In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 5 episode 7 “The Curious Case of Dean Winchester”. Sam, Dean and Bobby work a case involving a witch playing poker games where people gamble with years of their life instead of money. Both Bobby and Dean lose years and age, and it’s up to Sam to save them with his secretly good poker skills.

We discuss our thoughts about the character Patrick; the differences in quality between some of the aging scenes; and then we try to understand poker and how fictional aging would work- would Bobby be out of his wheelchair if he just got younger? How old is old Dean supposed to be???

We also discuss how important Bobby is when he says he feels useless, how Sam is a genius when he manipulates Patrick in his poker game, and how toxic masculinity ruined the cute moment between Bobby and Dean at the end.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about the representation of Asian women in media, witches bells, and real folklore involving bets and bargaining.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 5 episode 6 “I Believe The Children Are Our Future”. Sam and Dean investigate a series of deaths and strange happenings that resemble urban legends or lies that kids believe. After some investigation they find a young boy called Jesse who possesses the power to make his thoughts reality, and who Cas says is the Antichrist.

We discuss how the demon lore on the show has seemingly changed; how Jesse is actually very sweet, even though he’s the supposed Antichrist; and also how we never see him again after this episode, even though he seems very relevant to the apocalypse plot.

We also discuss how a lot of the lies we tell children have breaking and entering involved for some reason, and Joy traumatises Laura with a story about sea monkeys.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about what happened to the Castiel action figures on the set, how the Antichrist lore holds up, and some examples of surreal history.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 5 episode 5 “Fallen Idols”. Sam and Dean investigate when it seems like the ghosts of famous people start killing residents of a town in Ohio.

We start with a, sort of, mailbag segment where listeners tell us the line or scene that got them hooked on Supernatural, and their comfort episodes. Feel free to email us yours. You can find the email address further down in these show notes.

We discuss the commentary around celebrity that this episode brings up as satire, and the beauty standard of the 2000’s; Dean fangirling over James Dean’s car; and Paris Hilton’s performance. Spoiler alert, we love it, so if you’re here to hate on her, you’re in the wrong place.

Joy fact checks the lore about James Dean’s car, and her Easter eggs are about real Leshy folklore, and how we idolise celebrities.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!
