Description

This podcast covers New Girl Season 1, Episode 12, The Landlord, which originally aired on February 7th, 2012 and was directed by Peyton Reed and written by a whole team: Berkley Johnson & Josh Malmuth (teleplay) and Joe Port & Joe Wiseman (story). 

Here’s a quick recap of the episode:

Jess and Nick debate if people are generally good or bad to the point where they almost have a threesome with the building’s landlord. Meanwhile, Schmidt tries to decipher what he thinks are mixed signals from his boss Kim.

We discuss Pop Culture References such as:

• ‘The Wire’ - When Jess and Nick are trying to park and run into a disgruntled driver, Jess exclaims that the situation was like ‘The Wire’ because the other driver pulls out a gun. ‘The Wire’ was a HBO crime TV drama.
• Greg Kinnear and his Boat - Cece mentioned to Schmidt she was going to a party on Greg Kinnear’s boat, “Neptune’s Folly”. Greg Kinnear is an American TV and movie actor.

Additional Pop Culture References such as:

• Bob Ross - In this episode, Schmidt calls Winston Bob Ross when asking him how his painting is going. Bob Ross was a famous American painter and was the creator and host of ‘The Joy of Painting’a TV program from 1983-1994 on PBS.
• James Bond - Schmidt says that Cece looks like she should be distracting James Bond at a baccarat table which refers to how in James Bond films there is traditionally an attractive woman who is nicely dressed.

We also cover a “Schmidtism” when Schmidt talks to Cece about his boss’s mixed signals and our ‘Not in 2020’ this week was around sexual harassment in the workplace/the “standard 2am mistaken assault in the parking garage”. We also explore the careers of Jeff Kober and Gillian Vigman, the guest stars of this episode.

This episode got a 8.5/10 Rating from Kritika and Kelly and we both had the same favorite character: Nick!
