This marathon podcast features a brief interview Liz had with Tricia Helfer, and a ton of listener comments.

You’ll love Gray’s interview with Norman Buckley… he edited and directed The O.C., won an Eddy award for editing the Chuck pilot episode, and now he directs for not only Chuck but Gossip Girl, Privileged, 90210, and more. Where (and why?) did his cat and his trip to France appear in Chuck? And what key storylines were cut from the pilot episode, that might have made it a different show?

Also, he tells about the new Rockville, CA web series, which he is directing for Chuck and Gossip Girl creator Josh Schwartz. Watch for it on theWB.com starting March 17th.

Mel & Liz also have some news briefs, and will be back with a full episode next week, including commentary on the MI-6 arc. Keep an eye on your iTunes!

We’re finally back, with part 2 of our writers series, featuring Ali Adler!  It’s girls’ night, as Gray is working 90 hour work weeks right now finishing his own TV show.  But look on the bright side, you get to hear 100% female perspective from Mel, Liz, and Ali!

Many apologies from Gray on the lateness of this episode — he had to deal with a sudden family emergency on top of his already swamped schedule.  We’ll be back firing on all cylinders very soon!

Part 1 of our writers series features Phil Klemmer, who also wrote for Veronica Mars.

The 3D return of Chuck is on Monday… do you have your SoBe 3D glasses? If you’re in Canada, Chuck will not be in 3D – unless you are in Toronto and want to come to Gray’s Chuck night!

We also have a 3D contest with a very cool prize donated by Chuck composer Tim Jones, news, a pile of spoilers, and more!

Next up: part 2 of our writers series, featuring Ali Adler. Watch for it in your iTunes next week!
