WELCOME THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls. Along the way, we sprinkle in researched deep dives into something from the episode or The Golden Girls universe!

In Season 2 Episode 26, it's the one we've all been dreading... er... waiting for!!! The gals are all around the outskirts for this episode, but the main storyline here is for the neighbor Renee (what was her name again? RENEE!) and her husband, George. This was supposed to lead to a spin-off with these characters, buuuuuuut I think we're all glad that didn't happen. Nonethelesss - Patrick and Jennifer will hold your hands, and we will all LAUGH our way through it!!!

In Season 2 Episode 24, it's a VERY SPECIAL GUEST STAR ALERT, as a pre-"ER" George Clooney makes an appearance as a young cop staking out the girls' next door neighbors. Shockingly, Blanche doesn't flirt one bit with young George (did she tire of younger men after Dirk?), but sparks fly between Dorothy and Al, the veteran officer. Shenanigans ensue when the ladies get roped into the sting for a dinner party with the neighbors they'll never forget!

Show notes

CHEESECAKES! COME SEE PATRICK ON TOUR!

We're off for the July 4th holiday this week, but wanted to share one of our favorite early episodes - enjoy!

Rose has a new love interest and his name is Dr. Jonathan Newman. She’s been out with him six times in the last three weeks and Blanche and Dorothy are dying to meet him. Shenanigans ensue when Blanche invites Dr. Newman to the house for dinner without asking Rose if it’s okay. When Dr. Newman arrives, he’s… not exactly what Blanche and Dorothy were expecting.

For this week’s deep dive Patrick is telling us all about the groundbreaking play Torch Song Trilogy by Harvey Fierstein. He goes deep on the surprising story of how the show came to be, how it was a major cultural force in changing the perception of gay people, and how the casting of Estelle Getty led to her landing the role of Sophia Petrillo on The Golden Girls.
