I am certain The O. C will never get a reunion episode .
I also hope there will never be a reboot. Even if Josh Swartz ever got asked to and paid a trillion dollars for it. NOTHING could EVER be made that remotely compares to it. He even tried with Gossip Girl, but it was a different thing. Same formula, equally successful and interesting and fun to watch ,but just a different feeling.
Don't get me wrong. I LOVED ¨The O. C¨, but it is the same love I have for it that makes me want to protect it. Reboots almost always ruin things. I don't want that to ever happen to my favorite show as a teen.
That being said. ¨Welcome to The O. C Bitches!¨ is the best thing that happened to me due to the Pandemic. This Podcast is EVERYTHING I never know I needed, and I am soooo thankful for it.
As previously stated, ¨The O. C¨ has a very special place in my heart. Definitely my biggest obssesion as a teenager therefore I was really surprised to find out this podcast was being made.
Melinda and Rachel are soooo much fun together. They have such good chemistry. Not only do you as a fan get to be behind the scenes and learn what was happening when each episode was being made but you also get to learn a lot about production and what working for a T. V show is really like. They analyze each episode, character, the writing, the music, the camera angles, what each crew member does and how it all contributes to the show being made and resulting in the best dramedy show the 2000´s had to offer.
Melinda has such insight and the way she analyzes each character and their motive is very interesting. How both Rachel and Melinda talk about the characters as if they were real life people and how they are now, after 18 years able to separate themselves from the show and see the characters rather than themselves and see them as an actual person is very funny and also super intesting. It kind of makes me feel as if they were my friends and we were all gossiping about our neighbors or friends from school . As if Marissa, Ryan, Seth, Summer, Julie, Kirsten, Sandy and these other brilliant characters lived right near my street (my ultimate dream as a teen) and we were just talking about what we just saw happen with them at school or in front of our house.
I love every single second of the show and I look forward to every Tuesday so that I can see the new episode on their YouTube channel.
I also love EVERY single guest they have brought along and their perspective of what it was like and what ¨The O. C¨ was like for each one of them.
I know there are lots of ¨The O. C¨ fans out there, so, If you are one of them, you should definitely watch the video podcast, or catch in on Amazon Music, Spotify , Itunes , or anywhere else you listen to podcasts. (I believe some countries also have it available via HBO MAX).
If you haven't seen ¨The O. C¨, check the actual show too. You won't regret it. You could actually watch the show and listed to it's respective podcast episode right after. I am doing that right now.
I get as exited for each podcast episode as I got growing up, and it actually gives me the same fuzzy feeling. Thank you Rachel and Melinda for making it! You are both brilliant!.
10 out of 10, for me, and if I could, I would rate it a 100 out of 10.
