Keeping Up With The Cohens: The OC Boxset Rewatch Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Charlotte's Web (of LIES) (S3E3-E4) Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. Was Dean Hess’s face this punchable in Cruel Intentions, or is he just nailing the smarminess of this particular character? Does Harbor have enough of a student body to convincingly interpret South Pacific? Why the hell did the Coopers not invite their own daughter Caitlin to their wedding, and why the hell did the Nichols not invite Caleb’s daughters Hailey or Lindsay to the reading of his will? Wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect Charlotte to be better at the whole con artist thing if she has enough investment money to check into a fancy rehab? How hard did Tate break Dylan’s heart?

Tune in for this and more as we go back in time to the height of Razr phones, ironic graphic tees, teeny tiny Louis Vuitton purses, and of course the DVD box sets that started it all. Welcome to the Podcast, bitch.

Shot Through the Heart, and You're to Blame (S3E1-E2) Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. Tensions are high in Newport as Trey’s fate remains uncertain and Kirsten buddies up with a shady new friend at rehab. Has Tate returned only to break our (okay, Dylan’s) heart? Did the dean like, intentionally want his hair to be the color of a Sun-In model? Is Sandy the most forgiving human on earth or does Julie just get a perma-pass for her wicked behavior? Also, we have two words for our fair listeners: TAYLOR. TOWNSEND.

I Want My MTV Jul 14, 2021

Show notes

It's 2003. You just pulled into your driveway after a long day of high school drama. Before you get out, the DJ comes on the radio to tell some off-color jokes as the music transitions from Crazy in Love into the remix to Ignition, hot and fresh out the kitchen. But you've got better things to do than sit in the car. You turn it off and go inside. You have some time to kill before the new episode of The OC, so you toss your backpack onto the couch, grab a tube of Pringles, and turn on MTV. All is right in the world. Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

Join Ryan, Chelsea, and Dylan as they take you back to an era when MTV reigned supreme in this special bonus episode of Keeping Up With The Cohens. You can find (almost) all the tunes mentioned in this episode in a special Spotify playlist curated by everyone's favorite DJ and Cohens co-host, Ryan Samantha Drake.

The hippest Triumvirate since Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus will return for season three on August 18, 2021 to give you the BEST coverage of the WORST season of the OC.

And now you know why Ryan and Chelsea don't let me write episode descriptions during the main seasons.

xoxo,

Dylan

Tate By The Ocean (S2E23-E24) Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. How does Seth and all of his flaws still possess the moxie to make Chelsea and Dylan swoon at his description of high school prom? Was George Lucas a fan of The OC or did he just dig the movement to make nerdism mainstream? Did the kids have to tell Ryan or should they have gotten Sandy involved first? Are we gonna lose another star in our rating due to Dylan’s George Lucas imitation? Where are we? What the hell is going on?

SadGirlKiKi (S2E21-E22) Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

Trigger warning: episode deals with sexual assault and trauma.

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. Did producers bring in psychologists to help them recreate such a realistic picture of an attack and the aftermath? Speaking of assault, pretty sure what Julie pulled qualifies. How much of Kirsten’s connection to Carter was romantic vs just a supportive friend who deeply listened and cared? Did she want Sandy to catch her (not very bloody) Mary?

Lance Crass (S2E19-E20) Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. How did all of those randos find out about Marissa’s party? What on earth kinda daddy issues and trauma did Jess suffer from to turn out the way she did? Since when was the DA cool with letting people set up their own stings? How were Jess and her boyfriend stupid enough to sell drugs to someone whose house they had just gotten in trouble at? How much risk did Caleb know he was assuming when he didn’t pay Lance?

Graphically Novel (S2E17-E18) May 26, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. Let’s talk about Trey, baby. How justified was Ryan for his initial hostility towards Trey? Did Marissa and Sandy intervene too much? Do we think Trey actually stole the watch? Who on earth would just give away a piece of pop culture history as iconic as the crystal egg? Where on earth did Seth suddenly gain the athletic prowess needed to cradle a highly breakable item from smashing into an asphalt surface?

The Mallpisode Podpisode (S2E15-E16) May 19, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. Did you too daydream of getting stuck in a mall overnight? Can we get a buddy spinoff with Alex and Julie? Does the giant trojan horse have any significance to Harbor or are we crossing wires with USC? Where did Alex find convict friends?

REBECCXIT (S2E13-E14) May 12, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. Is anyone else feeling a strong sense of deja vu? At what point did Julie decide Kirsten was a trusted friend and companion and not a hostile frenemy? How did Caleb *not* realize the shitstorm he was causing by demanding an 11th hour paternity test? Are we to believe Rebecca just vanished into the woods on foot? Is she actually gone or is this one of her 5,754 fake outs? What’s with Seth’s weird lips?

Pitch Imperfect (S2E11-E12) May 05, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into early episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. What is it about this episode run that feels so...familiar? Is Caleb actually still salty about the model home, or is he just trying to distract from his villainous 16 year absence? At what moment did Marissa realize her feelings for Alex intensified? Who on earth gives 16 year olds an official pitch meeting? When was the last time you had a good nose grazing session? When will Rebecca GTFO already?
