    i laugh so hard listening to this…
    podcast my sides aches…i’ve only seen a couple episodes of melrose place but that doesn’t matter…when desi and rachel go off on a tangent, it’s hysterical… my left foot…my left eye…HA HA HA HA HA

    Hilarious!
    I adore Desi and Rachel, but had never watched the show— this podcast got me binge watching the first 5 seasons. MP is unhinged, hilarious, campy material and they cover the show SO well. I love Rachel’s voices for all the characters and the comments on the 90’s zeitgeist and fashion trends.

    Love you guys
    Didn’t even watch melrose but this recap is still amazing

    Billy’s Extreme Sport
    I think I must have rewound and re-listened to the totally hypothetical scenario of Billy eating wasabi and ruining dinner like a million times. And that’s not the only clip I’ve done that with. I could listen to these 2 read the labels off soup cans (actually that would make a really good podcast). One thing I’ve noticed is that with other podcasts and even TV shows, you have to wait awhile before the episodes start really hitting their groove, but Rachel and Desi just start producing gold right out of the gate. I don’t even watch MP except for a few eps while Bitchslap was on hiatus, to fill the void. And it’s like icing on the cake, but if I had to choose between watching the actual show and listening to these 2 crazy chicks, Bitchslap would win every time.

    Can’t believe I like it!
    I’m a 71 year old woman who never watched Melrose Place and never will. You both crack me up! I listen because I love you guys and your friendship and interaction. I’d listen to you do anything. Thanks for the laughs.

    Michael’s Fart Saga
    10/10, came here from Hollywood Crime Scene and I’m watching Melrose Place for the first time. I feel like Rachel & Desi have the same sense of humor as me and they’re absolutely hilarious. I’m also loving watching these insane storylines with the crazy 90s guitar solos in the background
  • Pumpkin Ravioli
    Funny!
    I started rewatching Melrose recently as a break from reality and couldn’t convince anyone I know to rewatch with me. So glad I found this hilarious podcast that points out all of the ridiculousness of this show. A fun listen and also their impersonations of the characters are spot on!

    Hilarious
    This show is hilarious, however. They used to give us two episodes a week, but now we’re lucky if we get two episodes a month. I almost gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of this, but I love Desi and Rachel too much to do that. Their other podcast True Hollywood Crime Scene is equally as great, and hilarious.

    I can’t say enough…
    So I’ll just say I haven’t rewatched MP but I watched it all the first time around. I don’t need to rewatch it! Rachel and Desi are so much more fun to listen to. I love these ladies and found the show from Hollywood Crime Scene. So so funny. Just give them a listen!

    This show is unhinged in the best way. The fan fiction they come up with about these characters is so much fun. Enjoy the train wreck that is Melrose with these girls.
  • LJHotzler
    The re-enactments are better than the real show!!
    Rachel does the best Jane and Billy impressions, and I am living for Desi’s DRUNK ALISON lately!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  • Not here for it 12
    Love it
    Love everything these ladies do!! Keep the content coming!!!

    It’s the Voices for Me
    These two are the perfect hosts for a MP rewatch, I try to listen before bed but I laugh too hard. Watching along with them (my first time) has become such a guilty pleasure, please do another trash 90’s series after this Update: Rachel’s voice work has really grown so much over the last 3 seasons of this, top tier listen, the details and things these two pick up on are so deep, I love it
  • HappyJack:)
    Best impressions ever!!!
    I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Rachel impersonates every character on the show!!! She is sooo talented!
  • NappyDresser
    Hilarious Duo!
    The show Seinfeld would not admit watching! Guilty Pleasures 💋😱🤣
  • JaxXaviersMom
    10 star rating
    I could listen to Desi and Rachel read food labels. They are my favorite podcasters. I’ve NEVER watched an episode of Melrose place and have enjoyed binging this podcast. Hollywoood crime scene has made me fall in love with listening to these 2 hysterical women.
  • Mare1040
    Love this pod
    Great podcast on Melrose Place, the best nighttime soap! With the strike over, will you resume??? Please!?
  • Danithang
    Funny
    I love this podcast, the voice acting for each of the characters is hilarious. My only beef is that you haven’t come back since you stopped for the writers strike. Hollywood Crime Scene is back so I’m wondering why this hasn’t come back yet.
  • Ejane84
    Best Soap Recap Ever
    I think I could listen to these two talk about anything, BUT this podcast is so hilarious! I have never even watched Melrose Place before but I love their original podcast, Hollywood Crime Scene, so I gave it a try, few months later now I’m watching the show religiously and desperately waiting for new pod episodes to drop! Love you ladies and keep dropping these episodes, they cannot come fast enough! **Edit** I need to know more about Billy in NYC 🤣I’ve listened to that spiel again and again🤣
  • eternates
    A Delight
    You two have such wonderful banter, I feel like I’m chatting with my best friends from college even though we now live cross country from each other and are too old and too swallowed by marriage/kids/jobs/etc. to find time for each other like this. Please don’t cease this cast, even though I equally enjoy Hollywood Crime Scene- this one is such a light bit of distraction for a very busy life. I hope you get more and more followers on this cast as well as HCS- keep up the delightful work :-)
  • LeeLee17
    Impressions!
    The impressions have me rolling every week! Top notch! I want Rachel and Desi to recap every trashy show. Keep them coming!
  • NightriderCat
    Slap Happy
    In love with the Billy impersonation. I am so relieved you hate him as much as I always have. This is the very best way to watch any show of the past . I can’t wait for the future of this new format for you ladies. You shine & have created a universe that embraces my cynical young self that hate watched this show lie the rest of us. Everything is spot on. From the decorating commentary to Jane’s hair, & Jo’s strange peek a boo shoulder shirts. Thank You!
  • Leenalady
    If you miss the 90’s, this your podcast!!
    Oh the good old days!! Reliving all the campy greatness of Melrose with the most entertaining and funny ladies around. Join the fun you won’t be disappointed 😊

    So much fun!
  • Judy in WV
    I’d rather listen to them than watch
    I’m addicted. I started rewatching Melrose on Paramount and realized I’d rather listen to this podcast than watch the show! It’s like watching with your girlfriends.
  • kidquertus
    A Dee-light!
    We watched this train wreck of a show religiously during its first run. Your recaps are fantastic! I listen on morning walks and people must think I’m insane for cry-laughing out of context. Desi and Rachel, if y’all ultimately decide to reboot Melrose with your own dialog, take all my money.
  • imfeelingsublime
    Time to start watching melrose place…
    I love Hollywood Crime Scene, so obviously I gave this pod a try. I’ve never watched Melrose Place, but your episode breakdowns sold me on the show. I want to see it in all of its 90’s glory. *weird update* So, I finally started watching the show along with the episodes and I’m watching it on Amazon prime. Idk if it’s amazon or paramount or whoever, but as soon as the first episode started it said Rated 7+ lol weirdos
  • CB0167
    Another hit!
    Update: this is still hilarious. I’ll be listening and realize I’m laughing and smiling the whole time. Loving the interpretation of the sitcom music😂😂😂 10/19/22: Best departure from reality in a long time❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can dip into the most shallow parts of myself😂 The attention to detail is impeccable. Bravo👏
  • fauntana
    Love This!
    I know it’s a lot of work to put together episodes, but I need more than 2 a week haha. And just finished this week’s episodes, glad you are jumping into season 2 next week and aren’t leaving us hanging too long.
  • Katherine Sis
    Binge worthy
    Hilarious. I want to binge and listen to them all, but then I will have to wait for a new episode which is so hard to do. You ladies make my work day so much more fun.
  • Lenticular Thoughts
    Not their best work.
    They can do better. They’re frankly smarter and funnier than this. You can still be slutty, campy, and on-brand with better bad shows. Don’t see this lasting long.
  • girk69
    Only watching Melrose Place bc of this pod!
    Rachel and Desi are hilarious and I love their recaps. I didn’t watch most of the first season because it is so boring but listened to all their recaps. Now I’m obsessed with Melrose place and have binged through season 5.
  • luvv pony
    Whoever called them copycats…
    Shut up. Again with this or whatever it’s called is not nearly as funny, or interesting. I live for this podcast!! It’s so perfect!
  • BustinBuddha
    obsessed !!
    I love desi & rachels other podcast so it’s no surprise I love this one too! I’ve never seen melrose place before but I love listening to their recaps! Their anecdotes about each episode highlight what’s best about trashy dramatic soap operas and what questionable taste the set decorators had back in the 90s. Even if you don’t plan on watching the show, you’ll enjoy listening to each episode!!
  • Kay8387
    So funny!
    Love this podcast! I didn’t watch the show when it originally aired but knew I had to start to follow along!! Keep up the good work!!
  • HappyGirlInBoston
    Obsessed
    I am obsessed with anything that Rachel and Desi put out. I love this so much! I am now watching Melrose Place and Rachel’s impression of Billy Campbell is absolutely spot on! I like to try to pick out what you’re going to comment on.
  • Lue '91
    PLEASE KEEP IT UP. So good.
    Specially for season 2, 3 and 4. A wild ride. Thank you!
  • wednsdayaddms
    Fantastic!
    I would listen to these women talk about anything. You have to check them out, and their other podcast Hollywood Crime Scene.
  • Kimmersis1
    Love it
    I do love it, I look forward to it every week. I do wish Desi was lead narrator on this podcast though.
  • go fawk yourself
    Obsessed with this podcast
    I listen to this every night before I go to bed. Desi and Rachel are hilarious and the recaps are just too good!
  • chelswawhat
    Copycats!!!
    If you want to listen to a good Melrose Place recap podcast go listen to again with this… They’ve been doing that a lot longer and they are a lot better
  • MaplesLeaf
    I LOVE THIS PODCAST!!!!
    I look forward to listening every week! Hilarious:)
  • Joseph90542
    Hilarious
    So much more entertaining than the actual show. Makes driving in LA bearable 😊
  • SJ to Sac Town Gal
    Fun times reminiscing one of my favorite shows
    I used to love watching Melrose Place. That was “event” TV at my house. I have never had time to rewatch the old episodes, so hearing the summaries provided by Rachel and Desi are just so fun to listen to. Thanks for making my days at work a little more fun ladies.
  • Sha_Non13
    Hilariously nostalgic
    I have not watched Melrose Place since it originally aired but Desi and Rachel’s recaps help me to remember everything insane I loved about the show, and Rachel’s Sandy impression cracks me up every time.
  • sanberdoo
    Love these gals
    I love escaping reality to watch Melrose so I can stay up to date with this podcast. Desi and Rachel have a great point of view and they’re hilarious.
  • Jdhess71
    Hilarious
    I had literal tears running down my face I was laughing so hard! I haven’t watched this show in decades, but listening to Desi and Rachel recap the episodes is an absolute highlight of my week! I only gave this a try because I live Hollywood Crime Scene so much and I’m so glad I did! Just so good!
