Dead Ends

What’s a better idea to escape your problems than getting away to a cabin? Hold on I’m getting word that your problems still remain with you. O well, might as well make things as awkward as possible on the trip then. We discuss the Vughead kiss, telling towns people you’re alone at the cabin, Cheryl coming out, Kevin and Josey having terrible parents, burying bodies and the P

We have two fantastic and ridiculous episodes this week! We discuss homoeroticism and wrestling, Hiram and Archie’s pissing contest, Veronica's confirmation, Kevin beating Archie at wrestling, Jugheads white savior complex, Betty and Chic’s weird turn, and the best character name on Riverdale (maybe television?). We also talk a lot about our Catholic upbringings. Our amazing co

It’s Christmas time in Riverdale which mostly means exes exchange gifts but don’t replace the love notes they wrote before they broke up. We discuss Barchie, the lackluster Joseph Conway plot, Veronica being brought in by her parents, why the serpents are happy to move schools, Jughead throwing a fit about his serpent jacket, and Chic being the creepiest dude on the planet. We

An interesting episode setup unfortunately doesn’t mean a great episode and we both find the episodes a bit weak. We discuss the thin horror premises, guest start Tony Todd, bad depictions of gay romance, Alice stepping back into her snake skin, the infamous serpent dance & unpack what makes an interesting relationship conflict.

Heavy episode this week and a content warning up to that this episode has a fair bit of discussion about sexual assault. We discuss Nick St Clair, the background production for writing Cheryl's plotline, the episode coming out around the Harvey Weinstein allegations & writing well rounded women characters. There's also still plenty of fun as we talk through Alice stepping into

Riverdale is here. The show steps on the accelerator and moves into a new melodramatic gear. We cover Archie’s crusade and the red circle, all the new outside characters, high school gang violence, get annoyed at Betty and Jughead, Hiram loving the chaos, Hermione being hot and cold and ponder what Jughead’s school situation is.

We begin a new season as all of our protagonists are in disarray. We discuss Archie’s turmoil, Fred Andrew’s nightmares, Cheryl taking charge, Jughead’s new serpent allies, the introduction of Hiram Lodge and everyone’s issues with their parents (which is a very long list).

What a way to end the season. Riverdale really sticks the landing with both the reveal of Jason's killer and a finale episode dedicated to character arcs. We talk about how well everything is tied up, how gorgeous these episodes continue to look, Betty's great speech, and review how each of the characters has (and hasn't) grown over the season.

Somehow we’re already rapidly approaching the end of this season as the mystery really picks up this week. We discuss Jughead’s birthday, how different characters express control, FP attending the high school party, Cheryl starting to rebel, and Betty being on the wrong end of Jughead’s ire. We also wonder why no one will tell Betty about Archie and Veronica?? We also discuss

A Cheryl focused episode on the Blossom family? It looks absolutely gorgeous? And the fashion is amazing? We couldn’t ask for a better time this week. We discuss the weird Blossom family vibes and using Archie, why Betty continues to be the best, in universe pun names, Archie being the dumbest boy alive, wonder why nobody knows FP is a serpent, the cooper family trauma, pondering
