Advanced Community Studies

The spectre of Ryan Murphy returns to Run The Julias, but this time like a good version. Like in the Wizard of Oz when the good witch shows up, after you've seen the worst the witch community has to offer. TV's Kevin & Kat welcome Han Gottlieb to the pod to discuss the heartbreaking play adaptation The Normal Heart (2014), starring Mark Ruffalo! We technically got this out during Pride! It counts!

The Normal Heart (2014) w/ Han Gottlieb - Run The Julias

Roll out the red carpet because it's time for the First Annual Julia Awards aka The Golden Mystic Pizzas! TV's Kevin & Kat sing and chat before running down the winners of the awards show that celebrates the first year of the hit Run The Julias podcast!

Special guests include past guests of the show and many, many celebrity impressions!

THE FIRST ANNUAL JULIA AWARDS aka The Golden Mystic Pizzas

We're back comma baby!

Didn't realize it had been like three months since our last regular episode. Whoops! In our defense, life is a nightmare all the time!

TV's Kevin & Kat Scott warm back up with one of the Julia hall of famers, 1999's gang reuniter Runaway Bride! They got the band back together on this one. Garry's here. Dicky Gere. Julia, of course. Also, this movie is based on Julia Roberts' real life!

Listen to Jesse's Monday night radio show on Radio Free BK, and join her live at The Shuffle!

Next time: either Wonder or Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. We're figuring it out.

Runaway Bride (1999) w/ Jesse Roth - Run The Julias

The closest thing we got to a new Julia Roberts movie this year was White Bird, a spinoff pre-sequel to Wonder (the movie about the boy with the fucked up face) in which a school bully learns about the true bullies (Nazis). They are a pair of films that will make you go coo-coo bananas. Good luck!!!

Wonder (2017) & White Bird: A Wonder Story (2024) - Run The Julias

Money Monsters, we are all about unreliable narrators and unprotected 1970s sex as we dive on in on George Clooney's directorial debut, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind! Joining us is Tyler McClellan (BOARD GAMES) who knows a thing or two about a thing or two! Good eppy!

Next time: we don't know yet!

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) w/ Tyler McClellan

I apologize: I legit thought I uploaded this on Friday and I straight up did not.

On election night 2024, the brave and beautiful hosts of Run The Julias (TV's Kevin Lanigan & Kat Scott) took their minds off of things for a while by hopping online and talking over the entirety of Smurfs: The Lost Village. Mostly to get it out of the way!

Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) w/ Justin Germeroth - Run The Julias commentary

TV's Kevin & Kat sat down to talk about the 2022 George Clooney/Julia Roberts family romantic comedy Ticket to Paradise but who honestly gives a fuck? Can't imagine the person that is interested in that. This eppy was always a secret Trojan Horse to talk about Wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next time: My Best Friend's Wedding

Ticket To Paradise (2022) (but mostly Wicked (2024))

They said it couldn't be done, but TV's Kevin & Kat have never done the wise thing, or the smart thing. They do ~their own thing~! So for the second NYE in a row, they dove in on the oft-debated Julia career resurgence, My Best Friend's Wedding! To show themselves up from last year, they had TWO GUESTS: the living romcom Emily Lautch and the analytical recordkeeper Jennybeans.

Also discussed: a behind-the-scenes featurette and My Best Friend's Wedding: The Musical!

Next time: something!

TV's Kevin & Kat kick off the new year with some odds and ends that couldn't be a full eppy unto themselves. They watch Julia's Oscar speech, her "Dreamgirl" music video with Dave Matthews Band, and other odd things!

They also cast off the woes of 2024 and advise what things are #over in 2025!

Valentine's Day (2010) - Run The Julias

Coming October 19th (April 2nd) and every Thursday thereafter is a brand new Community rewatch podcast where we go through the show two at a time.

Advanced Community Studies Teaser

On the inaugural episode of Advanced Community Studies, the study group dives into S1E1 "Pilot" and S1E2 "Spanish 101." On topic discussions: the state of Chevy Chase, what the show gets right early on. Off topic discussions: Star Wars lore changes, Dirty New York Laundry Stew

Next time: Speeches and guided missiles

Community - Pilot & Spanish 101: "Real New York Flavor... in the Bedroom"

CARPE DIEM! Seize! The! Day!

This may be no way to teach accounting, but this is a heck of a blowoff episode of Advanced Community Studies. We dive in deep on the "Netflix Channel," the finale of ALF, and our personal rankings of the Troy & Abed end tags. Also, two episodes of Community.

Patreon: www.patreon.com/tvskevin

Community - Introduction to Film & Social Psychology: "Dissecting the ALF"

After much discussion of the ending of Black Panther, The Greendale Three dive in on "Advanced Criminal Law" and "Football, Feminism, & You." The Human Being is created, and Donald Glover is denied an Emmy.

Also, Just Lunning steps in to talk about his time at Greendale, and TV's Kevin's time at Quibi.

Community - Advanced Criminal Law & Football, Feminism, and You w/ Just Lunning: "The Quibi Mill"

We lost a lot of good men in the Jeff Winger Waifu Wars. No side was satisfied until those representing all other sexual interests for our hero lay dead in the muck. How do YOU think Jeff should boink?? Also, Abed dons the cape and cowl and Vaughn weaponizes the power of ska on a pair of scintillating episodes of Community.

Patreon: www.patreon.com/tvskevin

Community - Introduction to Statistics & Home Economics: "The Winger Waifu Wars"

In the wake of the hostile takeovers of the Office Ladies, the Greendale Three continue on with two kissy kissy episodes. The case of Throuples is made, Kevin argues for the easy way out for Chang and Pierce, and Brittajeff makes more and more sense every day.

Then, artist Victoria Courtney aka Gaelfox walks us through watching Community as it aired, local affiliates ripping if off the air to show the news (Karen!!), and Webster University's Save Greendale petitions.

Community - Romantic Expressionism & Communication Studies w/ Victoria Courtney: "Mario Deep Fake"

With their epic journey through six seasons of Community behind them, the Greendale Three soldier on through their true mission: to talk about every piece of pop culture ever created. From the Witcher to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to selections by you--the listeners--we're hacking away at that mountain of #content week after week.
