Streets Behind: A Community FanpodWeaponized Family TreesIn honor of Family Day at Greendale, your intrepid podcast hosts get together in person to record this one, and it's a doozy! In this episode, the chosen family of the study group brings their actual relatives to Greendale, and things go about as well as you'd expect. Like many actual families, this episode is chock full of terrible decisions. Pierce tricks his estranged step-daughter into visiting, she tricks him out of a ton of money, and Jeff tricks himself into thinking he's not hurt when Professor Slater breaks up with him. Britta tries to convince Troy that his awful...2025-06-221h 11Streets Behind: A Community FanpodExtra Credit - Coach Bogner's OfficeIn this mini episode we take a deep dive into the billiards poster in Coach Bogner's office as well as some of the other amazing stuff hiding in the background of Season 1 Episode 17 - Physical Education.

Matthew thought it was pretty meh but Sandi goes outside of her slang comfort zone to call this one an absolute banger. Who was right? Who was wrong? Tune in to find out and to hear all about Jeff's epic billiards battle, Abed's quest to win over his secret admirer, and Britta's bagel problem. If you're a Danny Pudi fan, do not miss this one. Abed plays so many amazing roles, including a surprisingly convincing Don Draper. Also, stay tuned for an upcoming mini bonus episode where we take a...2024-09-221h 12Streets Behind: A Community FanpodExtra Credit - Midwestern Political ScienceIn this bonus episode your co-hosts try an experiment - is it possible to talk about politics without getting political? Do we cover every issue? Heck no, but we chat about how it feels to have a midwestern teacher on the national political stage and why we'd like to see more of a Community school spirit in politics. Hopefully, anyone at Greendale, no matter what their politics are, would feel welcome to join the conversation. Hosted on Acast.

The theme is ostensibly romance, but really this episode is all about friendship. While the Cupid Being wanders around campus delivering valentines (oh, now it has arrows, that's safe), the study group members are all finding ways to get out of their comfort zones and come through for each other when things get weird. Britta and Jeff exchange drunk dials, which almost tanks Jeff's relationship with Professor Slater until Britta swoops in with the save. Abed stops being a detached observer and steps...2024-08-151h 17Streets Behind: A Community FanpodGeology, Haberdashery, and the Animal KingdomThis episode gets super college-y. Shirley joins Troy and Abed to make fun of their favorite bad movie, Kick Puncher. Pierce crashes their party, and crashes into a giant bowl of popcorn. Meanwhile, Annie starts hanging out with Britta's ex-boyfriend Vaughn, which throws Britta and Jeff into a tailspin of jealousy, although they try to tell themselves they're just looking out for Annie's best interests. This is one of those iconic Community episodes - zippy, funny, concise, with great background detail - but some of the humor just doesn't age well. We get into some of the ways pop culture...2024-07-291h 11Streets Behind: A Community FanpodHow to Hide Your LeotardThis week we have one of the most memorable scenes in the entire series - Britta and Troy's teapot dance for the ages! Up until this point, Britta and Troy have been doing an excellent job of hiding the fact that they were both taking dance classes all semester because it comes out of nowhere in this episode, and it provides lots of opportunities to explore gender norms and how they specifically apply to Britta and Troy's identities. This episode also has the Library's Backdoor Conundrum (iconic stuff here!). When the group all gathers outside the conundrummed backdoor waiting to...2024-05-131h 01Streets Behind: A Community FanpodJournalism for Bong Ripping Good Time CharliesWould you believe this is the Jack Black episode, and the MASH episode, and the school newspaper episode? No? We didn't either, but it is. It's the first day of spring semester at Greendale, and a new, chill Jeff is cracking wise in the school newspaper office/distillery while Annie hunts down a major scoop and Buddy (Jack Black) auditions to join their study group. This whole time the MASH theme song is definitely playing on a loop in Abed's head. Listen to find out why we think this is a quintessential Community episode, and why some parts of it...2024-02-1158 minStreets Behind: A Community FanpodNondenominational Street FightingIt's December 10th - the time of year we come together with those we love to fight the school bully out by the bike rack, but not the bike rack by the parking lot. Merry Happy, everyone! Hosted on Acast.

We recorded this one over Thanksgiving 2021 and spent two years carefully editing - kidding! Life intervened, and it took us a while to get this episode up, but trust us, it's worth it. We have a great time delving into Thanksgiving traditions, family drama, mental health, and why we so deeply relate to the Thanksgiving episode when the study group spends most of the holiday sneaking out to Shirley's garage. So, if you need an escape this holiday, come join us in Shirley's garage for a chat and a laugh. We'll be waiting...2023-11-181h 05Streets Behind: A Community FanpodTurtlenecks for ThumbsIn today's episode of our beloved sitcom Community, Greendale catches knowledge at the STD awareness fair organized by our very own Annie Edison. Eager to prove herself, Annie goes all out to impress Dean Pelton, only to be rewarded with the harrowing task of conducting the condom demonstration in front of the entire school, which is a problem since she's never actually seen a...thingamabob. In order to prep for this, Shirley and Britta help her pull a reverse Porky's and spy on the Dean's anatomically correct model (wha?!). Meanwhile, Pierce is determined to win a double date with Jeff...2023-11-101h 02Streets Behind: A Community FanpodTroy, Abed, and the RatThis episode starts with the Dean declaring Green Week at Envirodale, and then goes fully off the rails from there. Chang goes even further off the deep end than usual when his wife leaves him. Jeff uses friendship for evil to manipulate Chang into changing their homework assignments. Shirley is so anxious about giving a presentation in her marketing class that she asks Pierce for help, and in an even wilder turn, Pierce actually helps. Troy and Abed train a rat to respond to song in a classroom experiment, and your humble podcast hosts realize they're basically trained rats in...2023-09-071h 02Streets Behind: A Community FanpodBasic Hypnosis: The Hawthorne MethodIn this episode, Britta gets angry and articulate while trying to quit smoking. She's so desperate that she'll try anything, even getting hypnotized by Pierce. Shirley discovers that Abed's films about the study group predict, or maybe even write, the future. Jeff and Annie team up to save the Greendale debate team, and we discover that it's helpful to talk about uncomfortable subjects even when you're not sure how to start. Hopefully we don't totally fumble it like Pierce tripping over every musical instrument in the Greendale band room. Hosted on Acast.

This episode covers more character development than we can keep track of, but we give it the old Greendale try anyway. We also get to see Matt's all-time favorite guest star! (Really? Already? In Season 1? A bold claim.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.2023-02-1659 minStreets Behind: A Community FanpodSeason 1 Midterm BreakAt this very important milestone (the end of disc 1 of the Community DVD box set), we take a step back and reflect on the show as a whole so far. Join us for the easiest pop quiz ever about how we feel about the show, the characters, and the production up to this point. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.2023-02-0944 minStreets Behind: A Community FanpodSeasonal Episode DynamicsIt's Dia de los Muertos at Greendale and the gang is trying on all sorts of costumes. Annie tries being assertive when she tells Jeff he can't skip her extra-credit Halloween party. Jeff tries being honest for once in his pursuit of Professor Slater, his statistics teacher. Shirley tries punishing Slater until she realizes she's really just mad at her ex-husband. Everything goes sideways when Pierce tries being young again and ends up tripping balls in a desk fort. Luckily, Batman (Abed) is there to save the day. Bust out the tiny candy traffic cones, folks! It's a classic American...2023-02-021h 00Streets Behind: A Community FanpodThe Zen of TroyCommunity gets cringey in this one when Pierce helps the Dean design a post-racial mascot, but we love that this isn't a "very special" episode that addresses race once and the shelves it for the rest of the series. Somehow, Pierce and Dean Pelton agree on their horrifying design choices, but Jeff and Annie clash over whether Troy should play football for the Greendale Human Beings. Troy can be swayed on the small stuff, but ultimately Jeff and Annie both run up against The Zen of Troy - a man who knows who he is and where he's at. Meanwhile...2023-01-261h 00Streets Behind: A Community FanpodFundamentals of World BuildingThe main focus of this episode is about Britta cheating in Senor Chang's Spanish class, but meanwhile in the background, the writers are doing some major world building. So many of the show's future developments have their roots in this episode. We see an almost familial relationship developing between Annie and Pierce as she encourages him to compose the Greendale school song. The Luis Guzman statue goes up in the quad. (Really?! This is only episode 5!) The dean makes his first dramatic entrance into the study room, and his first bad dean pun. Troy and Abed decide that friends don't...2023-01-1959 minStreets Behind: A Community FanpodStoner Forest ManagementAs Vaughn would say, this episode of Community is tight, but us? Not so much. We're all over the map in this one talking about the Duncan Principle, Jeff and Shirley's growing friendship, our own college friends who couldn't keep their shirts on, Annie's budding sexuality, Pierce's ear...noculars, and how Britta fell into the "Interesting Boy Trap." We find out that Matt totally would have played hacky sack with Vaughn, that Pierce can be disarmingly sincere, and that there is true social value in getting together with friends to talk about a TV show. So, join us over by...2023-01-121h 06Streets Behind: A Community FanpodCrumping for BeginnersSandi and Matt begin to start starting seizing the day with Professor Whitman's ultimate blow-off class, which Jeff could totally pass if only he'd stop trying so hard at the wrong things, like crumping. We follow Abed into some surprisingly deep emotional waters, and we delight in Britta's fisticuffs, Pierce's voice commands, Annie's pizza etiquette and Troy's delicate sneezes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.2023-01-051h 05Streets Behind: A Community FanpodRemedial SitcomMatt and Sandi decide that in episode 2 Community has already tested out of Remedial Sitcom and proven itself as an Advanced Placement Comedy. We stop laughing at Shirley and Annie's hilariously misguided rally just long enough to break down Pierce and Jeff's horrendous take on what should have been a simple Spanish 101 assignment, and we discover that maybe every college campus has its own Starburns character.
