Go Chuck Yourself is the definitive podcast on NBC’s cult classic ”Chuck.” Each episode, superfans Erin and Chris recap an episode, review it with a corndog-inspired system (RIP Wienerlicious), and play episode-centric games like “Chuck, Marry, Kill.” Complete with behind-the-scenes trivia, thoughtful character and plot analysis, and quirky surprises, GCY is the ultimate deep dive into America’s favorite everyday guy-turned-super spy. Whether you’re a lifelong Chuck and Sarah stan or a brand-new recruit to the Buy More and/or CIA, we invite you to join us as we party like it’s 2007-2012!

This week we're putting on our capes and flying from Burbank to Philly to discuss everyone's favorite non-holiday, holiday-themed Zachary Levi vehicle, SHAZAM! After a brief discussion of how the blockbuster came to be and how Mr. Levi got himself involved with it, our hosts note the similarities between Chuck and Shazam, while Erin belittles a mighty wizard's recruiting strategy and Chris reveals that he is qualified (and willing) to be a superhero. Plus: Shazam! Marry Kill and a super new spin on the Scooter Scale.
See you in January for our special about the Save Chuck movement! Happy New Year!

Twenty-two episodes are in the bag, and the declassified scenes have been, well, declassified, so what’s left to discuss this week? Plenty, as it turns out!
In our own season finale, we discuss the Season 2 DVD bonus features, overall feelings on Chuck’s sophomore season, and the future of GCY. Meanwhile, Erin struggles to open a bottle of champagne, Chris surprises everyone with his mathematical prowess, and we have an oddly in-depth discussion of frozen yogurt. Will you marry us? More importantly, WHAT CAN YOU USE THAT IS GRIPPY?! Reminisce about the good days of Season 2, and find out what’s coming before we leave you…but not for long.
Tune in to our Shazam episode in mid-December and our discussion of the Save Chuck movement in January. See you soon!

Why is Big Mike getting out of a car in what seems to be an abandoned lot? What was Emmett’s original relationship with Chuck? What’s Pups & ‘Puters? Find out the answers to these, and more, this week on GCY as we dive into Season 2's "Declassified Scenes." Chris helms the ship as his loose cannon co-host goes noteless for the first time in GCY history, while Erin comes up with her next film festival gamut and our hosts learn about the perfect fingernail length thanks to one of Chuck's former flames. Plus: our hosts take Buzzfeed's unofficial "Which Chuck Character Are You?" quiz!
Just because season two is over doesn’t mean we can’t spend over an hour discussing Chuck!

It’s Veterans Day, and we TOTALLY planned to acknowledge that with our timely release of “Chuck Versus the Colonel.” As season two heads toward an exciting climax (unlike Chuck and Sarah...zing!), Chris is the only one to remember a “classic” Chuck catchphrase, Erin wants you to know she attended the Austin Film Festival, and there’s an odd amount of talk about PT Cruisers... Also, Erin was in Austin recently, taking part in the local film festival. Atten-hut to our discussion of this penultimate episode!
P.S. Erin was at the Austin Film Festival as a Second Rounder in the Drama Feature category.

Someone (Chris) got the dates wrong and thought this would be our Halloween episode, so get ready for early November ghoulies and ghosties as we discuss the spookiest of episodes, "Chuck Versus the First Kill." Chris “The Bat Person” Gillespie offers some advice on Chuck-themed costumes, while Erin “The Queen of Mean AND Scream” Arata does a better job than the US government at naming froyo. Also, the hosts discover another possible venue for NBC crossover fan-fiction. Carve your pumpkin, and empty your pillowcases because it’s (belated) Halloween on GCY! Chirp chirp!

Chuck may be faced with a “broken heart” this episode, but Erin and Chris are the ones reeling from what Erin calls “the grossest thing I have yet seen on the show.” Oh, boy!
In episode 18 of season two, Chris drinks a glass of milk with dinner, Erin learns what a hangover is, and our hosts create the MCU equivalent of hospital crossovers. Also, find out the answers to the following: Who is the bald, branded man at your local Dave & Buster’s? Will our host’s thoughts on Devon’s bachelor party ruin their friendship forever? Who will leave the episode broken-hearted?! Tune in to find out!

If you’re on the hunt for quality insights into season two of Chuck, you’ve found your prey with this episode, discussing “Chuck Versus the Predator.” Chris begins with a call to action for our listeners, and a moment of location-based confusion reveals Erin doesn’t know what words mean. Also, our hosts find a lucrative crossover idea to reinvigorate the Chuck franchise’s future. This episode brought to you by Fable II and O’Reilly Auto Parts. (Or is it? You decide!)
Note: Our apologies again for the issues with Erin's audio this week. We fixed the problem and can assure you that she will be back to normal next week!

Neither of our hosts have seen Lethal Weapon, but they don’t need to be buddy cops to take Morgan to task for his crimes in “Chuck Versus the Lethal Weapon.” After a sincere (seriously!!!) thanks to loyal listeners and recent reviewers, Chris reflects on his Wii Sports skills, Erin gets an A in sixth-grade English, and GCY expands its event-planning services. It’s season two’s sweet sixteen, but we’re not too old for this sh*t - we’re celebrating in style!
Note: We're not sure what happened to Erin's audio during this one, but we're working on fixing it for future episodes! Thank you for your understanding!
