Welcome to Straight 2 L, a podcast about the television series The L Word! In our premiere episode, host Tonya (a lesbian) invites Suzanne and Whitney (two straights) into her home to take a deep dive into the 15-year old show. Why does Suzanne think this show is like Weeds? Why does everyone hate Jenny? Is Shane actually Kristen Stewart? How much of lesbian culture will Tonya have to ultimately explain to the straights throughout this journey? These questions will be answered and more will be discussed about the hairstyles and clothes of the early aughts. Strap in and strap on!

Rachel Bloom

Yup. You read that right. Rachel Bloom. Now that the show has wrapped up, Rachel offered to answer our most burning questions in a bathtub Q&amp;A. No better way to wrap up our podcast than this. Thank you, Rachel, for being fabulous in all the best ways. Thank you to all of the talented creators and contributors to the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend for giving us such an entertaining, heartfelt, generous, bizarre and real piece of art. Thank you to all of our special correspondents -- Shea, Karly, Justin, Cory, and Katie -- who came by to sit around my dining room table and chat about this show, likely for longer than you expected. Thank you,Tonya, for your thoughtfulness, zingers, inception horns, Costco dinners, and therapy sessions. (I really owe you a few co-pays.) Thank you, Amber, for your insight, hours of drive time, handwritten show notes, self care and Loretta. And, finally, thank you to the tens. (Okay, there are a lot more than tens.) I still can't believe that you all listened to us talk for this long and sing this badly and digress this far for this many episodes. Thank you for your thoughts, your questions, your encouragement, your feedback, your insight, and your joy and passion for the television show. We started the show because we wanted to keep fans of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend company. We so enjoyed chatting with you during your commutes, your walks, and your laundry sessions. Spending time with each other and with you was the best self-care experience. We love you, fam! See you soon.  Final recording cohost.

This week, Suzanne and Tonya have the delight of chatting with special guest Allison Shoemaker, television critic at The A.V. Club whose weekly breakdowns of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was required reading. We chat about her experience covering the show during its entire run, her deep dive into the making of the 11 O'Clock number, and why George's/Danny's Turn may be the most satisfying number of the finale concert. (Also, if you didn't catch it, check out Allison's genius CXG/GOT crossover music video. Rachel Bloom is on record as saying it is her favorite Crazy Ex-Girlfriend music video.)

Suzanne, Amber and Tonya gather to reminisce about the magic that is the narrative finale of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, "I'm In Love." How will this chapter in Rebecca's life end?

In case you missed it, here is our pre-finale viewing party in Bucyrus, complete with miniature horses that we can ride away on ... in a cart ... maybe.

CXG417: I'm In Love

Nipsey Hussle, who CXG fans will remember from season 1's "Sexy Getting Ready Song," was tragically killed earlier this week. He was a beacon of art, culture, and commitment to his community. He donated his time, talent and treasure to supporting his local neighborhood in in south Los Angeles. We invite you to consider donating to organizations he supported, such as Vector 90, Too Big to Fail, and Destination Crenshaw. Or, consider donating to an organization supporting STEM education and programming for inner-city youth in your own city or nearest urban area. Suzanne, Amber and Tonya break bread and break down the penultimate episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, "I Have A Date." Where did Paula find that chic chartreuse shirt? Dress Barn? What if love isn't a game? Who bet their rowing machine on the dates? What is George's life worth? Is this really the end? As promised in our episode discussion:  June, getting in trouble and literally facing the corner. (I know the orientation is wrong. After 20 minutes, I gave up. Just turn your device.)  Henry, trying to slide into Suzanne's hosting chair.  We answer your questions, award our Giant Pretzels of the week, and give our self-care recommendations for staying healthy and decidedly more Bunch-like.
