Roisin Moloney • Headstuff Aug 19, 2021

"Zach and Donald’s banterful behaviour is balanced tremendously by the guests who share their point-of-view from an ensemble actor or crew’s perspective. Overall, this podcast has allowed Scrub fans to watch the show along with Zach and Donald with a fresh pair of eyes."

"Braff and Faison take phone calls from fans who want advice, and this episode ended with one, further curtailing the time they had to do the actual recap. I don’t need to know that Zach Braff feels good, though privileged, about going to the farmers market and buying ethically farmed meat. Like, duh, of course you do!"

"It may come as a shock to some that Braff and Faison's chemistry on Scrubs is so strong, but that is because the two became very close friends while filming and continued that friendship even after the show concluded. This connection makes the podcast much more exciting as the chemistry is translated into the discussions. In the end, the podcast has been this comforting light in these dark times. Every episode leaves audiences laughing and crying along with the hosts, producers and guests as they talk about the fun they had and how they're keeping busy during the quarantine."

"A reminder why the show touched so many people - and how it became as popular as it did - the podcast is a must-listen for even the vaguest of Scrubs fans among us. It's great. It's an easy listen. It's content that isn't Covid-19 related. Get on it."

Rob Crowther IV • The Pop Break May 5, 2020

"The podcast is a beautiful amalgamation of nostalgia, trivia, watch-along, and lots of singing from Donald Faison — my favorite part of the show. This gives you all the feels just like any Scrubs episode. Hearing these two laugh together and talk about one of my favorite shows of all time makes me smile from ear to ear every time. For anyone looking for just a little more Scrubs in their life, this is the perfect podcast and earns a rare 10 out of 10 from me."

Hannah Verdier • The Guardian Apr 10, 2020

"If you’re deep in Scrubs rewatch territory right now, this new podcast from doctor double act Zach Braff and Donald Faison is what you need. The anecdotes flow freely as Braff describes the moment they became JD and Turk and their bromance began immediately. "
