Friends stars Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow reunited for an episode of Variety's "Actors on Actors" series.
The stars said they had previously planned a rewatch project.
Aniston and Kudrow agreed the idea was a winner.
Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow have considered doing a rewatch podcast, too.
In an era when the stars of shows such as Boy Meets World, Family Matters, and The Office regularly dissect their long ago–ended hit series, it's not surprising that the Friends stars have thought about doing the same.
"Remember, we were gonna do a rewatch podcast thing?" Kudrow, who played Phoebe, said to Aniston, who played Rachel, on the June 3 season premiere of Variety's "Actors on Actors" series.
Aniston did recall: "Remember, we were gonna do that!"

Kudrow clarified that the rewatch was "not a podcast but a thing."
Aniston confirmed that the women were going to go "through the episodes." She added, "That was a great idea" wondering what happened to it.
Kudrow didn't know, but the many fans of the show would likely support most any project they proposed.

In addition to Kudrow and Aniston, the cast of the beloved sitcom about a group of pals living together in New York City starred Courteney Cox (Monica), Matt LeBlanc (Joey), David Schwimmer (Ross), and Matthew Perry (Chandler). While Perry died in October 2023 at the age of 54, the surviving cast members have remained tight.
More than 20 years after it ended in 2004, Friends remains a very big deal. In addition to frequent reruns and streaming on HBO Max, the NBC sitcom still draws devotees with official merchandise, which currently includes a slow cooker with the logo and cardboard cutouts of the gang at the online store, and an interactive exhibit of the set at the Friends Experience in Las Vegas.
Kudrow had noted in June 2024 that she was rewatching the series to remember Perry.

In March, the Comeback actress talked about the kind of thing that might be discussed on such a podcast during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, when she said she'd texted LeBlanc after watching a scene they shared that she still found particularly funny.
"It was last night or the night before where Alec Baldwin was in the episode, and I remember Alec Baldwin was there [filming]," she said of the episode titled "The One in Massapequa" from season 8. "I didn't remember what we were doing. But we're at the Gellers' anniversary party, and Joey and Phoebe are talking, and Joey says, 'This is the worst party! I took forever to get to the buffet line. I get up there, and I almost slipped on a giant booger!'"
Turns out, Joey had wrongly identified an oyster that Phoebe had thrown on the floor.
"I started crying, I was laughing so hard," Kudrow told Kimmel. "Yes, tears."
LeBlanc's response to her was that they "had laughs on that show," she recalled.
