Gleeboot Finale Part One: 2009 and Dreams Come True

12/29/2022
Gleeboot, Season 6 Episodes 12 & 13 - “2009” and "Dreams Come True” We finished Glee! This is the first Part of our three part Finale. We take the boyfriend/character quizzes and learn about ourselves. We feel emotional over Finn, get concerned by some of the racial implications, and find the finale a little underwhelming though we are charmed by Becky’s new job and Blaine and Kurt’s number as professional homosexuals.

We Built This Glee Club with Tricia Lee

12/16/2022
Gleeboot, Season 6 Episode 11 - “We Built This Glee Club” The season 6 story comes to an end! This week, we brainstorm an interactive, role-playing Glee experience and a series of Glee video games, scream at the long awaited return of the erotic Jonathan Groff, and break down the insane peak of the series-long Will-Sue conflict. Cullen channels his inner-Hannah to critique Glee’s illogical choices, Hannah recovers from whiplash, and Allyssa cringes at the feeling of nostalgia. Big thanks to Tricia (@triciajlee) for being our final guest of the podcast and calling the show out for giving the titular song to the opposing glee club! VOTE in the Gleekies!

Gleeboot Holiday Special - Falling for Christmas

12/5/2022
Gleeboot Holiday Special - “Falling for Christmas” This week we have so much fun talking Christmas, Chord Overstreet, and chaotic wishes. Cullen and Hannah loved Falling For Christmas, Lindsay Lohan’s return to acting. Allyssa’s not a fan of the genre, but we all had a good time despite screaming about Netflix Christmas movie genre conventions. Please vote in the Gleekies! Follow Gleeboot on social media!

The Rise and Fall of Sue Sylvester with Bee of Glee on the Rocks

11/30/2022
Gleeboot, Season 6 Episode 10 - “The Rise and Fall of Sue Sylvester” This week on Gleeboot, Sue has rose, Sue has fallen, Sue will scheme again. Sue finally gets her comeuppance and Cullen is so happy. Hannah explodes about the Warblers commuting over three hours a day to go to a school with an active caning policy. We all remember a day when Fox News pretending to be fair and balanced was real. Allyssa points out that you wouldn’t feel a tiny baby teeth prick while giving birth and we are joined by Bee of Glee on the Rocks who points out that Fox News listeners would root for Sue to have sex all over Rachel’s apartment. Thank you Bee, we needed your invaluable support as we mentally confronted the crimes (mainly child abuse) of Sue Sylvester, who Will supported.

Child Star with Katie Little

11/24/2022
Gleeboot, Season 6 Episode 9 - “Child Star” FINALLY, we can introduce you to the guest who gave us Cullen’s favorite line: “Why is Mike Chang simping for Rachel?” We’re so happy to have Katie Little on the podcast whom the Zoom gods forced us to cut from the season 3 episode Props! This week, we’re blessed/cursed with a whole season’s worth of character development for the season 6 newbies in a single episode. We cringe at the love triangle between male cheerleader, his twin sister, and Jane, gawk at the fact that the show introduces two new characters for the final three episodes of the season 6 story, and sigh like Cullen’s dad during a liberal Catholic mass at the weight loss storyline between Spencer and Roderick.

A Wedding with Gleek of the Week

11/15/2022
Gleeboot, Season 6 Episode 8 - “A Wedding” This week on Gleeboot, we talk about the double wedding of the century with Andrew and Allison from Gleek of the Week! We cringe at yet another storyline that humiliates Tina, debate how to correctly do a sapphic wedding dress try-on montage, and dread turning 30 because that means it’s all over for us romantically, according to Glee. But we may never know the answer to the age-old question, “Did Sue bring Kurt and Blaine to the room?” You can check out Gleek of the Week on Instagram and TikTok at @gleekoftheweekpod and on Twitter @gotwpod!

Transitioning with Nick Bennett

11/9/2022
Gleeboot, Season 6 Episode 7 - “Transitioning” This week on Gleeboot, Nick Bennet returns to talk about an episode that equates a gender affirmation to leaving your childhood home. But hey it’s actually a good episode in some ways and Unique is back. But Will does sing Same Love and we still haven’t recovered. Also Clint sucks. Follow Gleeboot on social media!

What the World Needs Now with Glee Aggressive

10/31/2022
Gleeboot, Season 6 Episode 6 - “What the World Needs Now” This week on Gleeboot, watch the iconic episode ft. Imposter Emma. We team up with Ian and Corrina of @gleeaggessive for this underwhelming Burt Bacharach episode. Brittany has some great moments but we get a real snooze of a Rachel plot where Mercedes exists to support Rachel, Rachel can’t imagine dating someone she didn’t go to High School with, and the current Glee Club students get no attention.

The Hurt Locker Part 2 with Tiktok Possum Girl Elyza Halpern

10/16/2022
This week on Gleeboot, stitched by Howie Mendel Tik-Tok Icon Elyza Halpern (TikTok @possumgirl, IG @Possumgirl_ig, YT Elyza Halpern) provides the most amazing theory of how Sue gets away with her insane bullshit. International Waters. We are all horrified by Sue puppet, Cullen falls in love with Darren Criss again, Allyssa says Sam has Schue vibes in his scene with Spencer, and Hannah tells both Coach Tanaka and Dauphin Louis-Charles of France to rest in f***ing pieces.

Kyle is flabbergasted by Sue’s Klaine/Blurt altar, pretentious bastard Cullen learns that drive-through Italian exists, Allyssa recognizes LA parks in “A Thousand Miles”, and Hannah admits that people in small towns probably have sex with their distant cousins fairly often.

Homecoming with Elissa Tennant

This week on Gleeboot, we’re talking about Rachel finally recruiting current WMHS students for the rebooted glee club, students being allowed to sing at full volume in the school library, and Blaine’s white male savior complex in full swing.

Loser Like Me with Stella Harding

9/19/2022
Gleeboot, Season 6 Episode 1 - “Loser Like Me” We’re back baby!!! We have so many pop culture world events and personal events to catch up on. We are joined for the kickoff of GLEEBOOT’S FINAL SEASON by Cullen’s blood-relative Stella Harding (@stella.harding). We are here to marvel over the parallel with Lea’s fall from grace and the fact that after 5 seasons they’ve decided to develop their protagonist’s character. We enjoy Warbles and find her cover of Let it Go to be a snooze. We’re in the final stretch of this season, wish us luck! Follow Gleeboot on social media!

The Untitled Rachel Berry Project

6/28/2022
Gleeboot, Season 5 Episode 20 - “Untitled Rachel Berry Project” We are so unfocused because there is no guest and because season 5 and this episode was so aimless. We mention Teletubbies, Tangled, Lord of the Rings and Smash multiple times in this episode. We discover that there are Glee books and we are screaming because that means more Glee content. Like Season 5 truly went out with a shrug. So glad it’s over. ALSO trigger warning for SA regarding a scene with Sam and a Photographer. We don’t spend too much time on it but it’s upsetting.
