i thought it was just a reunion of the cast? why the fuck are there guests anyway? god, this show never stops being annoying.

I’m assuming the guests are people who are fans of the show. At best it’s most likely glorified cameos.

But some were on the show like Reese Witherspoon. So she’s probably gonna add tidbits about her time on there.

i figured but saying they're guest starring on a reunion is still strange to me.

[genbu_no_miko24]

Eh not really cause it’s a retrospective look-back and usually shows like that will invite famous fans of the show to mention favorite memories, episode, or highlight the impact of a show.

I imagine is just them talking about the show and being fans...I dont think they will be acting lol it's so many people

[spellgabbana]

i figured as much but it's also weird to say they're guest starring.

It is weird to put it as they’re guest stars, but it seems like HBO Max have really been pushing ambiguous wording as much as possible to try and make this thing sound bigger than it is. I mean I guess it is working for them though as it’s caused so many people to still be thinking that it’s going to be an actual reunion with the characters, rather than simply interviewing the actors and fans of the show for a retrospective

I think you’re thinking of Elle Macpherson, not Cindy Crawford?

Thomas Lennon was in one episode (Joey's hand twin).
