Podnose
We've taken The Sitcom Club podcast and adapted it for the US market! Yes, The Sitcom Club USA is here, focusing solely on all aspects in the world of American situation comedy. A monthly show, hosted by George Grimwood and featuring guest appearances from familiar voices of the original UK podcast.
In this festive episode, George is joined by guest Johnny Ellis (co-host of podcasts Are You Movie Mad? and Backstage At The Bluebird) to discuss the first of many Christmas specials of The Office, Season 2's Christmas Party. Topics include spin-offs, the "will they won't they?" factor and character motivation.
In this episode, George and guest Tim Worthington take a deep dive into this Thanksgiving-themed Friends episode, looking into character villainy, sitcom tropes and as to how one-time characters can be exploited - or, if successful, can develop.
