The show is back and so are your Crazy Ex-GirlFans! Suzanne, Amber and Tonya catch up with each other and then catch up with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend episode 414, "I'm Finding My Bliss."

Who would have guessed that Tim would have the best voice in West Covina? Did he get that epic peach Halloween costume from West Covina's community theater wardrobe department? How is Rebecca going to react when she finds out her bliss may not live in treading the boards? Which offer will Paula accept: the email, or the scroll? Who is cooking at Serrano's pop up? How did Chris get so tall?

Show notes

The final season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is proving that it was worth fighting for. Amber, Tonya and Suzanne bask in the wonder and the worry of The Darkness as they discuss episode 412, "I Need A Break."

Are things really as good as they seem between Rebecca and Greg? Do waterslides also mean backslides? Will we see Dr. Dayuuuumn again? What in the world is going on with Paula? Will Rebecca find a way to get her feet under her again? Will Greg maintain his boundaries? Will Paula finally rest like she did in 1983?

As promised, here are all the visual aids we chatted about in the episode:

Loretta, alerting Amber to the approach of the OG Culotte Walker.

It may be freezing in the midwest but Tonya, Suzanne, and Amber are here with some sizzling hot goss on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's episode, "I'm Almost Over You." Snuggle up and keep warm as we discuss Nathaniel's very own rom-com.

Will Nathaniel finally let go of his desires for Rebecca? How many sweaters can Greg pile on those blazered shoulders? Will Maya find love with Joann? What will Paula do now? Did Leonard every get a steak from Emily Blunt? What sports analogy will George use next?

Show notes

Tonya, Suzanne, and Amber (sort of) are back to discuss Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's episode, "I Can Work With You." Put on your seat belts because, unlike so many past episodes, this one is about sliding forward, not back.

Is Rebecca finally going to figure out her relationship with Hebecca? Will Greg finally tell Rebecca what he keeps wanting to say? Will Paula and Scott win Trial By Fire? Can Josh achieve his dream of influencer? Will sports lead Nathaniel to become nice? (Like, actually nice?) Is Hector going to wind up in the river? Did Guardrail bring the donuts?

CXG409: I Need Some Balance Jan 16, 2019

Show notes

We are starting off Twenty-SHINE-Teen right with the mid-season return of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. So much has happened since we last got together. Tonya has a shoulder sling... Suzanne has bread... and Amber has Loretta...

We also discuss Rachel Bloom's STUNNING look for the Critics' Choice Awards.

But enough about that. We have some burning -- possibly itching -- questions about episode 409, "I Need Some Balance." We double down to discuss:

Is there such as thing as "platonic panties?" Why didn't White Josh stop the slow-moving train collision? When was the last time Greg was at the gym? We know Maya said "NPH" but could it have possibly been ... "NP3?" Is Jason gone forever? Is Paula okay? She walked away from that mediation with a definite limp.

Greg is back, and so is Amber! The trio is back! Suzanne, Amber and Tonya reunite to eat carbs and chat about Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's episode 408, "I'm Not The Person I Used To Be".

How will the pivot to New Greg go? Has Paula replaced Rebecca with Kamela Hare-is? Is Heather now sailing her own ship for Valencia and V's mystery love? How did Hector keep this secret from Josh for so long? Will we every find out why George chose Raven as a stage name? BART, WHERE IS OUR SHERRY?

We answer your questions, award our Giant Pretzels of the week, and give our self-care recommendations for staying healthy and decidedly more Bunch-like.

CXG407: I Will Help You Dec 05, 2018

Show notes

Suzanne and Tonya travel (narratively) to New York and try to adult their way through Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's episode 407, "I Will Help You".

Does Josh really not know how to put on a fitted sheet? How many times did Nathaniel demand his pumpkin patch picture be retaken by his mother? Will Rebecca find a balance between thoughtful disclosures and TMI? What event is Elayne Boosler going to do for V and Beth?

Also, here are pictures of the fake fruit and the Gratitude Tree (named Gertude) Suzanne and Tonya talked about. Ahh, visual references during an audio experience.

Also also, it was Rachel Bloom who shared a sosh meeds picture of her priceless custom menorah.

CXG406: I See You Nov 21, 2018

Show notes

Suzanne, Amber and Tonya are trapped together to chat about an episode they want to be trapped to chat about. We are back with episode 406, "I See You."

Trigger warning: in this week's episode, we discuss the agony of being the only person who changes the water cooler at work. If you are this person -- like Tonya is -- we understand that this may cause painful flashbacks and blinding rage. Feel free to skip.

Here is the Beach Boys album cover art we were discovering, if this brings back any childhood memories for our over-thirties demographic.
