House of House: A House Rewatch Podcast

Comedian and friend of the cast Dan Wilbur returns to discuss an episode where Breckin Meyer plays a painter with messed up visions and also creepy stuff happens with that PI guy. Plus we discuss XXX parody ideas for the Twilight Zone, Drug names, and the world's worst game show. This is a fun episode with some all-time riffs so listen right now!

Can you replace your best friend with an annoying Private Detective? That is just one question we look to answer with our guest, comedian Rebecca Kaplan, cohost of the Bad Fan Fiction Podcast. We also rediscover noir stories from first principles, try to figure out if a math professor is a major downgrade from an architect, read some fan fiction, and more!Why did all of the patients who received the organs from one donor get sick? Listen and learn!

Friend of the show Kacie Tergesen ("Girl in Trouble Stories" and "Sound Snackz") joins us again to deal with the fallout of Amber's death. Wilson wants to leave and Thirteen seems confused.She maybe wants a better job... or more responsibility... or a kid. It feels like the kind of story that would be written by a man about a woman who found out she was going to die in a decade which, to be fair, it is.We've also got lots of fun stuff exploring the contradictions of the vaguely high powered feminist lawyer (?) who helps men around the world get out of harassment, why The Pitt is good, and so much more!

Sara Ghaleb returns for the big season 4 finale!! Who would win, a woman without kidneys or the flu pills that kill you if you don't have kidneys?The answer will not surprise you.It's an emotionally powerful episode with great performances but don't worry! You'll also get our takes on the big Anora vs A Real Pain screenplay page debate and whether we think it would be comfortable to use a blow up doll.The answer will not surprise you!

This is a big, big episode and we're glad you're here with us for it!House is playing the role of concussion detective as he tries to figure out what life threatening symptom he noticed right before taking part in a frankly wild bus crash.Along the way we get a lot of well-realized mind palace detective adventures, the wackiest stripper you've ever seen, and a strip dance from Lisa Edelstein.What is the mystery House is trying to remember? Honestly if you don't know you should watch the episode before listening to this one, because we spoil it!

Sara Ghaleb returns for a beautifully unhinged episode of House that starts with House kidnapping a soap opera star and only gets wilder from there.Did you know the hospital inspector is here for a surprise inspection? And Wilson and Amber are buying a mattress?! AND CAMERON HAS TO DO PAPER WORK?Trust me, it's great. We've also got some Emmy hot takes and some advice for how certain Supreme Court Justices could be much cooler.

Can someone be... too nice?! Well we aren't... to this episode! Yes, there's a great B plot with Amber and House fighting over Wilson, but as Lenny says the main plot feels like a parody of a House episode and then you've got two competing C plots. But hey, you get to hear Wilson talk about using lube, so it's not all bad!

Oy Vey is this ever a Jewish episode! Lenny is out this episode but comedian, writer, and friend Jay Welch is in! Laura Silverman plays a woman who becomes Chasidic, gets married, and then gets sick. Whether you like hearing about major disputes in the Talmud, tasteless reality show ideas, or whether it's smart to eat a whole bunch of Challah before major surgery, you'll find something to love so listen now!

This episode of House is going down under... no, further down under than that! Yes, Mira Sorvino guest stars as a psychiatrist at the South Pole, though I think I said it was Mena Suvari. Whoops! House of House favorite Sara Ghaleb rejoins the show to discuss this episode that originally aired after the Super Bowl. It's got everything you could want, from pee drinking to a mysterious woman for Wilson.

It's a Christmas Miracle for a Christmas episode! Yes, for once we actually have the Christmas episode coming out right on time. That being said, it's also a miracle that you're getting to hear this episode at all since the audio didn't process properly at first. It's still a little janky, but tis a season for forgiveness and good cheer so we hope you'll understand. Anyway, House says slurs and is creepy towards a tween. He also does a fun Santa con... as in deceit, not the thing where people dress as Santa and get drunk.

The games are finally over... or are they just beginning?! Jeremy Renner, a man who is probably the most currently famous person to have ever been on the show, plays crusty punk rocker Jimmy Quidd who is the wildest PG rated punk you've ever seen. It's a little anticlimactic for the end of the tournament arc but there's still some fun stuff in this episode and we have fun covering it!

Well, we broke our record for longest episode again. You're WELCOME! Ellie Warren returns to discuss the curious case of a magician and a panty raid. We also get pretty blue!! If you have a problem with multiple long tangents about c*m and the 2010s comedies that revolve around it, this episode may not be for you. But you should listen anyway, because I bet you'll like it. Hey, we had fun recording it, you might as well give it a try. I can almost guarantee you'll learn something.

It's a meta episode, folks! Some documentarians are making the equivalent of a TLC show about a kid with a deformity but they lucked out, because they get to film an episode with House instead! It's also a Taub centric episode, which is quite the treat! Listen for our takes, plus the possibilities of a House revival and the reveal of the ultimate birthday boy.

Trevor Drinkwater joins us for a wild House episode where House finally gets to consult for the CIA, like we've all been waiting for! There's also polio discourse! Plus we dig deep into which actors can play Jews, talk job applications, and come up with some better names for Steven Spielberg movies and so much more! You gotta listen to this one. Right now! Do it!

Fan favorite guest and House expert Sara Ghaleb returns for a fun and goofy House episode. What will the team do when they have to treat an X-Man capable of reading people's dreams and emotions? If you guessed they'll have individual revelations, you're right! We also touch on politics, Glee, Elon Musk's stupid robots and so much more! Listen now!

It's a spooky Halloween episode for spooky season! There's talk of Beetlejuice and grave robbing. It's also a real barn burner! Lenny and me disagree on the episode's quality. You're going to want to listen to this ferocious throwdown and pick your sides. Who do you stan? Listen now!

OK, so before we get too deep into it, yes the dog dies. It's a real bummer but it's true, especially when it's such a cute dog as this one. Gabriel Laks returns for a very uneven episode. It has the highs of House sticking a knife in an electrical socket to try to see heaven and the lows of House berating a paralyzed guy because he wants his suffering to end. Also that dog dies, as we mentioned. But you will hear about the new House opening we came up with and also bear witness to the eternal body surfing vs swimming debate!!

The tournament arc begins for real! We've got an exciting episode as we see what happens when you put a lot of people, most of whom are doctors, in a room and make them compete for House's affection. It injects a whole to of fun into the series and may be its best arc of all time?! You'll have to listen to find out for sure! We also discuss the super secret DNC guest and fame, conceptually.

It's time for a new season and you know what that means: we talk about JD Vance and Girls (2012-2017) for half an hour! But the rest of the time it's all House, baby! Chris Kopcow joins us for a great season premier with goofy Wilson antics and a twist even Shyamalan couldn't predict! You'll have to listen if you want to know more!

Season 3 ends not with a bang but with the team whimpering off. It's a duo episode with just the H of H Boyz you know and love. When a Cuban Jason Schwartzman shows up looking to save his wife, House has to ignore and mock him and challenge God just enough to save her life. Yeah, it's a pretty standard episode, but not a bad one. Here's to Season 4 and the Reality Competition to come!

Michael Chau returns for "The Jerk." Wait, are we discussing the Steve Martin movie?! No silly goose! We're talking abut the House episode. Don't worry, I make that joke in the episode as well. We've got a bratty chess teen prodigy and he manages to piss off the whole team through the ancient art of being a whiny bigot. Plus we've got discussions of why you shouldn't say a slur even if the world is ending and more!

It's a gross one! We have eye trauma, skull melting, and what the kids these days call "unalivele tendencies." We're joined by director Lauren Greenhall to discuss the joys of dosing your friends as well as the problems with kids these days, the number of sex positions that exist, and more!

Ellie Warren returns for her second ever House episode! And it's a wild one! It has brothers sacrificing to save each other, Foreman torturing a child, and an adorable dog. Plus we discuss Tumblr quotes that could be in the Bible, why you should get to try heroin before you die, and the comments people leave below pornography. All this and more! So listen!

Lenny isn't here this week because he's busy showing condos inn New Jersey. To fill in, we have the power couple of writer/comedian Al Mullen and director/producer Ruth Lichtman. This episode has some amazing acting from Omar Epps, even if the script leaves a lot to be desired. We also discuss Arrival, hear from former President Obama, and talk Jeans Gone Wild.

House of House favorite Sara Ghaleb returns for an episode that features both comedic Shakespearean hijinks and kids going through super early puberty in equal measure. The two plots vary in quality a bit, but there's also Joel David Moore from Avatar! I bet you're thinking we don't discuss the Purim video parody of Superbad I was part of in high school, but we do! And much more!

Comedian Hoff Matthews joins us for a top tier episode of House MD: Airplane Doctor. This is really great stuff. On the ground we have an old party lesbian and in the sky, there's a plane full of people terrified of catching mystery rash vomit disease. Among the topics discussed are the best times to meet a courtesan, the worst time to be joining the mile high club, and the deadest cat alive.

Everyone's favorite House expert Sara Ghaleb returns for an episode where a pregnant woman's fetus is trying to kill her and Cuddy, eventually, realizes she's just like her fr and decides to do a House impression and save them both. Also there's a cameo from the front man of The All American Rejects. We spend a to of time talking about the All American Rejects.

Woah, House had a dream about a patient he never met?! Could it be that this marine is a dream traveler?! No, it turns out House is just a prophet. We're joined by Doug Lief of the Nostalgium Arcanum podcast (https://nostalgiumarcanum.fireside.fm/) to analyze an episode that asks "what if you couldn't pee?" It turns out the answer is "it would be no good!" So listen now! You might even learn the best place to see celebrities...

For this very "nice" episode, we decided to take a brief diversion from our usually scheduled program to take a look at the House MD video game. Writer and game developer Chris Kopcow returns to the show for a video game that looks like if you stuck WarioWare and a visual novel in a blender and then covered the whole thing in WikiHow illustrations. Our particular experience was also narrated by someone who referred to themself as the "House of Let's Players" but this was like ten years ago so we try not to be too harsh. Enjoy this fun episode, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled program next episode!

Prestigious actor Dave Matthews is in this episode so we had Dave Matthews expert Steve Fiorillo return to march some ants, if you know what I mean. Would you want to be a piano genius if it meant not being able to button your shirt? That's sort of what this episode asks. It also has House doing a straight up Pickle Rick type bit for whatever that's worth. What do I mean by that? You'l have to listen and see! Also there are some audio issues here but I tried my best to mitigate them be nice to meeeee.

Content warning for a person being sliced open and having a worm pulled out of their guts. Michael Chau returns for a wild episode that has a lot of great stuff to dig into but is also very hard to watch. This podcast episode, however, is quite easy to listen to. Yes, whether you want to hear about House MD, Cuphead, or circumcision, this is the episode for you! It's packed with more fun than a worm in an intestine. What does that metaphor mean? I guess you'll have to listen to find out!

If you wanted to learn a little bit about the history of the Romani people in New Jersey, thus is the podcast episode for you! Writer, director, and all around friend and funny guy Gabriel Laks joins us to look at a... mostly sympathetic look at Roma people? We think? If any Romani Cuddy Buddies are listening let us know! Of course there's a lot more fun to be had! Hear a story about a nice lady who recommended a certain musical to Gabe and me cause of our "love of cursing." Find out why you should never swallow a toothpick! Learn about a weird little bigot Andrew met at smart person camp. And so much more!

Big Content Warning for this one! House has a woman who was sexually assaulted and then also it turns out she's Christian so they have like a college freshman philosophy argument. This is a good House of House episode about one of the worst House MD episodes. Wishing someone would mention the mostly forgotten sitcom "Yes Dear" and celebrate the time it got a theme song? This is the show you've been waiting for!

The Tritter arc ends, not with a bang but with an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Writer and game designer Chris Kopcow joins us for a bit of a wild episode where House is saved by a random judge and firefighter asks to be plugged back into the Matrix so his false memories won't bother him anymore. Did that make any sense? I guess you'll just have to listen to the episode to understand it. We also finally crack why smoking looks cool and vaping doesn't plus a whole lot more!

Happy New Year! Have a Christmas episode! House is fully in withdrawal mode, which, as you know, makes you a bad doctor unlike when you're constantly zonked on pills. Despite this setback, House finds time to have the only sexual chemistry we've seen him have so far. It's with a mother with dwarfism and also her daughter has dwarfism... OR DOES SHE?! Things might be rough for House but we have ourselves a wonderful time with this fun episode. We even find time for a diversion about some of the weirdest Twitter ads we've seen recently. Alright, listen up and let's have a good 2024 with only good things for everyone.

Alexa Feeney returns for a House episode featuring the most divorced parents of all time! Will they get back together? Will House convince the hospital to saw off the daughter's limbs? Why is Tritter trying to get House off pills when he lives in a universe where guzzling pills makes you a great doctor? Are those even pain pills or are they just "good at doctoring" pills? Plus we weigh in on the "30 Rock discourse," Alexa speculates about a House MTG Commander deck, and much much more!

Hugh Laurie delivers some of his best work in an episode that has high points and also Foreman being really annoying and wrong. What happens when some kids are left parentless? Apparently their brother has to step in to raise them even though he works at Five Nights at Freddy's and also has a jacked up immune system. And if he doesn't he's a bad person?! Whatever. There's lots of great House/Wilson stuff and we've got a recap of the first 17 minutes of the House MD DS game, as watched being played by some noisy guy.

We're in peak House folks! We've got John Larroquette getting woken up from a coma for 24 hours and you know he wants a hoagie! Ellie Warren is here for her first full House episode and it's a great time to jump in. In addition to this all time banger of a House adventure we discuss MTV dating shows, puppy airlines, and go over an article that claims to count down the "cruelest House moments!' You don't wanna miss it!

We're back, baby! SAG got a deal so we're promoting the hell out of House MD, now available on Hulu as well as Amazon Prime. It's another episode dealing with a fat person, but it's handled a whole lot better even if Chase is still Hitler to him. We do briefly get into the Holmes story we promised to cover but who cares?! House is back! And he's in trouble with the law! Wilson might betray him?! It's a top tier ep and this is a top tier podcast ep about it, listen now!

Apparently Doyle was so impressed by the idea of alliteration and racist mobs that he built a whole mystery around it. Not a very good mystery, mind you. Still, it's fun to talk about. We also dunk on people with silly and ignorant views of history from our platform as people with Good and Correct views of history and we've got some terrible House listicle content that in no way promotes or suggests you watch the show! Want us to suggest you watch the show? Then give SAG a good deal DAVE!

Hard to believe, but this is our first murder. Yes, this isn't about a hidden painting or a bizarre scam to steal gold but a for real dead guy. And not just dead guy, a dead Australian guy! We've got our usual sassy Holmes but otherwise the mystery is a bit slight. It's still a fun discussion though, and we also divert into one of the original Edgar Allan Poe detective stories with a more surprising culprit and a bet about labor politics.

You've heard of the Hounds of the Baskervilles but what about the Catfish of London?! Our SAG strike coverage of the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes continues. In this thrilling adventure, he mostly sits in his office and listens to a lady. But what could have happened to her groom to be?! We also discuss various porn parody ideas and the movie 40 Days and 40 Nights and more! So listen!

Our Home of Holmes journey continues with "The Redheaded League." Can Holmes help the most credulous moron in London figure out if he was scammed? The mystery is a little bit better than last time but Doyle's still figuring it out. Watson does seem pretty excited to shoot a guy, at least, so that's fun. There's also a very current discussion of "Seven" or as you may know it, "SeSevenen." Also, there are discussions of multiple types of scams you should watch out for, so you can't afford not to listen! Plus it's funny!

We begin our Home of Holmes journey with our resident Sherlock Scholar, Sara Ghaleb (@SaraGhaleb), and "A Scandal in Bohemia." Holmes meets his greatest match: a woman of at least average intuition. While the "mystery" here might be a little underwhelming, the writing is compelling and there's a lot to dig in to. Were you worried we would be too focused and wouldn't go on any tangents during this podcast arc? Fear not! In addition to talking Holmes we've got plenty of climate politics talk and poking fun at Twitter weirdos. It's a fun time, and you'd have a fun time hearing it!

The SAG AFTRA strike continues so House of House Gaiden continues as well! This episode we're joined by Holmes Sara Ghaleb to quiz us on our Sherlock Holmes knowledge. Will Lenny's generally superior pop culture knowledge pay off or will Andrew dominate through his willingness to shameless employ Price is Right min maxing strategies? Play along and find out! And join us for the next episode, where we'll be discussing early Holmes tale "A Scandal in Bohemia!"

Normally this show implicit encourages you to watch a struck work. Not during the SAG AFTRA strike though! It's House of House: Gaiden time! Don't like it? Tell the studio execs to come to the table and open their pockets. In the mean time we've still got tons of fun stuff! Like today, we've got the real life shipping report and a House Cast Quiz! It's fun, it's funny, and you just might learn something. Listen in!

The Tritter Arc begins! Yes, House's next ultimate villain shows up to threaten to steal the Dragon Balls or whatever. He also has the worst fit of all time! Michael Chau returns for the start of the Tritter Arc and also Phil of the Future of Incest (spoilers!) We finally dive into some House fanfic and frankly I'm surprised it took us this long. Is there a long part two thirds of the way through where we just list off some great King of the Hill moments? HOO YEAH there is! Plus so much more! Listen! Listen now!

So the patient this week is a nonverbal autistic boy. Is it a good portrayal? Ehhhhh it could be worse? A teenager flirts with House again. Journalist Gita Jackson joins us to examine the highs and lows and ask the real questions like: Where are all the movies where old ladies have sex? We also take a deep dive into the Frogger PSP game, learn all the different possible explanations of what a line in the sand can be, dunk on some Twitter teens and so much more! It's a supersized episode jam-packed with good times so you better start listening ASAP!

Paging Dr. Joker! House is faced with his true greatest opponent, and old guy who just wants to die. Seth Finkelstein joins us for a very special episode where the whole team ponders the ethics of medically assisted suicide. Well, most of the team ponders, Chase just starts watering at the mouth, We've also got one of the most uhhh problematic b-plots we've had in a while. Leighton Meester is here, and she is playing a teenager who wants to... get in the House if you know what we mean. She wants to bang Dr. House, that's what we mean. We all feel a little differently about the quality of this episode of House, but we think you'll find the House of House episode is top quality. Also, would you pay us $5000 on Patreon to watch the Bry*n S*inger doc when it comes out?

OK, there's still some more of the nonsense with Wilson lying to House, but it's over by the end of the episode. And the stuff that isn't that? It's aliens and tiny Skyler Gisondo! Neat! Dan Wilbur returns to the House as the House team needs to figure out why little Sky thinks aliens are abducting him and we wonder why no one takes this kid to a therapist. We also dig into Succession Twitter discourse, Breaking Bad opinions, and even a little Quantum Physics. It's chock full of fun so listen now!

We dive into season 3 of House and the water is... weird. We continue our run of guests who have never watched House before with Jon Butter! In this case it's two normal episodes packed into one episode but they act like it's totally different. House's leg doesn't hurt, which means he's being super nice except he's acting the same and everyone else just says he's being nice? But everyone else is acting totally out of character? Is this still a coma dream? We're a bit harsh but it's deserved! You can't win em all. We also deal with other important issues, like how the Gorillaz do live shows and finally correct the record on a massive error.
