Well this is it! I’m almost all caught up on the podcast now so after the next recaps the recaps will be on their monthly AMAs until they start putting out episodes for Season 2. I’m so happy to be doing them and love that the girls are enjoying reading them! The Podcast Page shared my last recap again, so sweet! So I think I’m gonna do just the next two episodes this time becusae this got long again due the random episode having me in tears and me having SOOO much to say!!
So this next episode was wiht Andy Mikita who is a director that has worked with the girls on Virgin River’s earlier seasons. He said he’s been doing directing for 20 years and has several hours put into it. The girls spoke about working with them , they talked a lot about the relationshpo between the actor/director. He talked about different experiences on set. The interview was really awesome and insightful as you really got to get more of a look into how a TV show is made. There is just SOO much that is put into it.Actors need a lot more credit! He seems like such a wonderful nice guy! There was a funny moment where Zibby spooke about being a writer and I think you can get this vibe she thinks her wirting isn’t that good and Alex reaction that was so funny!! She almsot started giving her shit for her it but she just gave Zibby a funny look instead! Andy was surprised to learn that Zibby did theater so they talked about that a litlte bit. It was a great episode!!
Okay so I’m on the next episode. I am only 17 minutes into it and I’m cryiing. They got into a discussion about the photoshoot they had just done and Zibby opened up about how she had a hard time with it. Zibby has spkoken so many times on the pod about how she is hard on herself with certain aspects like how she looks sometimes, or how she does a scene. I just want to say Zibby if you are reading this that you are NOT alone in that feeling of being hard on yourself. I think that’s why I started crying because I am the same way only with me it isn’t so much about my looks as it is about certain actions I do that I just dwell on at times.
A lot of things I’m hard on myself about is stuff that my best friend (she’s my Alex, her name is Natalie) is always telling me i need to forgive myself for becuase what happened wasn’t actually my fault. I would give SOOO much to have a sitdown conversation with you and Alex on the pod to talk about those things with you guys but I know that you have a certain format that you follow with the podcast. I just sit here and as I watch these episodes of you guys I wish SOOO badly I was a part of that friendship the two of you have because it is so deeply special! I hope you understand what i mean there when I say about being a part of the friendship! But I also have that special friendship with Natalie. And Zibby I just want to say I’m proud of you for being so open and honest and talking your way thorugh it, and letting Alex be there to console you that day even though you didn’t want to cry you still let her in. And Alex i hope you know how special that moment was because I can tell just by watching this and Zibby’s even mentioned that before that she just doesn’t let anyone in and doesn’t trust that easily so it is so fucking special you two shared that moment! I know it is hard and I’m so thankful you let Alex in like that because you need someone like that much like I need Natalie! xox Anways back to the recapping!!
Alex mentioned how they both (She and Zibby) both have an internal struggle when it comes to themselves. Alex has mentioned a couple times on the pod about being bullied when she was younger. I was bullied to and its aweful. You know what though Alex I am so proud of you becuase look at you out there in this life, living your best life, on the best TV show showing them all that you are NOT stupid! You’re brilliant beautiful and the best Mama, and the best freind who needs to protect Zibby at all costs!! Oh and Alex!! I need to tell you my sister had the same thing happen to her with her two boys when she was having them! The oldest who is 12 now did not want to come out so it led to the doctor doing a c-section, and with the second they had to use the suction thing to get him out during the c-section! The only difference with her story is she never pushed with either of them. LOL. The rest of the episode they talked about the photoshoot some more. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this ended though becaus Ben texted Zibby at the end a little peek of her pictures from the photoshoot and she actually really liked how it turned out. Alex gave her a little I told you so and they high fived!! I agree Zibby that Alex is such a good friend!!
Well guys two more after this and then I’m caught up!! It has been so much fun!
