First Respodcast: A 9-1-1 Watch-Along

Join us as we discuss 9-1-1's second Halloween episode, Monsters. It's Halloween in June! Just like Hallmark's Christmas in July, but with fewer uptight city women learning to let loose through the love of conservative-coded small town tradesmen, and more homoerotic, technically-platonic lovers' quarrels in between pedestrians getting embedded in windshields.

Hear us and guest Kyla (a.k.a. Ryan Murphy racism scholar and lukewarm Jukebox the Ghost fan) break down one of 9-1-1's most misguided episodes ever: the one where they try to tackle police brutality. It's a bit of a doozy! Sorry this episode is so long, but there was just so much to unpack. Kyla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kyla.atr/ Check out our Patreon: https://patreon.com/FirstRespo...

Hear us discuss the birth of Clipboard Buck, the beginning of the fabled lawsuit arc, and an episode that is ultimately teeming with drama and pettiness at every turn. Check out our brand new Patreon!! Including our first bonus episode, in which we discuss Ryan Guzman erotic thriller The Boy Next Door: https://patreon.com/FirstRespodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign...

Discussing the thrilling culmination of the tsunami storyline, Ryan and Jane get a case of the late night recording sesh sillies. Does divorce guy fall into a meat grinder as he so clearly deserves? Does Athena manage to waste city resources going after looters without shooting any dogs? Does Buck buy any cupcakes at the cupcakery, or is he too sad? The answers to all these questions and more in t...

You asked and we delivered: A final depressing bonus episode of our thoughts on the disappointing rollercoaster that was 9-1-1 season 8 and its finale. Our thoughts were a little scattered due to our emotional investment, so here are some time stamps to help you through it: 00:00 Intro/Opening thoughts on season 8 4:29 Thoughts on the finale 7:45 Preliminary Bobby death thoughts (8:57 - 9:53 Grey’...

Today we really get into 9-1-1's famous tsunami arc! Hear us praise Oliver Stark's performance, discuss whether Christopher was after Lily Blossom Bloom's nachos, and go on an embarrassing tangent trying to figure out what we know about Jacques Cousteau.

It's season 3 time, baby! Forget whatever cold emptiness you might be feeling in the wake of 9-1-1's season finale, because we're traveling back in time to this show's golden age. Hear about Ryan's controversial hatred of Phil Collins, the dark gritty version of Glee's Terri Schuester storyline, and Christopher canonically being Buck's child. Check out our brand new Patreon!! Including our first b...

It's our season 2 FINALE!!!! WOOOOOO!!!! We've made it through another full season and our commitment to this podcast is feeling realer than ever. In this iconic episode, Bathena make major strides, an influencer has a maggot in her face, and Buck becomes a Girl Who Got Stuck. Arguably one of the most stuck girls ever! Yay!!! Proudcts!!!!!! Bones season 3 spoilers from 56:27 - 57:33 Twitter: https...

In this week's episode, we get rightfully pressed about the cruel fridging of our beautiful wife Shannon Diaz. Also a serial package bomber starts trying to kill people, I guess. BIG SPOILERS for Grey's Anatomy season 11 from 1:41:10 - 1:43:21 Twitter: https://x.com/FirstRespodcast Jane: https://x.com/jane_mulcahy Ryan: https://x.com/dancommadirty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRespodcast

Hey guys, awkward timing, we know, but it's time for our discussion of Bobby's second origin story episode! Remember, we record these a week in advance and did not yet know the events of 8x15, and certainly did not know they would be permanent! Just pretend it's still season 2 and laugh along with us as we reminisce and investigate the bizarre rarepair of Sal x Tommy. All one can do is laugh! Ha!...

This week we've got a fun concept episode in which 9-1-1 does Ocean's 11! Did the 118 do it?? No. It's immediately clear that the answer is no. But don't tell that to the useless detectives on the case!

Now that Maddie's harrowing ordeal is over, she and the 118 try to pick up the pieces and move on with their lives in 9-1-1 season 2 episode 14, only to find that it's not as simple as just putting the event behind them. It doesn't help when your Computer Assisted Dispatch system goes down and you have to go back to using paper maps like in the olden days. Hear us roast some of the show's gay male...

Join us in covering one of 9-1-1's most harrowing sagas, Maddie's kidnapping and subsequent final showdown with abusive ex-husband Doug. A taut and effective thriller of an episode from GOOD writer Kristen Reidel! Plus hear a little tangent on why we abandoned ABC's Doctor Odyssey at 7:14. And we somehow still find a way to tie it back to hating Tommy Kinard by the end. Twitter: https://x.com/Firs...

Content warning: This episode includes some mild talk of suicide, including a reference in our opening bit. It's all related to the content of 8x09, but if you haven't seen said episode or don't want to relive it, be aware! Enjoy this already obsolete bonus discussion of 9-1-1 season 8 episodes 9 and 10. Fair warning, this is a bit of a cynical episode in which we air a lot of grievances with seas...

In this week's episode, everything's coming up CHIMNEYYYYY!! Except back in his 2005-set backstory episode, he was still just Howie Han, ambitious but unsuccessful jack of all trades. Little did poor Howie know, if he had just pitched the Snuggie about 5 years later, he would've been rich! Unfortunately, he had to go seek his fortune at the most racist firehouse in southern California instead. Twi...

In this week's episode, we discuss 9-1-1's Lifetime movie-esque season 2 mid-season premiere, New Beginnings! Buck says congrats Maddie on her sassy new lob! We talk about Flight Risk (2025) a little! Jane doesn't know how firetrucks work apparently! Baby, there's a shark on the freeway!

This week we cover 9-1-1 season 2's midseason finale- also our first Christmas episode! Happy Christmas in March, and a merry Krampusnacht to all! Anybody in this thread seen McBain (1991)?

We've hit our first 'Begins' episode! Let us take you through the backstory of one strong female firefighter Henrietta Wilson. This is kind of a slow burn episode where we gradually realize what we thought was a well-written episode may not have been so well-written after all. As this comes to us from the same writer as season 1, episode 9, TRAPPED, we have no choice to conclude that perhaps write...

This week we're joined by a VERY special guest, self-described niche internet microcelebrity Justin Gross! Justin was a contestant on gay reality dating show For the Love of DILFs, and if you haven't heard of it, trust that it's about to change your life. Luckily, Justin was happy to take part in our copaganda complaining, fake wine analysis, and Taylor Kelly stan-a-thon. We did go on some longer...

Join us for a long, chaotic, partially late-night discussion of 9-1-1's first Halloween episode! Just in time for Valentine's day! There's nothing more romantic than pulling the plug on your estranged father, finally moving on from your long-distance situationship, rekindling your toxic trauma-bonded lavender marriage, and a GHOST calling 9-1-1! Twitter: https://x.com/FirstRespodcast Jane: https:/...

Both Ryan and Jane felt a little off during this recording (a one-day something in retrograde perhaps) and it contributed to a rather cynical, chaotic atmosphere. Hear us sing the praises of mean girl icon Taylor Kelly, argue very intensely about whether the lsd-laced dessert eaten by the 118 was fudge or brownies, and educate about the importance of attentive driving while listening to First Resp...

It's AWFUL nice to see you, listeners. Today's episode opens with a discussion of mostly-forgotten entries in the Great American Songbook and closes with a discussion of the various cons of potentially killing off Bobby Nash. Enjoy, you awful people! Twitter: https://x.com/FirstRespodcast Jane: https://x.com/jane_mulcahy Ryan: https://x.com/dancommadirty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstResp...

Join us for a chaotic breakdown of 9-1-1 season 2, episode 4, Stuck, not to be confused with 9-1-1 season 1, episode 9, Trapped. Featuring our first guest, gay twitter microcelebrity Brooklyn from Belfast, in a silly little segment that may or may not have been a total bust. Also, we learned of legendary filmmaker David Lynch's passing while on the air, so enjoy that! RIP to the big boy! Twitter:...

In this squeakquel to our first two-part episode, we discuss season 2 episode 3, "Help Is Not Coming." And you'd better believe no one is coming to help you escape our 15-minute ramble about Grey's Anatomy and Lin-Manuel Miranda that opens this episode.

On today's respodcast episode, we unpack the first half of 9-1-1's earthquake two-parter. Featuring Glee's own Andrea Carmichael a.k.a. Entitled Woman, a child named Kat, a dog named Paisley, the first appearance of 9-1-1 icons Christopher Diaz and Josh Russo, and Jane NOT hating on Eddie but merely criticizing him a measured and appropriate amount.
