Teachers Talking Tv Podcast

This week we chat about Arrested Development Season 3, Episode 7, with a brief tour into the 2021 NBA Finals. We also talk about why we give money to the already-wealthy, so if you’re already-wealthy, well, you’ve been warned. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the music. 

We begin this episode debating whether problematic television shows (and literature) should be removed from public presence, or made available in spite of their problems. Then we get into the shenanigans of the Bluth family in Season 3, Episode 6. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

This week is a tough one for our crew, as we face the question of what we can and can’t—or should and should not—forgive in comedy that does not age well. But we hope it makes you think, and maybe at least laugh at us as we chat about Arrested Development Season 3, Episode 5. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Welcome to Arrested Development Season 3, Episode 4, where we examine evolving language connotations regarding masculine/feminine slurs, so listen with grace and understanding, please. Bet ya didn’t expect that from a sitcom produced in the early aughts…or did you?

This week we chat about Arrested Development Season 3, Episode 3, Forget-Me-Now. We start to grapple with what is actually okay to laugh at? This show definitely skirts the line of what is appropriate, so fair warning. Stick around for the end when we talk about movies for several minutes, for no real good reason. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music—check out his band Safari Room, on tour now!

We start off celebrating the return to movie theaters, and end with accolades to the producer and editor of this podcast. In between, we chat about Arrested Development Season 3, Episode 2, “For British Eyes Only.” Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Third time is a charm—it took three attempts at recording this episode so we hope you enjoy listening to us chat about Arrested Development Season 3, Episode 1, “The Cabin Show.” Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

The usual intro to our podcast got lost amidst pre-show chatter, but in case you didn't know, this is Teachers Talking TV, and in this holiday episode, we are chatting about Chuck S2E11, "Chuck vs. Santa Claus." The three of us wish you as merry and as happy a season as circumstances allow, and we hope these 45 minutes of pod make you smile.

Happy Thanksgiving! Coming to you via Zoom again to talk about The West Wing, Season 2, Episode 8, “Shibboleth.” We hope it brings you at least one laugh while listening. If we tap into Sorkin-esque idealism, we hope for three laughs.

Surgeries. A pandemic. Recording from three different locations. We are back and hope to find a way to keep going. But we can at least guarantee a Halloween episode for you right here: Community, Season 2, Episode 6, "Epidemiology." Enjoy.

Merry Christmas! Welcome to our holiday episode of Teachers Talking TV. Mr. Stueve chose our episode this time: "A Traveler" from Jordan Peele's "Twilight Zone." We hope you enjoy our chat (especially the lively banter about what is and is not a Christmas movie), and we will be back in your feeds this summer. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

It's another holiday special for you. This Thanksgiving, we chat about Friends, Season 4 Thanksgiving episode, "The One With Chandler In A Box." May your friend and family drama be nonexistent and your pie crusts flaky. Happy Thanksgiving!

Production note: we used a different mic setup, so you might need to turn up the volume a bit more than usual. Happy Halloween! Join Ghoulie Rowse, AE Spooky, and AJ Snickers Bar as we chat about The Office, Season 2 Episode 5, “Halloween.” Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

It’s the last episode of Firefly, and I bet you never thought we’d make it to the end, but here we are. Enjoy our chat of “Objects in Space.” Maybe someday we will watch the movie…apologies for the excess white noise in this episode; we shared recording space with a variety of guests this week. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Come for Ms. Rowse’s rant against “White Christmas” at the beginning, stay for our discussion about Firefly Episode 13, “Heart of Gold.” Content warning: this episode takes place in a brothel, so listen at your own risk. Like what you hear? Then be so kind as to rate us on iTunes, Spotify, LibSyn, wherever! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

Some existential questions bubble up while we discuss Episode 12 of Firefly, “The Message.” Not “The Massage,” no matter what Mr. Reimer tries to tell you. Give us a good rating on iTunes if you enjoy this episode! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

How far behind is Ms. Rowse on editing podcasts? Well, we recorded episode 11 of Firefly, “Trash,” on her birthday. In July. Better late than never? Enjoy our discussion of this show, which sees a return of everyone’s favorite guest character: Saffron. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music. Rate us on iTunes!

Content warning: this episode of Firefly served as fodder for some more serious and adult themes in our discussion, so you may want to not play this around young children. We stray from our typical formula, and instead discuss some of the key issues in this episode, including gay/lesbian relationships, sex discriminiation, marital problems, and torture. Also, Ms. Rowse talks A LOT and for that, she will not apologize.

This week on the pod, we discuss “Ariel,” which is just an honest-to-goodness caper/heist episode. If you like what you hear, give us a rating on iTunes! Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.

“Sometimes a thing gets broke, can’t get fixed.” The question on everyone’s mind is this: Will Mr. Reimer remember how to say Inara’s name? Listen to this episode to find out. It’s a serious episode, this one. Like it? Rate us on iTunes. Special thanks to Alec Koukol for the intro music.
