Settle For Me: A Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Podcast by TV Winner

To make up for our absence, we've got a very odd mix of "spooky" TV faves for you to celebrate Halloween! It's like when you look at your trick-or-treat bag at the end of the night and you've got chocolate, and taffy, and a bag of popcorn, and like a toy, and maybe a rock? *Back next week with regular programming! *Fingers crossed* Get social with us @tvwinnerpod on all the stuff.

OOPS. We'll be back on Halloween with something spooky--and we'll be back to regularly scheduled programming on Thursday, Nov. 7.  Stay tuned, Hannah & Beth

We're back with more nonsense, this time of the very drunken variety. We've got college kids attempting to get through 147 bottles of wine, and we've got two 16 year-olds having a midlife crisis and singing the blues about it. It's wild! Join us, won't you? And don't forget the body glitter! *Note: we call the Fresh Meat character of "Howard" by the name Harold throughout. Sorry to anyone who care...

10 years and 2 days ago, the NBC series  Community came into our lives. Today, we finally feel qualified to decide which of its episodes is the best of the best. We've got two classics going head to head with a conversation that celebrates how Abed is the best, Britta is the worst, Pierce is the actual worst, and we bring up some controversially lukewarm feelings about  Pulp Fiction !  Episodes: ...

Okay, we've talked PARTIES, but now we're talking teen parties. You know -- those over-the-top, guilty pleasure, scandalous ragers attended by 20-somethings pretending to be in high school that TV shows LOVE TO AIR.

We are giving you quite a double feature with this one, folks! In the battle for best "real time" episode (that is, an episode that tracks about 45 minutes or 22 minutes of the characters' lives) we've got one of the most devastating episodes of TV...ever? up against a show about nothing.  Episodes:  Buffy the Vampire Slayer  5x16 "The Body" [Hulu] vs. Seinfeld  2x11 "Chinese Restaurant" [Hulu] Ge...

This week we talk all about two instances of a long night that takes several turns for the crazy, the outlandish, the dangerous and the murderous. We've got boats, dancing, lions, alcohol, God, French sailors, headshots, knives and a lot of blood. Check it out! Episodes:  The Leftovers 3x05 "It's a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt World" [HBO] vs. The End of the Fucking World 1x03 "Episode Three" [Netflix]...

Hello, and welcome to a very special episode of TV Winner: our first "Best Of"! This week, totally by accident and not because it's our 50th episode, we are changing things up and pitting two episodes of one of our mutually beloved shows against each other. We hope that we make Abbi and Ilana proud as we discuss our two favorite half-hours of  Broad City .   EPISODES: Broad City  1x10 and 2x05: "T...

Get ready for one show that never was and a show that was... but should it have been? Backdoor Pilots are the hotly debated, much beloved, and honestly universal shame of the TV industry. And we're talking about two of our favorites. Come with us to New Orleans... and the '80s? We guess? Let's do it.   EPISODES:  Gossip Girl  2x24 "Valley Girls" (5/11/09) vs. Vampire Diaries  4x20 "The Originals"...

That's all she wrote, folks.  Game of Thrones is no more. Join us for our most bewildered and profoundly disappointed conversation yet -- AND the first one to feature a real special guest who didn't have to leave for a flooded house. We talk Targaryens, Starks, Bran the Broken, Good Boys (tm), Drogon's incredible understanding of metaphors, and more! BYE BYE THRONES. IT'S BEEN REAL.   Email your t...

We're back! We've got coincidentally what you might consider the opposite of our previous Crossover episode: the Standalone! It's when a show has one episode that can easily be plucked out from the rest, and which tells its own  standalone story. Don't understand? Don't worry, we try and pin the definition down several times.  When we're not defining TV terminology, we are discussing these shows: ...

Do you hear the ringing? Well, Daenerys does and she doesn't give A SHIT, FOOL! In this special episode we talk about the penultimate episode of  Game of Throne s, "The Bells." We cover every major moment, from Varys' jewelry removal to Qyburn getting "yeeted" and Cersei boot-scootin' it out of the way. Along the way Hannah references the Office twice, while Beth again brings up The Pirates of the...

We're back with our numerous opinions on  Game of Thrones ' final season, this week with an installment discussing the "The Long Night" and "The Last of the Starks." One episode is pretty great, one is pretty not.  ALSO Beth has returned to the cold, fickle arms of GoT after 3 seasons gone, so we are both (mostly) informed. We discuss in depth here all of the things you want to hear about: the dar...

This week we finally talk about a common storytelling device: The Crossover Episode(s)! Most crossover episodes are not that great, but we found two that are pretty epic in different ways.  The shows (and one movie) we talk about this week include: Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile , Special , Bonding , I Think You Should Leave , Lunatics, New Girl & Brooklyn Nine Nine, Cougar Town & Comm...
