Were you a Gleek back in 2010, but now you have a growing suspicion that it was bad for reasons you can’t fully remember? Did you hate Glee back in 2010, but you’ve forgotten the specifics of why? Did you not watch Glee in 2010, and you want to have an airtight argument about why that was the right call? Lucky for you, Sam and Hannah are rewatching Ryan Murphy’s musical sensation and cataloging all the stupid stuff about it so you don’t have to! Join us on the GleeWatch and hear about the strange character choices, the teachers who should’ve been arrested, the flashy musical numbers, and all the effects that this Obama-era time capsule had on two queer kids turned queer adults.

Customer Reviews
Love it!
Glee is my guilty pleasure, I have seen seasons 1-3 way too many times, not even mentioning some specific episodes/scenes. Glee cast is my most listened artist of all time on Spotify. Glee was my life when I was 14 and just realizing I was a raging lesbian. The insight that Hannah and Sam provide into the issues surrounding the writing is phenomenal! I love their dynamic and listening to this podcast has become way more appealing than actually watching the show while trying to ignore all the very 2009 vibes + lazy writing. Seriously, it has become painful now when I understand societal issues. Sam, Hannah. You are doing some sacred work sorting through this trainwreck of a show while still keeping it real and funny. Thank you.
