit down to bring you a commentary track for the second hit in Disney's High School Musical saga. Erica gets distracted by the extreme weight loss of Raven Symone, while Emily gets lost in the orange orangeness that is orangely Zach Efron. Seriously, was the kid's mother's womb lined with pumpkin puree or something? It's weird. About as weird as Vanessa Hudgens is dull, Sharpay is wonderful, Ryan is underrated and Corbin Bleu's name is stupid. So queue up the film (now streaming on Netflix!) and press play when we tell you to. We'll be back at some point with some other form of episode this summer, but in the meantime, head over to Palavr for the virtual drink-with-tiny-umbrellas that is the message boards. Also, always make sure your friends like you, no matter how much personal sacrifice that entails. It worked for Troy, and that is all that really matters. That and being as orange as you can. Wildcats!

Episode 2.22 - We've Still Got This Bella Notte

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:59:00 -0400

Welcome to Erica and Emily’s empire state of mind, a sunny universe filled with great pizza, watermelon beer, cat cuddles, and a little bit of talk about something or another called the second season finale of Glee. Presents are exchanged to shock and awe and the ladies tear into ‘New York’ like a bunch of Ohioans touring New York in bright primary colors. We close with our very own top 6 lists for our favorite musical performances of the year, plus an epic feedback session filled with lots of our listeners’ very own picks. Big fat heartfuls of thanks to all our listeners who have made our first full season of GleeKasting a true joy. Remember to stay in touch and up to
date on our upcoming bonus episodes by hanging out at the forums over at palavr.com or following us on Twitter (@ericasname and @deadlydolls). Keep the emails coming to gleekast@gmail.com and should summer prove stressful, just get a haircut. Apparently that solves all sorts of problems!

Episode 2.21 - Smells Like Teen Snozzberries

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:58:00 -0400

Pop open your finest bottle of fizzy lifting drinks for GleeKast's very special coverage of Funeral, wherein innocent characters are sacrificed to the gods of plot and rushed characterizations. We'd love to tell you more about the episode, but even the slighting inkling in these show notes may cause Erica to have terrifying flashbacks to a certain 1971 classic children's film. It's intense. Almost as intense as John 'Dr. Car'l Stamos playing a reproductive rapist on Law & Order: SVU. But tell us just HOW intense by sending feedback to gleekast@gmail.com or entering the candyland that is our forums over at palavr.com. We'll be back in two weeks with our belated finale episode, where we hope to hear your top 6 musical performances of season 2 because after all, WE are the music makers and therefore WE are the dreamers of dreams. So dream big.

Bonus Episode - An Interview with Daniel Roebuck

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:53:00 -0400

The place: Indianapolis

The time: March 2011

The event: HorrorHound Weekend

The reason I’m using so many colons: Erica and Emily bring you an impromptu interview with Mr. Daniel Roebuck, a fine and versatile actor who plays the part of Paul Karofsky, aka David (Larry)’s dad. Mr. Roebuck has a long and diverse career in Hollywood between acting in films (River’s Edge, The Fugitive, Rob Zombie’s Halloween(s) and oodles more) television (Matlock, the angry Arzt in Lost, Star Trek, etc.), directing (most notably the Monsterama series), and writing (articles on horror movie and children’s books, natch). He’s even been preserved in bobblehead form! We mostly kept our discussion Glee-based due to time and tiredness, but we guarantee you’ve seen Mr. Roebuck elsewhere and encourage our listeners to check out his facebook page (listed below) and official website. He was incredibly gracious and kind, and it’s our pleasure to share this interview your way. Also, HUGE thanks to our pal Matt, aka Slug of the Slugcast podcast who helped arrange the meetup. Check out Matt’s show at www.slugcast.net (or iTunes) for a good gooey time.

Episode 2.20 - Hello Kurt Hummel Prom Night Rumble

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:52:00 -0400

With enough hairspray to blaze through the ozone and heels so high they reach Corey Montheith’s nipples, Erica and Emily go to the prom, McKinley High style. An extended GleeKap has the ladies digging deep into Prom Queen, digging so deep in fact that Skype almost pulls a Carrie White on them all. Thankfully, the Goddess of Fun Fun, Think About Fun comes through to save the recording, allowing the gals to get their robot on on the dance floor that is the feedback frenzy of awesome. Join the awesome by sending your thoughts to gleekast@gmail.com and visit the afterprom party at palavr.com. It’s tastier than a bowl of lemon punch mix, prettier than a pair of electric blue sheer sleeves and more fun than an awkward crowning ceremony, it’s GleeKast!

More important than any chintzy tiara, GleeKast closes out the prom with a wonderful musical treatment courtesy of our dear listener Rainicorn, aka Anna of London of the fine and fascinating blog, www.gaychristiangeek.blogspot.com. Thanks oodles for the tunes!

Episode 2.19 - Don't Stop Talking About Lord Tubbington

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:51:00 -0400

There’s a rumour going around that Erica and Emily have some form of influence over the Glee triumvirate and its decisions in acknowledging GleeKast’s criticisms of season 2. Or maybe we’re just making that up which makes it maybe true or something. What matters more is that the ladies tackle episode 2.19, Rumours (sic) with a slight Friday night loopiness. Tangents abound as Erica opens up her birthday gifts and proceeds to explain her deep-seated hatred of Something Borrowed, while Emily reveals a shocking fact about her family’s emotional connection to JarJar Binks. Oh yeah, and they also talk about Glee. For more glee-ful discussions PLUS exclusive photos of Emily’s scary stuffed bear attacking Erica, visit our forums over at palavr.com and send us feedback atgleekast@gmail.com. Heat up that fondue and dig in!

Episode 2.18 - Pro Active Nose Jobs in 90 Minutes!

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:50:00 -0400

Does Erica secretly voice the character of Emma Pillsbury? Has Tom Hanks cheated on his wife? Have the gals missed their real calling in life as professional sound check performance artists? These and many other questions you’ve never thought to ask get answered (sorta) on this episode of GleeKast, where the ladies also delve no-weave-first into Episode 2.18, Born This Way. We’d say more about it but that would spoil things, and if there’s one thing Erica and Emily are better than, it’s overly chatty Glee extras. Visit our forums at palavr.com to get your overly chattiness on, or email us adoration atgleekast@gmail.com. Otherwise, we’ll stage a flash mob in your local mall in a bid to get more attention. And let’s face it: that’s just annoying when done not well. Hear that Howie Mandel?

Episode 2.17 - Amazeballs of Neglect

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:42:00 -0400

What’s the only thing more badass than a honey badger on a killing spree? The one and only GleeKast of course! Erica and Emily return from their hiatus with sassy stories of Horror Hound Weekend, tempestuous teases about spin-off podcasts and the audio Internet’s biggest apology of all time (hi Troy’s mom!). Oh yeah, and they also discuss A Night of Neglect, Glee’s trisnoozent return to spring TV! But that’s probably less interesting than Erica’s surprise attack by a giant stuffed bear or Emily’s dog’s ability to break into a locked room. Visit our forums over at palavr.com so that we can feel special and/or email us kindly at gleekast@gmail.com so that we can be nourished and not neglected. You don’t want us to starve to death, do you? Because then you’d be a bad person, about on par with a heckle-happy teen and that (afterschool special Gwyneth Paltrow voice on) is wrong. Now perk up, send your message, and return to your Mark Harmon-based fantasies. We’ll still be here.

Bonus Episode - The Podcast Podcast GleeKast GleeKast BurlesqueBurlesque Commentary TrackTrack!

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:41:00 -0400

A few months ago, Erica and Emily discovered the new eighth wonder of the world, a little feel-good glitter gun blast of a film known as Burlesque. They recorded a bonus episode wherein both giddily detailed the entire plot in an hour, but really, that’s not nearly enough justice bestowed upon something so wonderful. Hence, the GleeKast gals teamed up with the Podcast Podcast & Co. for a full on COMMENTARY track. HEAR the wonders of FozzieBare’s Cher singalongs. HEAR the power of what pearls feel like in lady places. HEAR everything you ever needed to know about air rights. We recommend queuing this episode up with the film, more because the film is AMAZING than for context, but go jogging with us on your iPod for all we care. So long as you’ve got black lace panties underneath, it’s cool. Studies have also shownthat listening to the GleeKast Podcast Podcast Burlesque Commentary in the waiting room of your plastic surgeon produces an 88% success rate in facial results and a 99% spectacular rate in boob enhancements. So really, what are you waiting for? These sexy squinty eyed bartender songwriters aren’t going to be straight forever.

Bonus Episode - High School Musical Commentary

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:39:00 -0400

Bop it to the top, yo! Erica and Emily can’t leave you hanging at the basketball net of life just ‘cause Glee is taking a break. Hence we bring you this Very Special Bonus Commentary on what is undoubtedly one of the main reasons Glee was ever greenlit, the Disney Channel’s highly successful High School Musical. Join the gals as they try their best not to sing along (despite the fact that Emily doesn’t actually know the tunes, having never seen the film before) or confess their own sssecretsss that involve dirtier things than baking and cellos. Throughout our viewing, we also provide play-by-play updates on the developing love affair between Erica and Mookie, a very insistent cat who refuses to be turned down by Erica’s lap. It’s far dirtier than anything that happens onscreen, although we have our doubts about what DIDN’T make the cut. There’s a lot of Vanessa Hudgens hatred and Costas Mandylor dreamcasting, but what else can you expect? So cue up the Encore Edition of High School Musical and press play with us for a deep and dark journey into Scholastic Decathalons, big games, awkward brother/sister romantic duets, botany, and Emily and Erica’s own odd high school experiences (which apparently involved tennis, badminton, and Slurpees). We’ll be back soon with actual Glee-centric GleeKasts, but until then, bop it like a Wildcat.

Episode 2.16 - He Kissed A Boy and We Liked it

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:31:00 -0400

With bedazzlement firmly in place, Erica and Emily put on their finest bridesmaids/regionals gowns and open their big trouty mouths to dig into the oddly titled “Original Song”, aka the 16th episode of Glee’s 2nd season. Much squealing is sounded for the Blurt consummation, while confusion continues to reign as the ladies consider the mysterious fate of Vocal Adrenaline. Music is discussed at length, culminating in a rather unfortunate revelation about Blackbird and Charles Manson (thanks Wayne) but hey, we get by with our usual rounds of tangents, feedback, and Warbler worship. Send your thoughts to gleekast@gmail.com, join the party at palavr.com, and stay tuned for our Very Special Commentary Bonus coming next week to sate your thirst during Glee’s hiatus. Oh, and Victoria Jackson should go eat a mediocre peanut butter and jelly sandwich on stale white bread, then discover the hard way that she’s allergic to peanuts, and just as a nearby friend is about to pump her up with an EpiPen as she suffocates on her own hives, an escaped velociraptor from Jurassic Park should descend upon her and tear her ugly blond head from her psychotic close-minded body. Lastly, Mookie will pee on her. And that’s how we feel about that! Onto Nationals!

Episode 2.15 - Let Me Tell Ya Bout the Birds and the Bees and the Glees

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:20:00 -0400

Break out those cucumber flavored condoms! It’s time for GleeKast to sex you up, celibacy club and tango style. Erica and Emily pop Episode 15’s cherry pineapple marshmallow fluff afternoon delight with their usual round of tangental too much information. They also sexily sway through Sexy, trying their best not to get too distracted with visions of John Stamos’ lonely hose monster or Matthew Morrison’s open collar. The show closes with an epic round of feedback, of which you could contribute to next week by emailing gleekast@gmail.com. Party on at our forums over at palavr.com and check out some of our smartypants emailers at their respective blogs:

Hearts, hugs, and sexy yet responsible veggie tales lessons to all.

Episode 2.14 - The Bi-Pinkuridrunk Show

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:16:00 -0400

Some might blame it on the February blues, but here at the GleeKast, we’ll take any old excuse to blame It (you know, IT) on the alcohol. The girls sober up to tackle Episode 2.14, aka, The One Where Everyone In Glee Gets Really Drunk And We Notice That Everything’s Coming Up Bedazzles. There’s lots of 90210 nostalgia, Blaine swooning, headband worship and fashion judgment, plus a new question of the week to be answered on our palavr.com forums. Drive your non-alcoholic feedback to gleekast@gmail.com and ask Finn to send your alcoholic feedback to gleekast@gmail.com. We’re responsible like that. Also, check out Erica’s knew knitting blog over at knitsasmallworld.com. We’ll be back in two weeks with the next new episode, but if you should ever need us, always remember that you are Lisa Simps—I mean, go to palavr.comand hang out on the message boards. We’ll be there. And might be drunk.

Episode 2.13 - Color Me Glee

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:15:00 -0400

How does one locate cat poop when it’s not in a litterbox? Are all kids with cancer full of smiles and cheer? When is a lesbian love ballad not about lesbians? And just how scarring a life experience is seeing Justin Bieber in concert for adult women? These questions and more get asked and occasionally answered on this installment of GleeKast, where Erica and Emily delve con mucho gusto into Comeback, an episode that seems to only have poco gusto. We still get to practice our Spanish though, so that’s a plus. Answer our spicy question of the week over at palavr.com, where the forum boards are buzzing with all sorts of life-changing topics and listener-provided brilliance. Send your feedback to gleekast@gmail.com if you don’t want us to contemplate sue-icide via gummy vitamins. See you next week, unless we bump into each other before at Kids ‘R Us or the place where all the cool kids will henceforth roam, Color Me Mine. We’ll even lend you a t-shirt (I hear Erica has one from the J. Biebs concert she went to…)

Episode 2.12 - Fat Bottom Girls You Make Tate Donovan Be Proud

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:11:00 -0400

You might THINK that people would’ve had enough of silly love songs, but Erica and Emily clearly see that isn’t so. No. Especially when they delve into the heart-shaped box of non-sucking chocolate that was, well….Silly Love Songs! Crushes are born, new nicknames formed, and a glimmer of hope illuminated for the actual character development of one Lauren Zizis. Remember, you can’t spell woman without a C, can’t cheat on your bee eff without m-o-n-o, and can’t chit the chat about Glee or answer our exciting question of the week without p-a-l-a-v-r dot com. Send your feedback, roses, gold star necklaces, coffee orders, onesies, stuffed dogs representing puppy love, and Gap giftcards togleekast@gmail.com and feel ABSOLUTELY free to make a gigantic display of affection in a public arena in the names of us. It will not be too much.

Episode 2.11 - Zombies and Canons and Glee, OH MY!

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:09:00 -0400

Erica and Emily break out the pompoms and jockstraps for the football-filled return of Glee, an event so epic it requires something even more powerful than a sue-clear canon, namely…well, we can’t really remember because the episode was kind of forgettable. The Sue Sylvester Shuffle, not the GleeKast, which is of course among the greatest dose of ear orgasm you can possibly hope to ever experience in your sad canon-less life. Don’t believe us? Listen and call us liars, we dare you. I mean, we won’t protect you from that 300 pound linebacker if you do and the canon’s children will totally grow up in shame and squalor, but hey, it’s your life. Feedback goes to gleekast@gmail.com, forum fun parties on at palavr.com, and footballs and Cheerios skirts go into your nearest storage facility.

Bonus Episode - Best of 2010: The Mirrors Edition

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 14:06:00 -0400

It’s GleeKast’s First Annual End-Of-The-Year Wrap-Up Extravaganza Spectacular Festival Of Lots Of Stuff! Erica and Emily kick off the festivities with their very special, very different lists of their ten best films of 2010. Controversy explodes when the two Es reveal a huge difference in values: loyal toys or mirrors…mirrors…MIRRORS? Also on hand is the esteemed Reverend Scott, who directs us to some tear-worthy Sing Off clips (we ‘pologize for that) and his own magical/musical top ten countdown. More warring opinions are waged when the ladies list their top 5 TV moments and engage in a fierce debate on the end of Lost (Emily wins….really…the fact that she’s writing theseshow notes has no bearing on that decision). Somewhere between the madness are gushings about the upcoming Muppets movie, our extended discomfort with watching Dick Clark speak, and a special occult section wherein a lucky magi-gleeful 8-ball reveals ssssssecretssssss for Glee’s 2011 season. We’ll be back in February with the return of a superbowl Glee (has there EVER been a showmore fitting of that timeslot?) so in the meantime, happy Russian Christmas, Merry Martin Luther King Junior Day, a Grand Groundhog Day, and lots of loving to start 2011. Don’t forget to stay in touch on the palavr.com forums or send us some love over at gleekast@gmail.com. Kisses, hugs, and mirrors to all!

Episode 2.10 - Happy Kwannaglee!

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 13:58:00 -0400

Break out your sad berets and husky female santas for A Very GleeKast Xmas, wherein Emily & Erica are joined by the holiday spirit that is lovely guest star Lisa. After an epic round of feedback that includes everything from corporate law to adorable babies, the ladies tackle Glee’s take on grinches, fake snow, Tanning Chatum and stem cell research. Eagle eyed Erica acts all smart and obverservationish with a keen Rachel fashion report and intense research on argomedtechsciencesounding technology, while Emily gets stuck on fat jokes and how to say the word ‘rotisserie.’ Learn all about Long Island’s worst excuse for a shopping mall and why The Christmas Shoes is the greatest song ever written ever (ever). We’ll be taking a brief hiatus to match Glee, but tune in early January for a bonus show on the best of the year in film and tv. Your feedback/best-of lists/firstborn babies that sing along to Glee are always welcome atgleekast@gmail.com. Visit our forums to answer our many questions of the week over at palavr.com, and have a happy, grinchless, and high calorie filled end of 2010.
Love & snuggles,

Erica & Emily (& Lisa)

Episode 2.9 - Where You Will Never Find Adoltary

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 13:48:00 -0400

GleeKast opens its doors to a Very Special Guest Star in the form of I Can Haz Podcast’s MelByForce, who brings us her thoughts on Episode 2.9: Special Education. This includes figuring out what the title actually means, which is unclear. The ladies dig in to all things Sectionals, including rushed weddings, magic combs, and how to say panache with panache. Also, for no real reason at all, they repeat their hatred of the upcoming Yogi Bear movie. Don’t you think it’s offensive? Tell us so at gleekast@gmail.com or thread it up on our message boards over at Palavr.com. That’s pee a el a vee are, dot com.

Episode 2.8 - Who Furted in Here?

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Thu, 8 Aug 2013 13:46:00 -0400

Where else can you learn about the dangers of glitter diets and what it means to be a man? Why, the GleeKast of course! This week, Erica & Emily dissect episode 2.8, Furt, and though it might sound like a noise made by shy balding businessmen after a mini burrito buffet, it’s actually a mostly touching hour filled with teary wedding vows, pretty dresses, famed Nazi huntresses, ’50s showtunes, and locker room brawls with kids in wheelchairs. A lovely email makes the ladies feel old while a commercial for the Yogi Bear movie makes them feel murderous. We pose a probably already answered question of the week to be answered anyway over atpalavr.com. Feedback is welcomed at gleekast@gmail.com. And as always, Mike O’Malley is invited into our hearts, where he and his kicky dance moves are free to supply us with years of warm and cuddly comfort.

Episode 2.7 - Substitute Watersports

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2013 15:45:00 -0400

It’s a very special episode of the GleeKast when the studio opens its doors and champagne (served in mimosa format) to the PodcastPodcast’s host with most, FozzieBare (aka Jason, but Muppet references make us smile) and his darling feeyonsay, George. The quartet discuss the comfy life of Gwyneth Paltrow, her incredibly fun-to-mock variety of southern accents, and how Apple isn’t really that bad of a name after all. Also, tangents abound on what should have been the sequel to Ever After, the glory of Patti Lupone, and weird looking celebrity babies that almost were. Hear more from Jason over at thepodcastpodcast.com, and head to both of our forums over at Palavr.com. Feedback as always goes to gleekast@gmail.com, and that’s actually a direct note to Mindy Kaling. Hayyyyy, Mindy! To our American friends, we extend a happy Thanksgiving. To all our international listeners, why can’t you just be thankful like us? What, you’re too good to eat turkey just before the xmas season? You’ve offended me. And the only way to get back on my good side is to head to tinyurl.com/kidneywedding to vote for Matt & Liz’s dream wedding every day until November 30th. We don’t want to hurt you, so do it and tell your friends. Or else we’ll hurt them.

Episode 2.6 - The 40 Year Old Virgin

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2013 15:43:00 -0400

Erica & Emily return from saving the world from to bring you wise words on Glee’s 6th episode, Never Been Kissed. From badass busking to fantasy roadhouses, the ladies delve into the usual round of listener feedback, stopping to tangent on all things tangental. So very tangental that we can’t actually remember anything we discussed, so instead, here’s a link to tinyurl.com/kidneywedding, where you should go to vote for Matt & Liz’s dream wedding because a) they’re great people b) she gave him a kidney and c) if you don’t do so every day until November 30th, we’ll do really bad things to you. Listen to the episode for details.

Send feedback to gleekast@gmail.com, visit our forums at palavr.com, and remember: just because you’re not really pretty on the outside, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have a deliciously nougaty inside that will eventually experience all the joys of a pity kiss. See? We learn a lot from watching Glee, like how the nutcracker isn’t just a musical and that what we really want for Christmas are dueling confetti cans.

Episode 2.5 - Don't Dream It, Glee It

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2013 15:37:00 -0400

It’s astounding. Time is fleeting. And madness has once again taken its toll on Erica & Emily, who bring you a Halloween hangovered GleeKast detailing episode 2.5, The Rocky Horror Glee Show! The ladies go deep with some thoughtful and smartypants feedback, then explore all the controversial issues surrounding New Directions this week, including Lea Michelle’s lolliporn GQ shoot, Finn’s body issues, Mike Chang’s unXmas albumness, Amber Riley’s unsexy dance moves, the aftereffects of bed-fretting, how The Stamos makes us understand bed-fretting, and the slowly growing problem that is Ryan Murphy’s writing. We also struggle admirably to pronounce the word ‘canonical’ and engage in a fierce debate about the Hokey Pokey. It gets ugly. But also abulous. We’re versatile and EGOT-in-the-making like that. Send your feedback to gleekast@gmail.com and visit our forum over at Palavr.com to answer our Stamosian question of the week. Warning: those who speak ill of the Stamos will be threatened. And possibly given root canals. Details still in development. Now put in your sensational transvestite earplugs and enjoy

Episode 2.4 - Some Kind of Wonderful Breadsticks & the Tramp

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2013 15:36:00 -0400

Teen wolves! Sexually aware cheerleaders! Invaded urethrae! Learning that the plural of urethra is urethrae! Thus do we enter GleeKast 2.4, as Erica and Emily duet about Duets, pausing of course to discuss listener feedback from smart awesome people, muse over Muppet mashups, and argue over how to count to 12 (it’s so much harder than it sounds). It’s enough to drive even the most adorable of teen sweethearts to Asian Couples’ Therapy! So heat up a basket of doughy fine breadsticks, send emails to gleekast@gmail.com, and sit back to savor the sounds of two Es on Glee, accompanied this week by their own version of Brad the pianist (aka the soft bass snores of Erica’s boyfriend, Mike Not Chang). Have forum fun over at palavr.com (that’s p-a-l-a-v-r-dot-com) and answer our delicious question of the week, or else accept the fact that one of us will, as punishment, perform the next episode as Matthew McConaughy speaking Nav’i while taking a shower.

Episode 2.3 - Ya Gotta Have Faith (Faith Faith, This Episode Was AllAbout Faith, Faith Faith)

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2013 15:26:00 -0400

Listeners, can you hear us? We sure hope so, otherwise the last hour of our lives spent towards discussing Glee 2.3, Grilled Cheezus, was kind of pointless. We have faith that you’re on the other end of some iPod, squeezing its hand when we tell you just how important you are towards making us whole. You might even call it a spiritual connection akin to biting into buttery toasted goodness high in calcium and Christianity, singing gospel music to an atheist wearing a Christ chic hat, or channeling your inner Babs under a starry starry sky. All this and more happens in Grilled Cheezus, thusly all this and more (including Erica’s not so awkward family photo defense and Emily’s fruitless attempt to unravel the meaning of Joan Osborne) happens in this episode of the GleeKast! Answer our ever so earnest question of the week at our Palavr.com forums and send feedback to gleekast@gmail.com. If you don’t, the evil dwarf that is God (who is one of us) may get angry and punish us all with yet another Mercedes solo. Think about that, won’t you?

Episode 2.2 - Snakes and Dentists and Pop, OH MY!

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2013 15:23:00 -0400

Break out the laughing gas and dental floss kids: it’s Brittany/Britney…bitch(es). This week, Erica and Emily hooked on phonics their way through listener feedback then stage dive into the second episode of Glee’s second season. Well, they try to, but it’s hard to stay focused when constantly being distracted by the dreaminess of one John Stamos. Seriously, if his face were silk screened onto body pillows, there would be an awful lot of mutant bedding babies roaming Sheets ‘N Things. Which kind of brings us back to the episode, where we offer wildly differing opinions before moving on to discuss Teri’s hot new style, Lea Michelle’s shrinking waistline, the ew-iness of naked sweaty chairs in the school library, Jewish clouds, and what other foods go great with ranch dressing (spoiler alert: all). Answer our question of the week (or just help Emily find a Halloween costume) on our forums over at Palavr.com and send feedback/grilled cheesus sandwiches to gleekast@gmail.com.

Episode 2.1 - Listen!

gleekast@gmail.com (Gleekast) — Wed, 7 Aug 2013 15:20:00 -0400

What did we do for love? Why, come back for the season premiere of Glee’s sophomore year of course! Erica reveals the sordid secrets of her Big Gay Summer, Emily ponders the importance of Hot Topic, Erica confesses her hatred for unestablished single name stars, and for whatever reason, Emily just keeps talking about Hot Topic. We also discuss breast implants, vasectomies, human pyramids, human centipedes, and a whole lot of other topics that somehow have maybe something to possibly do with Glee (sort of kinda sure). Advanced apologies for a likely setback in audio quality, as the first few episodes of the season will be recorded sans high-tech microphones and via Skype. This does have one benefit, namely the fact that we can finally record while naked (maybe), our alone bodies slathered in bacon grease (Erica) or Cheez Wiz (Emily). Remember to loiter in the new home of the GleeKast forums over at Palavr.com (we know there’s supposed to be an E, but between Erica and Emily, we simply ran out) and explore the super duper other podcasts and discussion boards blazing a hole through the Internet. We encourage you to introduce yourselves (so we can stalk you) and answer our question of the week. Send your emails to gleekast@gmail.com and your sacrificial offerings to the angry ghost of the late Matt Rutherford, who now haunts the halls of McKinley High and on weekends, the top left ab of Mike Chang.
