This week is a bit of a sequel to last week. Here we explore the two-hander, which is a story featuring two characters who are often in one single space (like a bottle episode!) and almost always in conflict. Our chosen duos are two #HurtBaes with lots of baggage, and two former best friends - or is it workplace proximity associates? - who had a mysterious falling out.

But, MOST importantly, this episode features our two HIGHEST RANKING EPISODES EVER!! (Woo!) Including the FIRST PERFECT SCORE, baby!

10 years and 2 days ago, the NBC series Community came into our lives. Today, we finally feel qualified to decide which of its episodes is the best of the best. We've got two classics going head to head with a conversation that celebrates how Abed is the best, Britta is the worst, Pierce is the actual worst, and we bring up some controversially lukewarm feelings about Pulp Fiction! 

Episodes: 

2x19 "Critical Film Studies" 

vs. 3x04 "Remedial Chaos Theory" 

Both are streaming on Hulu

Happy Thanksgiving! Also, happy Friendsgiving! We've decided to take that idea very literally this year, with the competition for the best Thanksgiving Friends episode. We've got a ton of Gellar mania, as well as a mistreated trifle and a dash of gross male behavior. It's Friendsgiving!

Episodes: 

3x09: "The One With the Football" 

vs. 

6x09: "The One Where Ross Got High" [Both streaming on Netflix]

GOBBLE GOBBLE, TV BBS. This week we're talking turkeys, colleges, family drama, nipples, and toes. Gather round our television table to listen to us talk about our favorite Thanksgiving episodes in television history. Grab some cider, a bowl of stuffing, and join us as we provide answers to burning questions like how is Lorelei so dumb, does anyone even want the Thanksgiving turkey, does "cancel culture" need some nuance, and whether it's "Nipples-the-letter-N-Toes23" or "Nipples&Toes23." Happy listening, and happy (white-colonialist-)Thanksgiving to all!

Things get a bit bumpy—and a little "naughty"—on the second episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Listen to us wrestle with this very funny but very outrageous episode in which Rebecca befriends Valencia, shares a secret with Josh, avoids Paula, wears a metallic mini, and sings one of the creepiest songs we've ever heard.

We've got the best angsty song you could ever listen to when heartbroken, and we've got the best high school boy you've ever known in your life (that would be Pacey Witter, please do your research). 

Now hop into this limo, we're going to the PROM.

It's the third episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and it's time to throw a party so Rebecca can hang out with Josh and prove she has friends (she definitely has friends!). Join us this week as we enjoy a wide-ranging conversation that covers the anxiety of throwing a party, facing fears, meeting Rebecca's cool-ass neighbor Heather, and the specific delight of Millennium-era boy band bop. Is this the episode in which we "get" Josh? Are we still charmed by Greg? Is Paula's wardrobe a constant, wonderful distraction? You'll just have to listen to find out.

We're back! We've got coincidentally what you might consider the opposite of our previous Crossover episode: the Standalone! It's when a show has one episode that can easily be plucked out from the rest, and which tells its own standalone story. Don't understand? Don't worry, we try and pin the definition down several times. 

When we're not defining TV terminology, we are discussing these shows: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, ACS: The Assassination of Versace, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Twin Peaks: The Return, Fargo, Doctor Who, Atlanta, Legion, AHS: Hotel and finally...

We discuss in depth here all of the things you want to hear about: the darkness, Melisandre and Davos' frenemy-ship, Arya's two dads, an insane Bran theory, how the show gets written, that proposal, Jaime and Brienne B.F. and A.F. (figure it out), Sansa's poorly chosen dialogue, why Jon Snow??, the CUP!, our endgame fantasies and the probable rise of Dark Dany. Check it out!

Are Holly and AJ just fine? Do resolutions ever take? Is how you spend New Year's Eve the way you'll spend the rest of the new year? We answer all these questions and more! Happy 2019, y'all.

Hello, again! This week is all about what we're pretty sure is actually the best homage episode of TV that has ever existed. Twin Peaks gets its due via its lil sibling Dual Spires, and Beth (who is writing this) realizes she royally beefed it and only just thought of a worthy competitor. Decision-making is hard! Anyway, take this cup of damn good cider and enjoy some cinnamon pie (metaphorically -- the pie is our episode. We have no pie for you). 

EPISODES: 

Psych 5x12 "Dual Spires" [Amazon Video] 

vs. 

Dear White People 2x06 "Chapter VI" [Netflix]

THIS WEEK we're talking mockumentaries... but not shows that are, in fact, mockumentaries; shows that have an episode that is one. Does that make sense? We're not sure. Either way, we've picked two stand-outs from otherwise traditional shows that got in on the fake-doc goldmine and totally nailed it.

EPISODES: Community 3x08 "Documentary Filmmaking: Redux" (May 10, 2007)

vs.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt 4x03 "Party Monster: Scratching the Surface" (May 30, 2018)
