Gabby delivers a loving oration from I Remember Everything: Life Lessons from Dawson's Creek by the gals over at Dawson’s Critique. It’s super fun and the cover is way cute, you should go buy it. 

The Dawson’s Creek reunion clip that tickled Zoe all the way down to her toes and established gay rights.

Gabby really needs you to get HBO Max so you can watch Heaven’s Gate: The Cult of Cults, Murder on Middle Beach, Allen V. Farrow, It’s a Sin, and (rewatch) The Jinx.

Get ready to froth at the mouth with rage Creeps because this is season 3, episode 21 “Show Me Love” (Original airdate May 10th, 2000. Written by Liz Tigelaar and Holly Henderson and directed by Morgan J. Freeman). Dawson, Andie, Grams, Mitch, and even occasionally Pacey are all a big disappointment in the “showing us healthy relationships” department on this outing. Henry is also a miserable weasel but that’s not so much a disappointment as a continued meeting of our expectations. So join us for the Hindenburg disaster of regattas, Joey’s flapjacks, and the (maybe?) (finally?) departure of Will to greener spinoff pastures. If you want to peep our green pastures, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

Ever have one of those days you wish you could live all over again? We entered the eternal (horny) loop that is season 3 episode 20 “The Longest Day” (Original airdate April 26th, 2000. Written by Gina Fattore and directed by Perry Lang). We spent exactly as long as you’d expect crooning about the aching sensuality of the Poey makeout scenes and also touched down on Dawson’s many serial killer reveals and a whole lotta Jen Lindley punishment. If you’re into punishment, check out our instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

We certainly didn’t comprehensively cover the Joss Whedon abuse revelations and Gabby couldn’t find any articles that really touched all the bases (why is no one reporting on Clem vocally supporting Charisma on twitter since the day she first posted??) but these two articles have some good background and context:

Just call us the wet bandits Creeps cause we’re talking season 3 episode 19 “Stolen Kisses” (Original airdate April 26th, 2000. Written by Tom Kapinos and directed by Gregory Prange). We’re joined by Very Important Guest and Artist Ariel Kessler (ariel.kessler on instagram) to dish about arty farty aunt Gwen and our shared creek history. We also give you the blow-by-blow on all the Poey action this episode has to offer and go into hysterics of arousal in the process.

Exit light, enter night, take Pacey’s hand cause we’re off to never “Neverland” (Original airdate April 5th, 2000. Written by Maggie Friedman and directed by Patrick R. Norris). We get a veritable orgy of friendship with three, count ‘em, three sleepover parties! The creek gang honors the time honored tradition of Going Through It at sleepover events by confronting parental relationships tainted by homophobia, finding refuge from the scourge upon this earth that is men, burying friendship in a box, and of course unpacking the consequences of That Kiss.

In honor of Zoe’s birth, we treated ourselves to the most electrifying first(ish) kiss in television history in season 3 episode 17 “Cinderella Story” (Original airdate March 1st, 2000. Written by Jeffrey Stepakoff and directed by Janice Cooke). Joey journeys to Boston to meet the most insufferable manic pixie dream girl of all time, the Lipnicki torments us all, and a fish restaurant is born. And a thousand loins across this great nation burst into flames as Pacey makes his move. Gabby also rags on A.J. and his cursed lover for their crappy French and then uses the French word for Chinese when trying to describe a fancy bun. To see our fancy buns follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

Say goodbye to the mere suggestion of diversity on the creek Creeps because today we bid adieu “To Green(s), With Love” (Original airdate February 16th, 2000. Written by Gina Fattore and directed by Kenneth Fink). We get some refreshingly frank discussions of race and racism in this episode but they come trailing a caboose of white saviorism and the loss of (arguably) our two most prominent black characters to date. Big ups to champion brother in law Bodie, Nikki’s absolute radiance, the Dawson / Nikki romance that never was, and Principal Green for A+ dad shirts and for embracing being shorter than Joey. Follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

Joey Potter against the system!

Last episode, Zoe mentioned Black Lives Matter as a stalwart go-to for your donations. 

Gabby hooked Zoe and Ariel into watching Sea Fever and then watched the very silly, very satisfying Pure on her lonesome. Hard endorse for both.

Speaking of endorsements, Yeti is not a sponsor of this audio program but Zoe feels very strongly about them and their liquid vessels. Gabby has a thermos from them that performs admirably at keeping her coffee as hot as the sun on an hour long commute to work.

Grab your birch canes and bend over to kiss your futures goodbye Creeps because you’re in for some “Crime & Punishment” (Original airdate February 9th, 2000. Written by Gina Fattore and directed by Joe Napolitano). We’re talking the reintroduction of Joey Potter: Artist, Pacey on a crusade for justice / somewhere to sleep, and the thrilling climax to the saga of the PSAT. If you want to climax, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

These two articles do a good job of describing both the ways in which our recent coup was very much American business as usual and the ways in which it was uniquely terrifying.

Gabby was thinking of this guy from a post that seemed to identify him as a performer at a climate change rally but clearly he is just another Q Anon wingnut. This is why we check our facts!

Gabby recommends Overinvested Pod to hear film criticism and get some flicks by women and POC directors and foreign movies you might not hear about otherwise on your radar.

We hope you’re ready to give your life to the Romans rather than stop marrying young Christian lovers Creeps because we watched season 3, episode 14 “Valentine's Day Massacre” (Original airdate February 2nd, 2000. Written by Tom Kapinos and directed by Sandy Smolan). While Henry’s continued commitment to ruining all of our lives, the flash in the pan that is Kate, and Pacey’s jailhouse monologs are all noteworthy, the most important part of this episode is that it’s a backdoor pilot for Andie and Joey’s crime fighting curmudgeons in golf carts half-hour sitcom. These gals love justice and bucket hats and HATE jell-o shots. If you want to slurp our content down like a jell-o shot, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).
