FRIENDS of the Podcast - The One With Ross’s New Girlfriend

How you doin?  We're back with FRIENDS of the Podcast: our Friends retrospective and could we be any more excited? Ian and Georgia are here on a Central Perk Saturday and moving onto all things Season 2 of the hit 90s cultural juggernaut as we discuss Season 2, Episode 1: The One Where Rachel Finds Out. We're reviewing an episode that's just spit-on-your-neck kick-you-in-the-crotch fantastic (it's an expression), as we discuss:

• There's a lot of talk about humour and taste not transferring across decades as the C plot goes to some places that in a vacuum seem very jarring
• We get the return of a non-beloved character
• The difference between another character being the enemy and being the competition
• We discuss Stuart Hall and his theory regarding encoding and decoding and how it applies to comedy
• We reveal our massive interview that drops as part of next week's episode 
• We discuss which parts of the episode are the best for water cooler discussion

We're so thrilled with our theme music by Baltic House Orchestra.  Catch their stuff over at:
