Fandom on the Rocks
by Fandom on the Rocks
Fandom on the Rocks is a smart, funny, emotionally invested podcast about television, fandom, ships, chaos, and questionable narrative choices. We recap shows like Glee, 9-1-1, and Teen Wolf with love, skepticism, and an alarming number of notes — digging into character arcs, fandom discourse, slow burns, plot holes, and the canon that almost gets it right. Grab a coffee, pull up a chair. Let’s overthink television together.

Loser Like Me: At What Cost?
We made it to Season 6 of Glee on the Rocks! But at what cost? Our sanity? An official Glee-boot? Apparently Rachel Berry’s Broadway career, Klaine’s engagement, several successful futures, and the entire state of New York. In 6x01 “Loser Like Me,” Glee kicks off its final season by dragging...

-
9-1-1 on the Rocks: 1x09 — “Trapped” Recap: Step Into the Mess
Everyone is trapped this week on 9-1-1: metaphorically, emotionally, and occasionally in a flooded elevator. Bobby gives Buck the advice that might quietly change the trajectory of his life: you can’t always pull someone out of the mess, sometimes you have to step inside with them. And Athena…

9-1-1 on the Rocks: 1x08 — “Karma's a Bitch” Recap: Sorry Bobby, You Have to Live
Karma comes for everyone this week, and apparently she has access to bullets, tanning beds, dump trucks, and one extremely motivated tiger. On 9-1-1, 1x08 "Karma's a Bitch," the universe is balancing its books — sometimes with satisfying absurdity, and sometimes with emotional devastation. This...
-
Glee on the Rocks: 5x20 Recap - “The Untitled Pigeon Project”
Season Five ends the only way Glee knows how: with everyone making enormous life decisions, several timelines that absolutely do not add up, and Rachel Berry apparently deciding that the Broadway dream she has spent five seasons screaming about was actually just a side quest. This is 5x20, "The...
-
9-1-1 on the Rocks: 1x07 — “Full Moon (Creepy AF)” Recap: Bad Moon Rising
The full moon is out over Los Angeles, which apparently means everyone is legally permitted to lose their goddamn minds because what is happening here. 1x07 “Full Moon (Creepy AF)” gives us synchronized yoga labor, a face-eating maybe-zombie, a deeply enthusiastic tapeworm extraction, and…

9-1-1 on the Rocks: 1x06 — “Heartbreaker” Recap: Happy Valentine’s Day, Don’t Choke
Love is in the air in Los Angeles, which naturally means fake plane crashes, emergency tracheotomies, a man superglued back together (yeah, we know), and possibly the most cursed welcome-back cake in workplace history. 1x06 “Heartbreaker” is where 9-1-1 really starts feeling like 9-1-1: wildly...
-
9-1-1 on the Rocks: 1x05 — “Point of Origin” Recap: Dead Dove Do Not Open Bobby’s Backstory
This week, 9-1-1 asks whether we ever truly know the people closest to us and then immediately reveals enough secrets, lies, and catastrophic personal history to make everyone reconsider the question. 1x05 “Point of Origin” finally opens Bobby Nash’s ominous little black book, introduces us to…
more -
9-1-1 on the Rocks: 1x04 — “Worst Day Ever” Recap: The Little Black Book of Horrors
Four episodes in, 9-1-1 crashes a passenger plane into the Pacific, sets the water on fire, traps people inside a sinking fuselage, and casually establishes the blueprint for every enormous disaster the show will throw at us later. But beneath all the spectacle, 1x04 "Worst Day Ever" really is an...
-
9-1-1 on the Rocks: 1x03 — “Next of Kin” Recap: Chimney Meets the Narrative
Content note: This episode includes discussion of suicide and attempted suicide. In 1x03 “Next of Kin,” 9-1-1 takes its first big swing at found family and uses a piece of rebar through Chimney’s skull to get there. Meanwhile, Athena and Michael face the terrifying aftermath of May’s suicide...
-
9-1-1 on the Rocks: 1x02 “Let Go” Recap – Carla Arrives, Buck Unravels
9-1-1 on the Rocks has survived its first shift, and unfortunately, Buck has already acquired significant workplace trauma.

-
Glee on the Rocks: 5x19 - “Old People, Puppies, and Actual Continuity”
This week on Glee on the Rocks, we cover 5x19, “Old Dog, New Tricks,” the Chris Colfer-written detour that somehow works because it’s old people, puppies, and just enough Rachel to keep the season’s chaos limping forward. Rachel tries to rebrand her image after Broadway gossip exposes her Funny...
-
Fandom on the Rocks Bonus Episode #57: Our 9-1-1 Season 10 Wishlist
We are once again asking the 9-1-1 writers’ room to be brave. Be bold. Be intentional. In this Fandom on the Rocks bonus episode, we’re looking ahead to Season 10 of 9-1-1 and laying out our very reasonable, completely measured, not-at-all-unhinged wishlist for what we want from the next season....

We made it to the season finale of Teen Wolf, but will the pack make it out? In 3×24 "The Divine Move," the pack go toe-to-toe (and claw-to-sword) with the Oni, but controlled this time by Void. They're taking every territory on the board — the Sherriff's station, the animal clinic, the hospital…
more -
(S3E23) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - Insatiable
In Teen Wolf 3×23, “Insatiable,” the pack is technically moving forward, but everything that matters is coming undone. There are two Stiles and only one real one, and while our Stiles survives the oni test, the relief barely has time to land. Void Stiles still has Lydia, our Stiles remembers...
-
Glee on the Rocks: 5x15 - "Hate Crimes as a C-Plot"
This week, Glee attempts a Very Serious Episode™ and somehow still makes it mostly about Rachel Berry. In 5x15, “Bash,” Kurt is the victim of a brutal hate crime, Blaine gets the worst phone call imaginable, and Burt Hummel shows up to remind everyone how emotions are supposed to work. Meanwhile,...

In Teen Wolf 3×22, “De-Void,” the pack is still trying to keep Stiles alive while the Oni keep dropping in like it’s a scheduled appointment. Sheriff Stilinski shows up at the loft hoping to save his son, and Void Stiles responds by calmly pressing every single Dad Trauma button he can reach....
-
(S3E21) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - The Fox and the Wolf
Teen Wolf said “What if we combined wartime tragedy, supernatural lore, AND your unprocessed emotions?” and 3x21, "The Fox and the Wolf" was born. This episode is a two-lane highway — half of it is Void!Stiles wreaking absolute havoc in Beacon Hills, and the other half is a 1943 flashback that...

(S3E20) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - Echo House
⚠️ Big content warning: this episode deals with suicide, abusive institutional mental health care, dubious sexual consent, and violence. Please take care of yourself. Stiles checks himself into Eichen House after seeing an MRI that matches his mom’s… and absolutely no one (including us) thinks…

Glee on the Rocks: 5x14 - "Blaine’s Gelmet & Other Crimes Against New York”

-
Glee on the Rocks: 5x13 - "New Directions" All Over Again
The end of an era—or at least it should have been. In Glee 5×13, “New Directions,” the Glee Club is officially over, Sue has won, and McKinley’s choir room gets packed up for good this time. But instead of a graceful farewell to the kids we know and love, we get an episode written like a series...
-
(S3E16) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - Illuminated
Mostly naked Halloween parties? Must be Beacon Hills. In 3×16, “Illuminated,” the power’s out, but the drama is very much on. Special Agent Douchebag (McCall) drags our heroes in for way too many questions, Stiles finds a mysterious extra key, and Kira is running an evidence-lockup heist for her...
-
(S3E15) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - Galvanize
Don't get zapped! In 3×15, "Galvanize," we meet child murderer William Barrow and, somehow, that's not the most disturbing thing about him. After escaping hospital custody via belly-full-of-flies (don't ask), he ends up on a greatest-hits-tour of Beacon Hills, ending up—where else?—but Beacon…
more -
(S3E14) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - More Bad Than Good
So, wait—this isn't the National Geographic channel? In 3×14, "More Bad Than Good," the gang goes coyote hunting! Well, more accurately, they go coyote tracking, before Malia's father accidentally traps a kid (or his coyote daughter) in a bear trap. (Spoiler alert: someone gets caught in a bear...

(S3E12) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - Lunar Eclipse
What happens to werewolves on the lunar eclipse? I hope it makes us stronger. In 3×12, "Lunar Eclipse," Scott, Stiles, and Allison finally discover the location of the Nemeton, which definitely doesn't want to be found. Stiles and Allison, along with Isaac, find and rescue the parents in the...

Glee on the Rocks: 5x12 - "100", Part 1
Buckle up, Gleeks—it’s the 100th episode, which means Glee is throwing everything at the wall to see what sings. Sticks! To see what sticks. This is a no-pun zone (allegedly). We’ve got a chaotic double-feature recap for you because everyone showed up for this one and we talked too long, so…

(S3E5) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - Frayed
Two of our least favorite things — long bus rides and whatever blue filter editors add in post — combine in an episode that isn't nearly as bad as it sounds. In 3×05, "Frayed," all of our favorite werewolves are having a horrible time on their long bus ride to a cross country meet, given their...
