About this episode
Today we're deep diving the Dawson's Creek pilot episode and discussing the live reunion show. "Your emerging hormones aren't developing a thang for me, are they?" Jillian went to the Dawson's Creek Class Reunion in New York where the cast performed a live reading of the show's pilot episode! She tells all about the event, gushes over Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson, and reviews Lin-Manuel Miranda's performance stepping in for James Van Der Beek. Then teen TV fangirl Jillian got her husband Tyler to watch the first episode of Dawson's Creek. They discuss Joey Potter's locker room talk, Pacey Witter and the inappropriate teacher Tamara, Dawson's movie obsession, Michelle Williams, Steven Spielberg, and Tyler tries to predict where the show is going. 00:00:00 Pilot opening scene reenactment 00:01:22 Introduction 00:02:32 Jillian attended Dawson's Creek reunion 00:07:56 Lin-Manuel Miranda as Dawson 00:12:21 Cast seems very close 00:15:54 Introduction part 2 - reunion and "Pilot" episode 00:17:26 Top 5 moments of Dawson's Creek Class Reunion 00:18:09 Fire alarm went off during Dawson's Creek reunion 00:19:28 Who played which character 00:20:59 Ending scene with "I'll Stand by You" 00:23:01 Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson being cute 00:25:53 James Van Der Beek's video appearances 00:26:30 Singing the theme song "I Don't Want to Wait" 00:28:41 Steven Spielberg made a video 00:30:46 Final thoughts on the reunion 00:31:41 Dawson's Creek "Pilot" review and realistic dialogue 00:34:57 Character types 00:37:25 Joey Potter talk 00:42:42 Pacey Witter and influence on American Pie 00:45:57 Video rental stores 00:47:32 Dawson's parents and the Joey & Dawson dynamic 00:50:32 Capeside High School 00:51:05 Tyler's Takes 00:51:48 Opening shots of the pilot 00:52:45 Forrest Gump 00:54:01 Dawson's Letterboxd four favorite films 00:55:47 Inappropriate teacher Tamara 00:56:08 Dawson ruining the end of Psycho 00:56:45 Joey's boat 00:57:16 Dawson making a movie 00:59:06 Show's love triangle and Jen 01:01:36 Dawson's film interests today 01:05:37 Will Tyler watch the whole series? 01:06:56 Tyler tries to predict what happens in Dawson's Creek 01:09:28 Final thoughts on Dawson's Creek Buy our merch: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PreviouslyOnTeenTV Follow Previously On Teen TV on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/previouslyon_teentv/ Follow Previously On Teen TV on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@previouslyon_teentv Subscribe to our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe2lgvvZGKMrQ8v24FmDdWQ?sub_confirmation=1
