Something that I love and truly appreciate about this podcast so much is the respect shown for the writers of the show. I feel like so many other shows glorify the actors while ignoring the writing staff! What made The OC so special was that you could tell how much care and attention to detail the writers put into each storyline. Loving this podcast more each week!
Sandy to Ryan-“You’re here with us. You don’t have to be the parent anymore”
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
This line followed me as I became "parent" to a teenager. I told her this line and the profoundness made her break down sobbing. And I felt that OC moment flash in my face.

I love that Rachel has part of the Seth Cohen Starter Pack, THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY, on her bookshelf. Such a great book!
I really hope you are going to have Taylor Handley on for one of the Oliver episodes!!!
I second this
@@peteneems third this!
@@gamergirlmars 4th!
YES
Yessssss please
What Mindy said about people who watched it as kids that hated Julie and then as an adult realised she was right... that's me. Fave character hands down.
Please have Benjamin on!
Season 1 of the OC was one of the best seasons of any show that I’ve ever seen.
In some ways maybe it was ‘too good’ as they burned through so much storyline - it was like 3 seasons of storyline within 1.
I liked all of the main characters.
@@davidkerr4117 I would probably go for Sandy (my favourite TV dad), although there was tough competition from Summer, Julie etc.
I thought Seth was great in season 1, was annoying (too selfish and whiny) for much of seasons 2 and 3, and then was great again (there was real character development) in season 4 (which I think was underrated).
Who was your favourite character?
Season 1 was amazing, O.C as a whole, not great but S1 was almost perfect imo, the only other show I can think of with a great S1 like O.C is Westworld Season 1.
i agree. listening to them talk about each episode i keep thinking "this was season 1??" or "that happened in the 5th episode??", etc... makes me wonder what they did for the rest of the show! 😂
@@monie802 definitely. By the end of episode 8, there had probably already been one season worth of storylines (or close to it). It must be very rare for any first season to have as many as 27 episodes.
I agree with you, I wish they shortened season 1, I feel like they could have gone on for longer if they had maybe like 18 or so episodes.
All I can say is HOW THE HELL IS STEPHANIE 52 YEARS OLD!!!!!! She looks 30! She looks amazing. As do Melinda and Rachel of course 🥰💕💕
Actually I can also say this was such an interesting episode I loved hearing all the in’s and outs of the episode!! 🥰
Agreed! She looks like a teenager!
For real like what’s her secret lol 😂
I was gonna say the same thing only...she looks 18 rather than 30. Wow!
"Marissa continues to struggle with personal problems." That could apply to any episode Marissa's in.
😂💀
😔
no one:
Rachel: it's Brody influence!!
every single episode 🤣 love it.
it goes to show how much she loved him then and how much she loves him now, even though they are not together, he clearly was a big part of her life.
@@katherineramirez4108 yes, i love how it shows how perfectly she knew him back then and everything he was into. and it's so nice to know how she appreciates him even now ❤️
I wonder if they are still in touch, I really hope so, I also hope Adam'll come on the podcast one day and it's not too awkward!
@@elisam643 i don't think they are in touch, but when they ran into each other at the airport a few years ago they obviously felt comfortable enough to take a pic together, so hopefully when(/if? 🙏) he's on it won't be too awkward 🙂
Oh yea I forgot about their airport picture! Oh that's good then, they at least feel comfortable around each other, it's not always the case with exes... Let's hope he comes on soon! :)
She needs to comeback!
ps: we need that shirt.
Melinda Clarke and Rachel Bison are amazing
I love how this episode is longer than the latest ones! I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I could listen to these ladies and their guests for hours and hours
yay for getting Alan Dale on the podcast! 🎉 would be great for the season 2 Chrismukkah episode :)
i just watched that one!! What an incledible scene , when he is confronting everyone!!! i bet it would be a long episode and there's sooo much to talk about.. and he is the perfect person to talk about it with!!
Chrismukkah in July! Stephanie's so talented and great -- love hearing the origin story from her POV. Gonna need the link to that shirt.
Stephanie’s milk anecdote was so spot on 😢 and I love that Josh incorporated that into the show
So cool to hear Stephanie talk about the genius and leadership of Josh Schwartz as the Showrunner and how he trusted the cast and writers to write their own influence into the show. You don't tend to hear that much on the set of a major TV show.
I have called the holidays Chrismukkah ever since I watched the OC. 13 years and counting!
Chrismukkah! I remember one year around Christmas I decided to watch all 4 Chrismukkah episodes.
Solid choice
Great Podcast!!! All 3 of you ladies are so Beautiful!!! I didnt know that Rachel Bilson's Dad Danny Bilson created the 1990 The Flash tv show which makes it really funny and hot where she as Summer wore the Wonder Woman outfit for the Chrismukkah episode! lol
A few days ago, I discovered Mischa and Rachel's Instagram accounts, and now I find out that this channel exists, so exciting! I'm a bit melancholic, I moved away from my hometown months ago and I haven't had the chance to make new friends, I live in the countryside. Now that I'm craving some company, The O.C. gives me back the comfort of another time, seeing the show again makes me feel somehow surrounded by friends. I'm going to watch all the videos on this channel one by one. Thank you :_
How am I just finding this podcast?!? Iconic! The OC brings back so many good memories for me, early 2000s was such a special time. Thursday nights, 9pm, FOX. 🍊🤍 So good to see Rachel and Melinda, and all the familiar faces in these special guest appearances. Gonna ride this wave of nostalgia for as long as I can! Subscribed!!!! “Welcome BACK to the OC bitches!!” 🙌
Again, suuuch an interesting episode!! I know some listeners prefer the episodes when you have actors on but I’m LOVING the ones with show runners/writers. Josh and Stephanie were just fascinating to listen to.
Agree completely. Actors provide insights into their characters, but show runners/writers/directors provide insights into the show.
@@Exfiltrator Yeah. They give all the best behind-the-scenes info!
I was obsessed with the show. Now 15 years later I'm learning even more things I didn't know!
Stephanie Savage - a TV genius
Stephanie Savage is the coolest!
Everything Stephanie works on is gold!!
Yes you have to get Alan Dale on, for people who grew up in the UK in the 80s/90s he’s well known for being Jim Robinson in Neighbours the long running Australian soap! He had a heart attack and died in that too so when he had the same fate in The O.C. I thought it was ironic 😂 I loved watching The O.C. when it was first on and I’ve watched it more or less once a year since it finished ! I’m so glad it’s so popular now
Stephanie is brilliant! So much behind the scenes knowledge, can't wait to watch the Gossip Girl reboot when it comes to the UK.
I hope Stephanie comes back for an episode with Josh.
omg please get autumn on here, taylor townsend is definitely one of my favorite characters haha
"Chrismukkah is unruinable. It's got twice the resistance of any normal holiday"
Love this episode and all the bts stuff Stephanie provided. Now I NEED to hear the song the cast recorded back in the day!!! 😲
Considering Blake Lively was the tallest cast member on "Gossip Girl" so flats wouldn't have kept her from towering over everyone!
Awesome episode. Stephanie is so impressive and excuse me how in the world is she 52?!? Love this podcast!
Forget the t-shirt link, drop the skincare routine!
That's pretty crazy, the whole time watching this I was wondering how she already had such a high position and was able to write these stories at age 22-24. I guess she was actually in her 30's! She probably could have played one of the teens on the show.
Stephanie is such a delight, oh my goodness!!
I love love love this podcast! Makes me feel like less of a nerd for having watched this show like 18 times 🤣
I totally respect the writers here. I will say that they technically did not invent "Christmakkuh"; they only made it popular. It came from a Jewish family who one of the writers knew. As a Jewish person, I knew about Christmakkuh before the OC. Sorry to burst that bubble. That being said, the writers did an excellent job on this series.
Btw amazing podcast. I only stumbled across this recently but I’m very happy that I did. I’ve enjoyed all of the episodes.
Okay where is the fountain of youth Stephanie has? She's 52. I thought she was in her 30s when she appeared on here.
She's 52?? 😳😳😳. Wow she looks amazing 🤩
I look forward tho this O.C podcast every week. Thank you.
Merry Christmukkah!
Great, how Stephanie loves original GG, Blair!! XOXO Gossip Girl..
I LOVED the deep dive into Ryan and Marissa’s characters👏🏼❤️ thank you for doing this!!
Does anyone else notice the blue balls in front of Seth when he’s sitting on the couch with Summer and Anna when waiting to go to the party and then again when he’s laying on the couch after when he has the Seth Cohen starter packs? Hahaha coincidence? Wish I started this podcast sooner and could’ve called in for a fan question Rachel, Melinda, and Stephanie!
I think the waiter at the party was the man living in the Cohen's Berkeley house in season 4.
Yes, it was.
Yep he was also in the pilot. ‘Crab and Brie Filo?’
Love this episode!!!!!!💙💛💜💚
❤❤❤🤗🎬🍊👏🎙Yes! Christmas episode! Hi Mindy, Happy happy day to you too!! I loved this episode!! Welcome the screenwriter Stephanie Savage on this podcast episode 13! It is so great for having her who talked about The OC...🎄 It's amazing and wonderful!! Thank you!!! Beautiful conversation you guys!💕😍😘
The best podcast episode ever. 🤷🏼♂️
fax
Rachel looks like a better wonder woman Than wonder woman
How cute are Stephanie and her shirt th😍?
Been rewatching the first series of The OC recently and nice to come across this podcast, nice to see its hosted by 2 popular cast members who can give behind the scenes stuff. Will follow these podcasts while rewatching. :)
I love that Rachel mentioned Buffy the Vampire Slayer (even though she was referring to the movie) because she was on an episode of the last season
Loved the episode. Hope she comes back!
The roadside fight scene was definitely one of my faves. It felt so real. Ben And Mischa delivered it very well. Still hoping for an OC Reboot💗
Loved this episode especially the ending with Ryan’s stocking…so cute 🙂 Stephanie looks SOOOOO young and pretty and I enjoyed listening to what she had to say ♥️
6:28 watch both ladies 💕
In sync! 💯💯
beautiful episode every Christmas I watch it. congratulate me today is my birthday 🎂😊
Ryan combines alcohol, crying and cops. "It must be Christmas".
Just wanted to say Julie and Seth do have a scene together, summer is in it too, in episode 27 at Julie’s engagement party
What happened to the older episodes?
right? i wanted to watch from the start and this is the earliest one 🥲
Yeah I was wondering that too!! They just don't seem to be there anymore, but why?!
Melinda needs to play a mom in Gossip Girl!!! Come on now!
My favourite episode 😍
I love the idea of over the top being a thumb wrestling movie 😂😂😂
Love Stephanie. 💜
I hate Oliver but what I hate the most is the "one character is warning the others about someone and they don’t believe him" trope.
Simply Iconic
chrismukkah is the best thing to ever be created
Is noone gonna mention the fact the Stephanie put herself (sort of) in Ryan's class at Harbour? I thought that was pretty funny.
Stephanie Savage!!! I've been waiting for this one! Wait. Who's Stephanie Savage?
Executive producer and writer of The O.C
How am I so late to this podcast omg my teenage heart!
Where is Ben Mackenzie and Adam Brody?
I dont think olivers parents did own the pent house because when marissa asks anna if she knows oliver shes asks who it is?? Just a thought xxx
I love Melinda and Rachel! The First season of the OC is even better then any season of Friends. I recently did facial readings on the Friends cast. I really think I need to do one for the OC cast now! Would you guys want to see it?
Here is what the friends one looked like. Keep up the Podcast girls, hope Samaire, is on soon.
ruclips.net/video/P11S1WRvOEc/видео.html
OMG, Yes please do facial readings for the OC Cast now! I would love to see one on Mishca, I think she must have a lot of sadness. I love her and hope that she can get some acting jobs in the future she can do great with a good script. In season one and 2 she was so good on the show!
please do!! it'd be great if you could do one of the gossip girl cast too :)
I’d love to hear Alex Patsavas’ views on the show as well! :-)
love that t-shirt
I hated Oliver with a passion as a little kid but now I love him lol so entertaining 😆
I didn't know Kelsea Ballerini worked on the show! (Stephanie Savage looks like her!)
Summer I love you!
The only song missing from the Christmukkah CD is Carol of Meows by Guster !!!
Davvero straordinario con amore Davide cortese 😃
Would love to have Samaire on for The Wheel
But she’s bat shit crazy so better off just keeping her away
She's fucking nuts now
I'm just catching up on these episodes! Some of them seem to be missing. Does anyone know where I can watch the missing episodes? I know there were two with Adam Brody but they aren't on here anymore. Please help!! :) Thanks!
Why?
Did they do any of the earlier episodes for season 1?
Please try and get more cast on the show ☺️
its so funny because i first watched the show in 2012 when i was in middle school and i didnt even give a second thought to ryans choker because i just assumed that was normal for guys in the early 2000’s
I love the oc I love it some much I buy 2 box set of the 1-4 season 's and I got a box set giving to me so now I have 3 box set love u guys are u ever going to have Ryan outwood with Seth on the show?
Allow me to introduce you to a little something that I like to call 'Christmukkah'"
Sorry, but where is all old videos? Just wanted to re-watch the podcast with Adam and couldn't find it😟
There back on the channel
The Oliver storyline was a great perspective, but frustrating at the same time bc it was the first time that a person interfered with Ryan & Marissa’s relationship. Which I found to be an annoying pattern. Someone always interfered with Marissa, Ryan would pull back & then he’d move on so quickly! Lol drove me nuts! 😂 but made for good entertainment!
Does Stephanie have an aging portrait in her attic?? ;-P
I ran around my late teens with a choker on. Actually I fully adopted Ryan’s look now that I think about it. But my choker was a thin black shoe lace, lol, because I didn’t know wtf that was around his neck. #trendy
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you ask her why dynasty has gone down hill so much since end of season 1?
Why did she not want Dylan McKay's name said? (Luke Perry has passed away but is there some copyright over 90210 characters?)
I think Oliver DID own the penthouse, at the end of his run (when he holds Marissa hostage) when we meet the hotel concierge whom he has pretended is his fantasy girlfriend Natalie Bishop, she confirms it pretty much that she practically reared him
But if you remember Anna’s parents are friends with the people who own the penthouse but she didn’t know who Oliver was
Jimmy actually said to Marissa a few episodes ago "I can't take care of both of us...". He and Julie sucked a parents.
please clear things up with misca barton! it' s driving me nutz. she is saying more things aout needing to lose her virginty on the o. c. Rachel and her story are different. we need to know the truth and what is going on........
Listening to this episode in your car is terrible due to Stephanie's echo
