'Finding Felicity' ENCORE: Ep. 11 – ‘Gimme an O!’ (Or, 'Nothing Sexier Than a Planner')
Welcome to Finding Felicity, a podcast about life, love, and growing up – no matter how old you are – through the lens of the J.J. Abrams/Matt Reeves hit TV show, Felicity.
Finding Felicity launched in September 2018 to mark the 20th Anniversary of Felicity, the hit J.J. Abrams/Matt Reeves TV show that made Keri Russell a star. The original 32 episodes of the podcast were released between September 2018 and October 2020.
Episode 11 of Finding Felicity is titled Gimme An O! (Or, Nothing Sexier Than a Planner), and this week we talk about Felicity approaching her first sexual experience in the most focused and goal-oriented way possible, Julie and Ben getting closer, and the fact that they really need to start writing Elena better on this show. P.S.: Noel is still trash.
This week, Teresa breaks the format a little by having another Felicity newbie as a guest co-host! Social worker and theater director/producer/performer Theo M. started watching the show along with Finding Felicity! Now, he’s bringing his experience as a former sex educator to the podcast, and the two talk about Felicity and Noel, their own “first times,” and the fact that “virginity” is a useless (and harmful) construct.
