Always and Forever | A One Tree Hill Podcast
0.10: One Tree Hill Netflix Reboot Reactions
•
Yesterday, we received news via Deadline about a One Tree Hill reboot coming to Netflix, with Hilarie Burton Morgan, Sophia Bush and Danneel Ackles producing the series and reprising their roles from the OG. Of course, we had to record an emergency podcast to unpack this! We chat about our complicated feelings about this. Will it do the characters justice? What about Haley? How would it continue if some of the original cast were not to return? How are they navigating the fact that He Who Shall Not Be Named will get credit? Also, we talk about how this show could potentially center on Rachel Gatina, rather than Brooke and Peyton. Let us know your thoughts on social media!

0.00: Trailer + Pilot Preview
09:33|Introducing Always and Forever, a podcast where two lifelong friends and superfans analyze and dissect the soapy goodness, music, and general merriment of the greatest teen show of the early 2000s, One Tree Hill! Each week, Kaitlyn Ilinitch (@MissIReads) and Jeremy Rodriguez (@RodriguezJeremy) will have a spoiler-free discussion of each episode with a special spoiler segment at the end for longtime OTH fans (don’t worry, there will be plenty of warnings to tune out if you’re a newly enrolled Tree Hill High student!). You can find Always and Forever on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @alwaysothpod and email us at alwaysothpod@gmail.com. Trailer: 0:00-1:58 Episode Clip: 1:59-9:341. 1.01: Pilot
01:07:38||Ep. 1First of all, you don’t know us. Second of all, you don’t know us. But you will get to know us during our premiere episode of Always and Forever, where we discuss the pilot episode of One Tree Hill. This week, we unpack why we love OTH so much, how the show can be hella problematic, Kaitlyn’s visit to the location where Lucas towed Peyton’s car, and Nathan being an absolute jerk. We’re Kaitlyn Ilinitch (@MissIReads) and Jeremy Rodriguez (@RodriguezJeremy) and you can find Always and Forever on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @alwaysothpod or email us at alwaysothpod@gmail.com.

52:39||Ep. 2We don’t wanna be anything other than us, Kaitlyn and Jeremy. In our episode on S1E2: The Places You Have Come To Fear the Most, we discuss the importance of music to One Tree Hill, the iconic role of Brooke Davis, how numerous characters grapple with fear, and OTH’s lack of diversity.

49:05||Ep. 3In our episode on S1E3: Are You True?, we discuss the poor handling of Lucas’ hazing on the basketball team (Two Basketballs, One Chad Michael Murray, amiright?), our excitement for Brooke and Haley finally getting more storylines, Cracker Jack trivia you never asked for, and the symbolism (and possible environmental hazards!?) behind the Burning Boat Festival. We even draw some connections to our own high-school reunion experiences!

46:44||Ep. 4In our episode on S1E4: Crash Into You, we discuss the fabulous Deb Scott, Nathan being a jerk to Lucas (again!), and Peyton’s much-needed epiphany. We even touch on some more obscure moments, including the *shocking* connection between One Tree Hill and High School Musical and a (hilarious?) shower scene where Kaitlyn dies of laughter!

56:07||Ep. 5In our episode on S1E5: All That You Can’t Leave Behind (or the alternate title, Where I End and You Begin), we take a deep dive into the larger significance of the songs the episode is named after. We also discuss Lucas’ realization that he should keep the Scott name, Peyton and Whitey’s connection over their grief, and we make our own realization about why Peyton runs red lights. And on lighter notes, Jeremy explains why Haley was NOT watching The Office and Kaitlyn freaks out about her past visit to the real-life One Tree Hill bridge!

01:05:34||Ep. 6In our episode on S1E6: Every Night Is Another Story, we discuss the two shirtless Scott brothers (which results in what professional queer Jeremy calls one of the gayest episodes of One Tree Hill!) and how they shockingly get along for the very first time. We also touch on Whitey kicking Lucas and Nathan off the school bus (how is this legal?), Karen and Keith’s first date (!?), and Peyton and Haley’s developing friendship.

42:25||Ep. 7In our episode on S1E7: Life In A Glass House, we put our love for Brooke aside to discuss what is quite possibly her worst episode EVER. Plus, we talk about our love for early 2000s Maroon 5 (you even get a *super professional* cover of “She Will Be Loved,” performed by Kaitlyn herself!), Lucas and Peyton’s failed attempt at romance (Why Peyton? Why? You're standing in front of Chad Michael Murray! What are you doing!?), shipping Karen and Deb (the two just need to date already!), and themes from The Great Gatsby! We wanted this episode for so long and now we can have it.

01:11:54||Ep. 8Welcome to the planet! There’s romance brewing during our discussion of S1E8: The Search for Something More! Karen and Keith! Nathan and Haley! And is there something forming between Brooke and Lucas~? We also somehow make connections between this episode and Pretty Little Liars, Everwood, My So-Called Life, and Cruel Intentions. Finally, on a darker note, we discuss Peyton, her ordeal, and the problematic nature of this storyline.
