I saw a clip on TikTok about "the showrunner." I think they're not saying Brad's name because they (especially the ladies) HATE him. Nothing else but pure hatred is why they refuse to drop his name.
And I love to see/hear it! Good.

I agree with basically everyones comments, it's not a great podcast, yet I still wait patiently for every episode to drop haha. I do feel like they are very biased, they mainly discuss Piper's plot points (I guess obviously as she is in the podcast) and Prue, Shannen is regarded like an angel and can do no wrong. She's an excellent actress, I don't disagree but I do feel like they're unfairly biased towards here. It's a shame they don't discuss Phoebe/Alyssa all that much, and when the do it's to criticise. I think Holly is very opinionated about a lot of things (which is fair, aren't we all!) but then she influences Drew. I liked Drew at the beginning, but now I feel he is way too influenced by Holly. He'll start by liking an episode then Holly will mention something she didn't like and suddenly Drew hates it too. I find Brian a lot more authentic, he sticks to his guns even if it's different from the others. It amused me the drama between Holly and Siberling and the fact Drew didn't know. I also thought they were way too harsh on Apocalypse Not though! I quite liked this episode! Yeah they are really dismissive of Alyssa. And you are right - Brian is more authentic. I feel like you could make a whole series about the behind the scenes drama of Charmed like they did with the BH90210 story. With ApocNot, they completely missed the point of it being a 'lessons' episode and how freewill, the greater good and goodwill won. I feel like Hollys whinning is really going to ruin Season 3 for me esp if they keep being dismissive of Phoebe and Holly keeps complaining about the stupidist of things Also - The comment Drew makes about Phoebe just liking evil because she is evil....(refering to the Horseman). Its much deeper than that and they should know this from the Woogy, Pardon My Past, Morality Bites. Is he actually even interested in Phoebe's storyline or is he just going to Praise Shannen for everything she does? |

Yeah he didn't even remember Phoebe already saw the past in S1 during The Wendigo and The Witch is Back. It was like new information in Astral Monkey. He seems more invested in what Holly, Brian and Holly telling him about Shannen are doing in every episode. Even when Brian isn't in an episode they spend time wondering where he is more than Phoebe. Lol I used to think Brian was the worst in S1 when they started. But maybe it just took him time to get into his Grove. He's the most honest even admitted Holly and John had better chemistry than him and Holly in Dead Man Dating and knows he can't act well with emotional scenes. Now my opinion had changed its Brian and not Drew who is the best on the podcast. |

When HMC and Drew discussed Phoebe seeing the past - I was like - you are def not watching the episode fully I dont think and are fast forwarding to Prue moments. He said something like he hasn't seen this particular episodes in a couple of weeks. I think Drew was only really wanting to do this to stay relevant and get some clout and merchandise money. I will be really disapointed if in Season 3 continues to be like this. Its time to start giving Phoebe/Alyssa some credit And you are right - Brian was sloppy in the beginning days of the Podcast but now he's so much more balanced. If I hear the name Daisy one more time - I will explode! |

Drew was in such a small part of the show overall compared to the others, that maybe it'll be more balanced out if Holly, Alyssa and Brian were on it. S3 is very Phoebe/Alyssa heavy. That she has to be much more talked about as you pointed out. We all know S6 is basically going to be the Drew show since he's on it, so with how they barely bring up Phoebe as you said now, S6 might barely mention her at all. It'll just be the Piper/Chris/Leo show. Looks like I'm not missing much out, since I haven't listened to it. |

I'd like to hear more from Phoebe/Alyssa. I wonder if once the Prue era ends if they'll talk more about Alyssa, but I have this feeling they'll just shift the focus with Rose being the new Shannen that Drew raves about every week. He's much more balanced and actually doesn't let the other two influence his views. You bringing up Drew wanting to stay relevant, yeah its easy to make money off one successful show you've done I suppose (more power to him if it pays the bills). I mean I know Drew was on Army Wives, but that doesn't have the fandom and cult following that Charmed had. Don't remind me of Daisy. It's annoying AF. That joke is the new Drew was 18 years old when Charmed started. That was a gag they kept going for most of the the early podcasts. I am interested and hoping Julian is on the podcast for S3, I am very excited to hear what he has to say. Because he's one of the few regulars to not do much press on Charmed like Ted and Kaley.

Maybe they would've been more serious about it if it was just Holly and Alyssa doing it. They seem to have a much more professional and friendly relationship (but not as tight, just cordial). Holly's way more close with Drew, Brian and Shannen. I don't see them goofing around as much as Holly does with Drew and Brian. I don't see Alyssa being interested in a weekly podcast, even if she has started doing the cons. She seems more interested in her political involvements these days. |

I do see them being more professional . I think the podcast might be more balanced if Holly and Alyssa did it together without Drew and Brian. They'd actually talk about all the sisters and not cater to some. Obviously Shannen wouldn't be present still unless its a guest, but Holly would do the talking on her behalf as she does, and Alyssa too. |

She's willing to be professional around Alyssa despite how she feels about her unlike Rose. |

She's willing to be professional around Alyssa despite how she feels about her unlike Rose. It kind of goes back to the premise of the show. The three different Halliwell sisters must put aside their differences to combat evil when they discover they are The Charmed Ones, the most powerful witches of all time. |

The last they had actual interactions in person was filming the Greys episode years ago. |

I think Drew should have done this himself and used his Charmed connections to have different folks come on. Holly and Brian are not right as co-hosts. But I would have loved to see Drew just fanboy over the show without their influence.

But I would have loved to see Drew just fanboy over the show without their influence. He's yet to be swayed to like Andy, at all. Drew has stood firm on being very anti-Andy. Even with the pressures of both Holly and Brian, they've yet to convince him to like Andy, at all. |

He does stick firm on the anti-Andy hate but can be influenced by other things on the podcast. |

True. He does stick firm on the anti-Andy hate but can be influenced by other things on the podcast. Sometimes, people make good arguments from a different position. With how much I've changed my mind in listening to other people's opinions/view points (or even another review, of my own), I can understand Drew changing is mind. I do like how he listens to other people's input. That's just how I view it. |

Seems the podcast has gone on a break, There hasn't been a new episode in 2 weeks when there's just one more episode of S2 left.
It might be all the cons and traveling.

It might be all the cons and traveling. you mean West you haven't subscribed to their producer VIP $60 per month program during this period of absence? NOW is the time to buy all that merchandise so Drew Holly and Brian can pay for those plane tickets to New Zealand this month for the Comic Con And also it would be rude not to pay and to be impatient given how much time they are spending on great quality debriefs of episodes that dont stray into talking about absolutely nothing relating to Charmed for a big chunk of time. Don't worry though - they have recognised the love and time we've given them for this A+ podcast and especially for their big Charmed (Alyssa-less) family the are so happy to belong to. Lets all line their pockets for the upcoming holidays. I can't wait to hear Daisy's name 1 last time! The podcast in my opinion is just as bad as the Reboot. |

I wonder if Holly is just sick of her political posts, it can be too much for people sometimes. |
