an unofficial retrospective about Glee, the fandom, and its effects on all our lives
Get ready for one of the best episodes Teen Wolf has ever done. (No, really. Plus some major content warnings for suicide, self-harm, drowning, body horror, murder, and more.)In 3×06, "Motel California," the team, plus the girls trailing in the car behind them, get caught in a massive traffic jam, causing them to hole up in a roadside motel for the night. However, due to spooky and horrifying circumstances beyond their control, they're confronted with personal horrors beyond their wildest dreams.There isn't a lot of plot here to speak of, but we will get up close and personal with the psyches of each werewolf and the community that surrounds them. It's the closest we ever get to a Very Special Episode, so please take care of yourselves. We'll still be here when you get back.You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.xoxo,FotRFind us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksCreate your own podcast today with Zencastr and share your story. #madewithZencastr
Listen, we've seen 9-1-1 make some wild choices before—but this season finale? Nah.In this week's chaotic, heartfelt, and occasionally unhinged 9-1-1 Bonus Episode, subtitled "Bobby Deserved Better and So Did We," we're joined by special guest Sofia (@sadgayeddie) to unpack the emotional aftermath of the 9-1-1 season 8 finale. Spoiler alert: we are not okay.From Bobby's sudden death (with super Ebola?!) to half a dozen storylines getting steamrolled in a montage, and a production timeline that feels like it was assembled by raccoons with a typewriter, we've got a lot to say. The writing? Sloppy. The mourning? Nonexistent. The audience? Mad.There's rage, there's laughter, there's speculation on Buddie (as always), and a whole lot of love for Christopher Diaz.Expect unfiltered rants, fandom conspiracies, righteous indignation, and—of course—a little hope that season 9 will somehow pull it together (doubtful, but we dream). If you're confused, furious, or just here for the catharsis, hit play.xoxo,FotRFind us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksCreate your own podcast today with Zencastr and share your story. #madewithZencastr
Two of our least favorite things — long bus rides and whatever blue filter editors add in post — combine in an episode that isn't nearly as bad as it sounds.In 3×05, "Frayed," all of our favorite werewolves are having a horrible time on their long bus ride to a cross country meet, given their super-secret-stealthy fight with the alphas the night before. Isaac and Boyd are starting fights with the alphas, Scott is slowly dying from a very bad, alpha-inflicted wound, and Stiles is studying for the SATs. Luckily, the brains of the operation (Allison and Lydia) are following behind in a car. Good thing too, cause it turns out Scott's gonna need emergency roadside rest stop surgery!Everything unfolds against the backdrop of a surprise attack against the Alpha Pack from the night before, where not everyone got out unscathed. Is Scott's wound ever going to heal? Is Derek actually dead? Is it possible that their horrible day is going to turn into an even worse, horrible, terrible, no-good night?Grab your motion sickness bag, Jared. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.xoxo,FotRFind us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksCreate your own podcast today with Zencastr and share your story. #madewithZencastr
A new semester means a whole new boatload of trauma for our intrepid pack of werewolves (and friends!).In 3×04, "Unleashed," we pick back up with the students who are finally coming back from their Summer of Hell (Boyd and Isaac), get to know our new nemeses from Hell (Ethan and Aiden), and… well, start running cross country to keep sharp for the lacrosse season (Scott). Deucalion tries to convince Derek that he must kill his own pack to join the Alphas and we learn some interesting things about the Hale Pack's old relations to this new alpha.Meanwhile, Stiles and Lydia begin working with Deaton about what kind of new dark creature could be sacrificing people all over town and Lydia begins to fill her school notebooks with drawings of some kind of tree. Huh. Wonder if that'll be relevant.Guard your Warriors this episode, friends.

Gotta catch 'em all, Pokem— oh, no, wait. Wrong show. Oops!In 3×03, "Fireflies," we follow Scott and Derek, who in turn are following Boyd and new character Cora, trying to catch these moon-crazed werewolves from causing death and destruction. Lydia, in search of ibuprofen, accidentally stumbles upon a dead body. (Hate to tell you, girliepop, this is a skill you'll get much better at over time.) Derek, along with his feral betas, traumatizes Ms. Blake, the new English teacher. Beacon Hills High after dark? Cannot be trusted.Will Allison ever apologize for the role she played in helping her grandfather last season? Will one-L-Alison ever get over the death of her first-born daughter, Erica Reyes? Will anyone ever be able to go camping ever again? Are virgins safe from abduction and death?We won't answer any of these questions, truly.

It's a girl's girl's girl's world here today on Pack Dynamics. In 3×02, "Chaos Rising," our intrepid pack looks to attend to two major problems. First, the matching bruises on Lydia and Allison's wrists might lead to something, but only if they figure out the pattern. Second, new character Heather is looking to lose her virginity at her Sweet Seventeen and picks our guy Stiles!(Unfortunately for them, neither of these scenarios work out as planned.)The race is on to rescue Boyd and Erica from the Alphas, but will the pack get there in time?This episode is rife with fandom moments - from Isaac in the ice bath to Stiles and his very long gloved fist (and Derek's reaction to it) to everything about Coach Economist Bobby Finstock - and we'll dig into them all.(Yes, including the sad ones.)Break out the blueprints, it's time to dig in.Find us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksCreate your own podcast today with Zencastr and share your story. #madewithZencastr
We're mad, you're mad, we're all mad at Tim Minear. This week's 9-1-1 Mini Series episode is all about the devastating fallout from the 9-1-1 Contagion two-parter of 8x14 "Sick Day" and 8x15 "Lab Rats."Warning: This episode is RIFE with spoilers for basically the entirety of 9-1-1 through 8x15. And includes discussions of suicide that some listeners may find sensitive.We dig into the decision (the terrible, horrible, no good very bad decision) made by the creative team behind our favorite wee-woo show to kill off a main character and speculate on how we think that decision will impact 9-1-1 moving forward. Spoiler: we don't think it was a good idea and we're not afraid to say it.No matter what happens next, 9-1-1 will never be the same again.xoxo,FotRFind us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksCreate your own podcast today with Zencastr and share your story. #madewithZencastr
Welcome back, Pack! This is the Season 3 premiere of Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast.It's a few months after the events of Season 2, and a pack of Alphas (an Alpha pack?! they can do that?) have arrived to wreak to complete havoc on Scott McCall's life. Because he cannot catch a single break (he's still bummed over his break-up with Allison). There are Werewolf Twins now. Who have names and we can definitely tell them apart. And a woman with wicked claws. And Deucalion - a big bad of the season.Derek and Isaac have been searching for Erica and Boyd since the end of Season 2 and know that the Alpha Pack have them in their clutches. The search leads to Isaac getting roughed up a bit and the introduction of a new character on a motorcycle: Braedon.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war indeed.Teen Wolf is back and Season 3 might just be the peak of the show.

Did you know that there are show choir blogs? Neither did we. In S5E11, "City of Angels," we follow New Directions to Nationals of… whatever year this is in canon…to Los Angeles. Mr. Schue recruits Sam to be the New Finn (not to be confused with Blaine, who we all know to be the New Rachel), tasked with keeping up spirit and enthusiasm. The Hudson-Hummel clan is out in full force with the series' best parents, Burt and Carole, coming along for the ride and finally processing some long-overdue trauma.Seemingly everyone starts to think about what they'll be doing after graduation (even the ones who aren't graduating), Marley gets some advice from Mercedes, and Blaine gets hit on by his new midgame (wait, did we say that?).Join us as we journey through Finn's favorite songs and learn the fate of the Glee Club.Find us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksInterested in how we do it?

Hello, Fire Fam. We're back with another 9-1-1 Mini Series episode because, frankly, too much happened in 8x09 and 8x10 to not talk about.We have to give it up for Scream Queen of the Aughts, Jennifer Love Hewitt, for fully bringing it during her latest banana nut story line, even if we have critiques about it being a little recycled. We also lament the loss the quirky procedural 911 calls from the early seasons and hope for their return to bring some levity back to the show in the midst of all this drama.But more importantly, we're here to discuss the Buddie Of It All. We explore the dramatic implications of Eddie's move to El Paso and how it affects Buck, even if Eddie isn't quite ready to truly see what's going on between them. Call us shippers, but the story on the screen certainly seems to be leading us down an old, familiar road. But where does the road end?XOXO,FotRFind us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksInterested in how we do it?

Welcome back, Fire Fam. Today's9-1-1 Mini Series bonus episode focuses on two characters who have a lot going on at the moment: Buck and Eddie andbuckandeddie. With the recent behind-the-scenes footage, Emily and Alison deep-dive into speculation of what the filming could mean for 9-1-1 season 8b and the characters' futures. (Spoiler spec abounds!). Does this actually mean buddie will go canon? We've got an hour to talk about it.Your hosts also conduct a nostalgic rewind into another explosive filming night that brought together the entireGlee fandom, and reminisce about how these behind-the-scenes glimpses into the filming process can ignite passionate discussions within the fandom community."The footage suggests that we are getting a buddie goodbye in the rain, which is some of the rom-comiest shit I've ever seen in my life."What's your speculation for 8b?xoxo,FotRFind us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksInterested in how we do it?Create your own podcast with Zencastr and start telling your story.
Have you ever wanted to spend more time in your high school than strictly necessary? If so, this episode of Glee is for you. This is S5E10, "Trio." At McKinley, Tina, Blaine and Sam decide to the most of their last days of the school year by attempting to stage a "senior lock-in." In New York, Rachel bonds with Elliott, which annoys Santana and sets off even further antagonism between Rachel and Santana and leads to Elliott quitting Angela Lansbury. Won't somebody stop the fighting? Fed up with Rachel and Santana (aren't we all?), Kurt announces he's started a new band with Elliott and Dani (remember her?) and they've already booked a gig. Will this help Rachel and Santana get their act together? Probably not permanently.

Welcome to the second episode in our 9-1-1 Mini Series. Alison and Emily discuss Eddie Diaz's possible queer experience and how the on-screen narrative is driving towards that revelation. On purpose or not? You decide. They also chat at length about the emotional and physical rollercoaster Buck and Eddie are currently trapped on and why that might be behind the current fandom obsession behind putting those men into Situations. Your mileage may vary. And the hosts end the episode on a really light-hearted topic: does Bobby Nash deserve his second family? "Bobby Nash is not a real person. This is a philosophical exercise." This show is a soap opera, which more fire engines and fewer evil twins. So far. Missed our first Bonus 9-1-1 mini series episode?

Everyone's feuding again this week on Glee on the Rocks. This is S5E9, "Frenemies." Glee once again raises the age old question: are these people even friends at all? Probably not. Artie and Tina, two of our New Directions OGs, compete for both Senior Class Valedictorian and a solo at Nationals. Which...is a like a week or two away. You'd think they'd have this set list locked up by now. In NYC, Santana decides to audition for the role of understudy in Funny Girl. Rachel's Funny Girl. Rachel's dream role that only she gets to play, apparently. And Rachel takes it very, very well. (She doesn't.) This revives their own feud that has never actually died. (Remember how there was a whole Season 4 episode called Feud?) Most importantly, who does a better "Don't Rain on My Parade"? Rachel or Santana?

Christmas is coming and what more could we ask for than a truly chaotic, non-canonical episode of Glee. This is the infamous S5E8, "Previously Unaired Christmas." While Glee's Christmas episodes are generally beloved by fans, this is not one of them. In an alternate version of Lima, Ohio where The Glee Club gets things done, the New Directions are preparing for the Annual Christmas Decoration competition while also planning a living Nativity Scene for the school. On the East Coast, Santana joins Rachel and Kurt for a New York Christmas and Rachel lands them part-time gigs as elves at a local mall. Unfortunately, the Mall Santa is a full-time creep who threatens to ruin their holiday spirit. Let's not take strangers home, kids. Maybe this episode is camp or maybe it's just bad. That's for you to decide now. Don't worry, at the end we share some of our Christmas movie recommendations for a much-needed palate cleanser.

Hello #FireFam. We're here to hit you with a surprise, wanted or unwanted. We're starting a mini series about 9-1-1. Yeah, another Ryan Murphy show. Because we're masochists. It even gets it's own podcast cover art. And this is the first episode.Emily and Alison share how they fell into the 9-1-1 universe (slowly, then all at once for Alison), discuss their favorite characters and storylines, and touch a little on the broader impact of Ryan Murphy's work (that bastard).So whether you're a long-time viewer or you're new the series in Season 8 because you heard something might be going down, welcome. We're all family in this house.

Have you ever wondered what an episode of Glee would be like while crashed out on carbon monoxide poisoning? Well, now you know. This is S5E7, "Puppet Master." Blaine Warbler Anderson struggles to be seen as a leader of the New Directions despite his longevity in the club. A gas leak in the choir room leads to puppet-filled hallucinations that somehow leads to no one receiving medical attention. Everyone's favorite tracksuit wearing principal Sue Sylvester embarks on a journey of femininity after someone calls her "one of the guys." Listen, it's hard to be a woman in a male-dominated industry. Over in New York, Kurt has to balance ambition against collaboration and teamwork in his band, Pamela Lansbury, given Starchild's undeniable onstage presence. And of course, this episode features one of the bottom 10 worst Glee performances of all time.

Billy Joel is next on the Glee Tribute Episode chopping block as the New Directions seniors remember it's almost time to move on out of McKinley High. This is S5E6, "Movin' Out." Graduation looms large (maybe larger than Nationals) and Blaine and Sam take a week off school to take a sneak peek at their upcoming lives in New York City. Artie attempts to encourage Becky to take a chance on her own college dreams, while Sue Sylvester tries to keep Becky back in Lima as her secretary where she thinks it's safer for Becky. The Marley-Jake-Ryder love triangle goes full cringe with public declarations of Big Feelings, roses in lockers, and both of the hosts of this podcast wish Marley would find someone better.

Google searches for twerking peaked in August of 2013. So of course Glee dedicated an episode to it that aired in October of that year. This is S5E5, "The End of Twerk." Blaine gets caught throwing it back in the choir room, inspiring Mr. Schuester to attempt to incorporate the dance into The New Directions' repertoire. It goes just as well as you can imagine. Unique struggles to to use the McKinley High bathroom that aligns with her gender identity, facing bullying and discrimination, a storyline that is remarkably (and sadly) timely even now. Despite the jarring tonal shifts, the plot line is handled with a surprising amount of sensitivity for a show known for...not doing that.

Welcome to the Season 2 finale of Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast. This is 2x12, "Master Plan." Gerard Argent reveals his ultimate master plan (get it? It's the episode title), setting the stage for a dramatic showdown worthy of a season finale. Assumed dead at the end of the last episode, Jackson Whittemore reemerges during the final battle, commanded by Gerard to attack the werewolves. But a surprising redemption comes in the form of one Lydia Martin. Maybe it really is all about the power of love. Chris Argent's ongoing internal struggle and eventual decision to defy his father and release Boyd and Erica from captivity mark a significant turning point for his character. Are we Chris Argent stans? Probably. We love a morally gray character. As Season 2 closes out and we look towards Season 3, Gerard's fate remains uncertain (boo!), and the introduction of an Alpha Pack hints at even greater challenges for Scott, Derek, and the pack members. Can't they ever get a break in Beacon Hills?

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we expect the unexpected on the penultimate episode of Season 2. This is S2E11, "Battlefield." With Scott academically ineligible to play in the championship lacrosse game, Stiles is thrust into the big game despite a serious lack of previous field time. But the championship isn't the only thing on the line - Gerard is planning on activating Jackson as the Kanima at the end of the game unless Scott gives up Derek. Jackson isn't the only teenager leaving a trail of destruction and vengeance. Allison and her father are on a dark mission to hunt down two of Derek's pack members, Boyd and Erica, but her motives are murky. How many will survive this season? There's only one more episode left this season, and now we're missing Stiles Stilinski...

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast it's a rough night at the Beacon Hills Sheriff's department. This is 2x10, "Fury. " Scott and Stiles try to convince the Sheriff that Creepy Matt is the true villain behind all of the murders, not Mr. Harris (even if Mr. Harris still sucks). But Matt is a step ahead of them, leading to a chaotic battle at the Sheriff's department between the Pack, Matt, and the Kanima under his control. Melissa learns a shocking secret about her son. Alan Deaton finally offers up some backstory, explaining he used to be something of an advisor to the Hale Pack, and that he made a promise to Talia Hale to to help Derek. You can decide how well he's been keeping this promise. Alison takes a dark turn under Gerard's emotional manipulation, leading further towards revenge.

This week on Glee on the Rocks we're parsing one of the greatest questions of human history: are you a Katy or are you a Gaga? This is S5E4, "A Katy or a Gaga." Nationals is looming and the latest competition, Throat Explosion, are stepping on the New Directions' niche of being "outsiders." Instead of dividing the New Directions into boys and girls for this week's Glee Club lesson, Mr. Schue opts to separate them into "Katy Perrys" and "Lady Gagas" in order to push them out of their comfort zones. It makes sense in the episode...kind of. Over in New York, Kurt Hummel is on a mission to get our of his own comfort zone and cross an item off his NYC bucket list by starting a band. Something he definitely has time for between work and classes. But the will the unforgettable and wildly talented Starchild (aka Adam Lambert) be too much for Kurt's ego to handle? Also there's relationship drama, because of course there is. So, are you a Katy or a Gaga? Or do you refuse to fit into the pop girl binary?

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we're dressing up and doing our hair for S2E9, "Party Guessed." It's Lydia Martin's birthday, but not everything is a celebration. She's plagued by nightmares of Peter Hale, who convinces her to do something "special" for him during her birthday party, which just so happens to coincide with the Worm Moon. We wouldn't recommend doing anything Peter Hale asks you to do. We also follow the tragic fate of Victoria Argent to its bitter end. After being bitten and facing the inevitability of turning into a werewolf, Victoria must make a heartbreaking decision that sets Allison on a new path. This week's episode acts as a culmination of two important storylines we've been following all season: just who is the Kanima's master and why Peter Hale has been haunting Lydia. The trauma is deep in this one.

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we're celebrating our 20th episode! Thanks for being here, friends. This is S2E8, "Raving." Chaos explodes at a secret (maybe not-so-secret) rave where Scott and Stiles attempt to trap Jackson before the Argents get to him. Sheriff Stilinski struggles to make sense of the ongoing killings when he doesn't have all of the pieces to put together (not the last time this happens, we're afraid). Scott has a near-deadly encounter with Allison's mom, Victoria, who is more than a little upset about her daughter being in love with a werewolf. But this scheme ends with unintended, tragic, and long-lasting consequences. Most importantly, it's time for the emergence of Magic Stiles. Stiles is tasked by Deaton with a job that will require him to draw upon a previously untapped force of will, and just maybe an unknown well of power. Maybe we should all just stay away from raves with werewolves, yeah?

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we're slithering into S2E7, "Restraint." The secrets of Jackson Whittemore are slowly getting revealed as Erica tells the Pack about Jackson's birth parents after a well-earned restraining order sidelines Scott and Stiles' investigations into the Kanima. But someone is pulling Jackson (and the Kanima's) strings and it's imperative they find out before more people die. Creepy Matt with his camera continues to obsess over Allison and no one seems to be worried about this except for us, your dutiful hosts, even as Allison accepts an invite to attend a rave with Matt. Sure, Matt was useful for his video camera, but it's time for him to go now. Lydia's world continues to unravel around her - can she believe what she sees? What she hears? Who she's speaking to?

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we're jumping into S2E6, "Frenemy." We explore Jackson's shocking (and really awesome looking) transformation into the dangerous Kanima. His true motivations are currently unknown, but everyone in Beacon Hills is after him. The stakes climb ever higher as we slide into the second half of the season. Lydia grows (rightfully) suspicious of her friends' odd behavior and the increasingly strange occurrences going down in Beacon Hills, but the McCall Pack remains unwilling to tell Lydia what's truly going on in an effort to keep her safe. Except they do want her help translating the Bestiary section on the Kanima. Scott and Stiles search for the Kanima at The Jungle, a local gay nightclub, which gives this episode much needed levity and some of the most iconic lines of Teen Wolf canon.

This week on Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast we're dissecting S2E5, "Venomous." Derek Hale suspects Lydia Martin of being the mysterious shapeshifter, forcing Scott McCall to rally his pack, and even some enemies, to protect her, leading to a pack vs. pack showdown. As if high school chemistry class isn't hard enough, the classroom becomes a battleground with Erica Reyes and Isaac Lahey on a mission to test Lydia by feeding her Kanima venom to see if she really is immune to its effects. It might be one of our favorite scenes. And if if that isn't enough on Lydia's plate, she's experiencing visions that leave her, and us, questioning what is real and what is not.

This week on Glee on the Rocks we're talking S5E3, "The Quarterback." When a television show intersects with real-life tragedy, the aftermath can be a delicate dance between the narrative and respect. "The Quarterback" serves as Glee's heartfelt tribute to Cory Monteith and his beloved character, Finn Hudson. As we navigate through the episode, we discuss how Glee chose to honor Cory and Finn's memory on screen, because these songs are not just performances; they're eulogies, farewells, and love letters. We also look at the decisions made by the writers. Was it too soon to return to production? How do you craft a narrative around such a profound absence? And how do you move forward without forgetting? Join us to remember and celebrate our Quarterback.
