Speaker 1

And That's what You Really missed with Jenna.

Speaker 2

And Kevin an iHeartRadio podcast.

Speaker 1

Welcome to you and That's what You Really miss podcast. Hello Kevin, Hi Jenna. I'm feeling spicy today.

Speaker 2

I know you are. I'm ready for it. I'm also feeling a little spicy.

Speaker 1

Great, this makes for a great show. Recipe for disaster too much spice. Speaking of which, well, I've seen Doune two twice. You should take dated with you that for the third time because he wants to see it in the theater and I have.

Speaker 2

Okay, I'm going to force Austin to see it and I want to go see it in the seventy milimeter IMAX, so I'll coordinate.

Speaker 1

Taken with you. Okay, okay, great, get him out of the house.

Speaker 2

Glad we did that.

Speaker 1

Great.

Speaker 2

Cool, It's you should see it though, Well do you see that anyway? This is a different podcast.

Speaker 1

Yeah, we'll talk about it later. And I get shot upon if I get my No, I don't. I just I have no interest in seeing it. I'm sure I would enjoy it, but I haven't seen it. I'm not sure from it. Yeah, yeah, okay, great, little bit much for me? Okay, this this is Glee and this is season three episode nineteen. Kevin, We're so close to the end of season three? Are you crazy?

Speaker 2

But I don't want to.

Speaker 1

I know it's lived up.

Speaker 2

The real ones did not lie the people who were out there screaming it from the rooftops that season three was great.

Speaker 1

They were not wrong.

Speaker 2

They weren't and the fans we trust.

Speaker 1

This is Promisurus. It aired on May eighth, twenty twelve. There's a lot that was happening. Somebody that I used to know was still number one. Oh and look new number one movie. It was The Avengers. I've seen it.

Speaker 2

I've seen it. We were also like obligated to see it because Joss Whedon wrote and directed it, and so we were like, oh my god, that's our boy. We'll go see it. And then it broke the world.

Speaker 1

Broke the world in two a million pieces, like I mean, the amount of films that have come out of that.

Speaker 2

But he set up that whole world like that. It was daily.

Speaker 1

I loved that misstounding Yes me too. We watched those often Englean News This week only seventh Leah, Cory, Darren and Diana and Matt went to the Mechala I wonder what I was like, I know, fancy we were we weren't included on those things. We were not. But they all look very dapper and beautiful.

Speaker 2

The theme was scapareally and proud of impossible conversations.

Speaker 1

Woooo. They all looked really great.

Speaker 2

Twenty twelve is not that long ago, and the difference in how people were dressing in twenty twelve and how they do now.

Speaker 1

Oh it is. I mean the Mechala has it's a costume party. When what year did all of a sudden it just turn into somebody tell us the pictures they look. Everyone looks very nice. They're very well dressed. But it's like a normal I would say, like twenty red cards totally you want like later teens it went that way. Yeah, it's really raining outside.

Speaker 2

Oh my goodness, isn't it cozy? It I lit my And this is not an ad, but I love boy smells candles. And there's I'm someone who is sort of naturally opposed to like celebrity versions of things. There's like a Casey Musgraves boy smells candle, Oh, slow burn, And I'm like, I don't want that. And then it's phenomenal.

Speaker 3

That sounds delicious. I bring it with me to different rooms. Wait, it is literally down pouring like it is dumping. I'm working dumping.

Speaker 2

It's not pouring to me yet, so before me, so it's probably coming my way.

Speaker 1

It is. I've never seen anything like this. Okay, oh my god.

Speaker 2

I can't wait. I'm ready. I'm literally staring out the window, just like your windows, because you know lighting, and we're staring at our. The trees have started to sway. I'll give an update once.

Speaker 1

We have it any better. You got to look, I.

Speaker 2

Wanted to be a meteorologist and I was little, so I've been waiting for this rain for a week.

Speaker 1

It's not too late, Evan, It's not too late. Okay. This was directed by Eric Stoltz, of course, because Eric does all the prominent episodes, and he does them real well. They're like watching John Hughes film. We know what we need to start doing. Though, is starting like a drinking game for Eric Stults prom episodes. Maybe it's too late now, but every time you see someone making out in the episode, do you take a shot? Shockingly, I don't think he

had us make out. Me and Harry make out in this one.

Speaker 2

There are a lot of background actors making out.

Speaker 1

I'm grateful they made an extra bit of cash. They you know that people who kiss on screen get like an extra bit of cash, as they should. It's a hazard hazard, it's COVID. It should be more.

Speaker 2

Now, you don't know where those mouths have been, no idea, they should if they had to kiss one of us. And it really has.

Speaker 1

Bay, We've been everywhere. Okay. So there's a good amount of songs in this episode. Actually there's only a few, but they're prom like the very fitting Big Girls Don't Cry. Dinosaur had never heard this song before that. No love you like a love song? What makes you? That's what makes you beautiful? That's not it's not that's what makes you beautiful. It's what makes you beautiful. Yeah, okay, and take my breath away. There are a lot of fun facts about this episode.

Speaker 2

There are, okay, so number one this episode features a scene from Funny Girl or Rachel sits in the auditorium wearing the same outfit Barbara did in the movie's beginning. Oh it was beautiful. It was a bit random, but I liked the drama.

Speaker 1

Air mil by Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band also played when Quinn runs to tear down the Lucy KUBUSI post to report this way, Oh my gosh, Lucy ka Boozy.

Speaker 2

Big Girls Don't Cry has different arrangements in the TV and studio versions, especially in the course where Kurt sings the first part. Instead of Blaine having one solo in it and Rachel having the other, they both sang the parts together. That's interesting normally, yeah, but it must have fit the that I feel like the thing like he probably wanted something for the story, Yeah, for.

Speaker 1

Them to enter separately, and so they were able to split the music totally. Kurt called Blaine borat and that was improvised by Chris because of course I did.

Speaker 2

Wonder because it felt like something Ian would write. But right right, that makes sense, oh, Chris. Darren hated Blaine's hair gel as the process would take over an hour every time and would be quite painful. However, he never mentioned how much he hated to anyone, as he still felt like the new kid and was scared he would get in trouble or annoy people if he complained.

Speaker 1

That sounds like Darren, Yeah, not a complainer, not a complainer. But at the end when he comes out with his hair on Jel. That's normally what Darren looks like, a heightened version if you will. No, no, sure, but that's like like Darren just like I don't care, I'm not gonna do my hair.

Speaker 2

Like yeah, damn no exactly.

Speaker 1

He does it for the you know, he doesn't when he has to. But that's Darren, I know, anyway, blaming Kurt actics if nobody had ever seen Blaine without jail before prom but he has been seen without it, Like, uh, I can't go for that, and you make my dreams come true. And during Rachel's house party, I don't know, I mean that feels right. Yeah, but they were like costume themes like Paul character, right, I don't know, but technically technically, yeah.

Speaker 2

We can't start doing that on this show.

Speaker 1

That is very very true.

Speaker 2

The whole Santana helping Quinn stand thing was all Nia's idea. After the first take that she did that, Eric Stolt said, Naya, I really like that you helped her up. Keep doing that.

Speaker 1

Oh of course, Stolt's just taking the reins like he normally does.

Speaker 2

Yeah, and it made sense it would be weird of Santana was just watching her like good luck.

Speaker 1

In the scenes at Figgin's office, Brittany says she stopped talking for a little while. This may be a reference to the fact that she had little to no lines from hold on to sixteen to.

Speaker 2

Yeah, they're doing that a lot. I'd say this episode and the next episode. In this episode before they're doing there's a lot of self referential material, which I always love and appreciation.

Speaker 1

Love, I love it love.

Speaker 2

Did you watch Boston Legal?

Speaker 1

No?

Speaker 2

I didn't do they do this to do that like shows I felt like, never did that, and Boston Legal would sometimes do that at the very end of ants reference the episode just happened, and I thought it was so good. I love a little metainess.

Speaker 1

And then also Becky playing the xylophone for the announcements is a reference to Greece, which I loved.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Did you get that when you saw it? Oh?

Speaker 2

Yeah, okay absolutely. In the episode, both Finn and Blaine are wearing parts of clothing they've worn before in the breakup. Bling wore his black vest and Finn wore his blue striped shirt. I'm a sucker for repeating outfits on TV because.

Speaker 1

That's the truth. Yeah, that's the truth. Maybe except for Kurts the only exception. This is the second time Finn wear his blue striped shirt in a prom episode, the first time Rugby. We love this. I love this.

Speaker 2

Quinn and Puck are the only seniors who didn't have their photos taken.

Speaker 1

M Our production designer Mark Hutman said, Ryan Murphy was driving home one day when he saw the dinosaur ride that was used for prom photos and struck a deal with the owner to rent it.

Speaker 2

For I feel like this fun fact is a whole episode one we need to get Mark Hutman because all of them insane stages, the production that everyone makes fun of, Like how did the Glee Club affore this? Like they couldn't afford a bust to Nationals, but they you could do Kurt and lights. Mark did all of that. Mark, outside of Andrew and Zach and Brooke obviously, and Ryan Murphy was always the other person in the dance rehearsals watching what was happening and was just such a genius.

Speaker 1

We just didn't see all that happening. But it's like so much work and so much creativity and so much like time put into that.

Speaker 2

So the other day I mentioned that podcast I'm obsessed with called Hollywood Gold. Yeah, producers. But there was a producer talking about past lives and they were talking about the things that people pretend to know about, you know, like lingo or things, and they it's been too long of a time to ask what it actually means, or you know, departments they don't really know about. And the producer she was saying, she's like, I don't think I

will ever understand the art department. She's like, that is a mystery to me. How you get some infos like I don't understand how it works, like how does like one plus one equal to like how do you see what's on the page? And then like what is the process of how it gets from that page to on that stage? And so quickly, especially in TV, and I fully agree, and getting scripts the day before, Yes, and then there was no shortage, like they didn't phone in anything.

Everything was so brilliant, that's true. I also want to ask Ryan. I can't picture Ryan stopping right this car asking for dinosaur.

Speaker 1

J mayn I use this for my TV show? I'll give you forty dollars. Well, speaking of dinosaurs, it is the Dinosaur prom show. Baby Brittany goes into high gear as the class president to spearhead the prom. Then after prom king and queen nominations are announced, the kids kick into campaign mode. In some of the outcasts organize a rival anti prom celebration.

Speaker 2

So I love this whole figgins going out. I mean, he calls her teenage trollop, which is insane and inappropriate but also funny. And I love the fact that she's completely abandoned her post as president, has just forgotten that it exists.

Speaker 1

Mm hmm. It is Brittany, very Brittany.

Speaker 2

Yes. And I enjoyed this storyline because I think a lot of times in what is played with Britney's character is that because she comes off aloof or maybe dumb, which we know she's not. It seems like that's a character that you can take advantage of. And I love the moments when Brittany exerts her dominance and uses her power. In that scene where she's talking to me like the prom committee is so good, and she uses that one girl for Rachel. It was really well done, really really

well done. The kid who's like the nerdy one, I was like, oh, he's better at artie than I am.

Speaker 1

But he's definitely from the avy club. Definitely. Absolutely, Yeah, that whole scene is really great.

Speaker 2

I just love getting to watch Heather play instances.

Speaker 1

I'm saying the most as nine things. Ever. She decides the theme is going to be dinosaurs, which we are all in the new directions, like.

Speaker 2

I wonder if that's how the writer's felt when Ryan came in one morning and was like.

Speaker 1

I got a dinosaur.

Speaker 2

The prompting is dinosaurs. Make it work.

Speaker 1

We have a lot of really weird prom themes coming up. This is just the beginning.

Speaker 2

Oh good, I'm excited.

Speaker 1

Brundle prom Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2

Strange, I have an update on the weather for you, Jenna.

Speaker 1

Is it down pouring?

Speaker 2

It's pouring.

Speaker 1

It is still. There's a puddle in my backyard now, like a huge puddle. And that was five ten minutes ago. Wow, buckle up, I'm going to fall on the side of the mountain. Oh my god. This could be the last podcasts. Okay, so we're gonna see a lot of dinosaurs that prom.

Speaker 2

Yes, that's right, and we get some great nominations for prom king and Queen. There was the sort of insane scene. Oh my god. Okay, so there's an insane scene where Rachel and Becky are in that bathroom right where Becky's practicing like her queenness. And Rachel because she's on a tear since she bombed her audition and is like, sweetie, you need to adjust your expectations, which is like Rachel minded business right. First of all, neither of it's like you're not getting nominated.

Speaker 1

I was gonna say, like, come on.

Speaker 2

Chill, And then we come to find out. So the nominees for the prom king are Rick the Stick, Finn and Brittany Jane's reaction to Strange and then Missy Gunderson, Satana and Quinn are nominees for prom queen. But all that is to say is Helen Mirren, the actual queen, is back and Eric Stultz is directing, and maybe that's why she's back. I don't know, but I was, oh, just tickled because I didn't expect her to ever come back.

Speaker 1

I mean, I'll take anything, I'll take a word.

Speaker 2

And it's so good, and like hearing her talk about being the queen when she obviously played the queen, and then hearing her say like don't look at me and all those things to the people in the hallway, It's like I just wish I could have been in that voice over session. I know, like I want to know what it feels like for Helen Mire and to read these scenes.

Speaker 1

Also one take wonder. I'm sure.

Speaker 2

I'm sure.

Speaker 1

Also Brittany has all these guidelines for prom. By the way, I had no hair gel allowed because the hair jal wasn't invented until after the time of the Dynasaur.

Speaker 2

Yeah, people were invented yet either.

Speaker 1

Ian. I call you Ian on that one, and I say, wow, Wow, let's talk about Becky because we're talking about the Queen Queen Becky, Queen Lauren Potter, who was really expecting to be nominated for prom Queen and didn't get it. She didn't get the nomination. Her tear on the xylophones.

Speaker 2

It was maybe my single favorite moment of the episode because she's just standing there and just flips that shit like in the hallway, the huge one, her hitting those trays in the lunchline.

Speaker 1

She must have had so much try. It was really great. It was really really great, so good.

Speaker 2

And the way I mean, I think if su Sevester is remembered for anything, obviously it's wow. It's really boring. Now, Jenna told you. It feels like a rainforest told you obviously like Sue's one liners are you know a plus plus, but her relationship with Becky and also molding Becky into this type of person almost like yes at the end when you're a bitch, It's like, this is their relationship is so special.

Speaker 1

I love it. I love it. It's my favorite part of the episode.

Speaker 2

Queen Becky for sure.

Speaker 1

So Becky Becky doesn't get the nomination, but it didn't matter, Yeah, Quinn to get her nomination and it is really, I guess Quinn's dream more than anything to get prom queen. I don't know, maybe this is this reminds you of something that you Kevin would like with the the feeling of like the stakes being really high in high school drama, of like wanting prom king and queen, but that it does not resonate with me at all. I'm like, really, she really wants it that bad, but I'll go with it.

Quinn's dream is to become prom queen next to getting into yell, I guess. And she realizes that she's going to get the sympathy vote for being in a wheelchair. I wonder how that makes already feel.

Speaker 2

I kept waiting for the camera to cut to meat and then she stands up a promptent and never do.

Speaker 1

I wish it had just already like stank face, Yeah, just furious.

Speaker 2

I what I like about Quinn, despite everything she's been through is that she is just as conniving and superficial as she's ever been. Right, she lost it, right, and it is dark to use her being in a wheelchair to get the sympathy.

Speaker 1

Vote I call cringe moment.

Speaker 2

Cringe moment also like in line with her character from season one, right right, and also like as high school and things are morally and ethically dubious.

Speaker 1

Right well look, and also getting the sympathy vote for being in the wheelchair after her car accident is different than than faking it to continue with the sympathy votes. Right, It's even worse, It gets worse. Yeah, that's why Tina had to stop the stutter. Oh man, remember that?

Speaker 2

How could I ever forget?

Speaker 1

I do think though, when Finn talks to Quinn, well, Finn decides that he's going to going to help campaign with Quinn as King and Queen.

Speaker 2

And Rachel is like, I know Quinn can't reach the wall where those posts are. I miss, so like, what are you two doing together? Rachel is just chaotic from the start of this episode because it really is someone spiraling, but she's masking it. Where she goes from this full delusion of my prom dress is the most important dress I'm going to wear besides my wedding dress, and I'm going to like my prom is the thing I need to be queen, and that completely gets shut down early,

and then she's upset that Finn is helping Quinn. But like, girl, you're not nominated. I know we passed this. Finn's getting married to you.

Speaker 1

I know, she says, I'm We're engaged. What else can I do? He's like, this girl has nothing and you have everything. But I guess it is high school. I did miss the little bit of that triangle a little bit, so I'm not mad at it.

Speaker 2

I love how it makes no sense, it makes high school sense. It makes me completely high school sense. This is the prom dress. Isn't most important thing at a time?

Speaker 1

You know?

Speaker 2

Yeah? I mean how many kids did we grow up with. Do you think they were planning their wedding dress and prom dress within the same year?

Speaker 1

Oh a lot of people, I'm shure. Yeah, I wore a white dress to my prom. It wasn't a prom. It wasn't like a wedding dress though. It was like a Hawaiian flowy looking thing, very cheche vibes. Oh that's nice, it's fine. But it was a big thing. Like in our town, we we would go prom dress shopping and you'd write down when you purchased your dress, you'd write

down your name the school you're going to. So that way they made sure there were no doubles, so like people wouldn't be wearing the same show up in the same dress.

Speaker 2

Smart.

Speaker 1

It is smart.

Speaker 2

That only happens because you've had some parents marching in there, streaming at them.

Speaker 1

Because it's like a dance mom One too many times must have happened, and they're like, okay, we got to come up with the system exactly.

Speaker 2

We didn't even have from him. I went to like some weird high school that was only junior and senior year, and so we got them to throw us a like sort of prom. It was a formal, but it was as close as we could get. And hmm, yeah that was it. And I looked insane. I really thought I was dressing I was wearing all these things I got from my Goodwill. Well, I really really thought I was cool.

Speaker 1

Goodell, There's no I mean Goodwill is cool now, It's just it wasn't cool in high school.

Speaker 2

I think Goodwill could have always been cool if you had a good sense of style and c.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I understand, I understand.

Speaker 2

Yeah, mine was off.

Speaker 1

You know what. Everybody blooms into verty times, Kevin, I'm still waiting. So Quinn is is in physical therapy. We see in physical therapy with Joe and she is almost walking. This is a miracle. It has been three episodes. She is almost walking, but she can walk, and she's pretending for the sympathy vote, which is bad.

Speaker 2

Well, I will say it is a big leap from walking once in physical therapy and like just learning to stand again and then being like, oh she can walk, this is this is messed up? Well no, she is just standing standing like she's just starting.

Speaker 1

Fair.

Speaker 2

So calm down, Finn, calm down. You can't.

Speaker 1

We can't hate Quinn all that much, you know, we can't hate on her that much. But she'll do something right at the end, anyway, She'll she'll she'll remedy the situation.

Speaker 2

She always does.

Speaker 1

Do you want to talk about prom. You want to talk about anti prom, Let's talk about anti prom. Okay, So obviously Rachel is and a tailspin. Then their audition bombed. Finn's campaigning with Quinn nightmare and she's feeling down. Try to take Becky down with her did not work, and she decides, because you know, Blaine's upset with it, anti

hair gel, I'm going to throw an anti prom. All the characters' reactions to this gold like, how dare you make this about yourself because you didn't get your way Now you're trying to mess up our night too, Santana saying it like it is.

Speaker 2

It was very nigh. It was very like, thank you for actually speaking up and saying what's actually happening here? How many times in our lives did she do that often? Often? And she wasn't afraid to get in trouble for it?

Speaker 1

Oh no, No, she just loved to stand up for the team.

Speaker 2

Yeah, and it felt like that. This felt loaded like it did.

Speaker 1

So they're going to do an anti prom in a hotel. They got a hold tell and they invited everybody, and Santana speaks for mine. But Becky's going to go obviously because she's angry. Puck is going to go because he's having an existential crisis and curtain Blaine, I guess are going to go.

Speaker 2

I just feel like we're not getting enough of Puck's reaction to things happening to him. There's this this is a really nice moment, like he and Becky have this great moment there, but it's like he failed and he's not getting out of high school, and we.

Speaker 1

Just are sort of like he's going to wait to the next episode heaven, Oh right, right, but it's been episodes. Yeah, I get it, I get it.

Speaker 2

It was like the final moment of that episode, like failing.

Speaker 1

No, you're right, and we just skip over.

Speaker 2

Yeah, yes, I know it's coming up. And I really love Puck and Becky together. It was just a really as him in the underwear. It was insane, but it was a sweet thing. And I think this episode is coming to a head and everybody is doing like the morally good thing, which is nice to see. And Finn obviously gets upset when he finds out and catches Quinn standing in the bathroom, right, and so he storms out and he's like, I can't do this, and he goes to the anti Prom.

Speaker 1

Rachel's magically and her.

Speaker 2

Rachel is in full golden globes giche.

Speaker 1

Like, well, they use the excuse that Rachel's going to they're they're doing their prom prom dress try on fashion show for the anti prom.

Speaker 2

But I'm sorry that John the god. The dress phenomenal. She was Oscar level like it's like one of these things is not like the others in this episode and like everybody else's a normal ear. Dress was actually also like fashion. It was great, it was short, it was really loved. We loved that dress. But it was just even when they cut to her later on at the actual problem when she shows up, yes, and it's like, damn, I know, I'm like, that is her.

Speaker 4

On a red carpet, yes, long like done, like that is not a seventeen year old and it's somebody who did their own hair makeup in the hotel.

Speaker 1

In about ten minutes. So Ifin and Rachel go to prom, they decide they're going to go. Kis then says, look, there's no nothing, no problem without you. You're his promise crap. So they go to the prom together, Becky and Puck. He crowns Becky anti prom queen h very so happy, so cute and happy. I know, I really like that storyline. And then we're We're from Owen. Curtin and Blaine also join, and Blaine shows up as Darren with no hair gel.

Speaker 2

I really did love the moment of Puck and Becky walking in and Sue being so happy, and Becky having that moment where she breaks breaks rank with Sue and distracts her so Puck can spike the punch and then he doesn't put one for himself, he just pours for her and Sue putting on those glasses and just looking aways like just greade a high school Shenanigans.

Speaker 1

We love that the punch making its a return to prom as well.

Speaker 2

I mean, Sue getting mad at you because she thinks and she hates your trends.

Speaker 1

She's spiking the I'm spiking the juice, and she hates my dress, just hating Auntina. Don't worry. Next episode, she's coming before everybody. Yeah, we're it Prom. And the thing I remember the most about Prom was Heather's dinosaur ance. Absolutely first I thought, my first thought was, oh my god, look at Heather. She's pebbles from oh yeah, from Flintstones. Then I thought, oh my god, she's barefoot, and then I thought, oh my god, this is the best dance ever.

Those dinosaur heads though too with all of our friend answers.

Speaker 2

Was crazy, I mean, but it's so much fun to watch. Like the crazier thing they have to do the better. I don't think I knew about that.

Speaker 1

So when they showed up a problem doing that, I was like, wows, this is.

Speaker 2

How did you feel about? So when Mercedes and Sam are dancing on the dance floor, Mercedes sees her ex dancing with the one and only Brittany by Parks, who eventually becomes one of the assistant choreographers and has tour with us as a dancer.

Speaker 1

One of our great friends.

Speaker 2

Yes, like one of our very best friends. It was just the most talented. And there she is, there she is speaking to him. Oh god, I love her so much.

Speaker 1

I love her so much. I was at my six am workout the other day and who taps me on my back, my shoulder. It was Brittany Park.

Speaker 2

We went dump together. How was it working out with her?

Speaker 1

It was great.

Speaker 2

She could be scared because she's like, you need to.

Speaker 1

Be scared a beast. No, I'd be scared to tap dance or dance next to her working on next to her. I'm not scared, that's true. Tap dancing, Yeah, I'm scared.

Speaker 2

I went and saw her show in New York in the fall that was at City Center, yep, and it was a Save On Glover and every night was improvised like where her role was. It was like her and two other people just they played like save On, sort of like shadow, and so he would improvise what he was doing and they just had to go with it.

Speaker 1

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2

And it was unreal. That's how good Britney Parks.

Speaker 1

I took tap lance and listens with her and it was humbling. No, it's more than it's more than humbling.

Speaker 2

She's taught dance classes for us, like for fun. They're amazing, but we've had everyone's humbled every time.

Speaker 1

Every time, especially with tap, I would look like a tiny dinosaur. I actually look becaus I under shore dancing tap dancing.

Speaker 2

See it's not swamp hands, it is rex hands.

Speaker 1

I could have been in that number as a dinosaur because that's how my hands rest all the time. That's just comfortable for me.

Speaker 2

There's a lot of good musical numbers. How I loved love You like a love song because also it gave me my this is Nia Rivera as a pop star, like this could be her.

Speaker 1

Song my foight she sounded so good.

Speaker 2

And I love watching you guys dance with her.

Speaker 1

That dance came back like I knew that forever h I was dancing that with While I was watching, I was like, why do I not? I love doing that number? That was really fun.

Speaker 2

Performing at the proms was so much easy and fun. Yes, yes, I don't know why.

Speaker 1

It felt like there was not a lot of steady cam on those numbers or like it wasn't like shooting a regular musical number because you're watching it from the stage, right, You're like kind of from the view of the prom versus like it being an immersive experience for the viewer.

So it was a much easier shoot. And also the problem songs were always really fun, and I think stults because he was doing them, was also really good about You're showing a lot of other activity going on, exactly a lot of cutaways, and it also just feels very real, like you're just in the action seeing it from wherever. That's right, he wasn't overshooting it. We skipped over Big Girls Don't Cry, which we opened with as well, and Big Girls Don't Cry reminded me a little bit of Breakaway.

Did you get that vibe a little bit? Yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 2

It also just felt really it came on and it was a little jarring ye to me, yes, but also just really funny because it is jarring. Yeah, and that's funny and like Rachel get it together.

Speaker 1

Girl, Yeah, yeah, totally totally. And then what makes You Beautiful, which I'm so excited that we did that song. I would like some more boy band songs, yes please.

Speaker 2

It has such a good time. Also, I love like your guys's reaction whenever we did pop like boy band type numbers because you all lost it.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I felt like I was a Beatles fan again.

Speaker 2

It was so much fun. Well again, not again, but and I just wanted to say I think Samuel Larson sounds incredible amazing on the song because I didn't remember if I sang on the song, and then the hook comes in and I started, I was like, my voice sounds high, and then halfway to the hook it switched to Samuel. I'm like, ah, there, it is a great I might give this to him. He has the range, but I'm really the boy band boy. But I loved him on this type of music.

Speaker 1

Yes, it's very complimentary for him. I like it a lot.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

For some reason, my brain must have forgotten about Dancing Queen, which we did last season. Ye fair, but I thought they were gonna do it again, to do it again? Why not?

Speaker 2

I'm not mad at having a recurring number every year. I guess that's don't stop believing, isn't it?

Speaker 1

But right exactly? But taking my breathway is funny. It's a very eighties like John Hughes. Again, I was a fan, and the surprise of everybody like looking and seeing like Quinn's stand up was also kind of gampy and funny, but it was. Yeah, it was cute And this is our you guys. This is the last problem with the original ogs, like all everybody together.

Speaker 2

And because it's that Quinn wants to do something nice because also so Santana and Quinn are signed to telling the votes even though they make up two thirds of who's nominated, so random for Queen. Yeah, and it's a really nice scene between Quinn and Santana and Quinn wins realizes it actually doesn't mean anything to her. What I thought was funny is Quinn being like Santana. We've had the ideal high school careers, and it's like, have you, Quinn?

Speaker 1

Have you right?

Speaker 2

No one since someone on a soap opera has been through as much as you, like Quinn could have been in one life to live for General's Hospital and been a normal character.

Speaker 1

It's true, she said the hardest one. She had a baby, she had a wheelchair, She's tried to steal a baby.

Speaker 2

She started smoking on the bleachers and cut her hair off and dyed it pink, like you've lived a thousand lives.

Speaker 1

She has. But you know, I'm glad that she has that perspective and magically got into Yale as well.

Speaker 2

She really can't do it all. Women can do it all.

Speaker 1

She they do it, They do it all. Well, Quinn does it so much as she decides to give away prom Queen, and they decide.

Speaker 2

To Figin's response. So Finn wins prom king and then Fagin's opens the envelope and calls Kurt up and he's nervous because he's gonna you know, crown whoever wins, and he's like and for a second year in a row. It's like the riding candidate has overwhelmingly won.

Speaker 1

Rachel fing Berry, this doesn't shit right with me. She was shocked. Shocked, yes, she was like.

Speaker 2

And then she and Finn have their dance and Finn's like, you deserve this, you earn this.

Speaker 1

I mean, I guess, like I don't know, I was gonna say, like after choking, you know, at her audition, but like, I don't know, she's still gonna She's gonna be fine.

Speaker 2

It was nice and her like reaction was great. Yeah, and it made a really nice sweet moment with her and Finn.

Speaker 1

Right, and they're bringing it together because their their time is almost done and at McKinley, so I guess we've got to give it, got to give it to the people. Finchell is still going strong.

Speaker 2

Yeah, And I love how like Quinn's form of giving back and doing something good is to just like help out one of her friends.

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure, like you, there's other people.

Speaker 1

I also love that she's like this is some kind of joke or something. I mean, like Kurt, like Kurt last year, is someone gonna throw pig's blood on me next? Like Carrie, and I'm like, just you wait, bitch, just you wait. Peter Cohen Chang's going to get chat on, so don't worry at her problem. Oh that's the next problem, is it?

Speaker 4

What?

Speaker 2

Oh my god, Jenna, Yeah, I'm very excited for that. There's a little observation here, like an extra I think fun fact, yeah, or easter egg that our producer Sam noticed that Leah's nails are different in every single scene.

Speaker 1

I noticed that. I didn't notice that he did. Uh huh. Sometimes they are like long, and I wonder if it was because she was like planning to shoot for prom that day that she was like, oh, I'll just do the scene like this. But they were very different. Yeah, very different. They made me want to get my mails done though, to be very honest, they like they look good.

Speaker 2

It's hard to plan for those things at this point too. I'm imagining we're shooting a couple episodes at the same time.

Speaker 1

Totally. Maybe maybe it depends on Xi gets the job done.

Speaker 2

That's true.

Speaker 1

Okay, let's create the performances. Oh, okay, big girls don't cry b b b mm hmm dinosaur.

Speaker 2

It was like a really good It did feel very eighties John Hughes like classic awkward, weird high school.

Speaker 1

What was that one in romy Michelle's.

Speaker 2

Oh was it?

Speaker 1

Maybe?

Speaker 2

Maybe that's why I'm thinking that I feel like high It looks like it. Maybe how Quinn's dressed something about it?

Speaker 1

Yes, agreed. Also, by the way, my brother texted me that the girls are now old enough. My nieces were not old enough. Well, my second niece is only wasn't born when Glee was out. Now they are older, and they are they have Glee dance parties after dinner every single night, and they're listening to like all the songs. My brother's doing all the like the appropriate ones and

lots of Dan Jenna and stuff. And so he was texting me the night that they were listening to prod Mary and He's like this Corey line at the beginning that was so straight, so awkward. But they are in their little sofa chairs like doing the choreography, and he's like, you guys have to like tone it down. When Jenna coin, that's so cute. And David's like, do you want to give them a show when you get there because you're going to visits you And I said, well, I'm too expensive for that.

Speaker 2

Wow, Jenna, times would be tough. If you're trying to charge your nieces.

Speaker 1

Speaker 2

Oh, I'll do it for three M and m's.
