"Competitive Ecology" (S3E3) may be many things: A treatise on film noir, a commentary on social toxicity, and even a nonsensical foray into LEGO extremism. But at its core is a love story between a man and his turtle. This is why we do this show.

With all of Community's Season 2 episodes recapped and reviewed, the CR101 crew steps back to look at the entire run to see how this stretch of Greendale adventures went. What emerged as the cream of the crop? What were the episodes everyone hated? Find out in this episode!

Season 2 gets wrapped up in a slam-bang, star-studded paintball finale! The full CR101 crew is here to revel in “For a Few Paintballs More” (S2E24), the second part of a nail-biting two-parter.

It's the very end... of the school year, at least, with "Applied Anthropology and Culinary Arts" (S2E22)! As everyone -- including a record number of side characters -- gets stuck in a classroom while Shirley gives birth, the CR101 crew is there to delight in the bon mots, high fives, and bizarre Chang tales.

Making up for last episode’s sub-sub-par outing is Season 2’s “Paradigms of Human Memory” AKA “the best clip show ever made for broadcast television.” The CR101 crew feast on a nonstop stream of sight gags, unmade episodes, and hilarious callbacks. Let’s hope their sides won’t split, because that would be gross. Listen to CR101 on  ⁠⁠Anchor⁠⁠ ,  ⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠ ,  ⁠⁠Breaker⁠⁠ ,  ⁠⁠Google Podcasts⁠⁠ , ...

“Custody Law and Eastern European Diplomacy” (S2E18) is not merely an awkward title to say, it’s awkward to handle! On one hand, we have one of the better Britta outings in this season, but on the other hand… unfunny war crimes and kidnapping? How will the CR101 crew evaluate this dichotomy?  Listen to CR101 on  ⁠Anchor⁠ ,  ⁠Spotify⁠ ,  ⁠Breaker⁠ ,  ⁠Google Podcasts⁠ ,  ⁠Pocket Casts⁠ ,  ⁠Radio Pu...

With a dramatic switch of camera style and the revelation that Pierce is dying (or not), the CR101 crew rush to the hospital to oversee the “bequeathings” of an insane man.

Love is in the air — or at least a fae mischief as the puckish CR101 crew tackles Community’s second Valentine’s Day episode, “Early 21st Century Romanticism” (S2E15)! With four uneven subplots at play, what will reign supreme: Pierce’s drug haze, Britta’s virtue signaling, Troy and Abed’s love triangle, or Jeff’s surprise party? We all know the answer: It’s a taco briefcase. Listen to CR101 on  ⁠...

After a lengthy break from covering season 2, the full CR101 crew is back to tackle "Celebrity Pharmacology" (S2E13)! It's a weird, goofy, and surprisingly controversial episode as Thomas, Al, Heather, and Justin debate the Crayon outfit, Chang's unnerving smile, drug-free baseballs, Tim Tam slams, and more!

It's the mid-season break here at Community Rewatching 101, and so the crew is changing pace by watching a couple of the Community College Chronicles webisodes!

Who's finding river fingers with cute boys? Who's making kettle corn for the whole study group?

You would think, this being a Community rewatch podcast and all, that the CR101 crew would actually talk about that show. But apparently if they're given any opportunity to sound off about Farscape, that's all they're going to jaw about. Well, that and the darkest Shirley episode of all time.

With Abed learning how to use his observational skills for evil and Troy and Jeff literally jumping for joy, "Aerodynamics of Gender" swaps personalities and makes us all yearn for a trampoline once again.
