Who Needs ? A My Boys Rewatch Podcast

Welcome back to Who Needs? — A My Boys Rewatch, with Jamie Kaler (Mike Callahan) and Michael Bunin (Kenny Moratori). In Episode 2, “Mixed Signals,” the guys break down how early My Boys was still finding its voice — from the Sex and the City-style voiceover to the moment the show starts becoming its own thing.

They talk behind-the-scenes reality: shooting the pilot, disappearing for months, then suddenly getting picked up and rushing into production with no writers’ room in place yet. You’ll hear stories about Crowley’s bar, poker nights, improv tags that snuck into takes, and how “dating” used to mean going home to check your email (yes, really).

The episode also turns heartfelt as they remember and toast Pat Finn — a beloved performer, friend, and one of the funniest, kindest people in the room.

Welcome back to Who Needs? — A My Boys Rewatch, where Jamie Kaler and Michael Bunin revisit Season 1, Episode 3: “Chemistry Is Everything” — the episode where the show fully clicks.

Joining us is Kyle Howard, making his first appearance on the podcast to relive:

The bromance that almost broke the group

Why this episode proved the cast chemistry was real

The voiceover era (and why it had to go)

A real-life car accident outside Paramount Studios

A legendary trailer story involving a bathrobe, scotch, candles… and a frozen laptop screen

How TV pilots, casting, and friendships actually form

Why some jokes hold up — and some definitely don’t

This episode is funny, unhinged, nostalgic, and weirdly heartfelt — a reminder that you can’t manufacture chemistry, you just recognize it when it’s there.

The very first table read

Six auditions to play… yourself

Why “do it better” is the most terrifying director’s note

The pre-Twitter era when posting backstage could get you fired

Guest stars we somehow survived

And the realization that we were all drunk, younger, and wildly confident

If you’ve never seen it—good news: all four seasons are streaming now on Amazon Prime.

We’re rewatching one episode at a time, telling the stories we probably shouldn’t, and bringing on cast, crew, and friends who made the show what it was.
