Reviews
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...Read full review »

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.

Listening again because I’m still thinking about all these interviews and the perfect tone of the whole show
Aquoisepenguin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/24
Such a great listen. Each episode interesting and well planned with a funny and interesting host at it’s centre. Connor weaves a tale from his pain early in his career and finds he’s not the only one with a ‘dead eyes’ story. In a business that is hard but so often about appearing to be doing...Read full review »

I cannot explain how much I needed to listen to this podcast at this particular point in my life. As an actor who faces rejection and failure constantly, this is a comforting tonic that offers insight into our bizarre industry and the humans at the centre of it.

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.

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...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

Just keep listening to these over and over xoxo

Ok so season 3 isn’t missing, but if you’re a dummy like me looking for it you get confused because it only has a season 1 and 2 listed in sections, and you have to go digging in the “all episodes” list to find the unlabelled season 3 episodes. (This is the greatest podcast but please update...Read full review »

Insightful and funny. Heard about it on David Farrier’s Substack Webworm. So glad I found it.
JaneNE77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/24
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...Read full review »

Only two episodes in and I’m loving this podcast. It’s honest and funny and, as an actor myself, the discussions are totally relatable. Would highly recommend.
Isobel the Brit via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/28/24
I’ve been binge-listening for days now. Love the humour, honesty, and the amazing conversations. Five stars all the way.
Ingylill via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/27/24
What an amazing podcast, it really listed me up when I was in a dark place in my life
Dude1011101 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/20/24
Well written. It’s stays true to it’s promise of being an adventure and a detective story. Lots of great lessons and reminders about silver linings. Even though his guests share stories about losing out on some thing, they laugh and have a good time
podcast24/7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
Hilarious, intriguing, affectionate and many more adjectives around the spectrum! Like an upside down true crime podcast!
AdamH100 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/16/24
A flawlessly produced exploration into being a human artist that is timeless and universal.
drea perk vador via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/24
Great show, but I had a really hard time finding season three. Finally found it under “unknown seasons” at the end of season 2. Just a heads up. Love the show!
slamgranderson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/23
I am more a science and technology type of listener. I never thought I would enjoy a podcast such as this, but Connor is endearing and explores some profound topics. I really enjoy listening.!
majicomac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/23
Can’t stop listening. Maybe you’ll be cast in Band of brothers 2.
SLS'87 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/12/23
The last episode got a ton of attention but this was great from the very beginning. Connor is hilarious.
mspassell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/23
Just finished the whole thing. What a delightful journey Connor takes us on! An inspiring story for anyone who’s ever been rejected before (all of us.) Highly recommend☀️
Pinto Bean Queen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/23
This is such an excellent podcast. Connor is funny and self deprecating. His interview style and way with people is so natural and unfiltered. Such an excellent insight into the industry - the true meaning of this show. Listen from the beginning (there aren’t that many episodes) to get the full...Read full review »

Even if you aren’t an actor or in any way connected to the industry, this show hits on the universal experience of rejection and the stories we tell about them and ourselves in the wake of it all.
tzippiminda via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/23
One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to, great dry humor and great ending. Wait to listen to the last episode, go through the journey.
Maddiittel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/23
Delightful and surprisingly thoughtful and meaningful
Mom suk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/23
I love this podcast
Ellie.Tea via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/23
A+
Hilarious yet surprisingly touching and human. If you love Band of Brothers, Tom Hanks, or the UCB brand of comedy (or, even better, all three) - you’ll love it. And probably even if you don’t. It’s just that good.
OrangeJooze via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 02/24/23
I’ve come to this podcast late, and as an actor with 25 years experience, it’s the funniest and most accurate description of our lives I’ve come across yet. I love it. Highly recommended.
Bunglewire via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/09/23
Coming to this podcast really late and am almost done Season 1 but am loving it! It’s so well-written and thoughtful and I love how it’s basically just about art, self-doubt and living. Thank you!
Pang Dynasty via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/02/23
On paper, this doesn’t sound like something I’d be into. Luckily, I didn’t read the program description, and just started listening. I forget who, but someone on another podcast said it was good, and I just happened to need something new. After just a couple of episodes, I found it interesting...Read full review »
sudont via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/23
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this podcast. The “dead eyes” joke gets old.. but I guess that’s the name of the podcast. In the end, this podcast is genuine, informative, and funny. Connor can make fun of himself and also have deep conversations. I ended up giving a 5 star review because...Read full review »
Catbozz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/23
This shaggy dog podcast is actually very well constructed and edited, and fun all along. It is a story about nothing (or not much of a story) and after much specific research and rambling conversations with many people, known and unknown, it runs into a solid multilayered cake about..life,simply....Read full review »
AgathePercyMortimer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/23
Wonderful 3 seasons dropping down many rabbit holes on the way with a great conclusion & Conner may remind you of Chris Griffin or maybe that’s just me & that’s the short version
Saudired via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/14/23
Found this podcast at the end of 2022, at first I was bummed that I was late to the party, then quickly appreciated that I could binge on the entire delicious program from Season 1 right up through to the end of Season 3 with Tom Hanks. This whole story was beautifully told, humorous, humbling...Read full review »
Eli_in_Brooklyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/23
What a white whale of a story. A triple decker awkward sandwich ultimately resulting in closure and resolution for multiple people. I appreciate that this resonated with so many creative people who felt compelled to come onto the show to talk about their experiences. As an amateur historian I...Read full review »

Hi Connor, Serendipity led me to your podcast ~ insomnia {and feeling too ill to do much else} had me searching on the ‘CBC Listen’ app for something to keep me entertained, distracted from feeling down, or lull me to sleep. Dead Eyes was recommended on ‘Podcast Playlist’, after 4 hours of radio...Read full review »

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this is a beautifully crafted piece of storytelling. Great conversations, funny stories and life lessons. who could ask for more ?!
JadeSpence via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/09/23
This has been sitting in my queue forever. But just this week I was laid off and I suddenly decided to give it a go. Now I’m halfway through in 2 days and I’ve found it extremely comforting. Although I’ve never been in show business, I can relate to the idea that no matter how well you do, you...Read full review »

Wow! I just discovered this show and I’m hooked. One of the most creative and clever podcasts I’ve hear.

It really was all because thanos snapped his baby little fingers period.dot. Simple
Minosaj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/22
I have never written a review for a podcast before but I love this podcast so much that I had to. Dead Eyes is a triumphant, brilliant, hilarious, honest, magical, inspirational journey. Especially recommended for creative people that may feel blocked or wounded in some way. May Connor’s story...Read full review »

I love this podcast from start to finish. Took so many turns, and journeys. Each one was surprising and fun.

itgirl1984 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/22
This podcast started out strong and stuck the landing with episode “Tom” - there were several episodes I could have done without and felt like a bit of a slog. However. Many episodes are exceptional and that last episode was very fulfilling! Congrats to Connor. I have no doubt you will be...Read full review »

I’m sad I know how this podcast ends before even starting it but I'm happy I got to experience the journey. Very zen experience to listen to episodes back to back and here actors all connect on the same experiences and feelings.Read full review »

A masterpiece
SkiMaskWay via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/20/22
Every actor or person dealing with rejection needs to listen to this! Connor takes us on a delightful, cathartic and humorous journey to unpack his disappointment. A well woven podcast that you must listen to from beginning to end.
