I'm a Kinsey Five Now (S2E6)

Ugly Ass Locket From Claire's (S2E9)

Ho ho ho, and a Merry Riverdale Christmas to all as we dive into Chapter Twenty-two: Silent Night, Deadly Night! At long last, this show is talking about class, to... mixed success. Join us for discussion of Glamerge Eggs, scooby doo revelations, and a whole lot of absolutely top tier Nana Rose content. CW: brief discussion of lynching and police violence. (Also, I accidentally call Joseph Conway "Joseph Conrad" at one point. I'm not apologizing to Joseph Conrad, I just think it was funny.)

A Mad, Mad World (S2E8)

Join us for another banger episode as we talk through Chapter Twenty-One: House of the Devil. Topics today include carnal defiance, things that are weird but not a sin, and Betty's absolutely iconic Serpent Dance. Archie even touches a guitar in this one!

Greenwich Village Fantasies (S2E7)

"This is peak Riverdale. The characters are being gay, spooky shit is happening, crazy things are happening... Cheryl is there. A milf is there." Join us for a very spooooky episode as we discuss Chapter Twenty: Tales From the Darkside. Dang, this show is really good sometimes!

I'm a Kinsey Five Now (S2E6)

Get ready for the high octane thrills of Chapter Nineteen: Death Proof! This week, we discuss: the silliness of the Sugarman, the sluttiest gang leader of all time, and the let-down of Betty's relationship conflicts. We also have a more serious talk about gang politics and the history of policing. It turns out this show is simultaneously very good and very bad. Who'd have thunk it???

Serpent Thesis Defense (S2E5)

This week, Riverdale D.A.R.E.s to ask... are drugs bad? Join us for Chapter Eighteen: When A Stranger Calls as we watch Jughead navigate some deeply silly Serpent trials, try to figure out whether Taylor Swift's Reputation had any impact on Alice Cooper's fashion (or vice versa), and go on multiple tangents about Heathers: the Musical. Content warning: plotline and discussion of roofies & attempted date rape/sexual assault.
