In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 4 episode 6 “Yellow Fever”. Dean is infected with a mysterious illness that causes extreme fear and paranoia, and eventually leads to death. Sam and Bobby come up with a plan to save him.

We discuss the snakes, the funny softball team names, and how Dean is so adorable and vulnerable in this episode.

We also discuss the character of Luther and how he’s been written as a Frankenstein's monster type character, whether or not Frank really was a pillar of the community, and how Jim Beaver actually does speak Japanese.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about the Buruburu spirits, and she has some lore of the location for this episode.

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

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 4 episode 5 of Supernatural, “Monster Movie”. Sam and Dean investigate a series of bizarre murders in a small Pennsylvania town during Oktoberfest, that appear to be the work of classic horror movie monsters.

We love this episode so much! We discuss how good the actor who plays Dracula is, how amazing all of the references to old monster movies are, and query whether certain moments were originally in the script or ad-libbed by Jared and Jensen.

We also talk about how much fun Dean is having at Oktoberfest, Laura does not understand how Sam worked out who the shapeshifter was from a dirty tissue, and we discuss the Dean logic of how coming back from Hell means he’s now a virgin again.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about some of the sets and locations used for this episode, the very touching story behind the naming of the character Jamie, and how Jensen was actually elbowed in the face during the fight scene with Dracula.

As usual we finish with our end of episode games.

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

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 4 episode 4 of Supernatural, “Metamorphosis”. Sam and Dean work with a family friend to investigate the case of a man who is slowly transforming into a flesh-eating monster called a Rougarou, due to a family curse.

We discuss the different ways demon dust exits the host body on this show; Dean’s reaction to finding out about Sam and Ruby’s relationship; and the woman in this episode who is not having a great day. First she is hit on in a bar, then another creepy guy follows her home, then Sam and Dean burst into her apartment damaging her door!

We also talk about this being another episode where Sam wants to save a monster, so he can believe he can also be saved; we question Travis’ motives and actions around killing Michelle; and Laura questions the whole demon blood issue with Sam and whether it’s a huge flag for the series.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about the location of Carthage, and real lore about the Rougarou.

As usual we finish with our end of episode games.

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 4 episode 3 of Supernatural, “In The Beginning”. Dean gets sent back in time to the 70’s, to stop something but isn’t told what. While there he meets his mother, father and grandparents from that time, and has a run in with the Yellow Eyed Demon.

We discuss our reaction to finding out that it was Mary’s side of the family who were hunters originally, not John’s; fun behind the scenes facts about the Impala; and Laura gets very confused by the idea of time travel.

We also talk about how sad it is when Dean tries to warn young Mary not to get out of bed on the day she dies; how cool it is when Dean goes to get the Colt; what Mary might have told John at the end to explain what happened; and we compare the Yellow Eyed Demon portrayals in this episode.

As usual we finish with our end of episode games.

We discuss angel names, Bobby’s underground bunker/panic room, and our reactions to seeing Meg again.

We also talk about how cool it was to see a female hunter, for all of 30 seconds; what this season might have in store for us once we are told Lilith is trying to free Lucifer; and our movie references are on point in this episode.

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 4 episode 1 “Lazarus Rising”. Dean is resurrected and thinks Sam has made another demon deal to get him back. But it was actually an angel, Castiel, who brought Dean back because God commanded it.

We discuss fun facts and some behind the scenes information about the Holy water used on the show, how they kept Dean’s resurrection a secret between seasons, and the basis of Castiel’s character.

We also talk about Jensen actually getting injured from the stunts in this episode, Sam’s emerging powers, and our initial thoughts about Castiel and his epic entrance.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about the location Pontiac, Illinois and the seven gates to hell nearby; Resurrection Mary; and how static on TVs actually link back to the Big Bang.

In this episode Joy and Laura break down Supernatural season 3 episode 16. “No Rest For The Wicked”. It’s the season finale! As Dean's deal with the crossroads demon nears its end, he and Sam race against time to find a way to save him. Will they be successful? Listen to find out.

We discuss our feelings about how Bela and Ruby 1.0 leave the show, although we had to cut some of this conversation and move it to our wrap up episode next week.

We also discuss Dean punching Ruby, and his hostility towards her in general; the Impala karaoke and how meaningful the song choice was; whether Lilith is the ultimate creepy child; and of course Dean’s death scene, and how anticlimactic it is that Lillith just gets scared of Sam and leaves.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about the donkey show “joke”, and how that is an urban legend; as well as real life hauntings from the episode location New Harmony, Indiana.

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