It’s the Hedwig episode! While we liked the music, we think the plot line fell a bit flat. We discuss how the episode only provides vague descriptions of the musical, the great drag costuming, and Betty and Archie being the center of the plot. We also talk about the reference heavy Lynch episode, Ethel once again being dragged through the mud, and getting to actually see Hiram be evil.

Jughead lives! And we get to the bottom of all the Stone Wall mysteries. We untangle Bughead’s complicated plot to trick the preppies, when different people were brought in, Jonathon getting murdered, and the big misses with Donna’s character. We also cover Archie and Betty pretending to date, Forsythe’s reason for leaving, Mr Dupont’s murder, and Jughead’s incorrect definition of a locked-room mystery.

We have unfortunate news, Forsythe Pendleton Jones III has passed. Or has he? We talk about the big moment and the new Cold War between our protagonists and the preppies. We also discuss no holds barred Betty, Veronica being stuck in the same conflicts with her dad, Archie doing too much, and Mary’s questionable parenting decisions. We also cover Mean Girls, Anastasia and what type of actors we’d like to be. Our amazing cover art is by vedrinic and you can follow them at https://vedrinic.tum...
We’re back with some pretty good episodes of Riverdale this week.

Were a little tired this week but we did into why we’re not super excited about this weeks episodes. We discuss the Cooper family activation phrase, Archie and FP distributing street justice, Jughead facing reality and struggling with his dual life, Betty once again facing her dark side, Veronica becoming a rum entrepreneur, Cheryl setting fire to the past and wonder whether the Serpents are back.

Everybody’s stories start to come to a head and Riverdale decides everyone needs to sort things out in therapy. We discuss the insulated story lines, wonder once again about the geographic locations, the surprising return of Darla, Archie deep frying a turkey, Veronica battling her father, Jughead and Betty finally hanging out and scaring the preppies, Gina Torres killing it, and we break down who took something constructive from therapy and who didn’t.

We’re back! Coming off of 3 weeks away, we ramble and go on a lot of tangents to kick things off. We eventually get into discussion on Archie’s plans to save the community, Veronica’s new half sister and fighting with Hiram, Betty once again being worried about the serial killer gene, Charles’ shady behavior, Jughead investigating whether his grandfathers novel was stolen, and Toni and Cheryl’s goofy times with a spooky doll and killing Cheryl’s uncle.

The episode we’ve been waiting for is finally here!! We discuss the ridiculous (and fun) plot lines, Edgar’s plan (?), his outfit and rocket, Cheryl and Toni fighting over what to do with Jason’s body, Veronica striking out on her own, Jughead having a bad time at Stonewall Prep, Mr Chipping’s lack of authority, and how Polly’s character is all over the place.

We’re back with the start of Riverdale season 4! We open on the memorial episode for Luke Perry before getting into the real start of the season. Turns out it’s fairly normal by Riverdale standards?

It’s the end of Part 2 and Satan comes to Earth! Unfortunately it ends up being not super exciting. We discuss how great Luke Cook is, the unused potential of the trickster devil, Nicks betrayal and redemption and Lilith’s upgrade. We also talk about the Lord of the Rings. We won’t have a new episode next week but we’ll be back in two weeks with the first two episodes of Riverdale season 4!

We’re almost at the end of Part 2 as Sabrina gets godlike powers and sends herself crashing back down to earth. We discuss the Phoenix parallels (both the mythical being and X-men character), Nick being down bad, the under explored potential of mortals living with witches, the hierarchy of the witch world, Hilda’s (literal) body count and the mandrakes embodiment of Sabrina. We’ll watch just the Part 2 finale next week to close out the spooky season! Our amazing cover art is by vedrinic and...
We get two amazing episodes this week! We discuss the arrival of the anti-pope, different views on marriage, Zelda and Lilith being trapped, differences between Harvey and Nick, the practice of being a missionary, and Sabrina as a Jesus allegory.

Happy Lupercalia! Join us as we visit the yearly festival of purging and sex, where Sabrina is forced to confront whether she's even ready for all of it?

We’re back to Sabrina for spooky season! And Sabrina is running headfirst into the Academy patriarchy. We discuss the shows depiction of misogyny and the top person competition, which characters show up to support Sabrina and the men that let her down, Theo’s transition and transphobic bullying, Liliths suffering at the hands of the Dark Lord, Romeo + Juliet and why Nick is a great romantic lead. Plus you get some discussion of demons, the Epiphany and Angels in the Outfield. Our amazing cov...
It’s the end of season 3! It’s a truly ridiculous and silly ending as we get a conclusion to Griffons and Gargoyles, learn about Penelope’s plans, Hiram fights Archie, Betty learns the Farms ultimate plan, the pretty poisons suit up, we get a new Charles and Alice gets exonerated? We’ll be starting Chilling Adventures of Sabrina part 2 next week, watch the first two episodes!

There’s a hot new cult leader in town and Betty’s the only one brave enough to interview him one on one.

It's time for Big Fun, Big Fun! We are delivered to amazing episodes this week to save us from the middle of the season drought. We discuss the characters actually having character arcs, the main characters having plots together, the ups and downs of Cheryl and Toni, chemistry between Archie and Josie, the amazing Heathers the Musical music and the big reveal at the end of the episode! The behind the scenes article we discuss can be found here: https://www.wmagazine.com/story/riverdale-heath...
Another week of us scratching our heads and wondering how did we end up with these plotlines? We discuss how the main 4 never talk to each other, Jughead failing as a leader, Veronica being evil while trying to get her parents to go straight, Archie adopting an evil child, Kevin's weird turn to the Farm, and our big annoyance over Cheryl and Toni fighting.

We make lemonade out of some lemons this week. We discuss the show brushing over huge details, why Betty is the more accurate Marlow, FP as sheriff, Toni getting erased in her own story, Hal continuing to show up even though he has no business being here, and why Archie feels so disconnected from the rest of the show.
