Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Concert Special
And now it's time to say goodbye. Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode, and for commissioning the lion's share of the show. Thanks also to all of you who have chipped in along the way to ensure that I got to the end. I'm so glad that I got to experience this with you all.…

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E17- I'm In Love
Thank you so much to Megan who commissioned this episode and also commissioned a live watch! I can't believe the story is over (well, it's not over at all, but you know what I mean). This was a deeply satisfying finale and I'm so happy with how everything shook out in the end. I wasn't sure what...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E16- I Have A Date Tonight
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This is the second-to-last episode and the next one is called I'm In Love and I am DYING to find out who Rebecca picks. Because there's a sort of vibe here that the show is leaning towards Greg and really...I just don't want that? I think...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E15- I Need To Find My Frenemy
Thank you to Megan for commissioning this episode! This episode was a lot of fun, and a much-needed regroup with the Girl Gang considering how close we are to the end of the show. It's interesting to see how this show injects zaniness now that Rebecca isn't the main source of dysfunction anymore,...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E14- I'm Finding My Bliss
Thank you to Megan for commissioning this episode! This episode is the one where Rebecca decides to join a community musical theatre review, and she is a little startled to revisit her old favorites and realize how poorly they've aged. I CAN RELATE, REBECCA. Meanwhile, her boys are all doing...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E13- I Have To Get Out
Thank you to Jacqui for commissioning this episode! This episode is the one where Paula is trapped in the hospital while desperate to get out and take the bar exam, and Rebecca is trying to help while also realizing that she needs to start asking herself what she really wants out of life. Thanks...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E12- I Need A Break
Thank you to Megan for commissioning this episode! This is the one where Paula has a very long, drawn-out heart attack, and yet insists on continuing to plug away all day because she's a maniac. Can't relate. Also, Rebecca is faced with the specter of abandonment, and she doesn't cope super well...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E11- I'm Almost Over You
Thank you to Megan for commissioning this episode! When I realized this was going to be a Nathaniel-centric episode I was very unsure how I would feel about it, but it turns out that this was actually a fun episode. I really liked the handling of his expectation that he can DO something to get…

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E10 - I Can Work With You
Thank you to Megan for commissioning this episode! This is the one in which Rebecca and Greg get back together while she's babysitting Daryl's kid. Also, Paula is hosting a totally not-important game night that is certainly not to celebrate an achievement of hers or anything like that. Thanks for...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E09- I Need Some Balance
Thank you to Tegan for commissioning this episode! This episode is when Rebecca decides that she really needs to get some play, but unfortunately runs into some gynecological issues that complicate things. Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Greg run into one another at the gym and become friends. Thanks so...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E08- Not The Person I Used To Be
Thank you to Lauren for commissioning this episode! So unfortunately the live-watch of this episode didn't go as planned, but I can understand why so many of you wanted one. This is the one in which Greg comes back....kind of. He's been recast, and as I learn during the recording, that was mostly...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E07- I Will Help You
Thank you so much to Lauren for commissioning this episode! I talk for a while in this one about the pluses and minuses of letting your characters grow when so much of the comedy is reliant on them all being giant messes. There are any number of ways you can handle that in a script, but I'm not...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E06- I See You
Thank you ever so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! While I wasn't a major fan of the musical number for this episode (Trapped In A Car does, at least, succeed in conveying the feeling of being trapped!) I actually rather liked the overall structure of it. However, I also had some…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E05- I'm So Happy For You
Thank you to Collette for commissioning this episode! This is a fun episode to me, although I will just say here that Owen wasn't really a fan...but what does he know, anyway? This could have gone in a few different directions, and it still might, but the crux of the matter is that Rebecca's...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E04- I'm Making Up For Lost Time
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This is a pretty fun one, because we get a new character (granted, I don't expect to see him again) who really gives us the vibes of Rebecca as youngster? And not just because he stole her diary and is quoting her back to herself the...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E03- I'm On My Own Path
Thank you to Megan for commissioning this episode! I'm really excited about this episode because Rebecca is finally coming to the realization that being a lawyer just does not make her happy. It's a massive change to have followed a prescribed plan of education and career for over a decade…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S04E02- I Am Ashamed
Thanks to Megan for commissioning this episode! This is the first Halloween episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and I guess it must also be the last, but they really did a great job with the themes of fear and being haunted. I really loved this one, and I love "Do The Cringe" because I'll be damned…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Ss04E01- I Want To Be Here
Thank you to Nicole for commissioning this episode! So we're into Season 4 now, and it looks like this is going to be quite a ride. I really appreciate the show's acknowledgement that Rebecca is in an absurdly privileged position within this whole situation, and that for her this is some kind of...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend S03E13- Nathaniel Is Irrelevant
Thank you to Sofia for commissioning this episode! I had no idea this was the season finale episode, and I had quite a shock at the direction this episode took in the end. Damn but this was a real surprise. I am trying to imagine what will happen in the next episode and the next season, and all...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E12- Trent?!
Thank you to Tegan for commissioning this episode! I'm actually delighted to see Trent again, because in a lot of ways he exhibits the same behavior as Rebecca except without the compunctions she had to stay looking a little more sane. Rebecca managed to get away with a lot because of that, but I...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S0311- Nathaniel And I Are Just Friends!
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! So this one has a surprisingly heartstring-tugging ending considering how little investment I really have in Rebecca and Nathaniel together. I guess that's a good sign, in that they've made it adequately compelling just because I care...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E10- Oh, Nathaniel, It's On!
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This episode deals with (kind of) the thing that's been bothering me for a while now about Nathaniel, which is how he was a really fun asshole type at the start of his introduction to the show, but as he became more and more of a…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E09- Nathaniel Gets The Message!
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This was a really fun one for me, as one of my favorite parts of this show is watching side characters that we love getting to know one another better and develop relationships. Getting to see Nathaniel and White Josh become buds and…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E08- Nathaniel Needs My Help!
Thank you very to Tegan for commissioning this episode! Hoo boy, everyone. This was a rough one. I'm only realizing now as I type this up that this episode shows us a return to the title ending in an exclamation point, and I'm pretty concerned that this could mean a return to some of Rebecca's…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E07- Getting Over Jeff
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! Apologies if my sound quality isn't very good on this one! I start off describing some issues connecting with Crowdcast which turned out to be a precursor to the computer meltdown which lost me that Dresden Files episode. Shortly after...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E06- Josh Is Irrelevant.
Thank you to Erica for commissioning this episode! What a great episode this was. Of course it's super satisfying to have Rebeccas FINALLY realize what we've known all along, namely that Josh isn't the actual issue. But even more than that, it's great to watch her be surrounded by friends who are...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E05- I Never Want To See Josh Again.
Thank you to Megan for commissioning this episode and to Julia for commissioning the live watch! This episode is a really tough one, and I'm gonna be honest it's a messy recording. So I hope you're all prepared for me to be messy because it's about to get real sniffly up in this bitch. This…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E040- Josh's Ex-Girlfriend Is Crazy.
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This might be one of the most entertaining episodes of this show so far, despite how fucked up this situation really is. There's a certain satisfaction in seeing Josh squirm because he's really forced her hand to do something drastic to...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E03- Josh Is A Liar.
Thank you. so much to Tegan for commissioning this episode! Oh man this one was a real doozy. I can honestly say that I have no idea what is going to happen in the next one based on the way this one just ended. I am absolutely never going to forgive Rebecca for making Paula second-guess her work,...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E02- To Josh, With Love.
Thank you ever so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad to see that Rebecca is having the same difficulty picking something devastating to do to Josh, because I still keep thinking about it and coming up with nothing. However, I'm NOT glad to see what she decides to do in the...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E01- Josh's Ex-Girlfriend Wants Revenge.
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! I cannot believe that I didn't see it coming that Rebecca would literally run and hide, but it makes total sense and honestly I'm not sure I wouldn't have done the same thing. What's even MORE shocking, though, is that Josh has…
more -
The Magicians, S05E01- Do Something Crazy
Thank you very much to Jessie for commissioning this episode! Well it's been a minute since I finished off Season 4, but honestly it feels like it's been about a week, at most. I'm really excited to be starting the new season, and I'm exciting that we're spending a good amount of time with Julia...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 2 WRAP-UP!
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This was a fun one because it's all focused on what I think is going to happen next season. Megan has a list of questions for me to contemplate, and it turns out that the toughest one to answer is, "What would you do to get back at Josh?"...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E13- Can Josh Take A Leap Of Faith?
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! Wow. That shit went even left-er than I expected. I honestly have no idea what the hell Josh is thinking. Like, how legit is this desire to become a priest? Will he immediately regret what he did, or is he gonna stick to this? And how...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E12- Is Josh Free In 2 Weeks?
Thank you ever so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! We've got a special one here, because Owen was able to join me not just for the live watch, but also the recording! He and I talk about our wedding plans and the absolute insanity of Rebecca trying to not only do all this herself…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E11- Josh Is The Man Of My Dreams, Right?
Thank you to Megan for commissioning this episode! So wow but shit has ALREADY gone off the rails for Rebecca and Josh and they've been engaged about ten minutes? Somehow Nathaniel sees her tits and is just intent on having sex ASAP, and the Santa Ana devil winds are here to make it EXTRA weird.…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E10- Will Scarsdale Like Josh's Shayna Punim?
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! In this installment of the Josh & Rebecca Show, there's a bar mitzvah to go to, and Rebecca is expecting Josh to mock everyone and hate it all...but he doesn't. And just as she begins to have a major breakthrough, Josh proposes. This...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E09- When Do I Get To Spend Time With Josh?
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This episode was full of surprises, and the biggest one is that it's mostly about Rebecca and Josh being disgustingly happy together. I had no idea we were going to turn this corner again, and honestly I see that it's an accurate…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E08- Who Is Josh's Soup Fairy?
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! I want to register my shock that Josh's new relationship is already over, although I'm not sad about it and I really hope that Josh actually suffers a little. Does that make me a bad person? Oh well, we already knew that. Meanwhile,...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E07- Who's The Cool Girl Josh Is Dating?
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode, and for commissioning a live-watch despite the fact that I got it wrong! This episode is one of the few that deals in a situation that I confess I don't have a lot of experience in, and in that sense I had to suspend some disbelief and...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E06- Who Needs Josh When You Have A Girl Group?
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode, and for her patience when my internet went out (YET AGAIN) and I had to finish my recording off the air. This episode was so damn painful to watch. Poor Paula, and then Poor Rebecca. I hate seeing two people I really like fight…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E05- Why Is Josh's Ex-Girlfriend Eating Carbs?
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! Forgive me for being so terribly behind. But this episode brought all my greatest dreams for this show into reality, because now Rebecca and Valencia are friends and I'm just SO HAPPY ABOUT IT. Thanks for listening!
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E04- When Will Josh And His Friend Leave Me Alone?
Thank you so much to Tia for commissioning this episode! So I'm pretty stoked that it looks like this show is evolving into a show about female friendship instead of just a woman who is on the edge and making crazy decisions totally based on the men in her life. I'm extremely interested in this...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E02- When Will Josh See How Cool I Am?
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! OMG this episode is really something. It's becoming clear that Rebecca sees that she isn't getting what she needs from Josh even though she's been trying to convince herself that isn't the case, and the idea doesn't really crystallize…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S02E01-Where Is Josh's Friend?
Thank you again so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This is a hell of a premier episode to the season. I'm so delighted by the turn this has taken, because by no means does sleeping with someone mean that you are together. Now Rebecca is desperately trying to turn the. fact that they...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 1 Wrap-Up
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! So this episode is a little different, because I'm not covering an episode this time around. Instead, due to request, I spend an hour reflecting on what happened in the first season, naming my favorite songs so far, and making predictions...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S01E18- Paula Needs To Get Over Josh
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! I'm totally into this show, as you all know, but that doesn't mean I didn't have my doubts about where things were going RE: Greg and Josh, and I'm pleased to report that my concerns turned out to be spurious, unfounded, and without...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S01E17- Why Is Josh In A Bad Mood?
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! This episode is the second-to-last of the season, and there's a lot that's changed since the first episode! Rebecca is banging the hell out of Greg, for one thing, and Josh is turning down sex with his super-hot girlfriend, for another.…
more -
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S01E16- Josh's Sister Is Getting Married!
Thank you very much to Megan for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad that I got to watch this episode so soon after the previous one, because I was absolutely dying to find out what happened once Rebecca was alone with Josh. Turns out, she sends him on his way, and spends the rest of the...
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S01E15- Josh Has No Idea Where I Am!
Thank you so much to Emery for commissioning this episode! I'm in love with this show, but this episode in particular gives me some high hopes for what's coming up in Rebecca's future. She's on a plane having a therapy session, and while we all saw her sit down beside her therapist, it turns out...
