About this episode

The episode discusses the chicken fingers and cafeteria cartel plot from a popular show, highlighting memorable moments and character dynamics.

You know what this one is. It's the chicken fingers episode, the Goodfellas episode, the one where the study group runs a cafeteria cartel. But did you know it's also the episode that gave us "streets ahead"? We didn't! We so did not remember that, and we have a whole podcast named after it. This episode has other hidden gems too like Abed's mafia diagram that lists everyone's functions and wants. Come check it out with us and find out which member of the study group is into birds and banjo music. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
