Bros Watch Pll Too - A Pretty Little Liars Podcast, Seasons 5-7

Ezra. Dawg. Major party foul bringing your high school girlfriend to the bar poetry reading, bro. Your boy Hardy is trying to be chill about this, but, like, dude. Seriously. Also, Toby is that kid who goes to the cafe to read The Catcher in the Rye so everyone will see him reading The Catcher in the Rye. He’s barking up the wrong tree with Emily. Meanwhile Spencer seeks out a ball boy to anger her father with, and the psychiatrist thinks Hanna might have a Martha personality. WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!!??!!

Nothing says Thanksgiving like Ezra’s gangly legs on a bike. We spy with our little eye, something that begins with a commentary track for Pretty Little Liars s01e04 “Can You Hear Me Now.” The liars have the only good idea in the entire run of the show: just blocking A’s calls. Also, this is the first collaboration between writer Joseph Dougherty and director Norman Buckley. Cheers!

The Bros are back again, no guests this time, to continue doing commentary tracks for Pretty Little Liars. This week, we’re doing s01e03 “To Kill a Mocking Girl.” First appearance of Keegan Allen aka Toblerone Toby Cavanaugh! Meredith being a scamp! The Hastings Family ladies and their wonderful dynamic! Enjoy!

This is it folks, the last of our commentary podcasts (for now). Norman Buckley is back to give us all the behind-the-scenes trivia about the 100th episode of Pretty Little Liars: s05e05 “Miss Me x 100.” Remember when Caleb returned to Rosewood as a ghost with short hair and we had to see Ezra’s hair legs in the sex scene. Oh yeah.

We’re very pleased to have writer and director Joseph Dougherty on the podcast for one of our very favorite episodes of PLL. That’s right, we’re doing a commentary track for s04e19 “Shadow Play.” Joe gives us a ton of insight into the behind the scenes work of producing the famous black & white episode of PLL, and it is a delight.

Journey with us to spooky Ravenswood for this special Halloween episode of PLL. We’re joined by director Norman Buckley to lay down a commentary track for s04e12 “Now You See Me, Now You Don’t,” aka the one where we learn about the A-ness of Ezra. How is Emily chained to a conveyor belt? Nevermind, look, it’s CeCe in a Red Coat, and Aria doing kickboxing!

A very special welcome to Pretty Little Liars’ showrunner and creator I. Marlene King, who has joined us to provide commentary for the first episode she directed, s03e16 “Misery Loves Company.” Stephen King homages and creepy dolls abound. You know why we picked you, right?

Someone’s been living in the DiLaurentis basement! We’re joined by special guest Lesley Fera, aka Veronica Hastings herself to provide commentary for s04e10 “The Mirror Has Three Faces.” Some great Mona vs Veronica scenes in this ep, in addition to Wren being super sus, Toby still hung up on his loser mom, and Red Coat creeping in mirrors.

Where do you go when you need to trade information in exchange for a mask of your own face? Howabout special guests Joseph Dougherty and Norman Buckley, the filmmaker’s behind today’s commentary track for s04e04 “Face Time.” We’ve got some classic scenes to discuss, like Melissa and Spencer at the lake, Lt. Tanner humoring Hanna in the park, and whether Aria is hurt or injured.

The 10-year anniversary celebration rolls in with a special double-guest commentary track for s04e03 “Cat’s Cradle.” We are joined by writer Joseph Dougherty and director Norman Buckley to talk Baker Bro Zach, Aria’s distaste for dudes who don’t like her black & white movies, and the one and only Hector Lime, Merchant of Masks and Secrets.

What better way to ring in the 10-year anniversary of Pretty Little Liars than rolling a cop car into the lake? This time on the pod, we’re joined once again by special guest Melanie Mayron, the director of the episode, to provide live commentary for s03e21 “Out of Sight, Out of Mind,” aka, the one where Spencer loses it and ends up in a mental hospital at the end.

It’s the Halloween Horror Train episode!! LaToya Ferguson of PLL Annotations fame joins us to celebrate 10 years of Pretty Little Liars by doing a commentary track for s03e13 “This is a Dark Ride.” Ashley is visited by a ghost! Adam Lambert flirts with Aria! Hanna and Mona almost share their first kiss! What an episode!

Duncan the teenage flyboy! Jenna getting blown up! We continue to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Pretty Little Liars with this commentary track for s03e23 “Eye of the Beholder,” featuring special guest Melanie Mayron, the director of the episode.

Hanna bashed Lucas with an oar and now she’s stressing! This week on the pod we’re joined by writer Bryan M. Holdman to discuss this classic episode of Pretty Little Liars. We hear some great insights into the writing process, and have a lot of fun watching Spencer interact with Mona.

Settle in for a trip back to the closest thing Pretty Little Liars has to a bottle episode, with season 1’s The Perfect Storm. We are joined by LaToya Ferguson of PLL Annotations and That’s So Aria fame to talk over all this hijinx of Aria singing, Emily’s muddy shoes, and Veronica Hastings handing Wilden his ass.

What the hell, we might as well do The Jenna Thing too, right? It’s always felt like the Pilot and episode 2 are a package. Listen close for the Bros to learn about a certain positive COVID-19 test during the commentary.

We’re back! Celebrating 10 years of Pretty Little Liars, four months late. We thought we’d record a few commentary tracks for the anniversary, featuring yours truly for the Pilot episode, and some special guests for other favorite episodes coming in the days ahead. Enjoy!

This is it folks. The Perfectionists is no more, and it’s time for all good things to come to an end. Marco and Benji are back one last time to give the Pretty Little Liars spinoff a proper burial at sea. The bros answer one last round of questions on the mothership show and its spinoff, and also take some spoiler-y questions on My Name is Trouble towards the end. Good night, sweet prince. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things.

Wrapping up Season 1 of Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists. Marco and JT return for a look back at the first season of The PLLerfectionists, and a look forward at next season. We offer our humble pitch for Season 2 (4:35) before answering questions from listeners (31:56). Later, we do a non-spoiler Q&A session for our book, My Name is Trouble (1:37:34), before talking spoilers for the book at the end of the pod (1:59:58).

Recapping Season 1, Episode 10 of Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists. In the season finale, the actual premise of the show finally arrives. There’s a creepy Professor who has entrapped the Liars and the Perfectionists into participating in a mysterious psychological experiment. Everyone is pivoting to new plot-lines, Taylor went to a rehab spa to do a bonus scene for some Aladdin money, Mason is still actively diminishing good female characters... Why wasn’t this episode the Pilot? Fingers crossed for a season 2.
