  1. (S7Ep3) William Henry Harrison!

    1d ago

    (S7Ep3) William Henry Harrison!

    Mama's going graspin'! Today, Leslie and Ron drift even further from their morals as they fight to gain leverage over the Newport land. We truly learn SO much about William Henry Harrison and his many museums (yeah, there are real museums AND the tin ball is real and started the phrase "Keep the Ball Rolling"!!) Plus, we're introduced to VP of Cool New Sizz, Roscoe Santanglo (Jorma, who has directed twice on Parks!) and Ron sides with Bloosh??! Also poor Ben, stuck in notary Hell. Thank you to Dan Gilvezan for sending in an amazing voice memo about how you brought your Zorp Loyalist/Reasonabilist character to life, and for introducing me to the idea of Parks Heaven. :)  https://www.instagram.com/dan_gilvezan/ Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe!  Sources: https://ew.com/recap/parks-and-recreation-season-7-episode-3/ https://furnsoc.org/events/award-of-distinction/garry-knox-bennett https://www.finewoodworking.com/readerproject/2012/10/24/nail-cabinet?srsltid=AfmBOoo5MAxIS8JgY4NC5Yo678OFCHyks8TyEowNFnBK0sL3KZV2HYIE https://blog.lostartpress.com/2022/02/02/garry-knox-bennett/ https://www.battlefields.org/learn/biographies/william-henry-harrison https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/how-to-list-a-property.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grouseland https://grouseland.org/ https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2012/08/keep-the-ball-rolling/ https://ew.com/recap/parks-and-recreation-season-7-episode-3/ https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/john-tyler/ Support the show Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

  2. (S7Ep2) Ron and Jammy!

    May 28

    (S7Ep2) Ron and Jammy!

    Iconic episode alert! Madi teaches us about the Cubs (Mike Schur and the writers are wizards, regardless of what they say), we learn about the Geneva Conventions and we see humanity come back to Leslie and Ron to save their colleague Jamm. And special thank you and "see you later" to Yvans Jourdain (Councilman Howser), Kevin Symons (Councilman Dexhart), and Megan Mullally (Tammy 2), all of their very last episodes of the season!!! What a service they provided and I'm just so grateful! Plus Natalie Morales (Lucy) comes back, yay!  Don't forget to rate and review!  Sources: https://onu-geneve.delegfrance.org/70-years-of-the-Geneva-Conventions https://bedfordandbowery.com/2014/09/look-for-werner-herzog-on-parks-and-recreation/ https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/09/werner-herzog-parks-and-recreation-cameo https://ronakheartsindy.wordpress.com/2016/12/18/the-complete-parks-and-recreation-guide-to-indianapolis/ https://www.bestcolleges.com/trades/how-to-become-a-mortician/ Support the show Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

    May 21

    (S7Ep1) 2017!

    Back for the final season! The writers do a great job of dropping us in, 2 years after Season 6, where we see that Leslie is in a feud with someone who used to be her favorite person! We also find out some cool BTS details, like when/how this aired on original network TV, when they shot this series and some super cool deleted scenes. Check it out to see where the rest of the Parks gang landed in 2017. :)  Don't forget to rate and review!  Sources:  https://web.archive.org/web/20141203195019/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/12/01/parks-and-recreation-final-season-to-premiere-tuesday-january-13th/334282/ https://www.tvline.com/gallery/parks-and-recreation-series-finale-filming-photos/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3609484/?ref_=tt_ov_ep_nx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parks_and_Recreation_season_7 Support the show Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!
