Bros Watch Pll Too - A Pretty Little Liars Podcast

The new season is almost here! But first, let’s celebrate Festivus by looking back at a classic PLL episode from seasons past. This time, we’re checking in on the Season 2A Premiere. The Bros can analyze the Ezria situation now with all future spoilers known, and of course, there will be some Hastings Dinner Theater. Thanks for listening, we’ll be back for 6B soon.

Aloha! Benji and Marco have returned from the ether to discuss the 5 Years Forward Pretty Little Liars special, and then answer some questions from our wonderful listeners. If you’ve ever wondered what other shows we’ve considered podcasting about, who on PLL we want to die, what character we’d want to hang with, how the PLL moms survived, who would win the Hunger Games, etc, then this show is for you. Also, Benji is like 2 GnT’s in before the podcast even starts.

It’s time for another re-watch of a classic PLL episode. This time it’s Marco’s favorite: “The Kahn Game.” Armed with the new knowledge of CeCe Drake’s true identity, the Bros revisit this delightful Team Sparia romp and find a way to keep doing Toby-voice, even though he isn’t even in the episode. Don’t sleep on the soulful crooning of Tyler Blackburn’s Find A Way on the soundtrack, available in iTunes.

It’s hiatus time, so the Bros are revisiting some favorite episodes. Up first is this classic season one ep, which happens to be Benji’s favorite. Aria is losing her mind when Meg Manning comes to town to steal Ezra away, Hanna is being forced by A to whore out her dances and feelings for cash, Emily is missing Maya and getting angry drunk, and Spencer is living the unending terror of sharing a house with her new and probably murderous Brother-in-Law Ian Thomas. Alison is still dead.

The half-season may be over, but we’re still talking about the finale. Marco and Benji are joined by noted PLL scholars Heather Hogan and Jacob Clifton to answer listener questions. Topics include: plot holes, the big reveal of who A is, hopes for 6B, favorite liars, Noel Kahn, how many planes were at the Thornhill Lodge that other night, and much much more. Thanks to Heather and Jacob for joining us! You can read more of Heather’s work on Autostraddle, and find out about Jacob’s recaps and fiction on his website page.
