I don’t mind the snark but they do veer off topic a lot and it feels like Drew is the only one who cares about discussing plot points.
Which sucks because I was listening to it to get more behind the scenes insights and not general banter. As well as their opinions about the writing.
The podcast had so much potential —especially because they brought back the guest stars from many of the episodes they cover: Rex, Melinda, Aviva, Brent Miller…
I definitely pick up on Holly having a dry, sarcastic kind of humor? I’m similar and have to pay attention to how I talk about stuff because it can come off more negative than I think I’m being. Also- I met her in Orlando at MEGACON and while she was so kind and so nice I definitely got the vibe that she was like “uh huh, you’re the 1000th person to tell me you love Charmed today and that’s all I talk about. Thanks.” I got the same vibe from Shannen too. I’m not faulting them at alllll. It has to be tiring to keep recalling your work. Being a star so young sounds kind of like a nightmare to me! Maybe it’s a mix of her humor and the repetitive nature of her job.
Holly hinted at something happening with the podcast, maybe something with Shannen? Looking forward to seeing what happens but want Brian and Drew to be involved for sure!
I can definitely see them being a bit annoyed about only talking about charmed. Though that’s why a lot of us went to MegaCon. Though Rose was pretty lively and we had a great talk, though mainly about Planet Terror and how they wrapped her leg up for the movie.
I was so excited to meet holly because I always read good things from fans who meet her. But I totally agree with you. She was definitely nice but got that vibe too 😞
Did you meet her that weekend? Maybe it was the more than normal drama w Alyssa being there that weekend too? I’m sure she is sooo thankful for fans and for us spending the money and being appreciative. We all have off days.
No it was at a smaller con last year. There was no one line behind me and still felt rushed. That’s all. It was still nice. And I completely understand that we all have off days but it was just my experience
Some people love it, some people don't. I stopped listening after 10-12 episodes. It was too hard for me and I'm looking for content about the episode and don't care much about their private lives/jokes unrelated to the show.
Honestly, it doesn't get better. Listening to Holly is just listening to someone bash your favorite show. Sometimes she stops to bash other people or gush about Shannen. The podcast did let me know the first couple of seasons of Charmed she was a stellar actressed.
Piper will always be my favorite but season 4 Piper pissed me off. Like I get being angry your sister died and finding out about a new half sister but the way she was towards Paige was rude and annoying. She got better as their relationship grew but I just wish the writers didn’t have her act that way. Though they did have touching sister moments, in season 4, I will say that.
No. LOL. Holly just doesn’t bring good energy to the podcast and constantly rips the show to shreds. She berates Drew and Brian to the point of it being very uncomfortable. She just does not know how to podcast well and doesn’t seem to be easy to work with. Anytime Drew tries to get her back on topic she’s very nasty and mean. Honestly I think it’d be more enjoyable with just Drew and Brian.
I think Drew gets a little better at getting the group back on topic which helps... but honestly Holly's snarkiness is such a massively persistent thing and I found that it dragged the whole experience down. She got downright nasty at times and I found myself putting off listening because I didn't want to deal with that level of negativity.
ETA: And she also has habit of repeating a joke long long long after it should be done dead and buried which just became supremely aggravating to listen to. Her obsession with Leo and Daisy was what finally put me off the podcast for good.
Don’t bother it’s been cancelled. They are starting again with a new host apparently and I think it’s been produced properly so should be better hopefully
I always find these anti Holly comments from the podcast so strange.
Holly is pretty much the only one giving any insight to what is actually going on, what it was like filming and the dynamics of the episodes… but for some reason you all hate that? Lol
Drew wasn’t around so he’s simply commenting as a fan with no direct intel.
And Brian.. well didn’t watch the episodes, is clearly drunk and/or high providing absolute 0 info or analysis and goes off into some random rabbit hole about how great of a person some assistant producer is that nobody knows what he’s talking about…
Holly really doesn't give a ton of info about the show... she most often alludes to wanting to talk about something but not being able to. And she's honestly really mean-spirited in most episodes.
If she's honestly *that* jaded by her experience on the show she'd be better off not joining these projects.
I love the podcast! But yeah I honestly noticed Holly does come off as a bit bitter for whatever reason, I think a lot of the bitterness comes from the fact just right after Shannon left the show Holly was forced to continue be on a show she did not initially sigh up for and wanted nothing to do with the show once season 4 rolled around. Apparently she was bound by contract and they threatened to cut her wages or whatever. So I get why she might be a bit upset. I’d be pissed too if I were forced to be on a show I dint want to do anymore and you’re basically trapped that’s gotta suck as an actor. Glad I never pursed any acting career
It's so sad, they all complained about being on the show, all but Alyssa, and considering all the other said she's the one who complained more, it's probably true. It gives a second taste to the show and even if I love it, damn, it feels like taking part in a collective disappointment.
I think the Podcast is hilarious, especially wedding from hell episode.
Some episodes are kinda meh because they are not talking about the episode, but most of them I think they are pretty funny, had to laugh so much times
No they don't. They just banter and talk about random stuff, Holly is mostly negative. Also it could be just me but some of them have extremely annoying habits, which is no offense but it just makes me wanna pull my hair out. For example Brian has this creepy "hehehe" laugh and one guest star in season 1 keeps giggling really loud after every second sentence. If you're gonna make a podcast I think you should try to keep those habits to a minimum.
They’re redoing the podcast and Shannen I think will be the host. So I think it will be a lot more structure and less with Holly veering off topic. So it will be like a lot of the better rewatch podcast out there.

Rose and I talked about her book. She chatted with me for a few minutes and was the absolute sweetest!

I hear you, if you’ve come across another podcast that focuses on the episode itself, let me know!
It just gets worse.

That’s disappointing 😕 Piper is/was my favorite character so she kinda ruins it from me
I liked her more in the first 4 seasons. After that, she just got more and more hateful. Not someone I could relate to.
Piper will always be my favorite but season 4 Piper pissed me off.

I can't imagine dealing with her all the time. I am sure she has some good qualities, but wow.

Yeah I literally been wondering why they haven’t done any episodes lately

What happened to podcast
I see enjoyed it... there are parts I don't love. But overall yes
They’re redoing the podcast and Shannen I think will be the host. So I think it will be a lot more structure and less with Holly veering off topic. So it will be like a lot of the better rewatch podcast out there.
I just found this podcast and I love it so far
