Dead Eyes

Actor/comedian Connor Ratliff (The Chris Gethard Show, UCB, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) embarks upon a quest to solve a very stupid mystery that has haunted him for two decades: why Tom Hanks fired him from a small role in the 2001 HBO mini-series, Band Of Brothers.

Started listening because of “Tiny Dinos.” Such an amazing story told very well with great guests.
Very Human

This show is Zany. It is unhinged (and deeply relatable) in its unflinching vulnerability to show what actually happens in our minds when we experience rejection and insecurity, as well as how we can shape those experiences into narratives that define our inner and outer lives. Perfect for drowning out minor dental operations or laughing aloud in a courtyard on a lunch break.
Not one to write reviews

I’m not one to write reviews but 7 episodes in and I feel wrong not to. This show is strangely beautiful and inspiring, it’s honestly a work of art.
Favorite podcast

Listening again because I’m still thinking about all these interviews and the perfect tone of the whole show
The most satisfying series I’ve heard

I don’t care what you do for a living, we’ve all had our own dead eyes moment. This reminded me that the very thing I saw as personally tragic or humiliating was not necessarily viewed that way by others. Cathartic journey.
It’s just the interviews that are great

Hey if you are the arts or any interest in the arts the podcast is a wonderful reminder..it happens to all of us. I have to give big time props to the production values of the show. The use of music ..everywhere in the pod is perfect. Also I always liked Aimee Mann but hearing the cuts used in the show has totally got me diving into her catalog. She’s a gem.
One of the best

If you’re just finding this series and wondering whether to invest the time in 3 Series - do it! It is MASTERFUL story telling, very funny, and insightful and so good that I didn’t want to listen to the final episode for so long just to preserve one final new ep. It goes to SO many places you’d never imagine, offers great behind the scenes acting/directing stuff from all kinds of people. And ofc it all finally leads to the icing on the cake!
Everything

Just keep listening to these over and over xoxo
Great podcast

Insightful and funny. Heard about it on David Farrier’s Substack Webworm. So glad I found it.
PLEASE CUT TIES WITH BETTER HELP. Besides that, great podcast. BetterHelp is a scam.
05/09/2024
Better Help is a huge scam and it’s disappointing to hear that you’ve partnered with them despite the countless horror stories. BetterHelp preys on people with real problems and offers no help. In fact, their therapists are so improperly trained that they end up causing more harm by mismanaged treatment. BetterHelp also sells your confidential data and any information disclosed in confidence to their therapists. Their therapists lack boundaries, lack empathy, experience, they’re unprofessional, dismissive, and incompetent. Besides hearing the occasional gross BetterHelp ad and Connor Ratliff’s complicity in helping a horrible company profiting off low income people with mental health issues, this podcast is GREAT. Thanks for making it.
