FRIENDS of the Podcast: The One With the East German Laundry Detergent

<p>We're launching our as of yet untitled Friends retrospective and could we be any more excited? Ian and Georgia are here on a Friends Friday to discuss all things Season 1 of the hit 90s sitcom that arguably transcends era.  Stories and plot continuity crashes are aplenty in our first episode as we discuss:</p> <ul><li>The kind of retconning FRIENDS had to do to itself post-pilot to give the audience a longer chase with Ross & Rachel</li> <li>How Ross really had no better shot with Rachel in Season 1 than he does at the end of this episode</li> <li>How this episode may have been one of two shot and released out of order</li> <li>We introduce you to Mimi the Meanie, and we get our first glimpses of Maggie Wheeler as Janice, only, is she Janice?  When is Janice not Janice?</li> <li>The clever design of splitting the FRIENDS up into 3 twosomes</li> <li>We play 'how stupid is too stupid for Joey?'</li> <li>We also play 'how stupid is too stupid for Monica?'</li> <li>We discuss which parts of the episode are the best for water cooler discussion</li> <li>Ian comes up with arguably a better name for the episode</li> </ul> <p>If you want to get in on the discussion, you can over on Twitter @bestfilmeverpod</p> <p>Next up: The One With the Blackout (1.07)</p>
