KJ, August (Saving People, Queering Things), and Alyssa don’t get a holiday in this episode, but they do get to to recap this episode of Supernatural. KJ takes a hard stance on a hard truth about Dean, everyone forgets one of the key plots of this episode, and Pamela is dubbed an icon in her final episode.
CW Episode Description: Sam and Dean investigate a small town where people are cheating death. They discover the Reapers have gone missing so they turn to Pamela (guest star Traci...

In celebration of 100 recordings, 100 edits, and 100 of everything else it takes to put together a podcast episode, KJ and Meredith open the doors on their friendship origin story, answer some AMA questions, KJ comes clean about some secret shipping (not clickbait!), and KJ pitches some of her other hyper fixation shows to Meredith as potential future podcasts. And followed up with about 30 minutes of content cut from some of the earliest episodes of the show!

Sex and Violence experts Beth and Hannah, along with their Raising Perdition co-host Abby Jo, help KJ and Meredith through this week’s episode where the doctor/coroner is an alcoholic, the siren is Judd from 9-1-1: Lone Star, and there’s uproar over censorship and a passionate plea to let Sam get laid, just not in this particular episode. In a shocking twist of fate, the squad favorably compares John Winchester to some of the spousal, parenting, and finance choices of this week’s victims.

While KJ and Meredith met in school, you couldn’t pay them to go back there now. And yet, that’s what Sam and Dean are doing this week, so we’re bringing our guest Frances along for the ride and hoping for the best. KJ revels in some Sam comment, but admits that having Sam content at the expense of Dean’s character assassination might be too high a cost. KJ and Meredith try pitifully to identify the contents of geometry set.

KJ and Meredith have brought in recurring guest, renowned fic-writer Jenn to talk about some monsters that didn’t find a place in 327 episodes, but should have. We talk overarching mythologies, specific monsters and locations, and other missed opportunities. Meredith’s been keeping a list of some primo monsters that the SPN writers overlooked and it’s time to share the list with the world. We also talk about some monsters that were included but could have been done again, or could have lived...

Note: There’s a slight audio issue on this episode that resulted in some of the audio being a bit choppy, it appears to be a one-time problem, and we did what we could with it.
KJ knows way too much about Criss Angel this week and Meredith, Ella (The Cas Cast) and JJ (jjbwaywatch) are all forced to listen to it. JJ rates this episode out of Taco Bell Tacos and it makes the most perfect sense. The crew does some math as we get an update on the lost seals situation. There’s a lot of homoerotic...

Content warning to animal cruelty/death in this episode. We don’t want to talk about it either. As promised, KJ and Meredith are all alone this week to hustle through this episode and provide insights in a quick and efficient manner that leaves us dwelling on the hand-licking and dog dying for as little time as possible. As promised, KJ hates this episode, and maybe that’s fun for everyone else? KJ and Meredith split the case of the week segment with two different real life crimes that this...

KJ and Meredith are joined by Sarah as heaven and hell collide over Anna. Bobby’s wisely on vacation, something we all wish we were on. Sarah discredits one of Sam’s crowning moments with insightful interpretation and brings us an absolute bombshell deleted scene that KJ and Meredith have not seen before.
CW Episode Description: Anna (guest star Julie McNiven) remembers her past and Sam and Dean finally understand why Castiel (guest star Misha Collins) and Uriel (guest star Robert Wisdom)...

KJ is joined by Meredith as well as the hosts of Idling in the Impala, Sandra and Kasey, where KJ finds company in the pro-Sam camp. A lot of information about Sam comes to light in this one, and the reinforcement was absolutely needed. We also get a lot of information about the actual mechanics of The Apocalypse™. Also new angels and demons drop, and we apply too much earth logic to the CW’s Supernatural.

Have you ever invested significant emotions and time into a franchise only for a character who has spent all their screen time valiantly overcoming their demons to be struck down (maybe poetically, maybe just cruelly) in the final moments? Had all their character development undone for the sake of symmetry? (If you answer no, I've got bad news for you about some upcoming content on this podcast) Were you left emotionally bereft when a character was killed off instead of given the in-universe...

Meredith’s away so KJ and Frances will play- aka talk about this wacky episode of Supernatural where Sam dies and no one even remembers it happening. There’s a lot of out of pocket events in this episode for KJ and Frances to riff on including the denouncement of Bigfoot in the Supernatural universe. Sam and Dean also go for a record number of different alias jobs in one episode. Everyone strap in for this week’s mental health check because Sam can’t actually think of a wish for himself, and...

Sam and Cas are finally meeting, so it’s fitting that KJ and Meredith are meeting a brand new guest this week, Tessy! The group wonders where Cas has been if so many seals have been breaking, and makes some suggestions on how Heaven might better communicate with the Winchester. A complaint is lodged directly to Eric Kripke about a recurring narrative choice. KJ comes clean about their personal ships and then calls CPS on God.

KJ and Meredith are joined by fellow podcaster Katie (Making It Up As We Go: A Destiel Fanfic Anthology Podcast) to talk about fears in this week’s episode of Supernatural. Dean’s infected with ghost sickness and we get a glimpse into some of his deepest fears. KJ argues **gasp** that Sam is just as much of a jerk as Dean and should have been infected, and the crew wonder if Sam is turning evil or is it a lingering symptom of Dean’s fear.

KJ previously went on record in a bonus episode of Driver Picks the Podcast to rank this episode as one of their bottom five of the Kripke Era. This week, Beth and Jamie come aboard with KJ and Meredith to convince KJ that this episode is actually *art*. This episode is fun old-horror movie themed and the bottom line is that this episode works because everyone committed to the bit.
Other topics include: Sam going to movies alone, Oktoberfest, Halloween, Australian vs Canadian holidays, and...

KJ and Meredith are joined by a very fun duo of Kate and Bahy this week to talk about Kim Manners’ final episode of Supernatural. KJ has a regret about their extensive Supernatural statistics. Dean says if he didn’t know Sam, he’d want to hunt him, leading the squad to ponder the question of how psychic is too psychic?

KJ, Meredith, and Katie (Making It Up As We Go) are recapping this episode and asking some very basic questions about this week’s monster that this episode and even Meredith’s mythology section don’t really have answers for. It’s an episode of fun facts where Kentucky is called out for naming it’s towns with pronunciations at odds with the rest of the world, KJ mixes up two famous inventors and causes a tangent for no real reason, and John Winchester is unfortunately back on the pod’s...
