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? We discuss Cheryl and Jason, the introduction of Stone Wall Prep, Reggie’s abuse, and Betty working with the FBI.

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 discuss the couples, the complicated issue of Amalia, Zelda marrying for power and Harvey's trauma issues. Then Emily breaks down the meaning behind all the tarot cards we see in our anthology episode.

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!

We’re almost at the end of the season and thankfully it continues to be good. We discuss Archie’s boxing career, Jones family game night, Cheryl and Toni being wishy washy about the Farm, Betty finding out big secrets and the return of the Black Hood.

There’s a hot new cult leader in town and Betty’s the only one brave enough to interview him one on one. We also get the a serpent boxer team up, Gladys arming children, Alice in a new white pantsuit, farmies talking to the dead, and Betty kidnapping her mom.

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.

We hit some low points this week as Riverdale picks up from a midseason break and starts spinning its wheels. We discuss the long awaited bear attack, the increased separation between our main characters, Archie refusing to learn the right lessons, Jughead crossing lines and scolding the serpents, Betty living through hell (but trying her best to change it), and Veronica and Reggie's romantic pairing. Our amazing cover art is by vedrinic and you can follow them at https://vedrinic.tumblr.com...
Riverdale gets really ridiculous and we’re having an extra good time with it (with some big caveats). We discuss Hiram’s strange plan, Archie trying to get himself killed, connections to East of Eden and Death of a Salesman, Veronica’s big casino night, the haphazard storytelling of the Sisters of Quiet Mercy and the history of women’s incarceration, and spotty character writing.

Things are constantly happening on Riverdale but this week things are really popping off. We have a prison break, Jughead getting way into G&G (and then forgetting about it), Archie leaving town and Betty getting to the bottom of all the parents fishy behavior. They also lock up Betty for being right!

It’s the hot new thing in town; Gryphons & Gargoyles. People are saying kids are dying from it & have even gotten hurt in the past. They’re saying it’s so addicting and is enabling kids to hurt each other. I hope none of the parents have a super secret past playing this thing… Also Archie is caught in an underground prison fight ring.

It’s good to be back in Riverdale! We cover Archie’s trial and subsequent jailing at the super max juvenile prison. We also discuss the supposed accuracy of juvenile court, Alice’s turn into the crunchy movement, FPs slutty little glasses, Griffins and Gargoyles, and how everyone’s shirt is constantly popping off. We also learn about Sesame Park and all the muppet friends that occupy the Canadian tv show. Our amazing cover art is by vedrinic and you can follow them at https://vedrinic.tumbl...
We wrap up part 1 of Sabrina with a cataclysmic ghost parade and a holiday special! We discuss Sabrina and Harvey’s separation, all the mortals finding out about Sabrina, Nicks devotion, Sabrina turning to the dark side, creepy Yule demons, and folklore and Christian saints that inform the Christmas special.

We’ve got a great two parter this week! We discuss Sabrina trying to spare Harvey from any hurt and royally messing up, what it means to help other people, when you’re going against their wishes and when you can’t fix things. We also talk about the various sibling relationships, Dorothea getting Susie to do mischief, and Blackwood being the worst.

Happy feast of feast everyone! We’re excited to gather around the table, enjoy the sacrifice of a witch and engage in old misogynist traditions made new. Plus we also get a special exorcism of one Jesse Putnam as a treat! Plenty of Catholic ideas to go around for your formerly Catholic hosts to discuss.
