Spare Parts

This week on Spare Parts, Michelle and Evan are coming to you from a very special hotel episode, which means Michelle is fully in her element.
They get into hotel life, watching War of the Worlds twice in one night, cowboy boot shopping in Calgary, slutty martinis, movie set dynamics, and the version of yourself that only appears when you’re living out of a suitcase.

Then, in Spare Hearts, they answer a listener question about a partner keeping old photos of an ex, the difference between nostalgia and red flags, and whether anyone really needs to memory-wipe their romantic past.

This week on Spare Parts, Michelle and Evan are back together and catching up on the important stuff: Michelle shooting a movie, Evan becoming a New Yorker, scary apartment viewings, and the strange pressure of being number one on the call sheet.

They also get into phone-free set life, the lost art of in-person auditions, acting better in the room than on tape, and why Evan may or may not be an “alpha killer.”

Then, in Spare Hearts, they answer a listener question about a very cinematic opera program romance, a small dating pool, and the emotional aftermath of a big lesbian summer.

This week on Spare Parts, Michelle shares some career news as she gears up to start filming a couple of new projects.

The industry talk continues with a Haters Corner submission from a singer who’s frustrated by people calling themselves “artists” despite never actually working in the industry. Can delusion be a good thing, like they say online… or is it just lying?

Meanwhile, Evan is embracing New York and has launched a “secret” TikTok account documenting his adventures finding blue coffee cups and other fascinating discoveries. It’s not exactly a secret anymore considering he’s announcing it here, but that’s okay. We love ya, buddy.

A classic rom-com Spare Hearts question has our hosts weighing in on the complicated feelings that come with watching your best friend get married when you can’t help but feel like you’re falling behind.

To wrap things up, Michelle issues a few apologies for things she may (or may not?) have said incorrectly. If she missed anything else, please let us know in the comments so she can agonize over it for the next week!

This week on Spare Parts, Evan is settling into his new Brooklyn apartment and soaking up the luxury while it lasts. Is it sustainable? Probably not. But he’s going to enjoy it, damnit.

Meanwhile, Michelle’s dad swings by for a classic boomer-style visit, and the East Coast vs. West Coast debate is back after Michelle confidently declares, “I’ve figured out what my culture is.” It involves sand in the bed, and it kind of makes sense… kind of.

Our hosts also tackle some Spare Hearts questions about rock climbing situationships and mothers-in-law who refuse to respect boundaries. As always, their qualifications are questionable, but their opinions are not.

This week on Spare Parts, Evan ropes his wife’s entire family into helping him choose the perfect sketches for his SNL audition, while Michelle discovers that maybe the healthiest thing you can do with anger… is actually feel it. Turns out that’s a pretty useful skill for actors, too.

They also debate whether reality TV dating stars are genuinely looking for love or just making a savvy career move. After years working on film sets, Michelle and Evan compare production life to reality TV: when you’re living in a bubble, cut off from friends, family, and the real world, feelings can get complicated.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, Michelle’s still homebound with Clementine and somehow 20 episodes deep into Love Island. Everyone needs to stop being so “lustful”.
