I'm Not Looking For Another As I Wander In My Time

I'm Not Looking For Another As I Wander In My Time

In our final weekly recap episode of season one, we discuss the perfection that was “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye.” From surprise cameos to emotional resolutions, we gather to sing Robbie Thompson’s praises one last time. Sidebars include Spider-Man, our love of Baby, Jules and Kenedi gloating (ahem, celebrating their correct predictions), and our final Mixtape Corner.

It's Not Easy To Be In Love, You See, When You're a Clown Like Me

It's Not Easy To Be In Love, You See, When You're a Clown Like Me

In this week's episode, everyone hates clowns and talking about their feelings as the Scooby Gang confronts the terrors of Limbo (both literal and metaphorical). From witchy cameos to throwbacks obvious and subtle, the endgame for 'The Winchesters' has arrived. Sidebars include the logistics of taking care of a demon plant, the witch speakeasy spin-off we deserve, and our final guesses for how this story will wrap up next week.

Ain't It Good To Know That You've Got A Friend?

Ain't It Good To Know That You've Got A Friend?

This week, one single line sparks a contentious Theory Corner as our hosts try to figure out what exactly "not of this earth" means for our beloved Dean Winchester. With just two episodes left, is Jules abandoning her multiverse theory? Sidebars include Kenedi finally moving to the villain defense squad, John's never ending supply of PTSD-inducing life events, and how the bloopers for 'The Winchesters' live up to their 'Supernatural' legacy.

I Can't Walk Out Because I Love You Too Much

I Can't Walk Out Because I Love You Too Much

On this week's episode, the 'Supernatural' parallels are too strong to ignore as Brianna, Kenedi, and Jules dive deep into "Suspicious Minds." The trio discusses the foreshadowing and tragedy involved with John and Mary's case of the week, including small nods to the original that you may not have noticed. Sidebars include Lata's sexy dream boyfriend, Jules' love of a good villain speech, and how 'The Winchesters' has handled its queer characters.

Rearranging Your Life Through All Your Tears

This week, we're all living in Carlos' holy water hair commercial while John battles his martyr complex (again).

Well You Can Sell Your Soul, But Don't You Sell It Too Cheap

'The Winchesters' returned with a bang this week! Brianna, Jules, and Kenedi deal with higher levels of clownery than usual as they discuss every big reveal, romantic development, and music cue in "Hang On To Your Life." Sidebars include the Samuel/Millie crack ship we all fear, our tears at Carlos' found family speech, Elton John, and the irony of John Winchester having a fantastic grasp on parenting.

BONUS: Our Midseason Discussion with Special Guests Mal, Megan, and Briar!

BONUS: Our Midseason Discussion with Special Guests Mal, Megan, and Briar!

It's a hell-atus miracle! Brianna, Jules, and Kenedi are joined by special guests (and fellow Nerds writers) Mal, Megan, and Briar to discuss their thoughts on the season so far. From our favorite moments to our most outlandish theories, there's a lot to discuss as we prepare for the midseason premiere of 'The Winchesters' on January 24. Sidebars include how 'Supernatural' trained us to expect plot twists in innocuous situations, the downright depressing music choices, and how Jensen Ackles has probably already told us how the season will end. 

You can find our guests on Twitter at @MalMuses, @Marvels911s, and @thebriarroseee. All of their great coverage is up on NerdsAndBeyond.com!

Trapped In A World That's A Distorted Reality

Trapped In A World That's A Distorted Reality

In this week's episode, Jules descends into her own multiverse of madness as Kenedi and Brianna try their best to pull her out. Brianna cracks the season wide open with her fantastic new theory, and we all lament the upcoming hell-atus. Sidebars include how fast you should run to greet the ghost of your missing husband, our love of romantic CW moments, and John's epic fail of a Captain America move.

Searching for the Truth Among the Lying

Searching for the Truth Among the Lying

In “Art of Dying,” we finally see Carlos off of his flirting game while Mary is reminded how difficult it is to leave hunting. John once again struggles to keep his anger in check while Lata finds her inner peace (and gets the chance to save the day!). Sidebars include our residual barn trauma from ‘Supernatural,’ jump scares, our shock at Zen!John Winchester, and how fighting bi panic may actually be a tougher battle than fighting monsters.

And I Don't Care If You Don't Want Me, I'm Yours Right Now

From creepy bugs to romantic miscommunications, there's a lot of ground to cover as the Core Four confront a monster that has a surprising connection to Ada.

This week, a Winchester finally goes to therapy as we get closer and closer to the John we know from ‘Supernatural.’ We dive into “Masters of War” and the way PTSD has impacted our Core Four.

We Don't Talk About Monster Club

We Don't Talk About Monster Club

The first rule of monster club is that you don't talk about monster club...but we will! This week our unhinged theories reach a new level as we break down "You're Lost Little Girl." From big romantic declarations to secrets from the most unlikely Core Four member, there's a lot to unpack. Sidebars include retconning the Antichrist, the Dean-ification of Mary Campbell, and our newest segment calling out those true Winchester Stupid moments!

Their Father's Hell Did Slowly Go By

Their Father's Hell Did Slowly Go By

Ah, 'Supernatural': the universe where even the monsters have daddy issues. In this week's episode, we break down "Teach Your Children Well" and the narrative parallels linking John and Mary with their future selves (and their children). Along the way, we discuss groovy clothing choices, Carlos' musical moment, and who's under that mysterious black hood!

I've Been Too Long, I'm Glad to be Back

I've Been Too Long, I'm Glad to be Back

After the longest hell-atus in 'Supernatural' history, we finally return to the world we know and love in 'The Winchesters'! In our discussion of the pilot episode, we dive into all the nods to the original, how it fits into existing canon, and our theories for how it will all play out (witches! angels! who knows!). Sidebars include Carlos in all his glory, John's hero complex and extremely undertreated PTSD, and just how bad we are at remembering how to kill monsters from 'Supernatural.'
