Episode 45: From a Whisper to a Scream

Welcome to another episode of Code Grey(s): Quarantine Edition! We recorded this a week ago and boy howdy has everything gotten so much worse!

Then, we ask ourselves if we would help our partners rob a bank (16:20); how George makes his only good choice so far this season by consulting ERICA HAHN, MD (38:40); can we remain friends with exes?

Episode 44: Staring at the Sun

We're BACK to break down S3E07 of Grey's Anatomy. This week, PATRICE starts us out and we enjoy a TV on the Radio appreciation tangent before a debate on bath-time. Then, we jump into our episode Rounds (10:15); the Alex/Izzie ship sails again -- briefly (18:05); the very tired Working Moms dilemma (26:00); the compelling enigma that is Ellis Grey (31:35); the infantilization of the O'Malley brood (37:25) and Cristina's slow-motion heel turn (45:00). Plus, don't miss our M&M (52:50) with a hearty helping of teardrops!

 

Episode 43: Where the Boys Are

We have a LOT to cover with Episode 7 of Season 3 -- mostly related to weird gender essentialism and unhelpful depictions of trans lives! We start, as always, with our episode Rounds (3:43) plus a discussion of our respective positions on THE GREAT OUTDOORS. Then, we move into Yang's much-deserved poop duty (13:00) and a comprehensive guide to the Monopoly tokens; the unrealistic idea of any of these men camping (23:55); what are we doing with this "manliness" storyline and why do Walter and Joe have to be subjected to toxic heterosexuality in their free time (28:00); unpacking how Grey's tries (and mostly fails) at its first trans storyline (34:50); Addison and Callie -- a ship that never really got its chance to sail (51:25); and this episode's M&M (1:02:40) which features some very comforting words from Kali Rocha's Dr. Sydney Heron.

Wash your hands and see you next week!

Episode 42: Let the Angels Commit

Patrice and Tréza do their best with a tepid episode, beginning with our weekly Rounds (4:20); followed immediately by a Sarah Utterback Appreciation Tangent (come on the show!); our horror at Yang's descent into Mad Queen territory (9:30); how a woman with two uteruses and two baby daddies still can't save this episode from sucking (20:25); the LONG-AWAITED psych consult of a self-sabotaging/self-harming law school hopeful (30:25); and the sudden appearance of MS. HONEY a fierce gay root and, apparently, Derek's sister (38:25). Plus we offer up our M&M (46:30) with a terrifying Medical Fact of the Week (53:35).

Episode 41: Oh, the Guilt

We're back with a discussion of Grey's Anatomy Season 3, Ep 5 -- featuring the show's first real M&M (morbidity and mortalityyyy). We cover that (8:00) and so much more, including: a new mom with breast cancer and the frustrating handling of Bailey's post-baby career (17:20); the physics of a genital piercing getting entangled in an IUD (26:00); a debate on the ethics of radical honesty (30:00); Izzie's mystery guilt and un-deposited $8.7 MILLION DOLLAR check (47:45); the crucial difference between a choice and a mistake (55:00); and OUR M&M (which has much lower stakes than this episode's!

 

Episode 40: What I Am

Two of us are BACK (Patrice and Tréza) to recap #Grey'sAnatomy Season 3, Episode 4. We start out with this episode's Rounds before trying (and failing!) to sort the surgical specialities according to astrological signs (3:30); McSteamy's dramatic (even FIERY) introduction as the newest member of the surgical team at Seattle Grace (18:00); our emergency C-Section Medical Fact of the Week (23:40); Meredith is pregnant with...a bad appendix (30:40); and Izzie's awkward meet and greet with DENNISON Sr.(48:00); plus our M&M of this pretty great episode!
