Bygones: The Ally McBeal Podcast

It is here! It is time! Yep, we've loved, we've lost (mainly RDJ) and now we're on the other side of Season 4 - it only took us 3.5 years but we did it!! And what a rollercoaster ride that was. So, as is customary here at Bygones, we simply cannot move on to seasons new until we make time to hold space for everything we lived, laughed and lost over the course of this one. AND OF COURSE, we must determine who is the winner of this season's Verdict of the Week Leaderboard - everyone's (read: Laura-Jane's) favourite feature. 🤓 So strap in and raise a toast for Larry (and any other fallen soldiers from the Season 4 massacre - Mark? Anyone? Anyone?) as we say goodbye to Season 4! ** FIND US ON THE INTERNET! 📱Follow Bygones on Twitter and Facebook @bygonespodcast and Instagram @bygonespod! 📧Or email us [email protected] *** PRO TIPS! 🛍WE HAVE MERCH!! - with our first three season's artwork on anything from a t-shirt to a phone case (no face-bra's though 😞!!)

We're FINALLY here with the last episode of Season 4 (!!) which means that it is high time for us to tie up this Larry business once and for all (spoiler: THAT'S IT, HE'S NOT COMING BACK, EVERYONE MOVE ON, NO IT'S FINE HONEST), for LJ to lose her mind over witnessing Josh Groban's origin story, and for all of us to wonder wtf just happened here. Today we are processing all of our feelings about S4E23: The Wedding. Now pass us our "Go Away. We're Sad" signs. *** FIND US ON THE INTERNET! 📱Follow Bygones on Twitter and Facebook @bygonespodcast and Instagram @bygonespod! 📧Or email us [email protected] *** PRO TIPS! 🛍WE HAVE MERCH!! - with our first three season's artwork on anything from a t-shirt to a phone case (no face-bra's though 😞!!)

Dust off your karaoke booths and sing along Bygoners!: 🎶 Richard hops off a plane at LAX, with a dream and his cardigan, Welcome to the land of fame, excess... is he gonna fit in?  Jumped in the cab here he was for the second time. Looked to his right and he saw the Hollywood sign. It was all so crazy. Everybody seemed so famous. His tummy was turnin’ and he was feelin’ kinda homesick. Too much pressure and he’s nervous. That’s when the taxi man turned on the radio and a Jay-Z song was on. And a Jay-Z song was on. AND A JAY-Z SONG WAS ON!!! So he put his hands up, they’re playing’ his song, the Bygones fly away! (He’s nodding his head like yeah, moving his hips like yeah) He’s got his hands up, they’re playing his song, they know he’s gonna be ok. YEEAHHHHHH he’s in LA to go and meet Jane! YEEEEAHHH he’s in LA to go and MEET JANE!!!

🚨 CN: Bigotry is back at Cage & Fish (did it ever go away?!), this time in the form of ableism directed at folks with dwarfism so feel free to skip this episode if that's going to be tough to hear. Meanwhile Cassandra has come from LA to confound John and Ling continues to refuse to be with Jackson to confound us! For better or worse, today is all about S4E18: The Obstacle Course.   *** FIND US ON THE INTERNET!   📱Follow Bygones on Twitter and Facebook @bygonespodcast and Instagram @bygonespod!   📧Or email us [email protected]   *** PRO TIPS!   🛍WE HAVE MERCH!! - with our first three season's artwork on anything from a t-shirt to a phone case (no face-bra's though 😞!!)

There's nothing we love more than a little homo-erotic toe-to-toe but NOT at the expense of innocent people's weddings! Jackson and Larry almost end things between a betrothed couple over a pre-nup with a side of muscle-envy. And things aren't so great between Elaine and Mark (oh no, stop, so sad...👀) because Elaine is cheating on him. For gods sakes Elaine, if he finds out he might dump and then you'll be ALONE, which is a fate worse than dating Mark!! What are you thinking?!?! Today we are discussing S4E17: The Pursuit of Unhappiness. And special mention goes to Jackson's muscles. Always.   *** FIND US ON THE INTERNET!   📱Follow Bygones on Twitter and Facebook @bygonespodcast and Instagram @bygonespod!   📧Or email us [email protected]   *** PRO TIPS!   🛍WE HAVE MERCH!! - with our first three season's artwork on anything from a t-shirt to a phone case (no face-bra's though 😞!!)
