Bros Watch PLL Too - A Pretty Little Liars podcast

This week, we’re taking a trip through the Dark Spencer Saga, part II, as we move through season 4B of PLL. We did a casual rewatch on 417 “Bite Your Tongue,” 419 “Shadow Play,” 420 “Free Fall,” and 424 “A is for Answers.” We get a top five all time PLL scene with the Spencer/Aria dual intervention, the fabulous noir episode, Aria cry-face, Detective Hanna, the ultimate Paily romance scene, and mu...

Sup fam, we’re checking in with a bonus episode this weekend, talking to Jaymie from the popular twitter account @AllThingsPLL. We answer fan questions on topics like our favorite flashback, how we would kill off the Liars, and who we think is AD.

This week on the pod, we’re rewatching “A is for A-L-I-V-E,” “FaceTime,” “The Mirror Has Three Faces,” and “Bring Down the Hoe.” It’s the dreaded Toby’s Mom plot line season. But don’t let that deter you, because there’s still plenty of good stuff here in Season 4A of PLL. Like the first appearances of Tanner and Holbrook. Tons and tons of clues about CeCe being A to the point that it’s almost com...

The Bros are running down 3B, which is PLL at the absolute height of its powers, and possibly our favorite run of the show. This week we break down “Mona-Mania,” “Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Inferno,” “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted,” and “I’m Your Puppet.” Also, we’re recording in the same space for the first time, so brace yourself accordingly. This is a long podcast.

This week on the pod we’re moving through the first half of Season 3 of Pretty Little Liars, and wondering at just what got changed, and what the original plan was, when the writers shifted to the eventual CeCe storyline. Spencer has a virtual mind palace. Aria discovers that Ken Cosgrove’s wife had a baby with Ezra. Hanna breaks up and makes up with Caleb over her true love: Mona Vanderwaal. Emil...

Join us for a bonus episode where we talk with PLL Production Supervisor Jackie Ryan and find out a little more about how the sausage is made. Find out whether or not the liars have trailers, what a Line Producer does, and what to expect from Famous in Love.

This week on the casual rewatch, we’re covering season 2B of Pretty Little Liars. Specifically: s02e16: “Let the Water Hold Me Down,” s02e19 “The Naked Truth,” s02e23 “Eye of the Beholder,” and s02e24 “If These Dolls Could Talk.” This might be peak PLL. A run of legendary episodes running up to the big A reveal. So many classic scenes, so many great moments. Also, theorizing on future Lucas’s hit...

Join us for a rewatch of some choice 2A episodes, featuring s02e03 “My Name is Trouble,” (heh-heh) s02e04 “Blind Dates,” s02e07 “Surface Tension,” and s02e12 “Over My Dead Body.” Spencer is at her best when she’s asking for support and getting nothing from her family, Emily is letting A help her lie about Danby with an assist from the excellent Samara, Hanna is concerned about Caleb’s business wit...

As we move through early PLL, we’re rewatching s01e13 “Know Your Frenemies, s01e16 “Je Suis Une Amie,” s01e19 “A Person of Interest,” and s01e21 “Monsters in the End.” This is where the Hastings clan takes over the show and it is glorious. Also, proto-Paily, Haleb and Spoby. The paper bag selfies, Garrett Reynolds, kids crossing the street when they see Toby coming, Maya goes to “juvie camp” for s...

It’s a long hiatus, so Marco and Benji are gonna kill the time by turning back the clock to rewatch some choice cuts from each half-season of Pretty Little Liars. We start with 1A, of course, and do a casual pod on episodes 3, 4, 8, 10. This show was so much fun right out of the gate. Toby’s hair! Queen Bee Alison when Sasha was like 13! Ezra’s B-26 poem aka the worst poem ever written by anyone e...

We’re still here, bitches! Marco and Benji return in the midst of this interminable hiatus to talk about recent previews and sneak peeks for s07e11 Playtime, and then answer a bunch of fan questions from you, our wonderful listeners. There is drinking involved.

Surprise! We’re back for a special episode where we interview Pretty Little Liars writer Kyle Bown and Brendan Robinson, AKA Lucas Gottesman. Join us as we learn about the origin of “Merry Ho Ho,” Lucas’s interior decorating strategy, and how Brendan Robinson would kill Lucas off if given the choice. Also, be sure to check out the Seed & Spark funding page for “Twentyfiveish,” a web series Kyle an...
