Keeping Up With The Cohens: The OC Boxset Rewatch Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Get Busy Newport Living or Get Busy Newport Dying (S2E9-E10) Apr 28, 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. Why on earth would Ryan think Lindsay and Marissa becoming friends was a good idea? Why was Lindsay into Marissa’s disgusting sweater? What role does Zac really play when it comes to Atomic County--are his business plays better than that of the publishing house? Why did Jody and Alex break up in the first place?

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.

The Tate Escape (S2E7-E8) Apr 21, 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. Who is the “Gardner” that’s Lindsay’s namesake, and how sure are we that it isn’t DJ? What’s with Alex’s tee shirt and scarf combination? Was Tate’s departure justified or just childish? How much would Luke have LOVED the Bait Shop? Why on earth would Tate tell Kirsten that he’s cheating with her father’s wife?!?!

Panic! At the Yule Ball (S2E5-E6) Apr 14, 2021

Show notes

Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they deep dive into episodes of the seminal TV show of their high school years, The OC. The weather in Newport is getting "colder" as the Chrismukkah season approaches, but with its bite comes new drama. Who will invite whom to the OC Yule Ball? Based on Ryan and Dylan's boxing experience, how would they rate Zac's punch? Is the yamaclaus cute or kitschy? Is a Death-Cab-inspired Chrismukkah carol a bad idea or the worst idea?

April Showers Bring Brandon Flowers (S2E3-E4) Apr 07, 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. Newport is brimming with new faces and new love interests for the Core 4. Why did we hate Lindsay as teens but love her as 30somethings? Is Zac charming or cheesy? Are we really supposed to believe that Harry Style’s girlfriend is supposed to play a 17 year old? Why is this the first time we’re meeting funny Caleb?

The Sound of Muzak (S2E1-E2) Mar 31, 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. Why was Sandy so lax on Seth being a total brat? Was Ryan feeling regretful or forlorned after making his decision to go to Chino with Teresa? Was Marissa’s scream Tarzan-esque, or did it have more of a Cartman aesthetic? Is Zac annoyingly perfect or perfectly annoying? What would three more seasons of Luke have looked like?

One Guitar & A Lot of Complaining Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

Without question, one of the highlights of being in the know with The OC were their varies mix tape albums released over the course of the series. Join Ryan, Dylan, and Chelsea as they reminisce about their favorite songs they bumped in their first cars, driving to high school and trying to make out with their 16 year old crushes. Was Mix 1 or Mix 2 stronger? What bands did The OC lead you to discover? Who was the genius behind choosing the songs? Why did Seth have a Ben Folds poster in his room but no Ben Folds songs ever made the soundtrack cut?

Let's Talk About Seth, Baby Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

Join Dylan, Ryan, and Chelsea as they do a deep dive into the enigma that is Seth Cohen, and the markedly different perception of him we all had as experiencing him 30somethings than we did as teens. Did Seth embody the true "nerd" archetype, or was he more of a misanthrope who happened to have nerdy hobbies? Why was he so attached to Ryan? Did his early dating decisions come from cowardice, inexperience, or convenience? Did he ever really deserve Summer?

Mother Theresa (S1E25-E27/The Kirsten Disc) Jan 27, 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. Change is in the air in Newport, and we’re breaking down everything. Is Julie’s sister just incapable of reading a room? Why was Hailey so obvious about being friends with the strippers she invited to Julie’s party? Why of all places did the boys want to stay at the Hard Rock? How did Ryan learn to count cards, and why hasn’t he put this skill to monetary use before now? How much do we think Sandy and Jimmy were paid by Jimmy for The Lighthouse? And WAIT A MINUTE---was Kirsten pregnant with Jimmy’s baby?!?!?!

1 Night in Paris (S1E21-E24/The Tate and Julie Disc) Jan 20, 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. Why do we think Anna really left? We aren’t children, we know it had more to do with Seth than she’s letting on. Why is that dude always a nefarious bouncer in everything he’s ever been cast in? Why didn’t we all realize what a gem Colin Hanks was back in 2004? What accounted for Julie’s major lapse in judgement--was it immaturity or evilness? Do we think Caleb knows about Luke and Julie? Was Theresa for real for real about just letting Marissa move in?!?

Oliver Twist (S1E17-E20/The Summer Disc) Jan 13, 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. Why is Seth so quick to dismiss Ryan’s concerns about Oliver? Could Oliver *really* not think of a better name than the head receptionist at the Four Seasons? How is Theresa the same age as Ryan, yet is able to rent hotel rooms and getting engaged like a grown ass woman? Does Josh Schwartz have any interest in rebooting The OC as a buddy cop vehicle for Luke and Ryan’s bromance?
