“Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time” This podcast is back from the near-death caused by the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike to talk about an episode of Supernatural where Dean just cannot stop dying.

Then we have to make a tough decision about what this means for the Death Count segment. We also...

KJ and Meredith are joined by long-time guest Frances, as well as Meredith’s sister Audrey for the conclusion of Gordon’s storyline. If we had a nickel for every time a former Buffy actress played a vampire in a Gordon episode, we’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that this time KJ’s seen all of BTVS. It’s also a Bela episode, and Sam and Dean have *checks notes* their 100th fight about Dean’s deal this season. At least this one leads to actual communication. CW Episode...

Despite gathering some lovers of fairytales, this episode failed to impress KJ or their guests-Meredith, Nick, and Audrey. However Meredith did give us a great lesson on the Grim Brothers, everyone writes a happy ending for two characters most harmed in the course of this episode, and Audrey and KJ do double-takes at the Demi Lovato look-alike in this episode. Also too many Into The Woods references are made, cause, you know, fairytales! CW Episode Description: Sam and Dean investigate a...

KJ, Meredith, Nick, and August (Saving People, Queering Things and Wayward Parents) team up to talk about character deaths. Along the way they try to remember the many, MANY, ways Sam and Dean Winchester have shuffled off this mortal coil. Turns out-it’s ACTUALLY hard to remember how many times a member of Team Free Will has bit the dust. Also we talk episodes that handled character death well, versus episodes that…did not. We talk about the impact of death to the audience, fridging, and bury...
