SPECIAL ENCORE EPISODE: THE O.C. Fan Retrospective
It was quite the challenge making the last podcast on THE O.C. enjoyable for those who never had seen the show. That’s why the episode focused only a little on THE O.C.’s basic premise and plotlines, and more on the show’s pop-culture influence and 21st-century relevancy. A lot of esoteric O.C....
