New Girl 2x08 Recap | "Parents"

And a Rewatch Podcast

We're releasing this episode before American and Canadian Thanksgiving but we hope you enjoy it nevertheless. That's right: it's time to discuss New Girl's second Thanksgiving episode, "Parents."
Jenn is joined by Jaime (@elspunko) and returning friend and journalist Alicia (@AliciaGilstorf) to talk all about this guest star-centered holiday episode! The group talks about the loft's unsuccessful Thanksgivings, Schmidt trying to prove himself to his cousin (guest star Rob Riggle), and the fact that Jess attempts to enact a Parent Trap scheme on her divorced parents (guest stars Rob Reiner and Jamie Lee Curtis) ... not for the first time.
Enjoy, all!
