once again tragically ruby-less, we discuss one of the top gayest episodes of riverdale in a spectacularly incoherent manner. future riverdale students are gonna be like why the fuck is there a hammer in there

our 5x03 after show is up! we (unfortunately minus ruby) discuss ideas and also concepts very coherently, such as homoeroticsm and snake sheriffs and what if california seceded over weed?

Listen to this episode from Archie's Weird Podcast on Spotify. in a graceless and godforsaken land, we take a really really long time navigating this one episode of riverdale and also the plot of the lion king.

our 5x06 after show is up, a week or so late and without grace :( but its up nonetheless! we discuss the plot of the lion king, what if jughead lived in [redacted for leo's privacy], the great gatsby, hamlet, and dead poets society, which makes it sound a lot more intellectual than it is

here 2 say archie's weird podcast is SO fun and it's making my brain vibrate and i have a lot of thoughts on the riverdaleification of supernatural and i think it's brave and powerful that u explore the clear intersections of those Media

<3 !!! glad u like it!! we really like making it!

anyways. i think the riverdaleification of spn is really interesting... full disclosure dabbnatural is not my thing but i still find it interesting bc to me it highlights what makes each of them work: riverdale works on the heightened sense of reality carrying you through loop after loop. the dialogue being as exaggerated and ridiculous as the plotlines makes whole thing have a consistent threshold of disbelief rather than some shows that have riverdaleian plotlines with normal dialogue, like roswell, that don't work as well. its not to everyone's taste, but it rarely fails to live up to the level of ridiculous drama it leads you to expect. the characters have depth, and the relationships (some of them anyways) are compelling, but people watch for the plot! at least, the people i respect!

supernatural worked on like, basically exclusively characterization-- the plot was not what kept anyone watching, it was the relationships and characters (not just destiel/sastiel/whatever, even those groups who shall not be named were still watching for specific dynamics rather than plotlines). so the shift away from coming up with whatever villain facilitated interesting character interactions towards.... having something interesting and flashy to do week to week, season to season changed the texture of the show. some ppl really like it, some (me) don't, but most people agree it changed! 

sorry for rambling like this, you didn't even ask a question lol thank you for the kind words!! - leo
