It's another double feature episode. We're covering both S1E11, "Hairography" and S1E12, "Mattress." Since nothing really happens in "Hairography," and a whole lot more goes down in "Mattress," we thought we'd combine them. 2 for 1 style. Today we ask ourselves if Kurt and Rachel are ever really friends, realize we have more feelings about Terri...

Every episode has been leading up to this moment...an Artie-centric episode!  Well, mostly.  It counts.

This episode rates 3 whole Kevins (a podcast high!) Subs...

Adults act inappropriately, Kristin Chenoweth is underutilized, Mav and Emily get distracted by The X-Files, and Bad Guy Finn Hudson makes an appearance. Tonight we talk about S1E5, "The Rhodes Not Taken," guest starring Kristin Chenoweth. The moral of this episode? Your dreams are bigger than a dude.  (Also, just what was Isabelle Wright talking about?) This episode rates half a Kevin....

This is Episode 4: Toxic Masculinity Ruins the Party. Tonight we look back at S1Ep4, "Preggers," and talk climate change, how toxic masculinity will always fuck everything up, how the character of Severus Snape is the hill Mav and Emily will die on, and oh yeah, some Glee happens. This episode ranks only half a Kevin. We recorded this episode at the beginning of December so. We’re sorry...

Just in time to help distract from your relatives, we've got a podcast! Welcome to episode three of Glee on the Rocks: an unofficial Glee podcast.
