Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about it later. And I get shot
Speaker 1: upon if I get my No, I don't. I just
Speaker 1: I have no interest in seeing it. I'm sure I
Speaker 1: would enjoy it, but I haven't seen it. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure from it. Yeah, yeah, okay, great, little bit much
Speaker 1: for me? Okay, this this is Glee and this is
Speaker 1: season three episode nineteen. Kevin, We're so close to the
Speaker 1: end of season three? Are you crazy?
Speaker 2: But I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I know it's lived up.
Speaker 2: The real ones did not lie the people who were
Speaker 2: out there screaming it from the rooftops that season three
Speaker 2: was great.
Speaker 1: They were not wrong.
Speaker 2: They weren't and the fans we trust.
Speaker 1: This is Promisurus. It aired on May eighth, twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: There's a lot that was happening. Somebody that I used
Speaker 1: to know was still number one. Oh and look new
Speaker 1: number one movie. It was The Avengers. I've seen it.
Speaker 2: I've seen it. We were also like obligated to see
Speaker 2: it because Joss Whedon wrote and directed it, and so
Speaker 2: we were like, oh my god, that's our boy. We'll
Speaker 2: go see it. And then it broke the world.
Speaker 1: Broke the world in two a million pieces, like I mean,
Speaker 1: the amount of films that have come out of that.
Speaker 2: But he set up that whole world like that. It
Speaker 2: was daily.
Speaker 1: I loved that misstounding Yes me too. We watched those
Speaker 1: often Englean News This week only seventh Leah, Cory, Darren
Speaker 1: and Diana and Matt went to the Mechala I wonder
Speaker 1: what I was like, I know, fancy we were we
Speaker 1: weren't included on those things. We were not. But they
Speaker 1: all look very dapper and beautiful.
Speaker 2: The theme was scapareally and proud of impossible conversations.
Speaker 1: Woooo. They all looked really great.
Speaker 2: Twenty twelve is not that long ago, and the difference
Speaker 2: in how people were dressing in twenty twelve and how
Speaker 2: they do now.
Speaker 1: Oh it is. I mean the Mechala has it's a
Speaker 1: costume party. When what year did all of a sudden
Speaker 1: it just turn into somebody tell us the pictures they look.
Speaker 1: Everyone looks very nice. They're very well dressed. But it's
Speaker 1: like a normal I would say, like twenty red cards
Speaker 1: totally you want like later teens it went that way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really raining outside.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, isn't it cozy? It I lit my
Speaker 2: And this is not an ad, but I love boy
Speaker 2: smells candles. And there's I'm someone who is sort of
Speaker 2: naturally opposed to like celebrity versions of things. There's like
Speaker 2: a Casey Musgraves boy smells candle, Oh, slow burn, And
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't want that. And then it's phenomenal.
Speaker 3: That sounds delicious. I bring it with me to different rooms. Wait,
Speaker 3: it is literally down pouring like it is dumping. I'm
Speaker 3: working dumping.
Speaker 2: It's not pouring to me yet, so before me, so
Speaker 2: it's probably coming my way.
Speaker 1: It is. I've never seen anything like this. Okay, oh
Speaker 1: my god.
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I'm ready. I'm literally staring out the window,
Speaker 2: just like your windows, because you know lighting, and we're
Speaker 2: staring at our. The trees have started to sway. I'll
Speaker 2: give an update once.
Speaker 1: We have it any better. You got to look, I.
Speaker 2: Wanted to be a meteorologist and I was little, so
Speaker 2: I've been waiting for this rain for a week.
Speaker 1: It's not too late, Evan, It's not too late. Okay.
Speaker 1: This was directed by Eric Stoltz, of course, because Eric
Speaker 1: does all the prominent episodes, and he does them real well.
Speaker 1: They're like watching John Hughes film. We know what we
Speaker 1: need to start doing. Though, is starting like a drinking
Speaker 1: game for Eric Stults prom episodes. Maybe it's too late now,
Speaker 1: but every time you see someone making out in the episode,
Speaker 1: do you take a shot? Shockingly, I don't think he
Speaker 1: had us make out. Me and Harry make out in
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of background actors making out.
Speaker 1: I'm grateful they made an extra bit of cash. They
Speaker 1: you know that people who kiss on screen get like
Speaker 1: an extra bit of cash, as they should. It's a
Speaker 1: hazard hazard, it's COVID. It should be more.
Speaker 2: Now, you don't know where those mouths have been, no idea,
Speaker 2: they should if they had to kiss one of us.
Speaker 2: And it really has.
Speaker 1: Bay, We've been everywhere. Okay. So there's a good amount
Speaker 1: of songs in this episode. Actually there's only a few,
Speaker 1: but they're prom like the very fitting Big Girls Don't Cry.
Speaker 1: Dinosaur had never heard this song before that. No love
Speaker 1: you like a love song? What makes you? That's what
Speaker 1: makes you beautiful? That's not it's not that's what makes
Speaker 1: you beautiful. It's what makes you beautiful. Yeah, okay, and
Speaker 1: take my breath away. There are a lot of fun
Speaker 1: facts about this episode.
Speaker 2: There are, okay, so number one this episode features a
Speaker 2: scene from Funny Girl or Rachel sits in the auditorium
Speaker 2: wearing the same outfit Barbara did in the movie's beginning.
Speaker 2: Oh it was beautiful. It was a bit random, but
Speaker 2: I liked the drama.
Speaker 1: Air mil by Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band
Speaker 1: also played when Quinn runs to tear down the Lucy
Speaker 1: KUBUSI post to report this way, Oh my gosh, Lucy
Speaker 1: ka Boozy.
Speaker 2: Big Girls Don't Cry has different arrangements in the TV
Speaker 2: and studio versions, especially in the course where Kurt sings
Speaker 2: the first part. Instead of Blaine having one solo in
Speaker 2: it and Rachel having the other, they both sang the
Speaker 2: parts together. That's interesting normally, yeah, but it must have
Speaker 2: fit the that I feel like the thing like he
Speaker 2: probably wanted something for the story, Yeah, for.
Speaker 1: Them to enter separately, and so they were able to
Speaker 1: split the music totally. Kurt called Blaine borat and that
Speaker 1: was improvised by Chris because of course I did.
Speaker 2: Wonder because it felt like something Ian would write. But
Speaker 2: right right, that makes sense, oh, Chris. Darren hated Blaine's
Speaker 2: hair gel as the process would take over an hour
Speaker 2: every time and would be quite painful. However, he never
Speaker 2: mentioned how much he hated to anyone, as he still
Speaker 2: felt like the new kid and was scared he would
Speaker 2: get in trouble or annoy people if he complained.
Speaker 1: That sounds like Darren, Yeah, not a complainer, not a complainer.
Speaker 1: But at the end when he comes out with his
Speaker 1: hair on Jel. That's normally what Darren looks like, a
Speaker 1: heightened version if you will. No, no, sure, but that's
Speaker 1: like like Darren just like I don't care, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna do my hair.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, damn no exactly.
Speaker 1: He does it for the you know, he doesn't when
Speaker 1: he has to. But that's Darren, I know, anyway, blaming
Speaker 1: Kurt actics if nobody had ever seen Blaine without jail
Speaker 1: before prom but he has been seen without it, Like, uh,
Speaker 1: I can't go for that, and you make my dreams
Speaker 1: come true. And during Rachel's house party, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I mean that feels right. Yeah, but they were like
Speaker 1: costume themes like Paul character, right, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: technically technically, yeah.
Speaker 2: We can't start doing that on this show.
Speaker 1: That is very very true.
Speaker 2: The whole Santana helping Quinn stand thing was all Nia's idea.
Speaker 2: After the first take that she did that, Eric Stolt said, Naya,
Speaker 2: I really like that you helped her up. Keep doing that.
Speaker 1: Oh of course, Stolt's just taking the reins like he
Speaker 1: normally does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it made sense it would be weird of
Speaker 2: Santana was just watching her like good luck.
Speaker 1: In the scenes at Figgin's office, Brittany says she stopped
Speaker 1: talking for a little while. This may be a reference
Speaker 1: to the fact that she had little to no lines
Speaker 1: from hold on to sixteen to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing that a lot. I'd say this episode
Speaker 2: and the next episode. In this episode before they're doing
Speaker 2: there's a lot of self referential material, which I always
Speaker 2: love and appreciation.
Speaker 1: Love, I love it love.
Speaker 2: Did you watch Boston Legal?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I didn't do they do this to do that like
Speaker 2: shows I felt like, never did that, and Boston Legal
Speaker 2: would sometimes do that at the very end of ants
Speaker 2: reference the episode just happened, and I thought it was
Speaker 2: so good. I love a little metainess.
Speaker 1: And then also Becky playing the xylophone for the announcements
Speaker 1: is a reference to Greece, which I loved.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you get that when you saw it? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay absolutely. In the episode, both Finn and Blaine
Speaker 2: are wearing parts of clothing they've worn before in the breakup.
Speaker 2: Bling wore his black vest and Finn wore his blue
Speaker 2: striped shirt. I'm a sucker for repeating outfits on TV because.
Speaker 1: That's the truth. Yeah, that's the truth. Maybe except for
Speaker 1: Kurts the only exception. This is the second time Finn
Speaker 1: wear his blue striped shirt in a prom episode, the
Speaker 1: first time Rugby. We love this. I love this.
Speaker 2: Quinn and Puck are the only seniors who didn't have
Speaker 2: their photos taken.
Speaker 1: M Our production designer Mark Hutman said, Ryan Murphy was
Speaker 1: driving home one day when he saw the dinosaur ride
Speaker 1: that was used for prom photos and struck a deal
Speaker 1: with the owner to rent it.
Speaker 2: For I feel like this fun fact is a whole
Speaker 2: episode one we need to get Mark Hutman because all
Speaker 2: of them insane stages, the production that everyone makes fun of,
Speaker 2: Like how did the Glee Club affore this? Like they
Speaker 2: couldn't afford a bust to Nationals, but they you could
Speaker 2: do Kurt and lights. Mark did all of that. Mark,
Speaker 2: outside of Andrew and Zach and Brooke obviously, and Ryan
Speaker 2: Murphy was always the other person in the dance rehearsals
Speaker 2: watching what was happening and was just such a genius.
Speaker 1: We just didn't see all that happening. But it's like
Speaker 1: so much work and so much creativity and so much
Speaker 1: like time put into that.
Speaker 2: So the other day I mentioned that podcast I'm obsessed
Speaker 2: with called Hollywood Gold. Yeah, producers. But there was a
Speaker 2: producer talking about past lives and they were talking about
Speaker 2: the things that people pretend to know about, you know,
Speaker 2: like lingo or things, and they it's been too long
Speaker 2: of a time to ask what it actually means, or
Speaker 2: you know, departments they don't really know about. And the
Speaker 2: producer she was saying, she's like, I don't think I
Speaker 2: will ever understand the art department. She's like, that is
Speaker 2: a mystery to me. How you get some infos like
Speaker 2: I don't understand how it works, like how does like
Speaker 2: one plus one equal to like how do you see
Speaker 2: what's on the page? And then like what is the
Speaker 2: process of how it gets from that page to on
Speaker 2: that stage? And so quickly, especially in TV, and I
Speaker 2: fully agree, and getting scripts the day before, Yes, and
Speaker 2: then there was no shortage, like they didn't phone in anything.
Speaker 2: Everything was so brilliant, that's true. I also want to
Speaker 2: ask Ryan. I can't picture Ryan stopping right this car
Speaker 2: asking for dinosaur.
Speaker 1: J mayn I use this for my TV show? I'll
Speaker 1: give you forty dollars. Well, speaking of dinosaurs, it is
Speaker 1: the Dinosaur prom show. Baby Brittany goes into high gear
Speaker 1: as the class president to spearhead the prom. Then after
Speaker 1: prom king and queen nominations are announced, the kids kick
Speaker 1: into campaign mode. In some of the outcasts organize a
Speaker 1: rival anti prom celebration.
Speaker 2: So I love this whole figgins going out. I mean,
Speaker 2: he calls her teenage trollop, which is insane and inappropriate
Speaker 2: but also funny. And I love the fact that she's
Speaker 2: completely abandoned her post as president, has just forgotten that
Speaker 2: it exists.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. It is Brittany, very Brittany.
Speaker 2: Yes. And I enjoyed this storyline because I think a
Speaker 2: lot of times in what is played with Britney's character
Speaker 2: is that because she comes off aloof or maybe dumb,
Speaker 2: which we know she's not. It seems like that's a
Speaker 2: character that you can take advantage of. And I love
Speaker 2: the moments when Brittany exerts her dominance and uses her power.
Speaker 2: In that scene where she's talking to me like the
Speaker 2: prom committee is so good, and she uses that one
Speaker 2: girl for Rachel. It was really well done, really really
Speaker 2: well done. The kid who's like the nerdy one, I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, he's better at artie than I am.
Speaker 1: But he's definitely from the avy club. Definitely. Absolutely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that whole scene is really great.
Speaker 2: I just love getting to watch Heather play instances.
Speaker 1: I'm saying the most as nine things. Ever. She decides
Speaker 1: the theme is going to be dinosaurs, which we are
Speaker 1: all in the new directions, like.
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's how the writer's felt when Ryan
Speaker 2: came in one morning and was like.
Speaker 1: I got a dinosaur.
Speaker 2: The prompting is dinosaurs. Make it work.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of really weird prom themes coming up.
Speaker 1: This is just the beginning.
Speaker 2: Oh good, I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Brundle prom Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Strange, I have an update on the weather for you, Jenna.
Speaker 1: Is it down pouring?
Speaker 2: It's pouring.
Speaker 1: It is still. There's a puddle in my backyard now,
Speaker 1: like a huge puddle. And that was five ten minutes ago. Wow,
Speaker 1: buckle up, I'm going to fall on the side of
Speaker 1: the mountain. Oh my god. This could be the last podcasts. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna see a lot of dinosaurs that prom.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, and we get some great nominations for
Speaker 2: prom king and Queen. There was the sort of insane scene.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Okay, so there's an insane scene where
Speaker 2: Rachel and Becky are in that bathroom right where Becky's
Speaker 2: practicing like her queenness. And Rachel because she's on a
Speaker 2: tear since she bombed her audition and is like, sweetie,
Speaker 2: you need to adjust your expectations, which is like Rachel
Speaker 2: minded business right. First of all, neither of it's like
Speaker 2: you're not getting nominated.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, come on.
Speaker 2: Chill, And then we come to find out. So the
Speaker 2: nominees for the prom king are Rick the Stick, Finn
Speaker 2: and Brittany Jane's reaction to Strange and then Missy Gunderson,
Speaker 2: Satana and Quinn are nominees for prom queen. But all
Speaker 2: that is to say is Helen Mirren, the actual queen,
Speaker 2: is back and Eric Stultz is directing, and maybe that's
Speaker 2: why she's back. I don't know, but I was, oh,
Speaker 2: just tickled because I didn't expect her to ever come back.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take anything, I'll take a word.
Speaker 2: And it's so good, and like hearing her talk about
Speaker 2: being the queen when she obviously played the queen, and
Speaker 2: then hearing her say like don't look at me and
Speaker 2: all those things to the people in the hallway, It's
Speaker 2: like I just wish I could have been in that
Speaker 2: voice over session. I know, like I want to know
Speaker 2: what it feels like for Helen Mire and to read
Speaker 2: these scenes.
Speaker 1: Also one take wonder. I'm sure.
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Also Brittany has all these guidelines for prom. By the way,
Speaker 1: I had no hair gel allowed because the hair jal
Speaker 1: wasn't invented until after the time of the Dynasaur.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people were invented yet either.
Speaker 1: Ian. I call you Ian on that one, and I say, wow, Wow,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Becky because we're talking about the Queen
Speaker 1: Queen Becky, Queen Lauren Potter, who was really expecting to
Speaker 1: be nominated for prom Queen and didn't get it. She
Speaker 1: didn't get the nomination. Her tear on the xylophones.
Speaker 2: It was maybe my single favorite moment of the episode
Speaker 2: because she's just standing there and just flips that shit
Speaker 2: like in the hallway, the huge one, her hitting those
Speaker 2: trays in the lunchline.
Speaker 1: She must have had so much try. It was really great.
Speaker 1: It was really really great, so good.
Speaker 2: And the way I mean, I think if su Sevester
Speaker 2: is remembered for anything, obviously it's wow. It's really boring. Now,
Speaker 2: Jenna told you. It feels like a rainforest told you
Speaker 2: obviously like Sue's one liners are you know a plus plus,
Speaker 2: but her relationship with Becky and also molding Becky into
Speaker 2: this type of person almost like yes at the end
Speaker 2: when you're a bitch, It's like, this is their relationship
Speaker 2: is so special.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. It's my favorite part of
Speaker 1: the episode.
Speaker 2: Queen Becky for sure.
Speaker 1: So Becky Becky doesn't get the nomination, but it didn't matter, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Quinn to get her nomination and it is really, I
Speaker 1: guess Quinn's dream more than anything to get prom queen.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe this is this reminds you of
Speaker 1: something that you Kevin would like with the the feeling
Speaker 1: of like the stakes being really high in high school drama,
Speaker 1: of like wanting prom king and queen, but that it
Speaker 1: does not resonate with me at all. I'm like, really,
Speaker 1: she really wants it that bad, but I'll go with it.
Speaker 1: Quinn's dream is to become prom queen next to getting
Speaker 1: into yell, I guess. And she realizes that she's going
Speaker 1: to get the sympathy vote for being in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: I wonder how that makes already feel.
Speaker 2: I kept waiting for the camera to cut to meat
Speaker 2: and then she stands up a promptent and never do.
Speaker 1: I wish it had just already like stank face, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just furious.
Speaker 2: I what I like about Quinn, despite everything she's been
Speaker 2: through is that she is just as conniving and superficial
Speaker 2: as she's ever been. Right, she lost it, right, and
Speaker 2: it is dark to use her being in a wheelchair
Speaker 2: to get the sympathy.
Speaker 1: Vote I call cringe moment.
Speaker 2: Cringe moment also like in line with her character from
Speaker 2: season one, right right, and also like as high school
Speaker 2: and things are morally and ethically dubious.
Speaker 1: Right well look, and also getting the sympathy vote for
Speaker 1: being in the wheelchair after her car accident is different
Speaker 1: than than faking it to continue with the sympathy votes. Right,
Speaker 1: It's even worse, It gets worse. Yeah, that's why Tina
Speaker 1: had to stop the stutter. Oh man, remember that?
Speaker 2: How could I ever forget?
Speaker 1: I do think though, when Finn talks to Quinn, well,
Speaker 1: Finn decides that he's going to going to help campaign
Speaker 1: with Quinn as King and Queen.
Speaker 2: And Rachel is like, I know Quinn can't reach the
Speaker 2: wall where those posts are. I miss, so like, what
Speaker 2: are you two doing together? Rachel is just chaotic from
Speaker 2: the start of this episode because it really is someone spiraling,
Speaker 2: but she's masking it. Where she goes from this full
Speaker 2: delusion of my prom dress is the most important dress
Speaker 2: I'm going to wear besides my wedding dress, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to like my prom is the thing I need
Speaker 2: to be queen, and that completely gets shut down early,
Speaker 2: and then she's upset that Finn is helping Quinn. But like, girl,
Speaker 2: you're not nominated. I know we passed this. Finn's getting
Speaker 2: married to you.
Speaker 1: I know, she says, I'm We're engaged. What else can
Speaker 1: I do? He's like, this girl has nothing and you
Speaker 1: have everything. But I guess it is high school. I
Speaker 1: did miss the little bit of that triangle a little bit,
Speaker 1: so I'm not mad at it.
Speaker 2: I love how it makes no sense, it makes high
Speaker 2: school sense. It makes me completely high school sense. This
Speaker 2: is the prom dress. Isn't most important thing at a time?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean how many kids did we grow up with.
Speaker 2: Do you think they were planning their wedding dress and
Speaker 2: prom dress within the same year?
Speaker 1: Oh a lot of people, I'm shure. Yeah, I wore
Speaker 1: a white dress to my prom. It wasn't a prom.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a wedding dress though. It was like
Speaker 1: a Hawaiian flowy looking thing, very cheche vibes. Oh that's nice,
Speaker 1: it's fine. But it was a big thing. Like in
Speaker 1: our town, we we would go prom dress shopping and
Speaker 1: you'd write down when you purchased your dress, you'd write
Speaker 1: down your name the school you're going to. So that
Speaker 1: way they made sure there were no doubles, so like
Speaker 1: people wouldn't be wearing the same show up in the
Speaker 1: same dress.
Speaker 2: Smart.
Speaker 1: It is smart.
Speaker 2: That only happens because you've had some parents marching in there,
Speaker 2: streaming at them.
Speaker 1: Because it's like a dance mom One too many times
Speaker 1: must have happened, and they're like, okay, we got to
Speaker 1: come up with the system exactly.
Speaker 2: We didn't even have from him. I went to like
Speaker 2: some weird high school that was only junior and senior year,
Speaker 2: and so we got them to throw us a like
Speaker 2: sort of prom. It was a formal, but it was
Speaker 2: as close as we could get. And hmm, yeah that
Speaker 2: was it. And I looked insane. I really thought I
Speaker 2: was dressing I was wearing all these things I got
Speaker 2: from my Goodwill. Well, I really really thought I was cool.
Speaker 1: Goodell, There's no I mean Goodwill is cool now, It's
Speaker 1: just it wasn't cool in high school.
Speaker 2: I think Goodwill could have always been cool if you
Speaker 2: had a good sense of style and c.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand, I understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine was off.
Speaker 1: You know what. Everybody blooms into verty times, Kevin, I'm
Speaker 1: still waiting. So Quinn is is in physical therapy. We
Speaker 1: see in physical therapy with Joe and she is almost walking.
Speaker 1: This is a miracle. It has been three episodes. She
Speaker 1: is almost walking, but she can walk, and she's pretending
Speaker 1: for the sympathy vote, which is bad.
Speaker 2: Well, I will say it is a big leap from
Speaker 2: walking once in physical therapy and like just learning to
Speaker 2: stand again and then being like, oh she can walk,
Speaker 2: this is this is messed up? Well no, she is
Speaker 2: just standing standing like she's just starting.
Speaker 1: Fair.
Speaker 2: So calm down, Finn, calm down. You can't.
Speaker 1: We can't hate Quinn all that much, you know, we
Speaker 1: can't hate on her that much. But she'll do something
Speaker 1: right at the end, anyway, She'll she'll she'll remedy the situation.
Speaker 2: She always does.
Speaker 1: Do you want to talk about prom. You want to
Speaker 1: talk about anti prom, Let's talk about anti prom. Okay,
Speaker 1: So obviously Rachel is and a tailspin. Then their audition bombed.
Speaker 1: Finn's campaigning with Quinn nightmare and she's feeling down. Try
Speaker 1: to take Becky down with her did not work, and
Speaker 1: she decides, because you know, Blaine's upset with it, anti
Speaker 1: hair gel, I'm going to throw an anti prom. All
Speaker 1: the characters' reactions to this gold like, how dare you
Speaker 1: make this about yourself because you didn't get your way
Speaker 1: Now you're trying to mess up our night too, Santana
Speaker 1: saying it like it is.
Speaker 2: It was very nigh. It was very like, thank you
Speaker 2: for actually speaking up and saying what's actually happening here?
Speaker 2: How many times in our lives did she do that often? Often?
Speaker 2: And she wasn't afraid to get in trouble for it?
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, she just loved to stand up for
Speaker 1: the team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it felt like that. This felt loaded like
Speaker 2: it did.
Speaker 1: So they're going to do an anti prom in a hotel.
Speaker 1: They got a hold tell and they invited everybody, and
Speaker 1: Santana speaks for mine. But Becky's going to go obviously
Speaker 1: because she's angry. Puck is going to go because he's
Speaker 1: having an existential crisis and curtain Blaine, I guess are
Speaker 1: going to go.
Speaker 2: I just feel like we're not getting enough of Puck's
Speaker 2: reaction to things happening to him. There's this this is
Speaker 2: a really nice moment, like he and Becky have this
Speaker 2: great moment there, but it's like he failed and he's
Speaker 2: not getting out of high school, and we.
Speaker 1: Just are sort of like he's going to wait to
Speaker 1: the next episode heaven, Oh right, right, but it's been episodes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2: It was like the final moment of that episode, like failing.
Speaker 1: No, you're right, and we just skip over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I know it's coming up. And I really
Speaker 2: love Puck and Becky together. It was just a really
Speaker 2: as him in the underwear. It was insane, but it
Speaker 2: was a sweet thing. And I think this episode is
Speaker 2: coming to a head and everybody is doing like the
Speaker 2: morally good thing, which is nice to see. And Finn
Speaker 2: obviously gets upset when he finds out and catches Quinn
Speaker 2: standing in the bathroom, right, and so he storms out
Speaker 2: and he's like, I can't do this, and he goes
Speaker 2: to the anti Prom.
Speaker 1: Rachel's magically and her.
Speaker 2: Rachel is in full golden globes giche.
Speaker 1: Like, well, they use the excuse that Rachel's going to
Speaker 1: they're they're doing their prom prom dress try on fashion
Speaker 1: show for the anti prom.
Speaker 2: But I'm sorry that John the god. The dress phenomenal.
Speaker 2: She was Oscar level like it's like one of these
Speaker 2: things is not like the others in this episode and
Speaker 2: like everybody else's a normal ear. Dress was actually also
Speaker 2: like fashion. It was great, it was short, it was
Speaker 2: really loved. We loved that dress. But it was just
Speaker 2: even when they cut to her later on at the
Speaker 2: actual problem when she shows up, yes, and it's like, damn,
Speaker 2: I know, I'm like, that is her.
Speaker 4: On a red carpet, yes, long like done, like that
Speaker 4: is not a seventeen year old and it's somebody who
Speaker 4: did their own hair makeup in the hotel.
Speaker 1: In about ten minutes. So Ifin and Rachel go to prom,
Speaker 1: they decide they're going to go. Kis then says, look,
Speaker 1: there's no nothing, no problem without you. You're his promise crap.
Speaker 1: So they go to the prom together, Becky and Puck.
Speaker 1: He crowns Becky anti prom queen h very so happy,
Speaker 1: so cute and happy. I know, I really like that storyline.
Speaker 1: And then we're We're from Owen. Curtin and Blaine also join,
Speaker 1: and Blaine shows up as Darren with no hair gel.
Speaker 2: I really did love the moment of Puck and Becky
Speaker 2: walking in and Sue being so happy, and Becky having
Speaker 2: that moment where she breaks breaks rank with Sue and
Speaker 2: distracts her so Puck can spike the punch and then
Speaker 2: he doesn't put one for himself, he just pours for
Speaker 2: her and Sue putting on those glasses and just looking
Speaker 2: aways like just greade a high school Shenanigans.
Speaker 1: We love that the punch making its a return to
Speaker 1: prom as well.
Speaker 2: I mean, Sue getting mad at you because she thinks
Speaker 2: and she hates your trends.
Speaker 1: She's spiking the I'm spiking the juice, and she hates
Speaker 1: my dress, just hating Auntina. Don't worry. Next episode, she's
Speaker 1: coming before everybody. Yeah, we're it Prom. And the thing
Speaker 1: I remember the most about Prom was Heather's dinosaur ance.
Speaker 1: Absolutely first I thought, my first thought was, oh my god,
Speaker 1: look at Heather. She's pebbles from oh yeah, from Flintstones.
Speaker 1: Then I thought, oh my god, she's barefoot, and then
Speaker 1: I thought, oh my god, this is the best dance ever.
Speaker 1: Those dinosaur heads though too with all of our friend answers.
Speaker 2: Was crazy, I mean, but it's so much fun to watch.
Speaker 2: Like the crazier thing they have to do the better.
Speaker 2: I don't think I knew about that.
Speaker 1: So when they showed up a problem doing that, I
Speaker 1: was like, wows, this is.
Speaker 2: How did you feel about? So when Mercedes and Sam
Speaker 2: are dancing on the dance floor, Mercedes sees her ex
Speaker 2: dancing with the one and only Brittany by Parks, who
Speaker 2: eventually becomes one of the assistant choreographers and has tour
Speaker 2: with us as a dancer.
Speaker 1: One of our great friends.
Speaker 2: Yes, like one of our very best friends. It was
Speaker 2: just the most talented. And there she is, there she
Speaker 2: is speaking to him. Oh god, I love her so much.
Speaker 1: I love her so much. I was at my six
Speaker 1: am workout the other day and who taps me on
Speaker 1: my back, my shoulder. It was Brittany Park.
Speaker 2: We went dump together. How was it working out with her?
Speaker 1: It was great.
Speaker 2: She could be scared because she's like, you need to.
Speaker 1: Be scared a beast. No, I'd be scared to tap
Speaker 1: dance or dance next to her working on next to her.
Speaker 1: I'm not scared, that's true. Tap dancing, Yeah, I'm scared.
Speaker 2: I went and saw her show in New York in
Speaker 2: the fall that was at City Center, yep, and it
Speaker 2: was a Save On Glover and every night was improvised
Speaker 2: like where her role was. It was like her and
Speaker 2: two other people just they played like save On, sort
Speaker 2: of like shadow, and so he would improvise what he
Speaker 2: was doing and they just had to go with it.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: And it was unreal. That's how good Britney Parks.
Speaker 1: I took tap lance and listens with her and it
Speaker 1: was humbling. No, it's more than it's more than humbling.
Speaker 2: She's taught dance classes for us, like for fun. They're amazing,
Speaker 2: but we've had everyone's humbled every time.
Speaker 1: Every time, especially with tap, I would look like a
Speaker 1: tiny dinosaur. I actually look becaus I under shore dancing
Speaker 1: tap dancing.
Speaker 2: See it's not swamp hands, it is rex hands.
Speaker 1: I could have been in that number as a dinosaur
Speaker 1: because that's how my hands rest all the time. That's
Speaker 1: just comfortable for me.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of good musical numbers. How I loved
Speaker 2: love You like a love song because also it gave
Speaker 2: me my this is Nia Rivera as a pop star,
Speaker 2: like this could be her.
Speaker 1: Song my foight she sounded so good.
Speaker 2: And I love watching you guys dance with her.
Speaker 1: That dance came back like I knew that forever h
Speaker 1: I was dancing that with While I was watching, I
Speaker 1: was like, why do I not? I love doing that number?
Speaker 1: That was really fun.
Speaker 2: Performing at the proms was so much easy and fun. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 1: It felt like there was not a lot of steady
Speaker 1: cam on those numbers or like it wasn't like shooting
Speaker 1: a regular musical number because you're watching it from the stage, right,
Speaker 1: You're like kind of from the view of the prom
Speaker 1: versus like it being an immersive experience for the viewer.
Speaker 1: So it was a much easier shoot. And also the
Speaker 1: problem songs were always really fun, and I think stults
Speaker 1: because he was doing them, was also really good about
Speaker 1: You're showing a lot of other activity going on, exactly
Speaker 1: a lot of cutaways, and it also just feels very real,
Speaker 1: like you're just in the action seeing it from wherever.
Speaker 1: That's right, he wasn't overshooting it. We skipped over Big
Speaker 1: Girls Don't Cry, which we opened with as well, and
Speaker 1: Big Girls Don't Cry reminded me a little bit of Breakaway.
Speaker 1: Did you get that vibe a little bit? Yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 2: It also just felt really it came on and it
Speaker 2: was a little jarring ye to me, yes, but also
Speaker 2: just really funny because it is jarring. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 2: funny and like Rachel get it together.
Speaker 1: Girl, Yeah, yeah, totally totally. And then what makes You Beautiful,
Speaker 1: which I'm so excited that we did that song. I
Speaker 1: would like some more boy band songs, yes please.
Speaker 2: It has such a good time. Also, I love like
Speaker 2: your guys's reaction whenever we did pop like boy band
Speaker 2: type numbers because you all lost it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like I was a Beatles fan again.
Speaker 2: It was so much fun. Well again, not again, but
Speaker 2: and I just wanted to say I think Samuel Larson
Speaker 2: sounds incredible amazing on the song because I didn't remember
Speaker 2: if I sang on the song, and then the hook
Speaker 2: comes in and I started, I was like, my voice
Speaker 2: sounds high, and then halfway to the hook it switched
Speaker 2: to Samuel. I'm like, ah, there, it is a great
Speaker 2: I might give this to him. He has the range,
Speaker 2: but I'm really the boy band boy. But I loved
Speaker 2: him on this type of music.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's very complimentary for him. I like it a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: For some reason, my brain must have forgotten about Dancing Queen,
Speaker 1: which we did last season. Ye fair, but I thought
Speaker 1: they were gonna do it again, to do it again?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at having a recurring number every year.
Speaker 2: I guess that's don't stop believing, isn't it?
Speaker 1: But right exactly? But taking my breathway is funny. It's
Speaker 1: a very eighties like John Hughes. Again, I was a fan,
Speaker 1: and the surprise of everybody like looking and seeing like
Speaker 1: Quinn's stand up was also kind of gampy and funny,
Speaker 1: but it was. Yeah, it was cute And this is
Speaker 1: our you guys. This is the last problem with the
Speaker 1: original ogs, like all everybody together.
Speaker 2: And because it's that Quinn wants to do something nice
Speaker 2: because also so Santana and Quinn are signed to telling
Speaker 2: the votes even though they make up two thirds of
Speaker 2: who's nominated, so random for Queen. Yeah, and it's a
Speaker 2: really nice scene between Quinn and Santana and Quinn wins
Speaker 2: realizes it actually doesn't mean anything to her. What I
Speaker 2: thought was funny is Quinn being like Santana. We've had
Speaker 2: the ideal high school careers, and it's like, have you, Quinn?
Speaker 1: Have you right?
Speaker 2: No one since someone on a soap opera has been
Speaker 2: through as much as you, like Quinn could have been
Speaker 2: in one life to live for General's Hospital and been
Speaker 2: a normal character.
Speaker 1: It's true, she said the hardest one. She had a baby,
Speaker 1: she had a wheelchair, She's tried to steal a baby.
Speaker 2: She started smoking on the bleachers and cut her hair
Speaker 2: off and dyed it pink, like you've lived a thousand lives.
Speaker 1: She has. But you know, I'm glad that she has
Speaker 1: that perspective and magically got into Yale as well.
Speaker 2: She really can't do it all. Women can do it all.
Speaker 1: She they do it, They do it all. Well, Quinn
Speaker 1: does it so much as she decides to give away
Speaker 1: prom Queen, and they decide.
Speaker 2: To Figin's response. So Finn wins prom king and then
Speaker 2: Fagin's opens the envelope and calls Kurt up and he's
Speaker 2: nervous because he's gonna you know, crown whoever wins, and
Speaker 2: he's like and for a second year in a row.
Speaker 2: It's like the riding candidate has overwhelmingly won.
Speaker 1: Rachel fing Berry, this doesn't shit right with me. She
Speaker 1: was shocked. Shocked, yes, she was like.
Speaker 2: And then she and Finn have their dance and Finn's like,
Speaker 2: you deserve this, you earn this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, like I don't know, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, like after choking, you know, at her audition,
Speaker 1: but like, I don't know, she's still gonna She's gonna
Speaker 1: be fine.
Speaker 2: It was nice and her like reaction was great. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it made a really nice sweet moment with her
Speaker 2: and Finn.
Speaker 1: Right, and they're bringing it together because their their time
Speaker 1: is almost done and at McKinley, so I guess we've
Speaker 1: got to give it, got to give it to the people.
Speaker 1: Finchell is still going strong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I love how like Quinn's form of giving
Speaker 2: back and doing something good is to just like help
Speaker 2: out one of her friends.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure, like you, there's other people.
Speaker 1: I also love that she's like this is some kind
Speaker 1: of joke or something. I mean, like Kurt, like Kurt
Speaker 1: last year, is someone gonna throw pig's blood on me next?
Speaker 1: Like Carrie, and I'm like, just you wait, bitch, just
Speaker 1: you wait. Peter Cohen Chang's going to get chat on,
Speaker 1: so don't worry at her problem. Oh that's the next problem,
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Jenna, Yeah, I'm very excited for that.
Speaker 2: There's a little observation here, like an extra I think
Speaker 2: fun fact, yeah, or easter egg that our producer Sam
Speaker 2: noticed that Leah's nails are different in every single scene.
Speaker 1: I noticed that. I didn't notice that he did. Uh huh.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they are like long, and I wonder if it
Speaker 1: was because she was like planning to shoot for prom
Speaker 1: that day that she was like, oh, I'll just do
Speaker 1: the scene like this. But they were very different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very different. They made me want to get my mails
Speaker 1: done though, to be very honest, they like they look good.
Speaker 2: It's hard to plan for those things at this point too.
Speaker 2: I'm imagining we're shooting a couple episodes at the same time.
Speaker 1: Totally. Maybe maybe it depends on Xi gets the job done.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's create the performances. Oh, okay, big girls don't
Speaker 1: cry b b b mm hmm dinosaur.
Speaker 2: B plus.
Speaker 1: Okay, given, I'm giving it an a for its weirdness.

Speaker 1: breath Away B B plus plus Yeah, I'll go to

Speaker 2: It was like a really good It did feel very
Speaker 2: eighties John Hughes like classic awkward, weird high school.
Speaker 1: What was that one in romy Michelle's.
Speaker 2: Oh was it?
Speaker 1: Maybe?
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why I'm thinking that I feel like high
Speaker 2: It looks like it. Maybe how Quinn's dressed something about it?
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed. Also, by the way, my brother texted me
Speaker 1: that the girls are now old enough. My nieces were
Speaker 1: not old enough. Well, my second niece is only wasn't
Speaker 1: born when Glee was out. Now they are older, and
Speaker 1: they are they have Glee dance parties after dinner every
Speaker 1: single night, and they're listening to like all the songs.
Speaker 1: My brother's doing all the like the appropriate ones and
Speaker 1: lots of Dan Jenna and stuff. And so he was
Speaker 1: texting me the night that they were listening to prod
Speaker 1: Mary and He's like this Corey line at the beginning
Speaker 1: that was so straight, so awkward. But they are in
Speaker 1: their little sofa chairs like doing the choreography, and he's like,
