Supernatural Season 10: He Smells Like a Hollister

Don’t cry that single man tear, Taekia and Leah are here, as always, with your weekly dose of Supernatural analysis and delirious commentary. We’ve got a lot of feelings about Charlie, as expected, and break down the 200th episode the only way a true fan can: constantly giggling and on the verge of tears. Hit play and enjoy the madness!

His Dark Materials, Golden Compass, Ch 18-19: We Stan a Goop Queen

BEARS! We are in Svalbard and there are a lot of bears about, none of which stands as tall as Lyra.

Supernatural Season Gr8: I Don’t Need to Co-sign That

Quick – guess how long we spent talking about Sacrifice? We’ll give you a hint: way too long. Taekia and Leah go extra deep on Season 8 because really what else would you expect from them? Multiple tablets, angel factory settings, Amelia’s real machinations, and the little ship that could (don’t judge us, mom) are all part of this one.

Supernatural Season 7: Time for Redemption

Whoaaaaaa we’re halfway there! Do you remember how good Season 7 actually was? Probably not, because BOY were Leah and Taekia surprised at how much fun they had rewatching it. Join them as they can’t help but say “Dick” a million times, wax poetic over how much they love Lucifer, and go pretty hard on other cultural uses of the song “Poison.”

Supernatural Season 6: Look. We All Know What Season This Is.

No matter how many story beats and plot points they tried to throw at them, Taekia and Leah made it through season 6 and so shall you! We talk – and groan – our way through Soulless Sam, Eve, and all those Campbells (Coming to a store near you – COLLECT THEM ALL!)

His Dark Materials, Golden Compass, Ch 16-17: The Fields of Evil

It is an emotional episode this week as we walk with Lyra down the cold, steel mile at Bolvangar. Cry with us, laugh with us, BE EXTRA with us. Also, we have a new segment! We’ll start off with a sorting (this time Lee Scoresby) (00:02:13), followed by our breakdown of chapters 16-17 (00:07:56). Then we’ll give our overall impressions of the chapters (01:31:04), our Alethiometer reading (01:34:23), this week’s HDM Mixtape (01:38:37), and Extra Award (01:48:26).

Supernatural Season 5: We’re Quality Trash

We made it to the end! Well, at least the original intended end of Supernatural. This season is SO much y’all – we meet Jody and Crowley and Lucifer; we travel to the past AND the future, and that’s only the beginning. Can you collect the four Horsemen rings needed to unlock this episode? Just kidding. This is a podcast, not the Cage. No rings required.

His Dark Materials, Golden Compass Ch 13-15: Fancy Goose Ex Machina

His Dark Materials gets darker, thornier, and even harder to tackle, but Melissa and Will are going to take you through it! In these chapters, we get to the Fields of Evil, Bolvangar itself. Chilling. After our intro, join us to discuss Ch 13 (00:01:33), Ch 14 (00:35:16), and Ch 15 (00:54:04), then some overall impressions (01:09:17), our Alethiometer readings (01:16:38), the HDM Mixtape (01:20:51), the Extra Award (01:29:13), and our wrap-up (01:32:19). PLUS we have a question for you this week and will every week from now on:
