Season 2

5.10- “The Jugitha Slam”

In this episode we talk about real and fake drugs, breaking out of prison for the Scoops, things not being there until the plot demands it, how Charles has serial killer genes, once again forgetting Toldedo, and asking the question of “what is a minion, if not a bro with low self esteem?”

5.09- “Herman Hogan”

In this episode we talk about blood types, where Junkyard Santa’s accent comes from, how true love can save Betty from Dark Betty, why the principal’s being such a dick, how Muzzy is the best English teacher, but when we get to that gun… you can jump on it.

5.08- “A Towel Theme”

In this episode we talk about the steam room set piece, Sam’s spoon party idea, Veronica’s following on Ninstagram, Archie’s extensive knowledge of construction, what a spaceship sounds like, and forgetting about Kevin.

5.06 & 07- “Must’ve Been a Wrecking Ball”

This episode’s a little different, it includes snippets of a lost episode detailing episode 6 “Back to School” in which we switched up the hosting in a way that just didn’t transcend, but not to worry because we fully get into episode 7 "Fire in the Sky" in which we dive into an orthodontist swamp, Hiram’s potential space laser, awkward teenage/adult dance battles, ACTUAL ALIENS, and our new favorite character, the dead homeless guy named Earl. And don’t worry, we talk about that “Shallow” karaoke scene.

5.05- “Everything Went Black After Crouton”

In this episode we talk about nice gangs, Veronica putting “cheerleader” on her resumé, a big shower moment, Polly’s stupid crimped hair, the return of Veronica’s wig, Hiram’s evil plans, and Reggie’s Pinterest board full of Danny DeVito.

5.04- “A Would-Be Usurper”

Greetings from the future! We’re finally at the time jump so we’re unpacking things from hair choices, Toni doing a pregnant Slave 4 U dance, Veronica selling jewelry but edgy, whether or not Jughead has glasses, THE ACCIDENT, plus we finally find out how many words Kevin said!

5.03- "Penelope In Paris"

In this episode we talk about Toledo, the toe ring Veronica got Archie, a rant about Jughead without his hat, setting Alice up with a new man, our lack of geopolitical knowledge, and how much we stan bus drivers.

5.02- "I Know A Lot About Goons"

In this episode we talk about the fake Lilli Reinhardt interview, Veronica finally taking out the trash, Charles’ terrible character arch, Taylor Swift being the murderer, the return of the long lost uncle, and a game of Would You Rather!

5.01- "Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kicks"

It's the season premiere and we're finally caught up reporting live on the scene! In this episode we rank prom dresses, speculate on how Reggie switch brains with a dog, gritty CW reboots, and successfully predict the auteur storyline (sort of). Plus we test our knowledge on comic quotes versus TV quotes!

Season 1

4.18 & 19- “Clandestine Rendezvoux”

In this season finale episode, we discuss the quote on quote Lynchian themes, Archie’s serenades, Bughead being endgame, struggling with our clapper light, and finish things off with a Riverdale mad lib and predictions for season 5!
