Astral Monkey w/ Mathew Glave

Yeah. She saw Matthew going into the locket. That vision. I am glad I figured it out too. It was really bugging me! Haha. Thanks for your help too!!!

Kelsey W

Ah, ok. So she didn’t just see a vision of her, Melinda actually came to the future in that ep, right? That’s why I was confused, bcuz I don’t think there’s an ep where she just “sees” Melinda in the past and without her coming to the future. Glad you found it!

Dawn Chessen

Melinda's first epsiode in the 1st season. IT IS!!! because she was touching the locket when she had the vision!

Kelsey W

I can think of several eps with Melinda Warren, I just can’t think of one where Phoebe only sees her in a vision of the past. Shes in “the witch is back” where a warlock is accidentally released, she’s in the season 3 episode “All Halliwell’s eve,” where the girls go back in time to save her, and there are several references to flying that ep, albeit on brooms. Phoebe’s gift is premonition, and I can’t think of an ep where she just sees the past, and they don’t actually go to the past.

Dawn Chessen

I am not sure. I am still.trying. she saw a vision of the past....Melinda Warren....

Kelsey W

Where Phoebe saw the past? Or went to the past? She sees the future in her visions. I can think of a couple eps it may be depending on the answer.

Dawn Chessen

There is an episode...where phoebe saw the past and it was questioned...gosh what epsiode was that.... and she says the line "yeah but I was hoping I'd get to fly."

Kelsey W

Just joined, I’m so behind. Gunna have to rewatch this crazy monkey episode right now.

It makes sense that Piper felt the most emotion in this episode. She felt guilty - as she was the one who brought the virus to the hospital. she was the cause. This was a heart wrenching episode. But it also drives home the reason why Piper chose Leo over Dan. someone to talk to who understands.

Ezabel Holmes

Holly really know how to do an emotional scene. That scene at the end with her and Brian was…wow.

DestyniDreams `

I don’t think so cause she bound them, not get rid of them. They were always witches even when they didn’t have access to their gifts.

DestyniDreams `

Kate

Because they are born witches…I do believe their powers are within their DNA. So it makes sense that it’s in their blood.

DestyniDreams `

I don’t want to make this a sexist thing but I be clocking the outfits too. Like every episode I have a comment about the outfits and style the have no matter if it’s good or bad. They do say women are more detailed oriented so that could be why Holly clocks them more often then the guys do. 😅

DestyniDreams `

I love how Brian explained how and why he went about playing Leo. It may seem "boring" to some, but as a young boy, watching this man comfort and discuss things with the current love of his current afterlife was refreshing. Sure, he had another family somewhere else (I'm not referring to the Elders, lol), but even as a literal angel, he seemed grounded from the clothes to the attitude and tones in his voice. Speaking of the oversized clothing choices, we didn't have much, and growing up, I sometimes borrowed my dad's shirts and sweaters for school. Brian's popular character helped perpetuate a style that made me comfortable wearing my dad's larger-sized clothing. I'm relieved the audio issue was more minor of a deal than I thought. HMC, Queen, the Kool-Aid is delicious, and as I'm a legit ride-or-die, you're not making it easy! I love how deep the discussion of the episode went. Even the critiquing of certain storylines. We all crave more from specific stories, as shown in the discussion. HMC, you always understand the assignment. You went hard for multiple reasons. Expressing the guilt your character felt was fantastic to see on screen. A+ pod.

Sandro

Always talking about how Leo is leaving for his other family (LOL) when things get tough. I always thought he was more of a guide, so he wasn't supposed to be there when things got tough. Here's the information you need to be successful if you need me holler kind of thing.

Zoe

I love this episode I agree they did rush into phoebe being irritated but I think they wanted to show what happens when you live with others and the struggle that comes with it. I love that at the end she embraces him and the whole list she has is really positive

Natasha Mosley

Just watching my favorite monkey episode - when they lose their senses!!! ❤️❤️

Tia Sukenik

This is in my top 10. Not top 5, but definitely top 10. I love this episode. I think it's one of those times that they learn you can't always save the innocent, sometimes it's beyond even their control and power.

Liz

BK’s granola glow-up is giving #theressomethingaboutleo

Mattel Woods

The song at the end for me is “Save you”-The Moxy. I feel like I need to start rewatching on the DVD’s so I get the original everything 😂

Tyler Peavey

Y’all really do need to find the DVDs and watch with the OG music. There are a couple shows I can’t watch anywhere but DVDs because streaming changes the music. This one and Supernatural. Also, really enjoyed listening to Matt. I could have listened to him for hours, he’s so wise and smooth.

Megan_Dawn_Author

When I first watched the episode, I wondered if they were going to make the Stone character into a reoccurring love interest for Prue. I thought maybe that was why so much time was spent on that story.

Pam

Hey there - all orders have been shipped for pre-orders and those ordered since. Please drop us a note at ahlt@ahouselikethis.com with your order number and we can help you out! X

Ky

The powers in the blood thing always irked me but I tried to make sense of it as either the Awakened Spell that saved Piper made them activated in the blood / this was the personal gain impact of the sisters originally awakening her or Leo saving her. Any of those options could’ve made it more of a one off and less easy for anyone to steal their powers. Also this episode without Bush Letting The Cables sleep at the end is just not the same. I loved Bush at the time and that scene at the end is heartbreaking!

Ky

off topic, but has anyone gotten their candles yet?

pewpew

You all really NEED to watch this with the original music! It makes the show! I know you are all careful to say things like, the rip off music or the fake music or the second class music, but it is so not the same. The original music is so perfect & the music played on streaming services does not do the show justice. Please get it & watch it how it was meant to be watched! I will send you both a copy with a DVD/Blu-Ray player! Send me your shipping address...not a stalker...just a die hard forever Charmed fan from the beginning with commercials back with a VHS player and set it to record! Remember back then? They would not re-air the season 3 season finale? It always made me so mad because it was sooo good & DVD's were not yet available. If you missed certain episodes, they did not always replay them. Gotta love the ability to purchase the Blu-Ray's and have it all! I make a pact to myself to at least watch it all of the way through once a year! LOVE LOVE LOVE you 3 are doing this! I am so excited for the next few episodes and for seasons 3 & 4!!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B18WYQDF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Seriously, I have had this Blu Ray player before there was streaming for over 10 years. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B18WYQDF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Andrea S Green

One of the best songs ever written! Bush might be one of the most underrated bands of all time as well!

Andrea S Green

Same here. I’m definitely going to be watching for it now

Stephanie Owens-Hernandez

Nice shirt DREW 🫶

Melanie Stout

I honestly never even realized Holly was putting her head in Dr. Williamsons wound and I've seen this episode a million times because it's one of my favorites. She is so great in this that I never even paid attention to that at all.

Bonnie Tyson

Letting the cables sleep~Bush

Charmedone2

I love this so it was amazing and it was greys anatomy you were not er as sisters I love the monkey in this and I love everything

Allie McAfee

This is the first time we get to see Prue new car the BMW X5. still my favorite car. I remember when I was 13 my dad took me for a test drive in one. they had a tv in the front all the way back than. you couldn't watch it when the car was moving. it's funny how Prue gets a less secure probably lower paying job bet gets a more expensive car. so she went from a Mazda Mx-5 to A BMW X5

reece catlin

I loved this episode and the Music after the credits. Then The Morning Comes by Smash Mouth. I loved that Season 1-3 Had a lot of top 40 hits. sadly, as the seasons went on, they stopped really doing that.

reece catlin

Took me a minute to realize she meant Grey's Anatomy, too.

Chelsea McWilliams

Originals theme song https://youtu.be/8BwxcZwtkxo?feature=shared

Lindsey Renee’ Hubbard

Soooo, I just started rewatching on Peacock. I was just going off of memory before. What is up with the show intro music??? Definitely not the same.

Chris Adams

Phoebe had been able to see PAST or future events starting in the Melinda episode in season 1

Zach Garland

This is my top five ep, definitely gatta break out the Blu-rays the fake music is killing lol me they completely ruined the last scene

Kevin Jenkins

Oh, and Drew, love the shirt btw! One of my favorite bands ever!!

Mindy Lou

Great episode guys! I didn't notice any audio issues, besides BK, but his I've noticed has always been off so nothing unusual. Keep up the great work!

Mindy Lou

Yes she has visions of the past and future. She saw Melinda Warren curse Matthew Tate into the locket

Tony Pop

Awwwe Dr Williamson! Love Hollys acting in this ep! And Hiii Mike 🙂 I love how Drew is so invested in this whole podcast! So cute! Poor BK always have another family to go to hah

Margaux T.

Thanks! I was a huge ER fan, but not Grey's Anatomy. I watched that Grey's episode just for them!!!!

Kim Gajewski-Schulte

It was definitely Greys! I was a big Greys fan at the time so it was crazy seeing Piper and Phoebe there. Lol. I almost thought, wait a minute, were they on ER together too? 😂😂

Allie L

I have a watch party suggestion: Is it possible to watch episode 1 on or around October 7 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary?

Sean

By the way, don’t know if anyone else has said it, but the song that plays at the end when Piper is crying is originally “Letting the cables sleep” by Bush and it’s perfection.

Mindy Rao

I think the problem they had with it, is it seemed to come out of nowhere. Like one minute we see Piper and Leo have their first date and then all of a sudden he’s there all the time to the point he’s eating Phoebe’s cereal. Haha

Mindy Rao

I think the C storyline of Leo presence in the house being intrusive is grounded in reality for me. The different family interactions is what the show is about and this was a family issue so I don't get why it was described as not real.

Bernard Duff

This pasta convo! YES! Most “gluten” allergies in America are not real! It is because the FDA has deemed that small amounts of pesticides in grains is “OK” UGHHH. (Unless you have celiac, as Drew said)

Matthew McDevitt

Bernard Duff

I know. It'll be interesting if the tone changes as Drew didn't even mention Phoebe/Alyssa in the first what 35 episodes, ie until recently. When Phoebe's plotlines become the dominant story arcs in S3 onwards it'll look odd if he carries on ignoring the character. But yes I agree with you it is now uncomfortable how a main character is not being talked about and even then not positively.

Bernard Duff

When I first moved here I was able to taste the chemicals in the bread. I'm accustom to it now, but in England you couldn't leave a loaf of bread out without it going moldy in 2-3 days.

Dianna Newman

Drew was absolutely incredible with his interview and analysis of Astral Monkey. 100% on point. I found the review very interesting and insightful. Also Holly’s ability to reflect and critique her own performance even though the episode demonstrated her absolutely incredible acting skills and her depth of emotion. The skill and the mastery to be able to have the audience empathising with Piper’s pain was a testament to Holly. Definitely one of my fave episodes over the years❤️.

Rebecca Goldfinch

Holly and Alyssa on ER? Wasn't that Grey's Anatomy? I don't remember them on ER. Am I wrong?

Kim Gajewski-Schulte

HMC and Alyssa’s episode on Grey’s Anatomy for future watch party, pls!😭

Jhack

I haven’t seen it, but it sounds like the exact type of film I’d enjoy watching 😂

Neoshia

It was Natalie the whitelighter who taught me the meaning of ‘Sartorially’ 😊 I had to go look it up in a dictionary back then- ‘to do with tailoring & clothing’ - no google at our fingertips! 🤣🤣

Jacqui Bennett

I love this episode. The ending is amazing. Annoyed that the song at the end was replaced. It's still on the DVD and Blu-Ray :)

Daniel Cox

I'm losing it lmao, I love BK! "He lost his job, what was he gonna go back to? What was he gonna do?" Love to you all. Thank you for another fabulous episode.

Dawn Mead

That doesn't really answer my question.

Alicia

If Drew ever gets to watch these eps in HD believe me he'd notice the outfits then!

Bernard Duff

It'll soon be Season 3 when Phoebe takes command of the show thereafter.

Bernard Duff

It's a really silly film but well made and Holly is great in it. It's a bit of a cookie cutter slasher that's elevated by a crazzzzy villain. I got it on Bluray from Germany but it has the English audio track as an option (far cheaper than the postage from the USA).

Bernard Duff

Phoebe's premonition power shows her things from the past as well as the future.

Bernard Duff

I loved the conversation on good/evil & vigilantism! I could definitely sense Piper’s hurt & frustration because she’s the reason this mortal eventually got these powers—along with his own prideful pursuit—and died. I thought Prue and Phoebe were more reserved because he wasn’t trying to save their lives, and they could see the bigger picture. Interesting concept until he started killing, and he clearly fell into the bad category. This is one of my favorite episodes (even if the science is a bit shady lol) because of this idea & the girls basically acknowledging Leo is part of the family now. It’s a 9 for me! Also, I just want everyone to know that Dr. Giggles is available on digital on basically every digital platform + Blu-Ray. Seems like a good spooky season watch 💜

Neoshia

Thank you. I forgot about those. I could only think back to earlier in the season.

Ariadne Bene

Love this ep. You guys are so awesome. Having matthew on was definitely a bonus he is awesome. Thank you for all you guys do. This was an emotional episode because if piper returned his calls he might nit have become a victim, but double edged sword is if ahe did would he have kept her like a guinea pig and want to do more test. We only needed A story line I agree. ❤️

Annie O’Malley

In season 1 she saw Melinda Warren cruse Matthew into the locket, while working at Buckland she had vision of a car accident from the past, which facilitate her and Prue reuniting a missing young girl with her mother. She had a vision of the Grimlocks demons holding a young boy hostage. Those are a few few that come to mind.

Miss Bubbles

Love this ep. Holly, the song is Bush - Letting the Cables Sleep. It cannot be replaced. You and BK absolutely nailed that scene. I cry every time. Take a look at your bracelet and watch on this scene Holly. They end up on opposite wrists as you go upstairs. 😉 I absolutely love every little thing about the show. 💜

Tara Strine

He was a great guest!

Rachel Krawsek

This episode is a top for me. It really humanized the sisters. Especially Piper. Of course HMC is a phenomenal actress who knows how to hit you right in the feels. My only complaint is them changing the song at the end. Letting The Cables Sleep was the perfect song for that scene.

Nina Scott

The B storyline isn’t as good, but I think it provides a little foreshadowing for what the Charmed ones have to deal with later. Could be a coincidence, but I connected those dots

Mindy Rao

Another great ep. I agree that the A storyline was stronger/more interesting, but the touching on the paparazzi was kind of interesting - less interested in the character though. I think Piper’s struggle over the morality of the ‘he was trying to save my life’ and then the way he just go do caught up on things resonated. At the end she mentions that Curtis was so dedicated to saving lives was more important than having a life of his own. Piper is always wanting to have a semblance of ‘a normal life’ and not just be a witch so I felt like that was particularly interesting. Love the scene at the end where Leo comforts Piper 🥺

Laura Shergold

I too thought they gave up on Dr. Williamson too quickly in this episode. I feel like they didn't even really TRY to look for possible ways to save him. Also, I wish we could have had a scene where Piper visits Curtis' sister in the hospital (after her transplant) to let her know that it was her brother who managed to "find a donor" & save her before he died. That would have been a nice way to honor him.

Elisa Brogren

You're not alone!

Dawn Mead

I believe the first time phoebe sees the past is when she has a premonition about Matthew and Melinda in season 1. It’s addressed that her powers grew and she can now see both the past and future. I’d also give this episode a 9… i love seeing piper so vulnerable and her caring nature. Piper was always the heart of the show

Sean hughes

Dr Fuller , verbose is "using or expressed in more words than are needed", so definitely not this episode of HOH. I would say "semantically rich" ? So many new words today, I made the list : verbose, rampage, dastardly, qualm and ludicrous. Who said TV shows were not helping with vocabulary ?

Milor Echasse

Great episode. Phoebe did have a past premonition when she saw Prue on the bridge. Also love Brian rocking the Buc-ee’s water bottle. I was just there on Monday.

Beth Missey

Audio issues didn’t spoil a thing 😊 I totally called the ‘All wet’ as a Shannen ad-lib! I gave Astral Monkey an 8.5-9 as I totally love it. It has it all - the human/demon dilemma, the ‘will their magic be found out’ danger (damn paparazzi) & whenever Piper cries, I sob my heart out. Great podcast episode too guys - thank you!! 🖤✨

Jacqui Bennett

But Phoebe had a vision of the past before in P3 H20 when she touched Sam's hands and saw her mom's death. That was the first time I think Phoebe had a vision of the past.

Ariadne Bene

I was thinking the same thing!

Janine Krispin Deiermann

I'm with Drew. I typically don't notice outfits in TV shows unless it just seriously stands out to me. And that's usually when an outfit is brightly colored that it's hard to not notice it. And this is coming from a woman lol

Ariadne Bene

One of my favorite episodes, I felt Piper's pain. I still cry every time she cries. Then Leo comes in to comfort her. I am a mess.

Shay wilson

The last scene was a very powerful moment I thought. Leo did what he needed to do in that moment which was to let the girls handle it and even tho it was hard on piper, Leo was there to comfort her. In later seasons you do see more character development from this episode from piper, so I think they did a great job.

Ce Ce

She mentions putting her head on Curtis' chest as he is dying.

Anne Corbin

Prue/Shannen's face during the shower scene was just... "Nice orbs" LOL

Steven Maggiolino

Great podcast ep. Loved it. Always here for all of them, and all of you. Blessed be.

Steven Maggiolino

Phoebe’s power to see the past was established in season one episode The Witch is Back

Chris Holmes

I very much enjoyed these episodes without demons, simply because it added such a psychological twist to it. Like Brian said, the doctor was the innocent and needed saving from himself. And I very much felt for Piper, since she was doing everything in her power to save him but couldn’t in the end

Maaike Van Kuijk

Does anyone know what “bad acting” moment that holly is referring to?

Chris Holmes

Wow, I just started the episode and can I just say.....Holly's hair is AMAZING! 😍

Megan Sweet

💯

EmmyMel

Oh man I'm totally about to become a producer patreon for doctor giggles. I wanna watch Holly watch that one 😂♥️

Jenna Paige

Is it more Phoebe bashing, cause that is getting old.

Alicia

The original song at the end was “Letting The Cable Sleep” by Bush.

Felicia

Yaaay can't wait to watch it thank you so much... ❤️

Eleonora Rentsch

No worries, we appreciate everything you do for us. 🖤

Sandy Céline

Yes!! Thank you! 😊

Megan Sweet

Love this episode!

Mel Stark

Thank you! Been waiting on this one! Fixin to watch while I'm at work in my office 😂😊

Phillip McCoy

One of my favorites!
