With a big migration to Bluesky, time for a fresh #intro post.

Hey, we're Breaking Mayberry, an anti-nostalgia podcast about classic TV. Your hosts are @schneidremarks.bsky.social and @lokrobster.bsky.social. We deep-dive into your grandpa's favorite shows and mock them.

📣 New Podcast! "The Glee-kend Six: Inaccurate Twerking Instruction" on @Spreaker
The Glee-kend Six: Inaccurate Twerking Instruction
We spend a lot of this episode talking about Lea Michele's insane broadway career because it's the least upsetting part of what we're going to discuss. This is the Season 5 Glee episode "The End of Twerk" (or something like that, I'm not looking it up) and there is... SO MUCH here. None of it good. Some of it horrifying. We hate this.

Genuine medieval peasant brain who gets to vote on whether we go to war
I've kind of dug into this a little bit more, and the way they do it is they do these scenes, and they switch them around very fast. In the old days [in the era of comedian and producer] Andy Griffith, it was just one camera and it was great. And [modern producers] do different scenes and it's moving around every second, and that releases certain things in young children's minds, and we need to find out why are they doing like this because this is contracting their brains, this is molding their brains.

Like conservatives referencing Andy Griffith to make their points is nothing new, it's literally our entire inspiration but normally it's about the content of the show, not the... number of cameras?

ALSO THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW HAD MULTIPLE CAMERAS, THAT IS NOT WHAT "SINGLE-CAM SITCOM" MEANS

Damn I wonder if anyone has ever looked into the impact that this particular program has had on the smoothbrains of this whole generation.

Anyone who did that for like 10 years would be both political prophets and comic geniuses you should listen to.

The administration's attempt to "de-woke" our national history sites means that the names of enslaved people engraved at The President's House in Philly are in danger of being erased so we put them in the credits for WHITE MEAT: APPETIZER (and the names of slaver presidents just for good measure).
David Dylan Thomas stands in front of a large stone slab with the names of enslaved people engraved on it. Credits from a film reading "People enslaved in George Washington's Philadelphia home: Moll, Christopher Sheels, Richmond, Giles, Austin, Paris, Joe, Hercules, Ona Judge" Credits from a film reading "Presidents who owned human beings: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson, Ulysees S. Grant"

An entire generation of dumbs are getting themselves worked up into a fascist frenzy over inaccurate nostalgia videos they know are complete false and it is terrifying hot profoundly strong these feelings are for them despite being very aware it's fake and bullshit.

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

We drunkenly yell about so many people on this show that I didn't even realize this was supposed to say "Ryan Murphy", I was thinking there was a whole different guy I yelled at and then forgot.

After so many years I've finally caught up with @breakingmayberry.bsky.social
If you want to hear 2 guys start off from "Barney Fife is the avatar of American fascism" leading eventually to drunkenly cursing out Brian Murphy then this is the podcast for you!

📣 New Podcast! "Gleekend 5: Singing "More Than Words" to a Racist Cat" on @Spreaker
Gleekend 5: Singing "More Than Words" to a Racist Cat
NOTICE: This is the Glee school shooting episode. We talk about the school shooting parts from about 40:00 to 51:30. Okay look there's really nothing funny here but Glee's gonna try to find something they can use! Ryan Murphy's never met a tragedy he couldn't exploit. Also, there's some stuff in here about catfishing which is INSANE.
