Back in the Field Back in the Field

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX ON TUESDAYS -- Just in time for the S4 premiere, we're covering Greg & Larry. Aarthi and Carl talk about how the finale stacks up against the episode previous, its position as the ending to the arc, and just who IS Rosa Diaz anyway? There's segues about The Mindy Project, Central Intelligence (the Hart-Johnson comedy from summer 2016), and POPSTAR, and maybe some blather about What Is An Apatow Film Anyway? We speculate on how the Jake/Amy relationship will be handled (we recorded this before the 4x01 press release came out, so bear with us) and wonder if this could be how the show rolls Jason Mantzoukas in as a full-time cast member. Unfortunately, those developments and more are going to have to happen without us. With this, Episode 64, Back in the Field is packing up its mics. We've been so honored you gave us an hour of your time, now and then, for the last two years, and we hope you'll all continue to shout at us on Twitter, Tumblr, and wherever about how much you love this special little show. Thanks for listening, we'll see you around.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX ON TUESDAYS -- We are FINALLY back with our last catchup episode. We talk about Paranoia, Maximum Security, and Bureau. Carl and Aarthi discuss heistfulness, Jake and Amy's relationship progression (and a retread of an older conversation about Jim and Pam and Jake and Amy and Leslie and Ben) and how time and distance will/are going to impact it. We also talk about the excellence that is Jason Mantzoukas, the OINTB-ness of it all, Melissa's real and Amy's fake pregnancy, and most importantly, continue to lament the tanking of Gina/Boyle as a viable ship. Also, Aarthi talks about her then-single, now twice appearance on @HDTGM and Carl offers for listeners to "fight me" as he usually does.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS TUESDAYS ON FOX -- Your favorite hosts decide that a better way to talk about this string of episodes is to basically focus entirely on Adrian Pimento. Aarthi may or may not objectify Jason Mantzoukas along with Jake, Carl and Aarthi talk about Pimento being the Darkest Timeline version of Jake, and pretty much every other plotline and character is ignore. Just kidding, we talk about how Pimento interacts with just about every character during his arc, and how his addition to the team would be terribly welcome. Plus, Aarthi brags about kind-of-sort-of meeting JMantz a time or two.

It's a long, rambly episode where your two favorite hosts talk about Karen Peralta, The 9-8, and House Mouses. We keep getting lost in rabbit trails, but we manage to pull it together at the end. Drop us an ask at http://back-in-the-field.tumblr.com/ask

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS TUESDAYS ON FOX -- In our second catching up episode, Carl and Aarthi discuss Hostage Situation, Nine Days, and The Cruise in quick succession. Neither of your hosts pretend to like anything about Hostage Situation, and Nine Days was largely glossed over in our efforts to get to The Cruise, which we really enjoyed. Technical difficulties made this episode shorter than we wanted it to be, but we talk about the good stuff. As always, please reblog, tweet, and share BITF if you enjoy it. And please, leave a review on iTunes :)

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX ON SUNDAYS AT 8:30PM ET/PT -- We took a long hiatus that ended up getting extended for a host of reasons, but the short version is: WE ARE BACK, baby! Carl and Aarthi catch up on various real life occurrences, then get down and dirty with Ava, The Swedes, and Yippee Kayak. The usual banter, back-and-forth, and regular charm is on full display as your favorite cohosts puzzle out their feelings about the new Jeffords child, the introduction of weirdly racist-against-Danes Swedish detectives (who are definitely banging), and the true perfection of Yippee Kayak. And, as always, there's wrestling, books, and internet culture jokes. It's a wild ride, overlong, and overdue.
