Rachel and Melinda discuss “The L.A.,” (S1 Ep22), the episode which Melinda calls, “so meta it almost turns in on itself and implodes.” They’re joined by actor, producer, director, Grady Bridges from The Valley himself, Colin Hanks!

Before The OC, came Orange County the film, starring Colin Hanks. They discuss this connection, plus Colin shares what he does in this episode which is a nod to his father. Hear more about Colin’s exciting career, his upcoming tv and film projects, plus his fashion line of handkerchiefs, Hanks Kerchiefs.

Then, get ready for the hosts to break down this episode, which is full of inside jokes poking fun at Hollywood, the cast themselves, and so much more!

The L.A. Synopsis: Seth and Ryan discover Julie’s affair with Luke, and Ryan lets him know it has to end. Summer and Marissa are invited to a Hollywood party after meeting actor Grady Bridges, from Summer’s favorite show, “The Valley,” and she invites Seth and Ryan along.

When they arrive at the club, they’re shocked to find Hailey working as a stripper. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Sandy have no choice but to ask Caleb to invest in the Lighthouse, and when they have a dinner party sampling the menu, their creative visions don't exactly align.
