Join the crew this week as we express our collective relief in having Sammy back with his soul! As Elayna and August have to pop out, this becomes a fun little duo episode.

Noah and Sam discuss the dynamics between the brothers now that Sam has his soul back (but doesn't remember his souless era), along with Bobby and Cas's involvement. The two also have complaints about how underwhelming the dragons were and how Supernatural really could have put more effort into the lore and effects.

This episode discusses Season 6, Episode 12: Like a Virgin, through the theme of Attention.

This week, the crew talks about the iconic return of the characters of Death and Tessa, Dean's absolute disregard for his own safety, and a bunch of new Soul Lore™. Plus: Bobby's Batcave origin stories and another piece of evidence for the Dean-and-the-Queer-Heart theory.

MEG'S BACK!!! In this episode, Elayna proposes a mixtape for the sound in Dean's head when Meg kisses Cas and Noah is impressed by Crowley's kicking-ass and meta-referencing moments. Somehow, after 6 seasons, we're now at the point where working with demons is just another Tuesday.

Plus: Morally dubious motivations, which demon is the sluttiest, and an extensive discussion of the thing we don't discuss (the pizza man).

This episode discusses Season 6, Episode 10: Caged Heat, through the theme of Bravery.

This week, Sam and August discuss the tragicomedy of soulless!Sam (he has no soul and not a clue!) We discover that Dean knows at least one therapy word but that giving Sam therapy-speak without a soul might actually be pretty ethically dubious. If we could ask the writers one question about this episode, it would be: Why not aliens? Plus, August is VERY excited about the X Files. All hail the alien octopi underlords!

It’s all about family in this seasonal sibling special! Join August, Noah, Hana and Theo for a plethora of pop culture references, talk about Not That Tom Holland, and get into some Big Bits of SPN Lore™️. (Also, Silly Songs with Noah for all you Veggie Tales fans out there! 😅)

Supernatural? In Canada?! It’s more likely than you think. 😅 Join hosts August and Elyana for a chaotic duo episode, as they talk about how some episodes do NOT get better the more you rewatch them. This week, they dig into more about Lisa and her relationship with Dean, the sexual tension between Dean and Cas, and experience the weirdness that is Dean being afraid of Sammy. Make sure to listen until the end, as August hits us right in the feels with some Sam/John comparisons. 👀👀

In this final Season 5 episode, we hand out awards for the best and worst of Kripke's final season. Are we winners for completing the Kripke era? Are we losers because we're Gambl-ing on the next era (join us right here, next week)? Noah confirms that Supernatural hasn't broken him yet (surprisingly?), we dub Zachariah the funniest angel in the garrison, and Lucy loses 'scariest monster' by a landslide.

Other elements of discussion: Debating whether it's better to travel to the day of your conception or day of your death, Doctor Who taught us nothing about time travel, and does Endverse!Cas count as his own one-episode character?

The meta is calling from inside the show!! This week, hosts August, Sam, Noah, and Elayna are joined by returning special guest Jai! We've got recaps that are more feral than usual, a whole chat about how Sam Winchester is basically Anakin Skywalker, and what amounts to a dissertation on why Swan Song might be one of the best things SPN ever did. All that & more, as we bid farewell to the Kripke era, and ready ourselves for the road ahead.

Noah, August, and Elayna are here to say the word 'penultimate' like twenty times!

No one gets to make fun of the Winchester brothers! (Except for us and the rest of the fandom.)

Well Cas sure is handy for moving the plot forward! Join August and returning guest host Renny, to talk about the Winchester's latest face-off with a Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We talk about how Team Free Will is forced to face their deep desires against Famine, how Dean has always helped fans with depression feel seen, and how curious we are to learn more about different angelic classes.

What's worse than watching your grandparents die in the past? Watching your dad's villain arc begin when you teach him his first sigil. It's another 70's time travel episode! In this one, Dean maybe ensures the Terminator movies exist, we confirm that John would indeed give in to an archangel, and we mourn the end of the road for Anna (but not before we get in a little pitch for a Mary/Anna gay-romance-that-begins-with-stabbing).

We're officially in the Team Free Will era, and the gang spends some time assigning roles to each other. Finally, we come back to a favourite theme of the Kripke era - free will - and discuss how Dean's determination to make his own choices has been an inspiration to us in our own lives.

Hunter's rule of the day? Always assume the monster has opposable thumbs. Join Sam (who we keep interrupting) Noah, and Elayna to discuss how every episode could be made better by Cas, how every episode is made worse because by the effects of John Winchester, and how the whole show could be summed up by the phrase, "and then they run".

It's the chaos collab of the century, as our whole team of August, Sam, Noah, and Elayna are joined by our dear friends—Hannah, Beth, and Sarah of Raising Perdition, KJ from Supernatural Opinions, and Beth and Jamie from Driver Picks the Podcast—to discuss one of the best episodes in the Supernatural canon. It's a wonderful romp full of Bi Dean trutherism, the writers having the cursed gift of prophecy, and confusion about how angelic TV show pocket dimensions function in reality.

Dean Winchester? Apologizing? In this economy? 😅 Join Noah and August this week as they discuss immortal queen of the unexpected cameo, Paris Hilton, how we could have had it all seeing a decapitated wax John Winchester, and how just very very extra the early 2010's cringe is this episode.

There’s two things we know for certain—one, Bert and Ernie are gay. Two? So are Dean and Cas. This week, August, Elayna and Noah are joined by special guest Pluto (aka, the queerbaitscholar!) for a discussion of one of quite possibly the most overtly queer episodes of the series. From the “personal space” conversation we wish we’d had to the deep meaning behind the title of the episode, this deep dive into a fan favorite isn’t one to miss.

Oh the Destiel of it all! Join hosts August and Elayna, along with guest hosts Hannah and Beth of Raising Perdition podcast! We talk about how much we love a Castiel girl boss moment, how heart wrenching it is to watch Dean almost give up the impala, and are just a little shocked at how early the Destiel vibes started.
