'Full Disclosure' Veep Rewatch Podcast Ep. 7 Reaction Post
-ANNA CHLUMSKY 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾ANNA CHLUMSKY 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!
-The worst thing I've ever done will never EVER be revealed (even though it's not that bad lol)
-Glad that they're acknowledging the awkwardness of starting off the podcast. It's definitely difficult to start a podcast, especially on a television show, but Matt and Tim are doing a good job so far.
-I agree with Matt on enjoying seeing the personal lives of the characters. I've always loved getting a peak at the character's lives outside of the office and wish we could've seen more of this in the later seasons.
-Aww the entire cast convincing Tim it'll be okay to visit his pregnant wife during an emergency is so nice. You can tell that experiences like this really bonded the cast.
-ANNA! SHE'S HERE!
-THAT LAUGH! I missed her so much y'all have no idea
-Matt and Tim introducing Anna as being incredibly talented and telling her just how LUCKY they are to have her on. FINALLY, SOMEONE SAID IT!
-Also, Anna taking the time to remind people HOW to say her last name. (It's Klum-ski). I will never forget that Mandel said he just refuses to say her last name. It's truly not that hard
-Interesting!! Anna compares Amy to a teenager! Says that Amy has the confidence of a teenager who thinks they know it all. Saying this definitely adds to depth to her character and the decisions she makes
-Her SAG Award in the back!
-Also all of the books in her background look SO interesting.
-ANNA MENTIONED 'HACKS'! We love a 'Hacks' reference/stan
-Anna fighting for Amy to not be coined as an assistant.
-Anna was made an honorary Chief of State by an association of Chiefs of Staffs!! That's amazing and goes to show just how amazing her portrayl/performance was.
-Tim and Matt's genuine enjoyment/excitement of Anna just being present is so adorable.
-Anna writing 'Can I please work with Armando again?' in her journal is just so beautiful.
-"We're gonna have to change the name from Anna to Amy because we want you to play the part." Ah, Armando! Such a sweet line.
-I love how Anna talks about Arm's commitment and directness in getting her the script and ultimately casting her. You can tell that she has so much love/respect for him and vice versa. I hope they work together again in the future
-I missed Anna's laugh so much, this really is great!
-Anna had the flu during rehearsals for the first episode! (Before flu shots as she notes)
-I love how Laura Schiller (the Chief of Staff that helped Anna prepare for the role) described being the Chief of Staff as a firefighter.
-Why are we being reminded that Amy married Bill? It's too early to mention that and I honestly prefer to not think about it. (Or the entire last two seasons).
"There's a lot to talk about there." Anna on Amy and Bill's relationship? Say more, Queen! I need to know WHY that idea even was pitched and taken seriously. Also, Matt mentioned that it was a weird arc...glad someone agrees lol.
-This 'Brass Eye' show their referencing sounds very interesting. Has anyone seen or heard about it?
-"Well that's great news!" Dan's sheer relief at Selina's miscarriage shows just how much of an ice-cold asshole he is and him doubling down on it shows how big of a one he is
-Quick question? Why are they discussing the episode without Anna? That seems a bit odd?
-"Secret as in shut the fuck and Service as in you work for me, so shut the fuck up!" What a great line
-Classic Arm Bit I Never Noticed: Everytime something gets knocked over and someone goes for it, they never get help
-Also Mike dropping that box is hilarious to me. I've rewatched that scene back to see that several times
-There's so much that does happen in this show that after rewatching the show for like the 7th time, I started picking up on things I didn't before
-Again, why isn't Anna around to put input in on this episode? I would've loved to have heard her perspective on this ep
-Watching them try to remember what happened in the episode when they have literal papers that describe what happens in the episode is painful lol
-Hold on, Hold on....there was a scene where Amy 'slides' up to Dan in the pilot....and it was cut? WAS THE SCENE EVER SHOT? WE CAN GET IT PLZ
-The short-lived suicide pact was absolutely hilarious, especially given just how quick Dan was the act like he had no interest in being a part of it despite being the one to suggest it in the first place
-The scene of Gary trying to resign was so heartbreakingly adorable
-It's amazing how much Selina says without saying anything at all. In a field like politics, it's not unusual that there are things that need to be said that can't really be articulated out loud.
-I think that the scene between Selina and Amy towards the end shows just how fucked up their relationship was in the beginning seasons no matter how close they were.
-Anna describing herself as a 'Nerdy Actor' is so cute
-Anna describing each scene in the early season as 'plays' is a GREAT TAKE! So much happened in these little scenes back then.
-I'm so happy Anna mentioned this! Amy could've destroyed Selina with all of the dirt she's said/done to her if she really wanted to.
-Side Note: They all looked SO YOUNG during the suicide pact scene with Selina in the office....poor Dan, Amy and Mike looked like scared little puppies
-Also Gary delivering the tea during the whole office scene was hilarious
-"Peep ya later!" Such a cute Mike line
-It's interesting that Anna cites Dan as her biggest competition and has to take down some of her boundaries in order to tolerate working with Dan. I think we all kinda know this but it's interesting hearing this from Anna
-Tim's sheer excitement for 'Inventing Anna' is super exciting.
-Anna also finished filming a movie for Peacock! I'm pretty sure it's the horror one.
-Arvin is getting cuter and cuter each episode...I see ya Arvin lol
-It's been like three episodes and they still haven't answered any questions lmao.
-The next episode is about the Season 1 Finale already? Jesus Christ this is going by fact.
Overall: Not enough Chlumsky for me! On a positive note, it was SO nice seeing her warm, bubbly, and affectionate personality on my screen again! Hearing her articulate her thoughts on Amy and the show itself is always nice and I loved how a lot of the conversation was her showering Arm with all of the praises he deserved. I do wish that they actually reviewed the episode with her. It was nice hearing her commentary on two scenes but I was looking forward to hearing her thoughts on the episode as a whole. Out of all the guests, Tim and Matt were practically GLOWING whenever Anna was on screen! That isn't to say that they didn't enjoy the other guests but you could tell Anna's bubbly personality is so well received by the entire cast. I am a little sad we didn't get to dive deeper into the few small Dan and Amy moments with her in this episode, I would've loved to have known how the whole scooting thing from Dan came from rehearsals. Also, I NEVER want to hear the fact of Amy and Bill marrying one another again until they get to rewatching the final season, it was painful enough living through it and I do not want to hear about, lol. Since we're soon entering the second season I am intrigued to know who will be coming onto what episodes? I do think we need Sufe Bradshaw to join for a few episodes soon. Interested to hear what everyone else thinks about the episode.
