In case you missed it, our latest episode looked at...just...a profoundly silly episode of glee that's set up such a wild false dichotomy and created an abysmal episode of television. Hopefully it's a good episode of podcast though!

Left to right: Marley, Ryder, Artie, Blaine, and Sam from Glee performing "Applause" by Lady GaGa. Most of them are wearing outfits inspired by the music video, with the exception of Marley, who's wearing a candy-themed dress inspired by "California Girls" by Katy Perry.

To quote our editor Emily: "the words Gaga and Katy have lost all meaning by this point." And if that's not enough, this is the infamous episode where Marley is suspended for not being sexy enough. Glee!

The Flase Dichotomy presented by "A Katy or a Gaga" posits that Gaga is as dark and edgy as Nine Inch Nails, and Katy Perry is a bland and non-sexual entity. I - we - what?! Anyways, we're gonna spend...

In case you missed it, our latest episode was about Glee mourning Cory Monteith's passing, which is sad - obviously - but omg check out this fan poster I found while looking for episode pictures that makes Cory look like some kind of mafia boss or perhaps shadowy entity XD

A fan-made poster in honour of Cory Monteith's passing. The cast of Glee are in the foreground, lower half of the poster, all dressed in black dress clothes and singing "Seasons of Love." In the background, looming above them all, is a large image of Cory in black and white, face half in shadow, with dark storm clouds brewing behind him. Spooky!

ICYMI, the glee club continued Beatlemania in our last episode and we were there to see the whole thing, whether it be Tina getting something nice for once or Tina getting absolutely slandered by the writing staff.

And brace yourselves, because next episode is the one where we talk about Cory.

A screencap from the Glee episode "Tina in the Sky with Diamonds". Ryder, Unique, Marley, and Jake are respectively wearing gaudy Green, Orange, Pink, and Blue military-style dress uniforms, akin to those worn in "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" - which is also the song they're singing onstage.

A screencap from the same episode. Tina is in a pink dress wearing a tiara and holding a bouqet of flowers as she runs down the hall, flanked by her friends in similar formal prom outfits.

We continue our Gleetles (Glee Beatles) coverage of season 5 with "Tina in the Sky With Diamonds." Spoiler alert: they don't even sing the song. They don't even sing Dear Prudence! Still, take a listen, it's great, we've got...stuff! Like a bucket full of slushies and walking through a glass window.

In case you missed it, we've begun our coverage of Glee Season 5! No blisters on your fingers or yellow submarines, but we will sing at Reed Richards and do a gay proposal.

A screencap from the Glee episode "Love, Love, Love." Santana and Rachel are dancing on top of a diner bar in red and white uniforms, surrounded by other singing and dancing waitstaff.

In case you missed it, last week we did a little bonus episode by watching Pumaman. He flies like a moron, and he fights a villain full of woogedies, so give it a listen. It's possibly more of a fever dream than your average glee episode...or podcast.

The "corporate needs you to find the differences between this photo and this photo" meme from The Office.
Instead, it says, "corporate needs you to find the differences between this guy and this guy" over pictures of Walter George Alton as Tony Farms, The Pumaman, and Blake Jenner.
The bottom panel has me (from our Season 3 album art) saying "They're the same guy."
