Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast

Hollywood Babylon: Ghosts, Meta Jokes, and Die Hard ReferencesWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor as they dive into Supernatural Season 2, Episode 18, "Hollywood Babylon"—a meta-filled romp through a haunted movie set where Dean Winchester discovers his natural calling as a production assistant. This episode originally aired April 19, 2007, and remains one of Nate's most-watched favorites for good reason.When a horror film production on Stage 9 becomes plagued by actual supernatural deaths, Sam and Dean go undercover to investigate. What follows is a love letter to bad horror movies, industry in-jokes, and the show's willingness to poke fun at itself. From Gilmore Girls references (complete with a close-up of Jared Padalecki) to jokes about filming in Vancouver, this episode established Supernatural's self-aware tone early in its 15-year run. Dean flirts with scream queen Tara Benchley, discovers a disgruntled screenwriter is using real summoning rituals, and delivers an iconic Die Hard reference—"Come out to the coast, we'll have a few laughs"—that earns a drink multiplier in the game.The drinking game rules included taking a drink for screams, "son of a bitch" utterances, ghost appearances, Dean eating or flirting, and death scenes. The real challenge? Keeping track of all those screams. Krissy counted four; Nate estimated ten. Both hosts agreed the ghost appearances and screams carried the game, though some rules only triggered once or twice. The episode's highlight remains its commentary on Hollywood's creative process—a bitter writer uses occult knowledge to make ghosts murder for him after executives ruin his script. As Sam points out, "You find out there's an afterlife and this is what you do with it?"Additional Highlights:The boys never explain how Sam's 2007 camera phone can see ghosts (and never use this trick again)Don Stark (Bob from That '70s Show) plays the ill-fated producer who meets his end via industrial fanDean's genuine enthusiasm for terrible horror movies and celebrity spotting shows his softer sideThe episode features an Enochian summoning ritual—yet the show still pretends angels aren't realKrissy rated the drinking game 2 out of 5 mini Philly cheesesteaks; Nate gave it 4 out of 5Krissy and Nate celebrate how "Hollywood Babylon" set the template for Supernatural's meta episodes throughout its entire run—from "The French Mistake" to "Scooby Natural" to "Fan Fiction." The willingness to not take itself too seriously became the show's secret weapon, separating it from procedural dramas and making it endearing for 15 seasons. Next up: Season 10, Episode 13, "Hibbing 911," featuring Sheriff Jody Mills with rules including drinking whenever someone says "sheriff" (good luck with that one).Want more Gank That Drank?

Weekend at Bobby's: The Hunter Who Does It AllWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor dive into Supernatural Season 6, Episode 4, "Weekend at Bobby's"—Jensen Ackles' directorial debut and a love letter to everyone's favorite gruff hunter. This bottle episode gives Jim Beaver the spotlight he deserves as we witness Bobby Singer juggling demon torture, monster research, FBI visits, and a very persistent neighbor with famous peach cobbler—all while trying to get his soul back from Crowley.The hosts explore the brilliance of this episode's structure, following Bobby through an exhausting weekend of phone calls from hunters (including the always-hilarious Garth), dealing with foreign monsters popping up in America, and navigating an increasingly complicated situation with the King of Hell. The emotional heart comes when Bobby finally unleashes on Sam and Dean for calling him "selfish," delivering one of the series' most memorable rants. Nate and Krissy also discuss the questionable logistics of Rufus crisscrossing the country, the wood chipper solution to monster problems, and why Bobby's neighbor Marcy probably regrets bringing over that cobbler.Additional highlights:The drinking game rules include Bobby answering calls (the heavy hitter), "balls," son of a bitch, and outdated 2010 techMark Sheppard's Crowley steals every scene, from his Bobby impression to complaining about managing demons like a bad office jobThe clever reveal of how to kill demons permanently—burn their original human bonesJensen Ackles' directorial choices and the use of "The Gambler" during Bobby's research montageWhy a wood chipper might be the ultimate supernatural weaponThe hosts rate the drinking game 4 out of 5 phone calls and agree this is an episode they could rewatch immediately.

Werewolves, Wisconsin Beer, and Winchester Brothers DramaWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor sink their teeth into Supernatural Season 9, Episode 12 "Sharp Teeth" while sipping on Ruby Red Grapefruit White Claw and Wisconsin's Fat Squirrel brown ale. When Garth goes missing and turns up as roadkill in Wisconsin, the Winchester brothers discover their favorite hunter has joined a pack of "good" werewolves—or as they prefer to be called, lycanthropes.Can Monsters Be Good?This episode tackles one of Supernatural's most compelling questions: can monsters coexist peacefully with humans? While Dean remains skeptical of Garth's new werewolf family and their raw meat dinner parties, Sam takes a more measured approach. The hosts dive deep into the parallels between monster prejudice and real-world discrimination, noting the episode's uncomfortable echoes of eugenics when the villainous step-mother reveals her "purebred" supremacist agenda. Meanwhile, the Winchester brothers' relationship hits another rough patch as they struggle with the aftermath of Gadreel's possession and Dean's new Mark of Cain.The drinking game rules kept things lively with slaps (3-5 depending on who's counting), biblical references, Garthisms, and multiple shouts of "Ragnarok!" The hosts particularly enjoyed the awkward family dinner scene where Dean sits stone-faced while werewolves tear into raw hearts with their bare hands—yet somehow still bake normal pie for dessert.Additional Highlights:DJ Qualls delivers another memorable performance as the beloved hunter-turned-lycanthropeWisconsin setting allows for perfect Fat Squirrel beer pairingClassic "bringing in the sheeps" church hymn gets stuck in your headDean's lightning-fast knife throw showcases his Mark of Cain enhanced abilitiesThe only Winchester hug goes to Garth, not Sam (emotional damage: severe)Both hosts awarded "Sharp Teeth" four stars, praising its exploration of moral ambiguity while acknowledging some pacing issues. The episode successfully balances monster-of-the-week storytelling with ongoing mythology, though viewers might find themselves craving more Garth screentime and fewer Winchester brother therapy sessions.Ready for More Supernatural Drinking Games?Join Krissy and Nate for early, ad-free episodes and bonus content by becoming a member at trustory.fm/join.

Welcome to the Memory Lane Motel: Dean's Mind Gets Wiped CleanWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast. Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor as they dive into Supernatural Season 12 Episode 11 "Regarding Dean" — a heart-wrenching yet hilarious episode where Dean Winchester loses his memory thanks to a witch's dying curse. What starts as Dean thinking he had an "epic night" quickly turns serious when he can't remember his own name, leading to some of Jensen Ackles' finest acting moments.The hosts craft drinking game rules around Dean's bunny encounters, waffle cravings, and his repeated use of "awesome" while navigating his memory loss. Krissy and Nate particularly praise the emotional weight of Dean's mirror scene where he desperately tries to remember who he is, with that single tear rolling down his cheek becoming an instant classic moment. They also celebrate Ruth Connell's nuanced performance as Rowena, who gets some beautiful character development through her heart-to-heart conversations with memory-wiped Dean.The discussion explores how Dean's joy upon learning he's a monster hunter contrasts sharply with his usual misery about the job — a fascinating glimpse into what he might be like unburdened by trauma. The hosts note how this episode perfectly balances comedy with genuine pathos, making it both entertaining and emotionally resonant.Additional Highlights:The trivia reveals the episode title references the Harrison Ford film Regarding HenryTwo bunnies on set were actually named Sam and DeanDiscussion of why Sam doesn't immediately recognize something's wrong with DeanAnalysis of the Lachlans as somewhat generic CW villains compared to the episode's emotional corePraise for the final montage set to "Broomstick Cowboy"The hosts rate this drinking game a solid 3-4 out of 5 bunnies, noting that while some rules only triggered once or twice, the episode's emotional beats and Jensen's performance make it a must-watch. Next up: Season 9, Episode 12 "Sharp Teeth"—a Garth-centric episode exploring the question of whether what you are matters less than who you are.Connect with the hosts: Learn more about Krissy and Nate's live comedy shows at the Neighborhood Comedy Theatre in downtown Mesa, Arizona.

Dragons, Virgins, and Cringe-Worthy One-Liners: A Supernatural AdventureWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor as they dive into Supernatural Season 6 Episode 12 "Like A Virgin"—the much-anticipated dragon episode that Supernatural fans constantly reference. After Sam's soul is restored and Dean's heroic complex kicks into overdrive, the boys face mythical beasts, questionable pickup lines, and enough cringe moments to fuel a drinking game.The Soul-Crushing Setup & Dragon DramaThe episode picks up with Sam finally getting his soul back from Hell, complete with Death's mysterious wall keeping those traumatic memories locked away. But there's no time for emotional processing when virgin girls start disappearing and getting "snatched" across the country. The investigation leads to everyone's favorite mythical creatures—dragons—who apparently haven't been seen for 700 years but are now collecting virgins and gold like some twisted fantasy game. Dean channels his inner knight by attempting to wield the legendary Sword of Brunswick, though his approach involves more C4 explosives than chivalry.Lies, Maps, and Awkward Not-HugsThis episode delivers peak brother dynamics as Dean desperately tries to protect Sam from the truth about his soulless year, leading to a drinking game goldmine of lies between the boys. Bobby struggles with his own feelings about Sam's return, Castiel remains endearingly naive, and there's an abundance of maps scattered throughout their research montages. The hosts particularly enjoyed counting the cringe-worthy moments and pop culture references, including Dean's Comic-Con quip and various Batman jokes that definitely didn't age well:Dragon fight sequences that left viewers wanting more actual dragon transformationsDr. Visyak's introduction as Bobby's mysterious contact with serious chemistry potentialThe revelation of Eve as the "Mother of All" setting up the season's big badDrinking game rules included shots for awkward not-hugs and sips for every "dragons" mentionOver 50+ drinks total for players following the full rulesetFinal Thoughts & Next Episode PreviewWhile "Like A Virgin" delivers on Supernatural mythology and character development, both hosts agreed the dragon execution felt budget-limited despite the episode's ambition. The real treasure lies in Sam's emotional return and the setup for bigger threats ahead. Next episode ventures into Season 12 territory with "Regarding Dean"—promising bunny encounters, witch drama, and what the hosts describe as "top notch work from Jensen Ackles" in a frequently memed episode.Connect with Gank That DrankCatch Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor live at Neighborhood Comedy Theatre in Mesa, Arizona, where they'll buy you a drink at the Sacred Pint if you mention you're a listener.

Meanwhile, Gary-in-Sam's-body wreaks havoc, crashing Baby and throwing away all their cell phones before Dean finally catches on. The hosts praise how this standalone episode works perfectly for newcomers while still delivering classic Supernatural moments, including a satisfying tag-team exorcism ending with Dean's signature "Adios, bitch."The drinking game rules kept things lively with classics like "drink when they drink" (9 times!), plus episode-specific gems like taking shots for Sasquatch references and Gary getting "glutened."

This fan-favorite episode blends video game nostalgia with emotional family drama, creating one of the series' most memorable Charlie-centric stories.The Deep Dive DiscussionThe hosts explore how "Pac-Man Fever" masterfully balances Charlie's comedic FBI impersonation fumbles with the heartbreaking revelation about her comatose mother. They discuss how the episode transforms Charlie from a quirky recurring character into someone with genuine emotional depth, particularly through her relationship with Dean that evolves into a true big brother/little sister dynamic. The video game dream sequence serves as both thrilling action and metaphor for Charlie's guilt over her parents' accident.Nate and Krissy praise the episode's ability to deliver both supernatural thrills and emotional payoffs, noting how the final scenes—from Dean's protective kiss on Charlie's forehead to the brothers' sincere hug—represent some of the series' most genuine moments of familial love. They also can't help but rant about the boys' persistent habit of buying six-packs instead of buying beer in bulk, which becomes a running joke throughout their discussion.Additional Highlights:The drinking game features rules for gunshots (the "doozy" rule), Sam's declining health, and Charlie's signature "dude" catchphraseDiscussion of guest star appearances, including Manny Jacinto's brief role as one of the unfortunate gamersAnalysis of how the episode handles the moral complexity of Sam killing a teenage djinnAppreciation for the episode's perfect blend of War Games references and emotional storytellingDebate over Charlie's mysteriously accurate shooting skills and whether video game experience translates to real-world marksmanshipFinal ThoughtsBoth hosts agree that "Pac-Man Fever" stands as one of Supernatural's finest episodes, successfully deepening Charlie's character while delivering the monster-of-the-week format fans love.
