Happy "The CW has not been profitable since 2006" Day!
A very very warm anti-Gyllenhaal welcome to our first guest episode of the podcast - Claire and Elyse's dear friend Mimi! Mimi is yet another connoisseur of trash TV, and in this episode she reveals the intricacies of the long-running non-profitable hit CW TV show, Supernatural. One of the three fabled major Tumblr fandoms, this show is full to the brim with trash - and Mimi certainly delivers on the dirty details explaining why. Definitely not an episode to be missed! (Partly because the plot of this show has a gun. Allegedly.)
If you wish to follow along with Mimi's expertly curated analysis, feel free to find her slide deck for this episode here: https://cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.2708-21/269747683_284585396990009_5101723175211441471_n.pptx/Supernatural-a-side-eyed-glance-back-at-the-thing-that-will-not-leave.pptx?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=0cab14&_nc_ohc=QowV6Q5vEL0AX_XzD5f&_nc_ht=cdn.fbsbx.com&oh=03_AVJmRURcvto6uBRApVbRIYb8jw_u1_nR3mrQLGB9jnD44A&oe=61E9F180&dl=1
