    Community: Season 2, Episode 9

    This week, Ellie is joined by Jenn from The Community Rewatch Podcast, a title that simply could not be more apt for Ellie. Ellie and Jenn chat about (deeply obsess over?) Community S2, Ep 9: Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design. Episode highlights include: discussion of the buarcacy of blanket forts, Ellie’s broken-record-esque talk of improv, Jenn’s cool (cool cool cool) story of her pod’s inception, direct quotes galore, and so much more.  Would that this podcast were a time podcast…  Find The Community Rewatch Podcast wherever you like to listen.

    Absolutely Fabulous: Series 2, Episode 5

    CHEERS SWEETIE DARLINGS because We’re Having an Episode has gone international! UK-based James of the Instagram account @nocontextabfab joins fellow Absolutely Fabulous lovers Ellie & guest co-host Blake Flayton to talk about Series 2, Episode 5, “Poor!” They discuss the show that really has it all: excellent writing, incredible satire, outrageous fashion, hilarious characters, recurring bits, plenty of cigarettes, and LULU. They also discuss Ellie and Blake’s overuse of the word “iconic,” James’ role as The UK’s Ambassador for TV Comedy, and how Greta Thunberg definitely would wear LaCroix. Worry not, PLENTY of lines are repeated verbatim, too.

    Game of Thrones: Season 1, Episode 1

    This week, Blake Flayton disrespects the theme of the podcast both by not rewatching the episode before recording and by bringing an episode that isn’t his favorite. And yet… he was able to do a perfect, verbatim act out of a scene from the episode that “has the most to talk about,” the GOT Pilot! Blake joins Ellie and guest host Heather Schnakenberg (from first GOT episode) to discuss the intricacies of the word “bastard,” a conspiracy theory behind the Stark’s religion, and the book series 13 year-old Blake wrote that was going to be better than GOT. Episode dedicated to Maddy Felder, The Smart Merchants of Dubrovnik, and Catherine Tate. Thank you to this episode’s sponsor, jimo, the app that re-envisions the recommendation.

    Game of Thrones: Season 6, Episode 7

    Ellie is joined by the lovely Heather Schnakenberg—who claims she’s lost friends because she won’t stop talking about her most recent obsession, Game of Thrones—and guest host/GOT expert Blake Flayton. This episode of We’re Having an Episode follows the pattern of GOT in that there are about five story lines/tangents happening every other minute, but BOY is it an entertaining one (even if you’re like Ellie and not a GOT person). We discuss a tiny terrorist, feral Facebook groups, giant not-giants, and so much more. Episode dedicated to: Grace “Tiny Hands” Musfeldt and the two funniest people Heather knows ;) Thank you to this episode’s sponsor, jimo, the app that re-envisions the recommendation.

    Rick and Morty: Season 2, Episode 8

    Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss…  Matt Shaw! (Just kidding) (but this week’s esteemed guest is Matt Shaw). Matt brings on Rick and Morty’s “Interdimensional Cable 2,” the writers’ least favorite episode. But Matt’s #NotLikeAllGuys. Guest host Reagan Anthony joins and accidentally EPICALLY spoils a plot point in The West Wing for Ellie. We all discuss talk our most quotable shows, Parks and Rec and improv are brought up (naturally), and Ellie finds a brilliant way to combine our podcast concepts: We’re Having Bad Advice from TV. Episode dedicated to Dan Harmon, Ellie & Reagan’s irrelevant Emmy takes, and 3rd amendment humor.  Thank you to our sponsor, jimo, the app that re-envisions the recommendation. Download jimo in the app store today! Follow Matt: @matthewevanshaw Follow Reagan: @thatssoreagan_ (IG) @thatssooreagan1 (TikTok) And check out Bad Advice w/ Reagan Anthony podcast!
