The Jessie Dream Nova’s dreams have always been scary and vivid but this is the first time I think we start to notice that there’s something more to it. Nova has never hallucinated someone she knows before which makes this even more scary than anything she has experienced up till now. Jessie & Nova Jessie [...]
Brady Brady is one of the head nurses at the sleep center and quickly becomes Nova’s main caretaker. He’s a very friendly guy who kind of has “camp counselor” energy so David Bradburn was a great choice to play him. David and Mia really quickly became friends and had really good chemistry in rehearsals and [...]
Lana Episode 2 is the first time we meet Nova’s sister, Lana. Lana comes back into Nova’s life loudly and unexpectedly and that is how she does most things in her life. They haven’t seen each other in a long time and Nova has learned how to “take care of herself” in the time that [...]
Whoa boy it’s the season one finale! You guys don’t mind a cliffhanger, do you? Honestly, this episode was so fun to record, but such a challenge in so many ways. Getting action sequences down can be a struggle when you can’t see anything happening, but there was no world where the “heroes” of our [...]
Ahem. This episode title was not intended to be named after a Harry Styles song, but here we are. What can you do about it now? This is, obviously, the hardest episode so far. But it was so nice to finally get to the root of Heather, someone who I think we don’t really get [...]
This episode was a weird one, as it’s the only episode Anika isn’t in at all. So much of Anika’s journey is about her take on what she’s done, and trying to clear her name from all of the bad press she’s received before we met her. This episode was a chance to get to [...]
SWAMP HANDS is both my favorite episode and the most difficult episode for me. The biggest thing that is insane to me about this episode is the prep work that went into it. For almost all of our scenes, our actors have their scripts in the booth with them. We recorded season one in two [...]
Am I ever going to let Anika be a normal teen? And have something nice??? (Maybe. Who knows. I hope she gets a nice, warm blanket one day. And a nap. Maybe some Hot Cocoa?) (She doesn’t.) Anika tried to have sex and blew up a house party. That’s it. That’s the episode. Miya and [...]
GOOD MORNIN’ AMERICA, and good morning heroes (?). This was one of my favorite episodes to record and write, though potentially one of the least favorites as a listener. To every villain there has to be a hero, and this finally gives us a chance to meet the people Anika has been up against since [...]
STAKEOUT is one of the first times we get to see the severity of Anika’s powers connected to someone important in her life. With Bailey, it’s walking the thin line of starting to utilize Anika’s powers for selfish reasons. I wanted to play with the idea of what they might actually be training Anika for [...]
