The BRO.C

And we're back, baby! We had the tremendous joy of inviting back improvisor/illustrator/awesome human Dayna Bowers (@daynab) to chat S2 E16 "The Blaze of Glory". We also get to talk beach bon fires, tribal horse burning, Dayna's dad / OC lover, self-deprecating wrist cuffs, that you don't need money and a man, breathing North Coast fresh air, belly buttons, bland food, Subway coupons, and Tottenham Hotspur's Dele Alli. Smell ya later Alex!

This week, we had the pleasure of inviting back Buzzfeed teen heartthrob, Shane Madej (@shanemadej , @shalexandej ) to discuss his love of Malls! We also discuss the best Mall in the country (Woodfield Mall), The Americana at Brand, Marissa being a trash girlfriend, Ryan oddly eavesdropping, Sandy & Cal’s budding bromance, our dislike for the shaking of the Cohen marriage, the grim reality of staying overnight at the mall, Beck, wearin’ hoodies, yoga apps, and literally stopping to smell the roses. The core 4 is back!

This week on the pod, we have returning delightful O.C fan and knower of all comic book things, Trevor Reece (@trevorcopter, @Po2W_Flash)! The #midseasonslump is OVER as we chat S2 E14 "The Rainy Day Women". We also discuss technicalities of the Spider-Man kiss, Seth redeeming himself, Marissa's inability to face responsibility, Zach as a doormat, the tiny Seth doppleganger, Rebecca leaving, the Thor: Ragnarok trailer, 13 Reasons Why, and the Power Rangers movie. Also, listen for our recurring theme: it was fate that Trevor was on this episode (via The Flash comics).

This week, we welcome super funny pal Elle Eckley (@elleeckley) to chat S2 E13 "The Father Knows Best". We go in-depth about Dream, N'Sync, why Marissa sucks, the need for Seth & Summer to be together, the weirdest thing to do with ashes, creepy insane Seth, talking to your friends about sex, the Cohens' love of bathrobes, shitty Sandy and a ton of other tangents including a Sunbeam toasters.

This week on the pod, Ryan & Roxy go solo again for S2 E11 "The Second Chance". Will they survive this #midseasonslump? Will they botch their own show intro? Other subjects include "Rebecca's" NYPD Blue career, "where has Julie gone?", Marissa using Alex, Wildstorm, Caleb looking TOO good to have sustained a heart attack, Ryan & Kirsten as a pair, Atomic County being a viable piece of art, Mr. Div and Tostitos Queso.

Your OG BFF's return for S2 E10 "The Accomplice"! We discuss the sweetest moment we've seen in quite a few eps, Seth's art skills, being over Zack & Lindsay, the Rebecca storyline, Marissa & Alex's budding galmance and Sandy & Kirsten's relationship. We also chat about Riverdale, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, twins, ties, and ogle Adam Brody.

This week, we welcome back CW Seed insider and delightful guest Joe Prettyman to chat S2 E9 "The Ex Factor". We discuss fake O.C. teens' REAL problems during the Iraq war, how this episode would have played out in 2017, an unearned attraction on a couch, the "Dawn Atwood Special", can we get rid of Lindsay, staying in, not being OK, Zach's Andrew Keegan vibes, The Great British Bake Off, RuPaul's Drag Race, and Speechless.

This week on the BRO.C, we chat S2 E8 with returning guest and favorite Matt Moore (@thatmattmoore). We also discuss DJ & Marissa's boring relationship, how this was a weird episode, how Sandy should have sung "The Power of Love" but didn't, Seth having the wrong moves, butterfly tattoos, listening to your boyfriend's dad, how Lindsey needs to leave the show, being metal, overspending on concerts, and PEAK.

This week we dive deep into S2 E7 "The Family Ties" and talk about teenage drinking, almost incest, relating to Marissa, Caleb's ugly fancy car, Jimmy finally making the right decision, "Bad Boy" Seth, Sandy knowing the "John" was gone, Dae Dae, embarrassing your relatives with gifts, and we get some "cool takes" from a bottle of chilled Coca Cola.
