I disagree actually about the quit while you are ahead. I think a lifetime project could work better because it is inexpensive thing to do and it’s a TV movie network. That’s who they should be pitching reboots to because lifetime is the network I think most likely to be for it. They won’t get paid much but still get paid.

And also I don’t think whether they talk I a chat often distinguishes how close they are. 😂😂 They don’t have to talk in text form all the time and they probably have each other’s number and separate chats for things. The thing is we shouldn’t expect the cast to be talk very day close. I liken to high school friends where one or two of you talk everyday but the whole group it’s just more sporadic but you are close in the sense you have a forever bond and you talk and hang out a few time a year but not besties that talk everyday. That’s ok and it can still mean they are close in a sense. They have never said they were talk everyday close anyway to be fair. 😂😂

I was also like "whatttt?" when Jennie said a fan bought her the Ultimate DVD set. Like, she's a millionnaire... she can afford it! And even if she couldn't afford it, she could buy it and then deduct it as an expense for the podcast. So weird.

Sisanie actually had a good point re: why did the network/producers (or more accurately, the PTA) had an issue with Dylan/Brenda having sex but not an issue with an “older teacher making moves on the girls at school.” I think part of the reason might be that the Dylan/Brenda was a long-term relationship and that we would have seen them/it would have been implied that they were having sex many times, whereas the teacher storyline was just a few eps, but it's indeed gross how normalized the "older male teacher hitting on a female student" trope is.

The part about the Unzipped podcast was really random. It kind of sound like a paid ad? But then if it is, it's not a very good one, since they couldn't even tell if it's a rewatch podcast or not... I've been listening to it because I like SBG a lot. It's not a rewatch podcast, it's just them chatting with a different guest every week. I think I would have preferred a rewatch podcast - there is not a single 90210 podcast out there, and also, having rewatched 90210 during quarantine, I had sooo many issues/WTF moments, would be fun to have someone dissect it all. They only had a few eps so far. I like their dynamic, but literally did not know a single one of the guest they had on. One of the ep led me to discover the new show Run the world, which is quite good, so was happy about that!

I'm not surprised that Tori and Jennie were not aware that some of the eps are not on Hulu/Prime (or on CBS All Access if you're from Canada!), since they both mentioned several times that they haven't watched the show since it was on TV. I'm more concerned with why none of their team (which seems to be quite big - there's Sis, a Producer, and I think they mentioned an intern or research assistant?) found out about this sooner/mentioned it to them a few eps in advance.
