The movie they were watching was a play on the musical Rent.

Oh God I just rewatched the reprises after seeing this comment, he doesn't just invert the rhyme fake-out, he also changes the Inland Empire line to "It's cool that you see the bounty/Of the best town in LA County" xD It's great because it works both inside and outside of the text - IRL we know it's a mistake they corrected, but in the show it's a great little moment distinguishing Rebecca, the outsider who is faking an interest in West Covina when she actually wants Josh, from Josh the insider who genuinely loves his hometown and everything about it. The more I think about it the more I feel those discrepancies kind of represent their whole relationship, in the first seasons at least.

18 episodes to the 1st season, so this was effectively their midseason finale, which definitely makes sense and helps contextualize what y'all were talking about with this being heavier and really taking steps in each of the different characters and their respective relationships. I think if we're going grand scheme of this season and show, this episode does a stellar job at exactly what it wants to do, which is put all the major pieces into place to move into the second act of the season. This episode is hard to watch but one of my favorites (even if I have to look away through most of that poledance lmao). Loved the reaction as always!! Fun thing to point out, too-- you guys obviously noticed the "I Have Friends" reprise at the top of the episode, but not sure if you caught the fact that the "I Have Friends" instrumental then pops up again when Rebecca first gets everyone to come on the party bus!! Throughout the show, this is a trend that continues with riffs returning of various songs and imo it's super rewarding when you're able to pick up on it :)

p.s. episode after this next one- ooh boy. Tip top tier of the whole series for me but also I think most people. Can't wait to see how you guys react to this back half of the season, because it is, in Heather's ever wise words, "bonkerballs"

Rachel Bloom did have a body double doing the more rigorous moves for the stripper dance, which is why most of the time when she's upside down or twirling you can't see her face very well. It was perfectly....uncomfortable for everyone.

I love and agree with everything you say, so thanks so much! -- with one exception: it's not a huge deal, but the clearest "midseason finale" the series ever did was the previous episode, with the concluding ensemble number for most of the cast... followed by a month's break before episode 9. It's so true about the increasing backlog of song instrumentals that's used for appropriate underscoring; when Greg and Heather agreed to see each other in the Christmas episode, we could hear "Settle for Me" under their dialogue.

Yes, Rachel B was very up-front about it on Twitter the next day, naming and praising her body double for the pole dance. In general, of course, this is a cast of stellar musical-theater people with zero need for help with singing or dancing... but that pole dance was something beyond.

This is indeed a very uncomfortable episode, for sure! I always cringe a little in anticipation when I'm about to rewatch it. But it turns out to be a huge one in the scheme of things -- in effect, they blow up The Premise So Far. Rebecca's lies (most of them, anyway) are now known to everyone; and she definitively admits she loves Josh. (The theme song remains unchanged though -- but that fact will itself be meta-addressed in a future episode.) Josh's "West Covina" Reprise is almost as touching as the one Paula had in the pilot. And parallel to the original rendition, there's a rhyme fake-out at a crucial point. Originally Rebecca sang "Oh my GOSH! 'Cause I'm hopelessly, desperately in love with...[not Josh but] West Covina!" And this time Josh sang "It's Nirvana, it's Heaven, It's MECCA! 'Cause I'm hopelessly, desperately in love with [not Rebecca but] West Covina!" How about that magic car Paula owns, huh? -- when Rebecca calls, 20 minutes before arriving at the beach, Paula's still back home in West Covina. And yet she beats the bus there.
