I thought his assessment of the Mischa situation was very respectful, thoughtful, and sympathetic--probably the best comments we've heard about it so far. He doesn't speak negatively about the show, set, cast, or crew in any way (although he smartly points out the issues with having underage actors), but he also does his best to see it from her perspective and understand where she was coming from in the context of the 2000s paparazzi/"it girl" craze. He just seems like such a well-spoken, compassionate guy.
@@karismalovesglitter I mean, who wouldn't be with the way it was asked. It's clear Andy doesn't know them well enough to be commenting on it, he just wanted gossip and drama. Adam called it gross in this podcast, and he's 100% right
Absolutely. I thought what he said about the narrative of ‘you were the problem so now you’ve been killed off’ was so insightful. That would have been awful to deal with for Mischa in the proceeding years.
it's so refreshing to see actors that were on a super popular early 2000's teen show actually be able to look back to it with admiration and respect for the work and talk about the good times, while also acknowledging difficult moments!! not many people do that and it's truly warming and cool to see from a fan perspective!
Finally we hear stuff like that coming out of Adam's mouth. In all the interviews since the show ended he conveyed the feeling (and his words were sometimes quiet harsh) that he DIDN'T look back to jt in admiration. It always made me sad... And I thought it was unprofessional because when you think about it, you don't see a Tom Cruise or a Brad Pitt complain about their earliest work. No, they show respect for it because it's what made them famous. It's just professional to acknowledge that.
Rachel and Brody going down memory lane is exactly why I'm here. Its so weird but also so awesome. The fact that these two can come together again is simply wonderful.
I think this was my favourite episode so far. Adam was so respectful about his time on the show and even admitted when he may have been in the wrong. He was so diplomatic on the Mischa situation, I agree that's probably what happened. Adam is so interesting to listen to, I could have watched another 10 hours of him. I hope he comes back in the future. If you could get Ben and Adam on the same episode that would be incredible.
Rachel and Brody totally clueless of the fact that Theresa keeps the baby and that THAT decision led to so much stuff for everyone is beyond hilarious!
in a way it's so satisfying to hear adam confirm he stopped trying as much in the latter seasons because i have aaaalways thought you could tell this in his performance/vibe
Adam is very down to earth and having him on the podcast is very refteshing. It is nice for someone to have a realistic view on Mischas issues she had on the OC, he makes extreme sense and does not put her down like a lot of people have been doing. He is seems to be a really nice person
Adam was an amazing guest. This honestly feels like Melinda's podcast because she seems to do the most research, asks the guests thoughtful questions and introduces interesting topics, and she actually remembers things from the show. 💜
I agree, I feel like she does take it more seriously. I was actually surprised to hear that this is Rachels idea tbh. No hate there to Rachel but I just feel like Melinda is a better host in energy, prep, questions and content overall. But I am just happy that the podcast exists :) Edit: in the last few episode I feel like Rachel has had better contributions. I really like that! But me personally; I sometimes don’t like the way Rachel cuts off Melinda, it’s too snarky and rude for my taste and it makes it harder to watch when I really want to enjoy this. There are ways to talk to people and yeah I don’t feel like rudeness is the way. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions of course, but yeah I find myself hoping that will change. Either way I will still watch the podcast because I love the OC and I learn some interesting things as well while watching this podcast 😃🌸
Omg Rachel was an open book, like I would be so mortified if that was my ex. She's so straightforward. Adam seems kinda flustered at times. I'm living for this. I love hearing all the commentaries not just about the show but about everything 🤗🤗 This has made my whole week. 💗
This show literally sounds like a bunch of 20 year old kids (cast and crew) just living their best lives and making some amazing memories. Its such a shame that Mischa doesnt feel this way. I really hope she will make it onto the podcast! Xxx
I like what you said, as someone who first knows nothing about what mischa went through, but who has gone through severe trauma at a young age like her, I relate most things in a negative light from the times I was being abused/experiencing trauma. I wish more people knew that it could be from that, I don’t think people think about that. So she looks back negatively *possibly* because a lot of negative things were happening to her around that time in my mind.
@@nikkis7375, yeah. Because everyone else on the show had a blast and has great memories, they think she should too. Simply because it would make themselves feel better knowing the “core four” were besties in real life. Wah wah. ☹️
@@lizzybizzy3017 Clearly you didn't pay attention to anything they said on the subject, during the podcast, because they said, they don't discount her perspective. They just said, that, that wasn't their's', They never discounted hers. Unless you were responding to the commenter, which that might be her opinion, perhaps anyway... Otherwise, you completely misrepresented the podcasts' perspective.
It's crazy to hear Adam say how he feels like he could have done things "better" with his Seth acting. I think they were all perfect for the roles and I can't imagine it being performed "better". Please add personal behind the scenes pictures every episode!!
Ya that was interesting. You can see him tone down his performance in season 3&4 and I thought that was him getting bored with the role, but now I see it as him trying to perfect it. That said, I love his energetic performance in season 1. He somehow mumbles and speaks fast at the same time lol.
Wow Adam is so wise and talks so well. His take on Misha's experience is so well spoken and very smart. That's actually probably what happened, the things you experience at 17 are not the same when you are 20 or older.
People saying Rachel was flirting... I disagree! She obviously has a soft spot for him, but I'm guessing rewatching everything and seeing these old fond memories of a good time in your life makes you a bit nostalgic, and he seems to have been a huge part of her life back then. It was sweet to see, I didn't find it disrespectful
I WANNA GIVE MY BIGGEST THANKS TO ADAM FOR TAKING HIS TIME TO DO THIS. I think I speak for almost everyone when I say that 3 weeks ago, it seemed completely surreal that this would happen, or at least that Adam would be so nostalgic and appreciative of the show. I cannot begin to explain how much it means to us, truly truly special ❤
Exactly it definitely means a lot...im hoping they bring Anna on as well...her part of the show the episode when Seth ran to meet her at the airport!!! I mean that was heart dropping TV
Considering the length of the first part, I thought this one would be kinda short, too... But I'm glad I was wrong: almost 1 hour 30 min of awesomeness! Thank you Rachel, Melinda and, of course, Adam for this! ❤️
Having a podcast I would assume, is a huge learning curve. I have to say Mindy has really grown from the first podcast episode. Imo she is naturally good at it but now she is excelling at it. 👏
Mindy is great! I really can not say the same about Rachel… she is like careless about everything about the show, so not quite sure why she is part of the podcast since she seems like could not care less about the show…
I loved what he said about the show, his behavior in the last season, Mischa and how her and her characters were treated: he was so honest, open and transparent! 👏 The only "complaint" I might have is that I would've liked you all to comment the episode more, it was a great one and I think it needed more space. Now I wish we get a 2 parter for Ben McKenzie as well: he deserves it just like Adam did!
The way he assessed the Mischa situation is so accurate. Plus, Rachel has made it clear that she's super close to Josh Schwartz and Schwartz himself has said the Seth's character was basically him on screen so it's not a coincidence I think, that their storyline ended up being the relationship everyone cheered for and things worked out for them. Must suck, from Mischa's pov, to see everyone else's characters get these great character arcs and her being stuck in the endless drama, I wouldn't have felt comfortable either 😐
Mischa was 16. Everyone else was 20. Of course it will not be a wonderful atmosphere. She was a kid trying to be with adults. Her parents/agent/assistant/publicist are the blame there. They were supposed to protect her.
@@alexism-brewer7829 I mean, besides the obvious. It feels that Schwartz let his personal feelings for the actors influence their storylines at some point, so it's no surprise that Marissa 's character was going nowhere while everyone else had growth. But, also, it was his first tv show, and it was pretty young so its not surprising
@@alexism-brewer7829 I agree, I feel like she was left to fend for herself in an adult world, working adult hours and like nobody was really looking out for her. I wasn’t there but whenever I read her interviews or I hear her comment on that time in video interviews, it gives off that vibe.
I love how open, transparent and truthful Mindy and Rachel are (and the guests, with that openness incited by the hosts) when speaking about their experiences on set and how it has been for them in the industry without ever denying the experiences others may have had. Adam has great insight and a very open, refreshing take on it too. You can tell they are real pros, real actors that enjoy the process, respect and value the crew and handle themselves as normal human beings too.
Adam Brody is honestly so wonderfully delightful and adorable. What a gem - and incredible actor, huge fan. So happy you had him on, very much enjoyed these two episodes and I don’t think I’ve ever clicked as fast as I did when I saw part 2 was available lol
My teen crush and favorite onscreen couple! I loved how nostalgic this conversation was and how humble Adam is. He refuses to take credit for being such a giant role in this series. This is such a nostalgic era that just gives off so many youthful vibes that I never thought I would appreciate so much.
Oh gosh, he's so charming ( and smart andsympathetic) ! Thank you so much for bringing him, i hope he knows how much it means for all the fans. This was pretty fun and real and they way he spoke abut the Mischa situasion was thoughtful and respectful. I wish we'll see him again. And by the way i totally understand Rachel following him around lol
2 & a half hours of AWESOMENESS! Thank you Adam Brody for coming on and just being honest about it all, loved it. Rachel and Melinda are saints for creating this for us all😌❤️
What a great episode! Adam Brody is excellent and such a genuine, down to earth guy. I hope Mischa decides to come on and share her story, most of her castmates are sympathetic towards her and have nice things to say. Its also clear Melinda likes her. They need to reboot this show asap. A way to deal with Marissa's death is completely pretend it never happened and just create a new timeline, like what they did with Roseanne and also Will and Grace. Another way is by introducing a long lost sister (played by Mischa again) given up for adoption by either Kirsten or Julie (They were both with Jimmy). Lastly she was in a coma after the accident and everything after the crash was just a dream. Who cares just bring them all back!
This was simply the best. I agree wholeheartedly on Brody's assessment of the Mischa situation. Hope so much he will come back again- the 3 of them felt so natural together.
We regularly did OC nights with snacks watching episode after episode. I love the show the jokes every character and felt so familiar with you guys. I mean I don’t know you but the show gave me the feeling that I did. So I’m very happy to see you all here again. Its like seeing an old friend after a long time. Sending love from Europe ❤️ miss you guys
Really cool to have this two part Adam Brody episode. I remember when this first started some thought he wouldn't show up for the podcast, glad he did a long enough episode to split into two parts. Appreciate his honestly on everything.
ADAM BRODY JUST TAUGHT ME THE WORD MERITOCRACY...ADAM, THANK YOU, Also - you are a Fantastic drummer, you deserve more credit for that. This was so refreshing. Usually when celebs talk there can be disappointment in the listener's expectations...but everyone on the OC Cast, and especially Brody, has EXCEEDED expectations...he is truly a smart man, multi-talented, and sincere. What a gem. Seems like such a Good person to befriend. Sigh!
The first part is already on track to be the most viewed video on the channel as it got 144k views in one week. Let's see how well week 2 does as it's just so good to see Adam talking to Rachel and Melinda and sharing their memories together. I say this every week but I really wish these interviews would become a live stream one day so we can interact with Rach and Melinda live and ask them questions and donate to them in the chat.
yep I noticed that too. I have noticed that it seems ike Rachel still had a little flame for him maybe, the way she's been talking about him throughout the podcast and then even in this episode pulling out the old pictures of them as a couple and going down memory lane ^ ^ she's single, but he's not though lol. It's sweet, nd honest but also a lil awkward sometimes at the same time XD
FINALLY!!! I just need to watch your faces when you are all talking, takes it to a whole next level! And thanks for making it a two part deal, Adam Brody totally justifies the "hassle" (I mean pleasure).
Like everyone, I was looking forward to Adam being on the podcast and he did not disappoint. He was so open about his experience and also so funny. I really hope he comes back to do an episode in season 2 as well, but if that's all we get that's cool too.
If it’s not too awkward, I hope one day you guys have Leighton Meester on. Summer and Blair went from being the “best friend” to taking over the show and becoming fan favorites & id love to hear them talk about that
I love how he talks about his personal experience with the show! The fact that he is still thankful for what the show meant and brought to him back then, but holds himself accountable for the things he regrets having done shows how mature he is
"You had a crush on Olivia and I was like so mad, but I had a crush on her, too, so it was like 'I get it'" - I'm just saying, you guys... After this podcast ends, Rachel needs to come up with another one (maybe for Hart or Dixie), cause man... This woman is incredibly funny! 😂
Adam what a true gentleman for once again defending Mischa using the right words and he even tried to put himself in her shoes like acknowledging the bullying women like Britney or Lindsey went through from grown ass men and like he said she’s not a monster she vas 17 years old new to Hollywood and wasn’t protected on set hopefully they can reconnect with Mischa in the future 🤍🙏🏽 also I don’t blame him for that interview with Andy Cohen the host himself loves the drama and tried before to start some feud with the cast of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and tried once again wanted some nonexistent dramas but whatever he’s a douche 🙄 Anyways Adam is such breath of fresh air mad respect love his works over the years I hope he will come back on the podcast if possible 🙌🏽
this just makes me so happy, the oc is my all time favorite teen drama and gosh i listened and rewatched the first part of the adam podcast at least 5x already lol, the show will always have a special place in my heart
My favorite blooper/improv is when Seth is asking if people think Ryan pushed Johnny off the cliff. "He didn't push him.. They think Ryan pushed him? Could he have done more? That's debatable.... Is he a butterfingers?"
I genuinely believe that Mischa will appear on this podcast. Rachel has been much more empathetic to her situation and issues with The OC over the past couple of months.
What an incredible episode! Part 1 was excellent as well, but this episode in particular was so touching and just how honest and real Adam was about both the good and bad times was so refreshing and interesting to listen to! I loved it 😊
How is no one talking about the picture Rachel showed at 1:27:23?!! "You and I dressed up as Bennifer... and they're back 20 years later" I can't be the only one who thought she was kiiiiind of flirting with him or like hinting at something 🙈 anyways I LOVED this episode and feel like we need more two part episodes in the future 👏
And it seems to me that she didn't talked to Melinda about it beforehand. She kept it secret and ended the whole episode with that pretty loaded photo/message. Seems to me she surprised both Adam and Melinda at times during the whole podcast with her reminiscing.
@@kareeneeta I think so too! They seemed very surprised by some of the things she said. Maybe she did it because she knew that that's what the people wanted...
@@mariesophie5053 Yeah, maybe she did it because of that! And if not, and she's hitting on him for real, I love that Adam didn't fell for it. It does tell a lot about his character and the love and respect he has for Leighton, which makes him so much more awesome. He seems like a great person and partner too!
7 months late to the party, so apologies 🤣 I don’t necessarily think it’s 100% important they don’t go into the episode. The fact that Adam went into so much detail about backstage stories and stories from his life etc was very interesting. Fantastic podcast keep it up ladies
No entiendo los comentarios de la gente que se molesta de que Rachel recuerde su relación con Adam o momentos específicos de la relación!! Están hablando de la serie, la grabaron mientras fueron pareja en la mayoría del tiempo... obviamente que tienen muchos recuerdos juntos y recuerdos de su relación, sería ilógico hablar de la serie sin tocar su relación!!! Además siendo tanto pareja en la serie como en la vida real. Yo creo que ella muy linda recordo muchos detalles, él sonrió, no estaba incómodo y super lindo recordó sobre sus perros y él regalo que le dio a ella.... Me parecen super lindos, obvio se deben de tener un gran cariño y respeto y no es inapropiado conversar acerca de eso
Adam Brody today remembers me the same person as Seth Cohen was between 2003/2007, it's a fun feeling listening to him, it's just the type of person you would recognize on friends you had in the school, bars or in the beach in any part of the world.
They should do like a whole reunion episode on this podcast. Bring Ben in, Mischa, with Adam, Rachel and Melinda. Would be nice to hear all their perspectives about the set and just the show in general
I love how Adam gave some constructive criticism in these two parts. He’s so good! My favourite character in The O.C. Him and Summer. But I remember that in Season 4, he didn’t seem as present on the screen as before. I took it that maybe Marissa’s death changed him. And now we learn it wasn’t exactly that… anyway, I love the show so much. I was growing up with it and it’s a really amazing piece if work.
Adam is so insightful and the conversation just flows so well. Such a great listen, thank you guys for doing this, i grew up with the show and listening to this podcast just brings back a lot of fun childhood and early adolescence memories
I really hope we get Olivia Wilde on, cause I feel she could also be a different set of eyes w/ some insightful commentary. And especially since she had a lot of scenes with Mischa.
yes, i definitely think/hope Olivia will be on. she took a picture with Rachel like 3 years ago, so it seems they are still friendly and would be possible to get in touch with her :)
@@NELLISZ1 Oh yes! That does sound like she could possibly be on, that would be awesome, I always enjoy her interviews and her poise, I think it would make for great episode. Hopefully Rachel and Melinda see this, a two parter would be great 🙌🏽✨ Good looking out 👍🏽
I like Adam's take on Mischa Barton's experiences which may not be directly tied to the show, but on how society treated young women in her position. Yes, they choose the life of acting and all the stuff that comes with it. But as a whole, we do have a habit of taking young stars, especially women and tearing them apart. Look at the reaction to young women like Naomi Osaka, who publicly try to express their state of mind and then grown people, especially men, just crap all over them for doing so. It's such a tough business and is made all the tougher by the vicious commentary dished out with nary a thought for the impact on the topic of discussion.
Let's be honest, we were all pretty much done with it at the fourth season. It's very sad cause it was one of the best shows ever for me and it just felt like a betrayal so I still don't feel the same love for the last season. It's like a whole different show for me.
@@sofiehultgren I loved season 4, it's my favourite next to the 1st one. And I love Taylor! She was amazing and so good for Ryan. Much better than Marissa who was never ending drama.
@@green_tea9170 season 4 was so bad and Taylor was an awful character. Marissa get so much hate she dont deserve. In My country everyone stopped watching the OC when she died. I could not watch season 4 bcos Taylor was so awful so I had to turned off the tv. She and Ryan was a joke
Wow! First of all I love all of your episodes with directors, producers, actors, stylists and editors. I love movies and television and I learn so much from each episode and each guest - and of course from both of you, Rachel and Melinda. This episode was so unique it taught me so much about the film industry from an actors' p.o.v. It really emphasized how the media always wants to twist certain comments from celebrities. There's always more or sometimes nothing to the story. This one was very natural and organic (...well all of your conversations are, which I love). It was so nice to hear you address some of the headlines and reflect on Mischas' comments in a respectful, mature and serious way. But also so interesting hearing Adam talk about Tate's comment with humor and in a casual way. I really appreciated how honest Adam was about his experience and growth! And I loved how open, and hilarious Rachel was ( as always). Melinda, I love your cute facts and admire your research skills. I adored the love and respect between you all. And just in general I love how down to earth, fun and optimistic you both are - that's definitely something I take away from this. I always look forward to Tuesdays. And what a great episode to have Adam on. Of course I hope to see him again in a later episode or season, but first I'm crossing fingers for an episode with Ben, soon! And hopefully Mischa will be able to join as well and tell her story. Again thank you for this podcast and much love from Sophia, a huge fan from Denmark.
The mystery with Theresa's baby came back at the end of season 3. Kirsten saw her with a toddler (that looked a LOT like Ryan) at the airport and Ryan met up with Theresa. She said it was Eddie's baby and they even had a paternity test taken. But the question remains, was Theresa still protecting Ryan and just made up a lie about the test?
Came here to say this. They really need to just marathon the entire series, but it's funny sometimes when they're as surprised by the story lines as we were when we first watched.
Well this episode made me like Adam more. I always thought he was unappreciating of this show and what they all made. He always seemed to think of himself above them all. But this made me feel differently about him.
Rachel about Kelly "I take her down too. I mean, they are all lined up" 🤣🤣🤣 that energy of her old self getting defensive of Adam during this whole episode, hahaha.
I'm so happy Rachel got to go to Vegas to film the show back then! She's great in that episode! And, yes, it was Vegas... Not Miami. Summer was in Newport, with Zach, when the guys went to Miami lol
OMG I’m smiling so much already at 5 minutes in, listening to Rachel and Adam discuss ‘The Vegas’ 😭😭 im honestly like mind blown I feel like I’m watching Seth and Summer vibing together on the show 😭💖😱
I thought his assessment of the Mischa situation was very respectful, thoughtful, and sympathetic--probably the best comments we've heard about it so far. He doesn't speak negatively about the show, set, cast, or crew in any way (although he smartly points out the issues with having underage actors), but he also does his best to see it from her perspective and understand where she was coming from in the context of the 2000s paparazzi/"it girl" craze.

On WWHL you can tell he was a bit annoyed when Andy asked how much of a diva Mischa was
@@karismalovesglitter I mean, who wouldn't be with the way it was asked. It's clear Andy doesn't know them well enough to be commenting on it, he just wanted gossip and drama.
Adam called it gross in this podcast, and he's 100% right
He answers it better than Rachel
Yeah Rachel’s answers regarding mischa are always disappointing and mean
Absolutely. I thought what he said about the narrative of ‘you were the problem so now you’ve been killed off’ was so insightful. That would have been awful to deal with for Mischa in the proceeding years.

Brody's impression of Marissa saying "So you can't have sushi, and you can't have alcohol" was hilarious! 😂
Rachel and Brody totally clueless of the fact that Theresa keeps the baby and that THAT decision led to so much stuff for everyone is beyond hilarious!
i know! like, the way the season 1 finale, making an iconic tv history, is based on this and they have NOOO idea, lmao.

They are amazing
He got more comfortable after time went on, and seemed more comfortable talking about their previous relationship.

@@jackdennis3511 That was him being bored though. He said so himself, he was so done with the show and the role, he would just do the bare minimum.
That’s just him being more seasoned now but in reality he couldn’t have done it any better. He did the role perfect every episode.
I am dying at Rachel and Adam talking about the dogs they used to have :D:D:D I don't want this episode to end

Yes and I expected him to, he seems like an understanding good guy
Rachel looks at him with so much love in her heart it’s very evident. It actually makes me sad to watch, I wish they could have made it.
Me too even tho I do like Adam and his wife too
Yes. I think it's obvious he loves and respects her too
They dated in real life?
@@pinonXOyeah they dated for years after working with each other for a few episodes
Considering the length of the first part, I thought this one would be kinda short, too... But I'm glad I was wrong: almost 1 hour 30 min of awesomeness! Thank you Rachel, Melinda and, of course, Adam for this! ❤️
Felt like 20 minutes. 🤣
Having a podcast I would assume, is a huge learning curve. I have to say Mindy has really grown from the first podcast episode. Imo she is naturally good at it but now she is excelling at it. 👏
She really is great
She’s a fantastic host!
She really knows how to direct the conversation in the right direction! She's great!
Mindy is great! I really can not say the same about Rachel… she is like careless about everything about the show, so not quite sure why she is part of the podcast since she seems like could not care less about the show…
@@anllelafrank9590 Probably $$$
"well, it's been lucrative" 😂😂😂
Love how open and honest Adam is about season 4 and what was going on behind the scenes.
I loved what he said about the show, his behavior in the last season, Mischa and how her and her characters were treated: he was so honest, open and transparent! 👏 The only "complaint" I might have is that I would've liked you all to comment the episode more, it was a great one and I think it needed more space.
Now I wish we get a 2 parter for Ben McKenzie as well: he deserves it just like Adam did!
Help Adam’s awkward laugh when Rachel was talking about how the type of girlfriend she was😭😭😂😂
LMAOO IK
Timestamp pls ?

The way he assessed the Mischa situation is so accurate. Plus, Rachel has made it clear that she's super close to Josh Schwartz and Schwartz himself has said the Seth's character was basically him on screen so it's not a coincidence I think, that their storyline ended up being the relationship everyone cheered for and things worked out for them. Must suck, from Mischa's pov, to see everyone else's characters get these great character arcs and her being stuck in the endless drama, I wouldn't have felt comfortable either 😐
Mischa was 16. Everyone else was 20. Of course it will not be a wonderful atmosphere. She was a kid trying to be with adults. Her parents/agent/assistant/publicist are the blame there. They were supposed to protect her.
@@alexism-brewer7829 I mean, besides the obvious. It feels that Schwartz let his personal feelings for the actors influence their storylines at some point, so it's no surprise that Marissa 's character was going nowhere while everyone else had growth. But, also, it was his first tv show, and it was pretty young so its not surprising
@@alexism-brewer7829 I agree, I feel like she was left to fend for herself in an adult world, working adult hours and like nobody was really looking out for her. I wasn’t there but whenever I read her interviews or I hear her comment on that time in video interviews, it gives off that vibe.
Rachel is SO iconic that she managed to go to Vegas! Love that!
I love how relaxed they are in the second half of this conversation, it translates and pulls us into it.
Whoa Adam spoke so eloquently on the mischa subject. Like, really nailed it, and opened a new conversation. Hopefully mischa hears / sees this.
I love how open, transparent and truthful Mindy and Rachel are (and the guests, with that openness incited by the hosts) when speaking about their experiences on set and how it has been for them in the industry without ever denying the experiences others may have had. Adam has great insight and a very open, refreshing take on it too. You can tell they are real pros, real actors that enjoy the process, respect and value the crew and handle themselves as normal human beings too.
Adam Brody is honestly so wonderfully delightful and adorable. What a gem - and incredible actor, huge fan. So happy you had him on, very much enjoyed these two episodes and I don’t think I’ve ever clicked as fast as I did when I saw part 2 was available lol
Rachel's awkward comments always make me giggle, and I feel like I'm not alone, cause I often make awkward comments and share a bit too much hahahh
lol same
My teen crush and favorite onscreen couple! I loved how nostalgic this conversation was and how humble Adam is. He refuses to take credit for being such a giant role in this series. This is such a nostalgic era that just gives off so many youthful vibes that I never thought I would appreciate so much.
Oh gosh, he's so charming ( and smart andsympathetic) ! Thank you so much for bringing him, i hope he knows how much it means for all the fans. This was pretty fun and real and they way he spoke abut the Mischa situasion was thoughtful and respectful. I wish we'll see him again. And by the way i totally understand Rachel following him around lol
2 & a half hours of AWESOMENESS! Thank you Adam Brody for coming on and just being honest about it all, loved it. Rachel and Melinda are saints for creating this for us all😌❤️
What a great episode! Adam Brody is excellent and such a genuine, down to earth guy. I hope Mischa decides to come on and share her story, most of her castmates are sympathetic towards her and have nice things to say. Its also clear Melinda likes her. They need to reboot this show asap. A way to deal with Marissa's death is completely pretend it never happened and just create a new timeline, like what they did with Roseanne and also Will and Grace. Another way is by introducing a long lost sister (played by Mischa again) given up for adoption by either Kirsten or Julie (They were both with Jimmy). Lastly she was in a coma after the accident and everything after the crash was just a dream. Who cares just bring them all back!
Curls, Bagels and the sound of music - literally the dream man.
The way she still looks at him
yep I saw that too. And going down memory lane about the two of them quite often ^ ^
Well, she also put extra make up on ... and if you do not beleive me - watch the other episodes and compare.
She's still got a soft spot for him, they didn't really talk about the episode but it's a brilliant trip down memory lane
This was simply the best. I agree wholeheartedly on Brody's assessment of the Mischa situation. Hope so much he will come back again- the 3 of them felt so natural together.
We regularly did OC nights with snacks watching episode after episode. I love the show the jokes every character and felt so familiar with you guys. I mean I don’t know you but the show gave me the feeling that I did. So I’m very happy to see you all here again. Its like seeing an old friend after a long time. Sending love from Europe ❤️ miss you guys
Really cool to have this two part Adam Brody episode. I remember when this first started some thought he wouldn't show up for the podcast, glad he did a long enough episode to split into two parts. Appreciate his honestly on everything.
ADAM BRODY JUST TAUGHT ME THE WORD MERITOCRACY...ADAM, THANK YOU, Also - you are a Fantastic drummer, you deserve more credit for that. This was so refreshing. Usually when celebs talk there can be disappointment in the listener's expectations...but everyone on the OC Cast, and especially Brody, has EXCEEDED expectations...he is truly a smart man, multi-talented, and sincere. What a gem. Seems like such a Good person to befriend. Sigh!
The first part is already on track to be the most viewed video on the channel as it got 144k views in one week. Let's see how well week 2 does as it's just so good to see Adam talking to Rachel and Melinda and sharing their memories together. I say this every week but I really wish these interviews would become a live stream one day so we can interact with Rach and Melinda live and ask them questions and donate to them in the chat.
I loved how honest Rachel was at 8:09 but he seemed awkard by that comment haha
yep I noticed that too. I have noticed that it seems ike Rachel still had a little flame for him maybe, the way she's been talking about him throughout the podcast and then even in this episode pulling out the old pictures of them as a couple and going down memory lane ^ ^ she's single, but he's not though lol. It's sweet, nd honest but also a lil awkward sometimes at the same time XD
FINALLY!!! I just need to watch your faces when you are all talking, takes it to a whole next level! And thanks for making it a two part deal, Adam Brody totally justifies the "hassle" (I mean pleasure).
Like everyone, I was looking forward to Adam being on the podcast and he did not disappoint. He was so open about his experience and also so funny. I really hope he comes back to do an episode in season 2 as well, but if that's all we get that's cool too.
If it’s not too awkward, I hope one day you guys have Leighton Meester on. Summer and Blair went from being the “best friend” to taking over the show and becoming fan favorites & id love to hear them talk about that
@Shea AmandaI never thought Adam would be on so a girl can dream lol
Exactly how I’ve thought of their trajectories on their shows. The same thing with Brooke from One Tree Hill.
I love how he talks about his personal experience with the show! The fact that he is still thankful for what the show meant and brought to him back then, but holds himself accountable for the things he regrets having done shows how mature he is
"You had a crush on Olivia and I was like so mad, but I had a crush on her, too, so it was like 'I get it'" - I'm just saying, you guys... After this podcast ends, Rachel needs to come up with another one (maybe for Hart or Dixie), cause man... This woman is incredibly funny! 😂
I would LOVE a Hart of Dixie one. I think even more than the o.c podcast. It's such an amazing show.
Adam what a true gentleman for once again defending Mischa using the right words and he even tried to put himself in her shoes like acknowledging the bullying women like Britney or Lindsey went through from grown ass men and like he said she’s not a monster she vas 17 years old new to Hollywood and wasn’t protected on set hopefully they can reconnect with Mischa in the future 🤍🙏🏽
also I don’t blame him for that interview with Andy Cohen the host himself loves the drama and tried before to start some feud with the cast of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and tried once again wanted some nonexistent dramas but whatever he’s a douche 🙄
Anyways Adam is such breath of fresh air
mad respect love his works over the years
I hope he will come back on the podcast if possible 🙌🏽
this just makes me so happy, the oc is my all time favorite teen drama and gosh i listened and rewatched the first part of the adam podcast at least 5x already lol, the show will always have a special place in my heart
My favorite blooper/improv is when Seth is asking if people think Ryan pushed Johnny off the cliff. "He didn't push him.. They think Ryan pushed him? Could he have done more? That's debatable.... Is he a butterfingers?"
I always said "Hell yeah he pushes him and he'd do it again! Chinnnnnoooooo!!!"
Thank you SO much, Rachel and Melinda. I’m 33 from Italy and This literally bring me back to childhood. Can’t wait to see Ben Gibbard next week!
anyone else suddenly felt a bit empty after Adam said bye? as if the show ended all over again, lol 💔
Princess sparkle in the background in Rachel's room!! She must have kept her as memorabilia hahaha 🥰🥰🥰
Best episodes by far, so much more actual information comes from him unlike some of the other ones.
This is MY FAVORITE episode EVER.
thank you Melinda, thank you Rachel and thanks Adam ❤❤
I genuinely believe that Mischa will appear on this podcast. Rachel has been much more empathetic to her situation and issues with The OC over the past couple of months.
These last two episodes are my favorite ones, great show guys.
What an incredible episode! Part 1 was excellent as well, but this episode in particular was so touching and just how honest and real Adam was about both the good and bad times was so refreshing and interesting to listen to! I loved it 😊
How is no one talking about the picture Rachel showed at 1:27:23?!! "You and I dressed up as Bennifer... and they're back 20 years later" I can't be the only one who thought she was kiiiiind of flirting with him or like hinting at something 🙈 anyways I LOVED this episode and feel like we need more two part episodes in the future 👏
And it seems to me that she didn't talked to Melinda about it beforehand. She kept it secret and ended the whole episode with that pretty loaded photo/message. Seems to me she surprised both Adam and Melinda at times during the whole podcast with her reminiscing.
She straight up shot a shot. Shes crazy and i love it.
@@kareeneeta I think so too! They seemed very surprised by some of the things she said. Maybe she did it because she knew that that's what the people wanted...
@@jozigalm8159 same!! No disrespect to Adam's marriage, but this episode definitely got me in my feels...
@@mariesophie5053 Yeah, maybe she did it because of that! And if not, and she's hitting on him for real, I love that Adam didn't fell for it. It does tell a lot about his character and the love and respect he has for Leighton, which makes him so much more awesome. He seems like a great person and partner too!
Thank god Rachel begged Josh to send her to Vegas, this episode was so epic
This is my favorite episode so far! You should have Adam on more often. I love your stories. You guys are all hilarious!
Just finished the OC for the first time last week…so happy to continue with these podcasts ❤
7 months late to the party, so apologies 🤣 I don’t necessarily think it’s 100% important they don’t go into the episode. The fact that Adam went into so much detail about backstage stories and stories from his life etc was very interesting. Fantastic podcast keep it up ladies
No entiendo los comentarios de la gente que se molesta de que Rachel recuerde su relación con Adam o momentos específicos de la relación!! Están hablando de la serie, la grabaron mientras fueron pareja en la mayoría del tiempo... obviamente que tienen muchos recuerdos juntos y recuerdos de su relación, sería ilógico hablar de la serie sin tocar su relación!!! Además siendo tanto pareja en la serie como en la vida real.
Yo creo que ella muy linda recordo muchos detalles, él sonrió, no estaba incómodo y super lindo recordó sobre sus perros y él regalo que le dio a ella....
Me parecen super lindos, obvio se deben de tener un gran cariño y respeto y no es inapropiado conversar acerca de eso
We love Brody. Now we want Ben!
Adam Brody today remembers me the same person as Seth Cohen was between 2003/2007, it's a fun feeling listening to him, it's just the type of person you would recognize on friends you had in the school, bars or in the beach in any part of the world.
They should do like a whole reunion episode on this podcast. Bring Ben in, Mischa, with Adam, Rachel and Melinda. Would be nice to hear all their perspectives about the set and just the show in general
Favorite series man, remember watching this after school everyday. good times.
I love how Adam gave some constructive criticism in these two parts. He’s so good! My favourite character in The O.C. Him and Summer. But I remember that in Season 4, he didn’t seem as present on the screen as before. I took it that maybe Marissa’s death changed him. And now we learn it wasn’t exactly that…
anyway, I love the show so much. I was growing up with it and it’s a really amazing piece if work.
I wouldn't want a reboot, but would definitely be down for a one time/one off Chrismukkah special maybe?
Adam is so insightful and the conversation just flows so well. Such a great listen, thank you guys for doing this, i grew up with the show and listening to this podcast just brings back a lot of fun childhood and early adolescence memories
I really hope we get Olivia Wilde on, cause I feel she could also be a different set of eyes w/ some insightful commentary. And especially since she had a lot of scenes with Mischa.
yes, i definitely think/hope Olivia will be on. she took a picture with Rachel like 3 years ago, so it seems they are still friendly and would be possible to get in touch with her :)
@@NELLISZ1 Oh yes! That does sound like she could possibly be on, that would be awesome, I always enjoy her interviews and her poise, I think it would make for great episode. Hopefully Rachel and Melinda see this, a two parter would be great 🙌🏽✨ Good looking out 👍🏽
And what a set of eyes she has. 😍
@@TheIslandDivision uh Most definitely agree 😵💫❤️
It would have been hilarious if at the end when he was saying goodbye Adam said "Well guys its been lucrative"
I like Adam's take on Mischa Barton's experiences which may not be directly tied to the show, but on how society treated young women in her position. Yes, they choose the life of acting and all the stuff that comes with it. But as a whole, we do have a habit of taking young stars, especially women and tearing them apart. Look at the reaction to young women like Naomi Osaka, who publicly try to express their state of mind and then grown people, especially men, just crap all over them for doing so. It's such a tough business and is made all the tougher by the vicious commentary dished out with nary a thought for the impact on the topic of discussion.
Seth and Summer are my favorite characters on the show. So happy to see them again. 😍
Let's be honest, we were all pretty much done with it at the fourth season. It's very sad cause it was one of the best shows ever for me and it just felt like a betrayal so I still don't feel the same love for the last season. It's like a whole different show for me.
The episode where they were in alternate reality was one of the best episodes of all time and it was in the fourth season
4th season was my favourite. So I definitely disagree
Season 4 was so bad and Taylor was a joke. At least One three Hill can give you Good New characters. I dont know Anyone here that like season 4.
@@sofiehultgren I loved season 4, it's my favourite next to the 1st one. And I love Taylor! She was amazing and so good for Ryan. Much better than Marissa who was never ending drama.
@@green_tea9170 season 4 was so bad and Taylor was an awful character. Marissa get so much hate she dont deserve. In My country everyone stopped watching the OC when she died. I could not watch season 4 bcos Taylor was so awful so I had to turned off the tv. She and Ryan was a joke
Adam just spoke to my indie band soul in regards to radio head. I feel complete. 🙏🏽
they're all so human, like refreshingly genuine and aware. absolutely love this podcast.
Thank you Adam Brody for being so raw, honest, & open on the podcast ❤❤❤
Ps. I watched Jennifer's Body for the 1st time on Sunday 😈
I love Adam Brody. He’s such a great actor
Wow! First of all I love all of your episodes with directors, producers, actors, stylists and editors. I love movies and television and I learn so much from each episode and each guest - and of course from both of you, Rachel and Melinda. This episode was so unique it taught me so much about the film industry from an actors' p.o.v. It really emphasized how the media always wants to twist certain comments from celebrities. There's always more or sometimes nothing to the story. This one was very natural and organic (...well all of your conversations are, which I love). It was so nice to hear you address some of the headlines and reflect on Mischas' comments in a respectful, mature and serious way. But also so interesting hearing Adam talk about Tate's comment with humor and in a casual way. I really appreciated how honest Adam was about his experience and growth! And I loved how open, and hilarious Rachel was ( as always). Melinda, I love your cute facts and admire your research skills. I adored the love and respect between you all. And just in general I love how down to earth, fun and optimistic you both are - that's definitely something I take away from this. I always look forward to Tuesdays. And what a great episode to have Adam on. Of course I hope to see him again in a later episode or season, but first I'm crossing fingers for an episode with Ben, soon! And hopefully Mischa will be able to join as well and tell her story. Again thank you for this podcast and much love from Sophia, a huge fan from Denmark.
Great, great, great episode! Adam Brody seems so lovely and down to earth 🥰 I'd love to see Adam and Ben on the podcast together at some point 💘
The mystery with Theresa's baby came back at the end of season 3. Kirsten saw her with a toddler (that looked a LOT like Ryan) at the airport and Ryan met up with Theresa. She said it was Eddie's baby and they even had a paternity test taken. But the question remains, was Theresa still protecting Ryan and just made up a lie about the test?
Reboot?
Came here to say this. They really need to just marathon the entire series, but it's funny sometimes when they're as surprised by the story lines as we were when we first watched.
@@twerk182 yeah I think it's more interesting that way, and Rachel remembering close to nothing with Melinda having watched more makes it balanced :)
Lot of respect for how Adam answered the Mischa question.
Well this episode made me like Adam more. I always thought he was unappreciating of this show and what they all made. He always seemed to think of himself above them all. But this made me feel differently about him.
Rachel about Kelly "I take her down too. I mean, they are all lined up" 🤣🤣🤣
that energy of her old self getting defensive of Adam during this whole episode, hahaha.
After this, I wonder if the writers based Summer's rage blackouts on Rachel's personality 🤭😂
Love love love everything about this episode. Hoping he comes back with Peter Gallagher.
Adam is the reason why The OC was so popular.
I'm so happy Rachel got to go to Vegas to film the show back then! She's great in that episode! And, yes, it was Vegas... Not Miami. Summer was in Newport, with Zach, when the guys went to Miami lol
Who here thinks Adam is the most underrated actor? 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you guys for coming together after all this time!
Whoooo! Y'all are such a force for getting Adam & his sweet thoughts!
I love love love this part. I wish ben and mischa participate the podcast.
Adam is so wise 😍 very great episode, thank you guys ❤ we've missed you so much!!!
This is sooo good!!! I love seeing you guys together again! ❤️🙌 -thxoc
OMG I’m smiling so much already at 5 minutes in, listening to Rachel and Adam discuss ‘The Vegas’ 😭😭 im honestly like mind blown I feel like I’m watching Seth and Summer vibing together on the show 😭💖😱
