Bros Watch PLL Too - A Pretty Little Liars podcast

Merry Christmas, bitches. The Bros are checking in one last time for 2025 with an extended conversation about the writing of our Trouble: Girl Detective mystery series. We’re joined by London of the Cinema of Cruelty podcast to go deep on heroes, villains, TV adaptation changes, our writer origin stories, and much more. Massive SPOILER warning! We immediately get into end-of-series details, so don’t listen until you’ve finished all five books. 

This week on the pod we’re joined by special guest and Trouble contest winner Amanda to time jump back to January 2016, when Pretty Little Liars was giving us a taste of the Liars all grown up. Spaleb! Lucas still thinks he has a shot with Hanna! Emily went to massive lengths to conceal the fact that she dropped out! Aria is still way too codependent on Ezra. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

The Bros are back with special guest and Trouble contest winner Raine Fielder to talk about the four-girl romp that started it all, I. Marlene King and Lesli Linka Glatter’s Now and Then. Marco, James, and Raine talk about those old coming of age movies, kids riding bikes, and which characters resemble a proto-Pretty Little Liar. Thanks to Raine for joining us, and check out her linktree for more about her work.

The time has come to close the chapter on Ravenswood, which the Bros do by revisiting PLL s05e11 “No One Here Can Love or Understand Me,” where Caleb tells Hanna and the audience what happened with that whole pact thing. It’s not much.

Well folks, we did it. We’ve completed the first and only season of Ravenswood, an odd, half-baked show that never seemed to know what story it was trying to tell. The finale, in a word, is baffling. At least we got to see lots of Benzo.

In the penultimate episode of Ravenswood, Caleb becomes obsessed with a little chapel in the property for no real reason. Luke confronts Dillon and we learn that he sacrificed Olivia to escape The Pact. Mrs. Matheson is drunk. Collins is Snape. Miranda is a loser. God, this is rough.

If I may say, this is a pretty good episode of the pod. It’s a terrible episode of TV, but I think you’ll like the podcast. We’re talking about Ravenswood s01e08, wherein multiple scenes take place where a character falls asleep.

This week on Ravenswood, Caleb’s Uncle Daddy shows up, along with a bunch of plot lines from early in the season that honestly we thought the writers forgot about. Springer is dead, maybe. Tess is evil, maybe. Ray Collins is a sassy bitch, definitely.

The Bros are back after a little hiatus, and so is Ravenswood! Caleb is newly committed to not being interested in Miranda after dumping Hanna for her. Everyone starts taking their wild assumptions as facts, and of course they are shown to be correct. Collins is moving in on the Widow Matheson.

The Bros are joined by special guest Kayla to open the kimono about their own mystery series, and its final installment: Trouble to the Last Drop. Full MASSIVE SPOILERS for the entire Trouble: Girl Detective series here, so skip this one and come back later if you still need to catch up. Ravenswood coverage will return next week with s01e06 of that show.
