If you're ready for the steep nose dive of the once-great New Direction, here it comes! While there are plenty of great covers in this episode, there are twice as many reasons to hate the ridicule of Britney Spears within the media of the 2010s. Even when Britney's not the center of attention, all the new characters continue to make bad decisions in pursuing "good drama" - what's new? 43:35 - Mention of statutory rape/sex jokes Twitter: @SingsationsPod Instagram: singsationspod 2024-03-081h 03

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 64: Who Am I?Olive and Eliza recap and review episode twenty of season three; Props! Tina gets thrown around like a human prop this episode after banging her head on a mall fountain, gracing us with images of Darren Criss in a mohawk.

Your hosts go bonkers for disco music this weeks as the New Directions are forced to come to terms with their impending graduation.

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 56: Bitch, You Rehearsed This!Olive and Eliza recap and review episode twelve of season three; The Spanish Teacher! Ricky Martin guests stars this episode and the patient night school teacher explicitly designed to teach Will Schuester how to do his job. The drama gets a little dragged, out but we'd like to think it's in the pursuit of a good lesson. We can't ask much from the adults on this show, but can at least one of them behave normally around their students? Episode contains consistent discussion of the offensive portrayal of Spanish/Latin culture/people Twitter: @SingsationsPod 2023-07-1356 min

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp. 55: Did I Just Call Will Schuester Babygirl?Olive and Eliza take a look at episode eleven of season three: Michael! Between advocating for finishing college before you get married, Eliza hating on Sebastian, and griping again about the New Directions never doing the same song twice, our hosts still find time to cringe at some of the cinematography and be baffled about the inclusion of 2013 YouTube sensations. This episode features so. many. songs. Do YOU remember 2Cellos? Eliza sure didn't. 9:45 - brief mention of suicide RE Dave Karofsky's storyline Twitter: @SingsationsPod Instagram: singsationspod 2023-06-3052 min

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 54: During PRIDE MONTH???Olive and Eliza recap and review episode ten of season three, Yes/No! There are many scenes in this episode that have us screaming NO, such as Artie getting thrown into a pool or the REAL Helen Mirren being roped into the zany world of Glee! Did you know McKinley had an Olympic swimming pool on school grounds? We sure didn't, and we're glad we're not being proposed to there. 33:50-38:15 - prolonged discussion of deceased parents, PTSD, and drug abuse Twitter: @SingsationsPod Instagram: singsationspod Facebook: The Singsations Podcast ...2023-06-1558 min

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 53: Do They Know This is Classist?Olive and Eliza recap and review episode nine of season three, Extraordinary Merry Christmas! If our episode is shorter than usual this week, that is because this was essentially half-Glee episode, half-Holiday PSA. We're happy anyways because it means seeing as little of Mr. Shue as possible! Sue Sylvester's personality is acting wonky again, but when is it not? We hope you have a fantastic Christmas in June, as always! Episode contains no trigger warnings. Please message us on our social media if you'd like something to be tagged!

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 52: Ryan Murphy, What Have You Done?Olive and Eliza recap and review episode eight of season three, Hold On To Sixteen! Our rival glee clubs have barely chosen songs in time for Sectionals, and Mike gets a chance to (more or less) prove to himself and his dad what he was meant to do! Quinn is still spiraling down a rabbit hole, of course, and for some reason, Rachel has to be the voice of reason, even when suspended. Can we get an episode all about therapy next? Episode contains heavy discussion of student/teacher relationships. Twitter: @SingsationsPod Instagram...2023-05-1153 min

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 51: Am I the Only One?Olive and Eliza recap and review episode seven of season three, I Kissed a Girl! The New Direction join together to support Santana through being publicly outed (totally not Finn Hudson's fault...) and sing girl power "lady music" to help her through it. We're not quite sure what "lady music" means, we've been given Jolene on a silver platter and are very happy about it nonetheless. Will Schuester is weirdly absent from glee club, but we won't look a gift horse in the mouth! Episode contains heavy discussion of student/teacher relationships and coming out stories. 2023-04-2858 min

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 50: Does This Place Not Get Locked?Olive and Eliza endure season three episode six, Mash Off! The continuation of the Puck/Shelby plot, Santana's forced outing, and the ultimate slap in the face come together to make one of the most memorable and impactful episodes of Glee ever. Whether that is a good thing is highly debatable. Quinn's quest to get Beth back gets called out, Rachel's presidential bid drops out, and Puck's attempts to date his teacher make Eliza grossed out!

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 47: Are We Cool?Eliza and Olive recap and review the third episode of season three; Asian F! Mike finally gets his first measly bit of plot and solo time, which we are forever grateful for. On the other hand, this proves to be an episode filled with frustration as Mercedes, Mike, and Emma deal with straight-up aggression from their friends and family. Don't worry, Rachel also gets plenty of aggression from us, the hosts. Episode contains heavy discussion of racism, microaggressions, and stereotypes of people of color throughout.

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 46: Who is the Worst Dancer?Eliza and Olive recap and review the second episode of season three; I Am Unicorn! We could rant for hours on why West Side Story is a horrendous choice for the McKinley High theater to perform, but we promise this episode is also laced with plenty of confusion and frustration over Shelby Corcoran being back! Immaturity has always run rampant in the New Directions, and not the adults have been catching it too. 8:34, 26:44 - racism and fatphobia 16:18 - mentions of relationships between adult and a minor 43:31 - mentions of spousal abuse, historic racism 2023-02-161h 01

Glee sets even more pop culture history by having a bunch of high schoolers wear their biggest insecurities on shirts - what could go wrong? And while Ryan Murphy was blazing trails for queer representation in media, he takes the opportunity make light of OCD and antisemitism at the same time.

The New Directions throw caution to the wind in yet another school assembly... We are once again reminded that biphobia was rampant and unforgiving circa 2011, and even we can't defend Kurt Hummel this episode.

The love songs aren't the only silly things about this episode, there's also plenty of mononucleosis to go around! If you're already tired of the students of McKinley High tempestuous love lives, might we interest you in the Warblers performing the most embarrassing thing ever put on film (the Gap Attack scene)?

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 33: Who's Not There?Eliza and Olive recap and review episode eleven of season two; The Sue Sylvester Shuffle! As we commemorate the most-watched episode of Glee, Eliza pretends she actually likes this show and Olive continues to struggle with sports-related terms.

And if you weren't sick of Rachel and Finn's relationship drama already, don't worry - now they've got Christmas carols to go along with it! Thanks for celebrating Christmas in July with us this week! Episode contains discussion of ableism throughout Twitter: @SingsationsPod Instagram: singsationspod 2022-06-1646 min

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 31: Can I Punch Rachel Berry?Eliza and Olive recap and review episode nine of season two; Special Education! With a episode title that makes virtually no sense, Eliza spends her time this episode threatening vague amounts of bodily harm to the most annoying of the glee club. On the bright side, it's finally Sectionals, and we see both the Warblers and the New Directions tear up their performances, while also putting Rachel Berry in her place! What could be better?

The light of our lives, Blaine Anderson, gets introduced this episode, so Eliza goes veritably feral at this revelation.

The Singsations Podcast: A Glee RetrospectiveEp 27: Whatever Happened to My Sanity?Eliza and Olive recap and review episode five of season two; Rocky Horror Glee Show! This episode calls up the age-old, Glee-relevant question; is this episode 'camp' or is it just BAD? Luckily, the writers were able to shoehorn in as many Rocky Horror songs as possible in between Mr. Shue being a bad teacher and Eliza simping over John Stamos.

Our dear friend Giuliana guest stars this week, bringing along a plethora of knowledge about what Neil Patrick Harris was up to during the 2010's.
