October 16, 2022 01:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBRose takes up painting and obviously, she can't paint a horse from memory, so asks someone to accompany her to the racetrack. Blanche, despite having a pass to the jockey's lounge, can't make it--largely because she's working her new boss Donald for 12 hours a week at the museum--so Dorothy hesitantly agrees to go. Unfortunately, one good day of picking winners reignites a vicious gambling problem that almost cost Dorothy everything years earlier.

Meanwhile, Magda butts heads with all of the other Girls, but most strongly with Dorothy, on the merits of communism vs. capitalism. One thing we can all agree on is that sex sell and slurpees rule...
Episode 122: You're Kidding, Buzz is Here Too?!
September 18, 2022 01:00 - 28 minutes - 26.8 MBBuzz Mueller, Rose's 'one that got away' is in town! The snappy-dressing showman sweeps Rose off her feet and wants to bring her on tour with his band.

Meanwhile, Sophia is hanging out with the wrong crowd and Dorothy firmly objects after a night that starts with Blanche's friend Mr. Big and ends with Schlomo. Sophia moves in with a senile art collector for a bit until everyth...

Episode 121: It's Time to Get Real, Grandma
September 04, 2022 01:00 - 52 minutes - 48.2 MBIn this frequently-referenced and celebrated episode, Rose learns she may have contracted HIV through a blood transfusion years ago. Our main focus is the the 72 hours, hence the title, between getting tested and receiving the results. This is an incredibly powerful episode even today but especially at the time it aired. There is a throughline of de-stigmatizing HIV/AIDS and a poignant scene where Blanche directly addresses Rose and America at-large with the simple truth that AIDS is not a b...
Episode 120: So Good Enough Wicker Named It Part 2! An Illegitimate Concern
August 28, 2022 01:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBBarrett and Kay from So Good We Named It are here to help us cut those ribbons at Piggly Wiggly! Yes, it's another Hurricane Saturday, as the four of us discuss episode 120 of the Golden Girls, An Illegitimate Concern. David shows up out of nowhere and borderline stalks Blanche, who at first (naturally) finds it flattering, but then is hit harder with reality than Rose is with the Metro Section when David reveals he's Geroge's son. Meanwhile, Sophia and Dorothy make lovely first runners-up a...

August 21, 2022 01:00 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MBBlanche has to get a pacemaker put in and is overwhelmed with the fear and anxiety that comes with that.

August 14, 2022 01:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBSophia's memories are fading and so she and Dorothy make a trip up to Brooklyn, where, thanks to a pretty rude version of Sal's ghost and a few sentimental visuals, it all (kind of) comes back.

Episode 117: Mail call! Me, Me, Me, Me, Me

This three-plot episode has a ton of great lines and doesn't require too much analysis.

July 31, 2022 01:00 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBRose signs up for a positive thinking group where the leader won't even tell her she's special. Dorothy buys it for a minute, but a good order of lunch meat and a few days later, she and Melanie Griffith are off it. Meanwhile, Blanche goes back and forth with a new flame but is scared out of making a real commitment when he runs into a health issue and plunges into a bit of self-referential deep thinking herself.

July 24, 2022 01:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBMary, who we've never seen before and never will again, shows up on the Girls' doorstep k-nocked up and svingle. Apparently, she's known them all her life, as they were all very close with her late mother. Fine. Dorothy is able to impart some experience-based wisdom on both Mary and her estranged father, using a St. Olaf story in a moment of desperation. Meanwhile, the fire of Blanche's loins shows up unexpectedly and the girls learn he hasn't, in fact, paid his debt to society.

Episode 113: A Period or State of Decline
July 10, 2022 01:00 - 32 minutes - 30.2 MBBig Daddy, Blanche's beloved--if wildly problematic--father has died.

In the two-part season premiere, we find Dorothy, an otherwise healthy woman whose only medical woes were once digesting raw vegetables and a cracking jaw, feeling exhausted, sick, and frustrated that no doctor seems to believe she has a real, medical problem. This storyline represents Susan Harris, the creator of The Golden Girls, and her own struggle to get doctors to believe her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was not a 100% tiptop mental problem. Meanwhile, Bl...
Episodes 101 & 102: Another Clip Show ft. Wally's Sexual Proclivities
May 01, 2022 01:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBIn a less-than-thrilling send-off to an excellent Season 4, Mr. Yakamora, a wanna-be real estate mogul (played by the late, great Ralph Ahn), makes a wildly high offer on Blanche's house. The Girls contemplate the realities of moving, Rose and Sophia most fearful, and reminisce about their musical escapades, the relatives that have stayed with them, and more. It's a decent slip show with a pretty bizarre ending that neatly wraps up the 4th season.
Episode 100: Middle Aged Bambinas & Dirty Dancin'

Episode 99: Charlie Horse!
April 10, 2022 01:00 - 32 minutes - 23.5 MBOh boy, a whole episode about body negativity and dieting, wahoo! We kid, we kid. But in this one, the Girls are all dealing with their weight and appearance; Sophia is hellbent on gaining a pound to get back to her ideal weight while the rest of the crew tries working out and new hairstyling in order to look their best for an annual summer party. A classic clip show where, even in their desperation, the Girls can't be convinced to join Stanley's self-help pyramid scheme club.
Episode 98: We Are The World
April 03, 2022 01:00 - 36 minutes - 27.8 MBIn this one, Sophia busts her friend Lilian out of Sunny Pastures, a rundown nursing home struggling in the age of Reagan-era cuts.

In this one, Holly, Rose's flute-playing, philandering, annoying AF little sister comes to Miami and charms Blanche and Dorothy right away.

Episode 96: Perfect Pizza with Pizzazz & a Pill Problem
March 20, 2022 01:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBIn a heavier A-story that is all too timely, Rose confronts an addiction to pills. She reveals her doctor prescribed painkillers for an old farm injury decades ago, and she's been taking them daily ever since. The Girls rally together to help her address the problem and thankfully, come out of a 30-day treatment program as the same ol' Rose. Meanwhile, Sophia and Dorothy are cast in a commercial for a local pizza place, but it doesn't exactly work out.
Episode 95: Welcome to the Dorothy Killed Trudy Party
March 13, 2022 02:00 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MBAnd she's a teacher too! Dorothy's high school best friend Trudy McMahon comes to Miami for their high school reunion and brings along her handsome husband Jack, a pair of new A+ breasts, and a drive for competition. Dorothy literally kills Trudy on the tennis court, or so we think, and then wants to spend the entire evening of her reunion screwing around in the bedroom when there are important things to do outside. This is a laugh-out-loud episode with a plot that makes no sense, and that...
Episode 94: Kid Pepe Later Went On to Have a Very Successful Career in Consumer Reporting
March 06, 2022 02:00 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBRose makes the mistake of trusting Sophia with a large sum of money the Girls intend to use for a joint CD account, and rather than buying a handful of magic beans or completing the task, Sophia brings home a prizefighter. Apparently, some kind of transaction goes down at a bus stop, and bim bam boom, the Girls are now responsible for training and housing this young fighter who, as is later revealed, is also a multi-talented artist.
Episode 93: We're The Laughing Stock of The Ladies Auxiliary
February 27, 2022 02:00 - 30 minutes - 28.6 MBDorothy is in charge of finding talent for an upcoming variety show and recruits Rose, Blanche, and Sophia to help. The Donatello Triplets prove to be worthy headliners, even if the one juggling Sklarkievich Brother leaves a bit to be desired, but the major gap to fill is that they need an MC. Rose, leaning heavily on a parasocial relationship she built with Bob Hope, tells the girls not to sweat it, as she'll just make a quick call to her birth father and their problems will be solved. Ther...
Episode 92: 1000 Points of Light
February 20, 2022 02:00 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBChalk it all up to synergism. In this one, Dorothy and Sophia are shaken up by the rate at which Sophia's friends are dying. Dorothy's response is to book a suite at Disney World and look at old photos, rather than ride the rides (or, thankfully, to have Sophia seized by Shady Pines staff on the tarmac). Sophia, meanwhile, wants to leave Memory Lane for Space Mountain. At home, Blanche, who apparently has a talent for drawing, and Rose work on a children's book about Toonder the Mediocre Tig...

In this one, Rose is seeing a man named Ernie, a corporate attorney who does not have a drinking problem, and everything is going well until he reveals that he is impotent (bon appetit). After a romantic getaway fails, a steamy exchange over dinner finally does the trick. Meanwhile, Sophia receives a feather in the mail and must avenge her scarec...
Episode 88: Music Lovers for the Win
January 23, 2022 02:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBIn this episode, Blanche meets a charming, handsome man who knows the ins and outs of high society food pairings. It should be perfect, but John is blind, and so Blanche, who derives most of her self-worth from her looks, is left wondering what he could possibly like about her. Meanwhile, Rose and Dorothy (and eventually Sophia) coach a peewee football team where all the boys are named Victor. The Coaching Lessons of the Golden Girls Golden Girls Sports Podcast
Episode 87: We Will Waste 22 Minutes of Your Time
January 16, 2022 02:00 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MBIs that an original DeKimmel!? In this one, the roof is leaking and rather than shell out the dough like any normal landlord, Blanche is focused on preserving a towel that never contained baby Skippy. While trying to come up with the cash for a new roof, the girls hear that Jasper DeKimmel, a cranky-but-talented artist is nearing the end of his life, so naturally, they divert their funds and buy one of his pieces at an auction.
Episode 86: Stan Yells at Some Hospital Staff
January 09, 2022 02:00 - 37 minutes - 35.2 MBWe open this episode by paying tribute to our dearly departed Betty White, who entertained millions with her command of comedy and inspired just as many with her commitment to kindness. Thank you for being a friend, Betty <3.

Meanwhile, Sophia disobeys the doctor's orders and ends up in the hospital; Dorothy leans on Stan, who is ...

December 26, 2021 02:00 - 20 minutes - 19 MBWhat the hell is this, The Waltons?! In the first Christmas episode of the series, the girls do quite a lot. Blanche tries to bong a mall Santa and gets caught, Rose offers counseling to her clients right in front of the waiting room, a would-be armed robber takes Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose hostage until Sophia saves the day, and after their flights are grounded, our favorite ladies spend Christmas Eve watching a diner, while the owner spends less than an hour with his family.

Episode 84: Three Palm Trees & A Real Downer of an Episode
December 12, 2021 02:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MBWe revisit Brother, Can You Spare that Jacket, in which each of the girls has their own personal reckoning with the state of things in America. After a brief bit of riding high on a winning lotto ticket, Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia, and Rose trounce all over Miami to find the ticket after it is mistakenly given away. There's a celebrity auction, a do-nothing councilman, and a mixup of Michael J. Fox and Michael Jackson, but all in all this is a pretty heavy episode that handles important subjec...

December 05, 2021 02:00 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MBSophia's getting married, Rose and Blanche are establishing a Miami-based chapter of the Hunka Hunka Burnin Love Fanclub, Dorothy is smoking, and somehow the caterer is still the star! We talk about Sophia's Wedding Parts 1 & 2, which for us, represents a very specific era in The Golden Girls. This one has a ton of funny moments and reveals something deep about the addictive Petrillo genes. We also think when you're in your 80s, if you wanna get married or just find a long-distance hook-up b...
Episode 81: The Power of Stan Compels Sophia
November 28, 2021 02:00 - 24 minutes - 23.1 MBDorothy is battling Stan for Sophia's soul and Blanche & Rose are up all night howlin. In the nosebleed seats of a baseball game, Sophia gets whacked on the head with a ball.

Meanwhile, Rose and Blanche are cast in Cats in the community theater and wholly immerse themselves in the character.
Episode 80: Never Go to Beaver Falls
November 21, 2021 02:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBRose is up for St. Olaf's Woman of the Year! OOOFDAH! There's only one problem, Blanche and Dorothy are back to their Issac Q. Newton/rez-ume ways and they've stretched the truth a bit on her application. Mighty flood, etc. Meanwhile, the AC is out and the girls struggle to keep cool. All in all, this one is incredibly goofy, there's a bunch of funny lines, and it's a pretty revealing picture of Rose's naive all-American nature.
Episode 79: Turns Out Virginia WAS the Slut
November 14, 2021 02:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBRose and Dorothy assume the roles of Mulder and Scully after seeing what appears to be a UFO. Meanwhile, Blanche attempts a conquest for Ham Lushbough, the one man--the one--who has ever rejected her advances. The UFO story is A++, especially considering Dorothy's natural skepticism and Rose's naive assumption that the extraterrestrials are here to help us earthlings. The Ham story is a little tough to get through and rife with body-shamey jokes, but the conclusion that his lousy night of se...

For more on this episode and the show's relationshi...
