  Wicked's Connection to My So-Called Life (with Samantha Rei, Sam Pirie, Terrence Moss, & Gregory Maguire)

  Dec 2, 20243h 27mS1

  <p>Stepping out of the wood, out of the dark, out of the night, the so-cast pod is back for a chat about the surprising parallels between Wicked and My So-Called Life! Sure, Winnie Holzman is one of the main writers behind both projects, so it makes sense that they'd have some things in common -- and we go deep on all of it, from the costumes to the music to the original novel.</p><p>Guests this week: Costumer Samantha Rei; Scottish comedian Scott Pirie, and media historian Terrence Moss. Plus, from the Sewers of Paris archives, my 2019 interview wit...

  Dance in Defiance, with My So-Called Life actor Senta Moses (Delia Fisher)

  Nov 11, 20241h 48mS1

  <p>I'm chatting with a super exciting guest this week: It's the delightful Senta Moses, who played Delia Fisher on My So-Called Life! We talk about her early career, the inspiration for her performance, the real-life confession that may have influenced the coming-out scene in the finale, and even take a peek at her original script notes for insights into how she tackled the role. Amazing!!!</p><p>And then, James and I reflect not just on this conversation, but on what the show has meant to us over the years; on how this podcast has changed the way that...

  Where are they now?

  Nov 4, 20241h 41mS1

  <p>When last we left Angela and Brian and Rickie and Rayanne and all their friends, they were in the early days of 1995 and at a point of no return in their teen lives. So what's happened to them in the intervening 30 years? On this week's episode, we have a reunion episode of sorts, with a roundup of past guests speculating on where the characters might have found themselves. And then James and I explore a few more possibilities -- from talking cars to communes to a secret relationship with J.D. Salinger, anything's possible.</p><p>- 80s TV...

  My So-Called Life's Second Life on MTV (with Peppermint)

  Oct 28, 20241h 51mS1

  <p>My So-Called Life lives again! This week, we're chatting about how MSCL was saved from oblivion, resurrected on cable. What made MTV such a perfect home for this show -- better, in fact, than the network where it originally aired? Joining me this week for a chat about MTV is the delightful Peppermint: Drag Race icon, actor, singer, and child of the 90s. Then I'll dive even further into the decade with James, in a conversation touching on David Bowie, adult animation, Clarissa Explains it All, and why James once spent a week wandering town in his underwear.</p><...

  In Dreams Begin Responsibilities (with Sam Pirie)

  Oct 21, 20241h 52mS1

  <p>In this week's episode of Matt's So-Cast Pod, it's the dramatic conclusion -- OR IS IT??? We've reached the final episode of My So-Called Life, in which everyone has revealing dreams and Brian finally tells Angela how he feels ... but she thinks that it's actually how Jordan feels. Meanwhile, Delia's got the hots for Rickie but has an important question to ask: Is he gay or what? And Graham and Hallie get a little steamy over a rack of lamb. Also, Patty meets Princess Diana.</p><p>Diving into all this drama with me is the delightful Sam Pirie...
