In this episode Joy and Laura break down Supernatural season 4 episode 8 “Wishful Thinking”. Sam and Dean investigate a small town where strange things are happening after a magical wishing well in a local restaurant starts granting people’s wishes.
We discuss how this episode is funny and emotional, but not scary; how Jared had food poisoning during the filming of this episode, which is funny because Dean has food poisoning in this episode; and Laura is surprised that Joy (the American) has never heard of Harry and the Hendersons but she (the British person) has.
We also discuss Sam confronting the boy and how more men should be like Sam; how the character Hope is portrayed, and how it might have been different if this episode was made now; and Laura has a true crime snippet about one of the actors from this episode.
Joy’s Easter eggs are an interview with Ted Raimi about his love of Supernatural and his experience playing Wes in this episode; and some real true crime stories from South Korea and China where hidden cameras and ‘peeping toms’ are a real issue.
Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!
