The Haircut: An Oral History (Ep. 201-203)

If you ask any random person about Felicity, they will probably know about the haircut. This episode looks at how the writers came up with the idea, how it was executed, how the public and the network responded, and what we think about it now. JJ Abrams, Matt Reeves, Keri Russell, and Scott Speedman are all throughout the episode, as well as critics, including Michael Ausiello and Willa Paskin, executive Susanne Daniels, and many more voices. Does a haircut still mean so much 25 years later?
