OH MY GOD YOU GUYS THIS IS IT WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT. The final episode of My So-Called Life is PACKED. Graham and Hallie get money for the restaurant and almost makeout (BUT WHOOOOO CARES), Jordan recruits Brian to help him apologize to Angela (AND HE DOES IT, WHAT A MESS), Rayanne and Sharon solidify their friendship (DUH SQUARED), Patty reminisces about her high school boyfriend (LEADING TO HER BONDING WITH JORDAN OMG), Rickie has like six pivotal and groundbreaking moments (THANKS TO QUEEN DELIA!), and the series ends with one of the most heartbreaking scenes of all time.

But wait! We have our interview with Winnie Holzman next week so STAY TUNED because she goes in on everything from Tino to plans for her characters.

We had a blast making this podcast. Thank you so much for taking this, like, grungy and emotional journey with us... or whatever.
