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? 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!

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.
