KJ and Meredith are joined by first time guest Michelle to talk about this week’s episode that digs into the concept of aging and high stakes betting! Turns out KJ and Meredith don’t know anything about poker at all. And this week’s villains of the week earn a coveted title from Meredith. 
CW Episode Description: Sam and Dean discover a witch (guest star Hal Ozsan) is running a high-stakes poker game where the currency is life years vs. money. Bobby (Jim Beaver) sees the game as a chance to get out of the wheelchair and bets 25 years, but loses. As Bobby begins to age rapidly, Dean steps in to save him but also ends up turning into an old man, leaving Sam holding the bag for their survival.

KJ and Meredith are joined by JJ (@jjbwaywatch) to talk about Taylor Swift and fandom. JJ leads a lot of this one which is super exciting as the episode covers mono-culture, the impact of the pandemic on fandom, our personal experiences with Taylor Swift and fandom, and speculation about the upcoming twelfth album The Life of a Showgirl. And of course they tie it all back into Supernatural.

Joining KJ and Meredith this week are two first time guests Alyssa and Meg. This week’s episode leads to the most complicated and potentially controversial death count segment to date, thanks to alternate realities, demonic viruses, and the humanization of an angel. Meredith gives us the 4-1-1 on Lucifer in the mythology segment, while KJ alternates between gratitude for Sam’s socks and a plea for ethical non-monogamy in the event of post-apocalyptic life. 
CW Episode Description: Sam tells Dean he wants to rejoin Dean in the battle of the Apocalypse, but Dean tells Sam that they are better off apart. Later, Dean awakens five years in the future in an abandoned city and is attacked by humans who have been infected with a demonic virus that turns humans into Zombies. Zachariah (guest star Kurt Fuller) appears to Dean and explains that this is the world that exists as a result of Dean saying no to helping the angels fight Lucifer. Dean meets up with Future Dean, who tells him that the virus is the Devil's endgame for destroying mankind. Misha Collins also stars.

KJ and Meredith are sitting down with fellow Pod Squad member August (Saving People, Queering Things) and first time guest Nell (Totally Normal About That) to talk about this very destiel-heavy episode of the CW’s Supernatural.

The crew gives some advice on how best to interact with new co-workers without causing an HR incident. 
CW Episode Description: Not sure he trusts himself anymore, Sam decides to give up hunting, but a late-night visitor (guest star Adrianne Palicki) won't let him off the hook that easily. Dean, intent on stopping the Apocalypse, continues hunting on his own and teams up with Castiel to find the Archangel Raphael, as Castiel believes Raphael knows God's location.

This episode featuring Sadie from In Defense of Fandom has KJ and Meredith on a bit of an archeological dig back in time on the internet. A time when three fandoms combined at the convergence point of tumblr dot com - Superwholock. The trio digs into what brought fans of these three different shows together, and theorize about why they faded into the void of the internet just a few years later. This episode digs into internet fandom behaviour, tumblr as whole, the impacts of DashCon, fandom evolution, and fandom etiquette (please y’all, hold yourselves together, we beg you!)

KJ and Meredith, much like the Winchester brothers, are reuniting for the next chapter of the Supernatural saga, kicking off a new season. For all of y’all who wished KJ was more on team Dean, this may at times be the episode for you, with several instances of KJ having empathy for Dean and condemning Sam’s actions. Together, our cohosts try to pinpoint where Bobby got jumped.
CW Episode Description: Picking up where the finale left off, Dean and Sam watch as the Devil (guest star Mark Pellegrino, "Lost") emerges from Hell. The brothers and Bobby (guest star Jim Beaver) deal with the aftermath of Lucifer rising and the stunning news from Chuck the Prophet (guest star Rob Benedict) that Castiel was blown to bits by the archangels.

Sarah is joining Meredith and KJ at the end of this nail-biter season. The Apocalypse is truly nigh, leaving the group to wonder about the source of the fake voicemail and even more mysteriously the details of Chuck’s last-night-on-Earth plan. KJ tells an unexpected (but actually enjoyable!) prank anecdote.  
CW Episode Description: The Apocalypse is coming, and Sam and Dean prepare for the fight in very different ways. Sam joins Ruby (guest star Genevieve Cortese) on a final run to kill Lilith (guest star Katherine Boecher), while Castiel (guest star Misha Collins) and Zachariah (guest star Kurt Fuller) tell Dean it's time to play his part in stopping Lucifer.

Things with the Winchester brothers are tense, which means KJ’s ‘protect Sam Winchester’ alarm is blaring! KJ and Meredith are joined by returning guest Nick and first time guest, a true tumblrino, Androids! KJ calls into question the location planning of the panic room and the liver and kidney function of Bobby and the Winchesters. Lots of deep thoughts on character motivations, the way we rationalize on a human level, and some silly wonderings about the exact mechanics of demon blood as an addictive substance.

KJ and Meredith invited Pluto to come talk about Castiel and queerness, but through the powers of discussion, this episode actually ended up being about a lot of the metatext and paratext around Supernatural in its middle years and since.
Some topics covered include: the crypt scene (S08E17), the foundations of Destiel, the infamous 2016 Destiel Market Research, the 2013 Chad Kennedy tweets, and the widower arc.

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 time and resources to manage their trauma? Well, you're not alone! KJ and Meredith are joined this week by Mary (Carrying Wayward) and JJ (@jjbwaywatch) to talk about some shows and movies that ended in the death of a major (and thoroughly traumatized) character, and discuss why this trope is so popular with writers but maybe less popular with the audience.
Spoiler alert for the endings and/or major character deaths of the following pieces of media: Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Sons of Anarchy, Veronica Mars, Game of Thrones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The Princess Bride, and Timeless.

KJ and Meredith are joined by returning guest, Jenn! This week we’re getting acquainted with Cas’s vessel, Jimmy Novak. It’s Jenn’s first time watching this episode and she really loved it, so we have a lot to discuss. KJ wants to know where the heck Ruby is in this time of angel-demon crisis? And the team workshops some gear that would do big business in the demon-hunting world.
CW Episode Description: Castiel (guest star Misha Collins) appears to Dean in a dream and says he has something important to tell him but they need to meet somewhere private. Dean and Sam go searching for Castiel but instead find Jimmy, Castiel's human vessel, who has only a spotty recollection of being an angel. Jimmy wants to return to his family and normal life, but Dean and Sam are concerned about his safety.

KJ and Meredith are talking with Cas-Expert Ella (The Cas Cast), in this mostly Cas-free episode. KJ has come prepared with all of the math around John Winchester’s whereabouts (spoilers, we continue to find things to hate about John Winchester). Meredith gives us a rundown on ghoul lore, and questions the purpose of the huge vent in the Milligan house. Ella relishes in the family dynamics this episode brings us. KJ accuses Sam of revisionist history and spoils season 4 of Charmed (1998)
CW Episode Description: A 19-year-old boy named Adam (guest star Jake Abel) calls Sam and Dean looking for John Winchester, claiming to be his son. Dean and Sam meet Adam, assuming he's a demon trying to lure them into a trap.

Lilith showdown, Meredith’s educating us about prophets, and the whole crew is asking- what would your reaction be to finding out your friends’ whole lives (even the VERY PRIVATE bits) are out there and on the page?
CW Episode Description: Sam and Dean are shocked to discover a series of comic books titled "Supernatural" that accurately detail their lives as demon hunters.

KJ and Meredith are joined by August (of Saving People, Queering Things) and Sarah (sometimes of Raising Perdition) for max Pod Squad crossover energy. This week Sam and Dean are living through an Office AU, where some Choices(TM) have been made about their personalities. Everyone’s in agreement on one thing in this episode, and that’s that you should not watch adult videos at work. Just don’t do it. This episode really gets into who Sam and Dean are at their core, and as you can imagine, our guests have a lot to say on that topic, plus, there’s a new angel in the garrison and Dean already hates him

KJ and Meredith are joined by Sandra and Kasey, the hosts of Idling In The Impala, to be Sam’s defense team in this week’s episode. They lay out each alleged crime and mistake of Sam’s and then all the reasons why Sam was actually right or not at fault. It’s a good week for the Sam stans in our audience. This one probably should’ve been named for the Trolley Problem, but we already did that in season 3… so we are sticking with that court theme.

There’s big news about Sam’s extracurriculars this week, leading to a serious conversation around the impact of hosting a demon on the vessel and the composition of demon blood. KJ would like to study the relationship between people who separate the Winchesters and imminent death. Ella wonders if demons are consuming a lot of media. Editing Noah makes a cameo!
