Riverdale Chapters 46 & 47: Forget it Jughead, it’s Riverdale

We make lemonade out of some lemons this week. We discuss the show brushing over huge details, why Betty is the more accurate Marlow, FP as sheriff, Toni getting erased in her own story, Hal continuing to show up even though he has no business being here, and why Archie feels so disconnected from the rest of the show.

We discuss Hiram’s strange plan, Archie trying to get himself killed, connections to East of Eden and Death of a Salesman, Veronica’s big casino night, the haphazard storytelling of the Sisters of Quiet Mercy and the history of women’s incarceration, and spotty character writing.

Riverdale Chapters 38 & 39: Gryphons & Gargoyles

It’s the hot new thing in town; Gryphons & Gargoyles. People are saying kids are dying from it & have even gotten hurt in the past. They’re saying it’s so addicting and is enabling kids to hurt each other. I hope none of the parents have a super secret past playing this thing… Also Archie is caught in an underground prison fight ring.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapters 2 & 3: Harvey Yearns for the Mines

We discuss how men have assumed leadership in the Church of Night, the matriarchy of the Spellman household, our love of Ambrose, Prudence being the most savvy character so far, Daniel Webster attorney at law, and what led to the Spellman parents getting two conflicting baptisms.
