feat: guests Nicki and Emma

*This episode, as long as 3x10, are being re-recorded. Maria had originally recorded 3x10 live with Hailey and 3x11 live with Nick, but unfortunately both recordings were deleted due to a bug in the audio program we used. Thanks for your patience with these episodes as we re-recorded and caught up on editing*

IT’S THE NOIR EP and we’re OBSESSED with all the styles, the super noir music, Jughead’s suspenders, Veronica’s hat, you get it. We talk Archie’s PTSD, Veronica’s teenage mob princess tendencies, are obsessed with the entire Bughead-discovering-Penelope-Blossom’s-Maple-Club sequence, and in our own ways, we’re all VERY passionate about Kelly Ripa and her guest appearance as Hiram’s mistress. In other ship news, we talk our opinions on Veggie/Varchie/Archosie following Varchie’s breakup.

And in cast news, we talk Chad Michael Murray being cast as Edgar Evernever(!!!!!!), Season 4 renewal, some Charles Melton side projects (THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR and that Ariana Grande music video) and Nicki is very late to the party about Charles/Camila and Cole/Lili dating IRL. (But don’t worry, we fill her in.)

A message from Rebecca, who is taking a step back from the podcast for the foreseeable future:

“I want to start off saying how much fun this experience has been for me and how I want to ultimately figure a way to be able to play a role again in the future. I am in grad school now and my program is just overwhelming me. I'm also just a person so sometimes life gets to me too. I want to be able to be the best podcast co-host to my dear friend Maria, and to those who listen! Right now, I just have to take some time for myself and focus on school. I will be back! Because I need to know who that damn Twiggy-Smalls is and I have too many bodysuits now for my own good! Thanks to Maria! Thanks to RAS! Thanks to Bughead! XOXO Rebecca.”

Archie rises from the ashes of his bear attack and he…clearly has PTSD! Oh, and he has to take the SATs now. Typical teen drama, are we right?! We rant about Archie’s need for therapy, are shocked by the Tall-Boy-as-Twig-Man reveal, get incredibly angry at Alice for stealing Betty’s $$ and driving her to see her serial killer father, and gossip about all the ships, but especially the Veronica/Archie/Reggie love triangle. (Jeff is a big Veggie shipper and he gushes accordingly.)

We also chat about recent Riverdale news, including the Heathers the Musical announcement and Season 4 renewal!

IS ARCHIE DEAD?! Rebecca joins us again before her semester starts, and boy, did she pick a WILD mid-season premiere to come back for! We had a plethora of reactions, emotions, and rants to provide while watching Riverdale 3x09 - “Chapter Forty-Four: No Exit,” from Archie’s bear attack and subsequent longass dream sequence; to Serpents fighting with each other and against the Gargoyle Gang; to Betty discovering suicidal Gargoyle King-worshipping nuns and the Farm scooping up the SOQM refugees! And while it was a dark ep, we did have our share of squeals during the lighter moments - from Married!Bughead cuddles to that entire Cat Burglar Choni AU plotline to a super hot first kiss for Veggie!

This episode marks the one-year anniversary of our podcast! Thanks to everyone who listens for supporting us, we so appreciate you and love doing it!

It’s a WILD Season 3 mid-season finale! Along with guest Jeff, we talk the entire first half of the season so far, have all the feelings about meeting Gladys and Jellybean for the first time, and cheer on all the bitches getting shit DONE—from Cheryl and Veronica teaming up to take on the parents, to Betty and Ethel finally setting their differences aside to take down Sister Woodhouse and liberate their fellow oppressed/brainwashed gals in red cardigans! Also, uh: is Penny Peabody dead?

As the episode ends, we talk our hopes, dreams, and theories for Season 3B: wondering what’s gonna happen with this quarantine/Hiram being in control of the town; sharing hopes for more screen time for Josie and Choni; speculating about whether Reggie/Veronica (Veggie) and Archie/Josie (Archosie? Jochie? Do y'all know?) will soon be happening; and Maria making MANY demands regarding a hot/sexy/romantic Bughead reunion!

Three stories, brought together by Hiram Lodge, aka the Man in Black! Along with guest Jeff, who is dead-set on his theory that Clifford Blossom is the Gargoyle King and tries to persuade us throughout the episode, we dive into this super aesthetic Riverdale episode! We admire the Cole Sprouse-y photographer!Jughead scenes and plead with Archie not to trust Laurie Lake aka Grundy 2.0; feel super uneasy about Veronica taking Hiram’s advice, speculate about whether Reggie is feelin’ Baby V, and talk Pop being one of the only decent people in Riverdale; and cheer on our girl Betty as she takes on Ethel and tries to investigate the Sisters of Quiet Mercy/the Gargoyle King!

AHHHHH! We’re getting closer and closer to the mid-season finale and Riverdale 3x06 - “Chapter Forty-One: Manhunter” is chock full of shocking moments, with Betty interrogating the parents about the Midnight Club and coming face to face with the Gargoyle King - not to mention sent off to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy! We have a lot to say about Betty and the parents, Joaquin’s death (RIP to the OG teen Serpent), that emotional and heart wrenching Varchie break-up, and Archie hitting the road! Thankfully, we got some relief in some adorable, well-lit Bughead moments and cute friendship scenes with Fred and Tom, Kevin and Archie, and Jughead and Archie. Listen now!

We also discuss these two awesome articles:

"I’m so excited for Archie, he’s been in prison for five whole episodes" - Rebecca

"Five episodes! That’s a long time in Riverdale universe!" - Maria

~Throw it away, forget yesterday, we’ll make the great escape!~ Boys Like Girls, anyone? It’s the GREAT ESCAPE! The whole Scooby Gang is getting together to put on terrible disguises and break Archie out of prison and we have a lot of feelings about it. We freak about crazed Gamemaster Jughead, laugh about the heavy-handed parallels between the prison escape and Jughead’s Gryphons and Gargoyle quest, talk our latest Gargoyle King theories, the future McKeller wedding, badass Betty Cooper on a motorcycle, and more!

“They’re gonna play Gryphons and Gargoyles in Saturday detention a la Breakfast Club with Anthony Michael Hall as the principal, apparently.” -Maria

“That’s a wild sentence. And if anyone who didn’t watch this show just all of a sudden heard that clip, they would be like, ‘what the fuck is Riverdale about??’ But that’s why I love Riverdale” - Rebecca

It’s here! The much-anticipated flashback episode! We have so much to say about ALL the parents’ sad origin stories (which explain why they’re awful parents we guess?), Sierra and Tom’s beautiful star-crossed lovers story, the unclear nature of the Alice pregnancy timeline, and how much we still love Fred Andrews even in the early 90s! We speculate wildly about who we think the Gargoyle King is after Alice finishes her story, and talk all about how the young actors took on the challenge of portraying their parents! #SaveJughead

Okay yes this is a long one, y’all, but...between the Evernever cult knowing all the Cooper secrets...to Jughead having to play Russian roulette with Ethel in a weird twig crown...to the speakeasy opening with: Josie’s iconic performance, sub!Reggie, and dom!Veronica figuratively fighting back at Hiram’s legion of doom like a badass (with the help of Choni)...to Archie LITERALLY fighting in an underground prison fight club...to Bughead LAYING NAKED IN THE #SEXBUNKER...to fuckin Falice sneaking around fucking and also burning shit in a FIRE....can you blame us?! Season 3 is already WILD and we’ve got all the reactions, rants, shrieks, theories, and laughs for ya in “Riverdale 3x03 - Chapter Thirty-Eight: So Above, So Below.”

The second episode of Season 3 is WILD and THINGS. GET. POLITICAL! We’re back to our “fuck prisons” mantra from Season 2, going in depth about the “riot” that occurs at the juvenile detention center and commentary Riverdale may be making on the prison industrial complex. We talk the introduction to Evelyn Evernever, the apparent youth wing of The Farm, and Archie’s ridiculous football game/pep rally/iconic Jailhouse Rock performance he plans during his like, FIRST WEEK in juvenile detention. And of course, we spend much of the episode heavily appreciating Bughead getting back to their roots as a sleuthing duo investigating the Gargoyle King and his deadly game, while wondering if Ethel spent the summer in a weird sex bunker with Dilton and Ben?! It’s a jam-packed ep, listen now!
