Leslie and Ben

Leslie and Ben

Episode Summary Move over, Hugh Grant — it’s Adam Scott’s turn to shine. In this episode, Ren and Madie talk about Madie’s all-time favorite sitcom couple: Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt. While no sitcom wedding ever goes to plan, Ben and Leslie’s wedding episode is practically perfect television. Their chemistry, nuance, humor, and general adoration for one another makes this love story hard to beat (and might make Ren a fan of TV) (maybe).

Enjoy our final two episodes as CGH and stay tuned for brand new recordings, an actual website, and the same ridiculous banter (our only consistency in this project) (so far).

K-Pop Demon Hunters

K-Pop Demon Hunters has taken the internet (and these two hosts’ hearts) by a storm, and there’s good reason for it. Animation is back with original, inventive storytelling, proving that the medium has merit, especially when it’s up against live-action remakes. (Spoiler: We’re not fans of the latter.) Ren walks Madie through why this movie made an impact from the first watchthrough — and why the subsequent several rewatches are worth it too.

The Black Parade

The mid-2000s are back in a big way with this episode of Canonically Good Hang as Ren walks Madie through one of his favorite albums of all time: The Black Parade. As a Certified Emo Kid™, Ren explores what makes this album great from the banger lyrics to the absolutely insane lore. Madie joins in as a recent fan of MCR, and together, it's basically time travel back to when teenagers really did scare the living sh*t out of us.

Red (Part 2)

In the second half of Taylor Swift’s Red, Madie takes Ren through the 2021 rerecording. Together they talk the highs and lows of the rerecords and discuss how the album, now completed with songs from the vault, manages to capture being “happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time.” Canonically Good Hang is a video podcast hosted by Ren Cottam and Madie Thatcher.
