Filled with new interviews and behind-the-scenes insights from cast members including Kelly Bishop, Jared Padalecki, Keiko Agena, Sally Struthers, and Chad Michael Murray, Drink Coffee, Talk Fast reflects the series' signature rapid-fire, caffeine-fueled dialogue, exploring the multi-generational fandom, cultural history, and writing style of the show.

What better way to kick off the fest then an exploration of a long-form narrative show that captured the zeitgeist and created multi-generations of fans.
