I can't get no satisfaction! Welcome to the FINAL, LAST EVER episode of Glee. It's finally time for a finale! Unfortunately, much like the rest of Glee, it's a bit of a stinker. Don't worry, though, we'll be back next week to do a real finale that doesn't stink! We're putting the entire series on trial so come back in 2 weeks to hear all about it. If you have thoughts or feelings you want to share with us, or potentially have us share on the finale, please reach out in the ways below: Email:...

In a very unsurprising turn of Glee events, the writers have decided to prove how much growth the characters have had by taking us back to the beginning with 2009 (that's the name of the episode). Watch the even older actors but on horrible but period accurate costumes and revisit the youngest versions of their characters. Hit us up at [email protected] and @sandmhateglee on Twitter before our final discussion episode 2 weeks from now ;)

We're back! It's time for Sectionals, whether you're ready/have 12 people/have a mysterious confluence of events that allowed you to reach this point or not! Shoutouts to the SFX team who did a fantastic job on a specific tree branch and welcome to the beginning of the end.

Maggie and Sam discuss The Rise and Fall of Sue Sylvester, episode 10 of the final season. Ironic, and easy to misinterpret, use of the Fox News triggers your hosts and a mysterious whistleblower unseats one of the strongest powers at McKinley.

We're back! Welcome to a surprisingly not terrible episode of a dying television show. Bask in its light, but not too close or else you'll cross the event horizon and get sucked into the depths of darkness that lie beneath!

This episode of television is what inspired the federal legalization of gay marriage. Come here Sam and Maggie slowly wither like flowers without sunlight as they discuss the 8th episode of season 6, in which a ~surprise~ double wedding takes place while the Pierces steal the show.

Howdy all! Welcome back, we're here to discuss what was hopefully Glee's last big opportunity to stick their foot in their mouth on a big social issue, "Transitioning." Luckily, and surprisingly, they didn't actually do that bad a job! links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee [email protected]

Hello everyone! We're back, and we're not going away until Glee does! This episode is a real snooze fest, but we're here to spice it up with our hottest of takes. links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee [email protected]

Welcome back! We're wrapping up the second part of arguably the most bizarre turn in Glee's cannon, and Sue gets some really "important" and "meaningful" backstory that definitely needed to exist. links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee patreon [email protected]

WHAT IS HAPPENING If you haven't watched this episode of Glee, boy howdy are you in for a ride. Everyone knows the prestige should come out of nowhere and make zero sense and not explain anything! links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee patreon [email protected]

We're back! Okay folks, season 6 is wild. It's just bizarre? And not great, sadly. But I guess that's why the show ended. links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee patreon [email protected]

Welcome back! The slow trudge through the rest of Glee continues as Maggie and Sam talk about "Homecoming," an episode that tries to reboot the whole thing again I guess? Anyway, we meet some cool new people, shame that they won't be here that long. links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee patreon [email protected]

We begin the end this week with the episode, "Loser Like Me". All of our once-loved characters are grappling with failure in an similar manner as the show itself was at the time, which really gives off a sense of true desperation.

Hey everyone, sorry about the delay in episodes - our home has been ravaged by an annoying cold. Anyway, this is our wrap-up episode for season 5 featuring Sam's kitty, Gus. Don't worry about him, he just wanted to be included. Anyway, season 5 - the best season of Glee? No, of course not. It is a strange turn though and we walk through memory lane to think really hard about it. We'll be back with season 6, and it's already rowdy lemme tell you! links~ twitter and instagram:...

We're back with everyone's favorite - the end of a season of Glee. We're so close but we still have one more season! Next week we'll be back with our own end of season episode.

If you had to sing a love song to a dog, would you make sure the lyrics don't imply bestiality? Chris Colfer, when writing this episode, did not consider this question. Sam and Maggie discuss Rachel and Snixx trying to repair an image that is true, but not flattering. Kurt makes a friend and has finally found where he belongs: the center of attention. Sam disregards the wants, needs, and words of Mercedes and also refers to Artie as a pet. So yeah. Its a bad one folks.

Howdy everyone! Sorry about the delay - you know, moving and all. Anyway, thanks for joining us once again to wonder where the hell Glee went wrong. It obviously did this episode, but just why? Why is a big question, sure, but it's the one we really cannot figure out. links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee patreon [email protected]

The common narrative around subverting expectations seems generally positive, but, if your main character is about to achieve a life long goal in one big bombastic moment, is it even reasonable to have the story focus on anything else?? Is it subverting expectations to see a now 3rd tier character having a one night stand with a one-episode character??? Sam and Maggie dwell on these questions during this week's episode. links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee patreon [email protected]

Howdy! We're back for a nice long episode about the less fun parts of sex. You know, abstaining until marriage and telling your sexual flings that you might have given them chlamydia. Also, Sam is very sorry - he knows the Shakespearean play is actually Much Ado About Nothing, and he's sorry especially to Kenneth Branagh for mixing it up with As You Like It. I guess he's sorry to Shakespeare, too, but really who cares about that. links~ twitter and instagram:...

Gracefully returning, the siblings discuss episode 15 of season 5 this week, Bash. There is suggestion of violence and hate crimes are a central point for the main plot of the episode, but there is also a live reading of star wars fan fiction, faux fur coats being thrown into rivers, and the most cringey dinner scene in the show's history. links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee patreon [email protected]

Sam and Maggie are here to discuss the end of an era. It's curtains for the Nude Erections and no Temple Grandin-inspired dance numbers nor acoustic reprises will save them. links~ twitter and instagram: @sandmhateglee patreon

Hey all! It's time for another episode - this time, it's Glee's glorified version of a clip show. They're redoing numbers, inviting back guests, and generally being fine. Not great, not terrible, just fine. links~ Twitter: @sandmhateglee Email: [email protected] Patron: patreon.com/sandmhateglee Instagram: @sandmhateglee

Sam and Maggie discuss "City of Angels" this week, where the sun is hot in LA, but the competitive spirit is hotter! Before you tweet, we know that it's Skylar Astin and not the 3 different ways we said it throughout the episode. Leader!Sam upsets ND's hierarchy, Glabies take some of their final turns around the ol plot track, and a fancy circus performer intimidates the prince of hell. links~ Twitter: @sandmhateglee Email: [email protected] Patron: patreon.com/sandmhateglee Instagram:...
