  • 2.15 ... That Is the Question

    Ask us again Creeps because this week we watched season 2 episode 15 “... That Is the Question” (Original airdate February 17th, 1999. Written by Kevin Williamson and Greg Berlanti and directed by Gregory Prange). We get a big gay revelation, the triumph of Pacey’s new homework skills over educational facism, and the first stirring of the great Grams social justice renaissance. If you want to be stirred by some more gay revelations, follow us on twitter (@dawsons_creeps) and instagram (@dawsonscreeps). We also have a great soundtrack to come out tearfully to AKA our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow?

  • 2.14 To Be or Not To Be...

    Roses are red / Mr. Peterson is so dumb / but Creeps there is NOTHING gay / about this poem. We watched “To Be or Not to Be...” (Original airdate February 10th, 1999. Written by Kevin Williamson and Greg Berlanti and directed by Sandy Smolan).This is a doozy! Get ready for a crash course in 90’s misunderstandings about sexuality and for a Pacey so beautiful and just that your horniness may tear your whole life apart. For more poetry and spank off material, follow us on twitter (@dawsons_creeps) and instagram (@dawsonscreeps).

  • 2.13 His Leading Lady

    We are ready for our closeups Creeps because this week we ARE “His Leading Lady” (Original airdate February 3rd, 1999. Written by Darin Goldberg and Shelley Meals and directed by David Semel). We get object lessons in bad behavior from manic pixie dream girl in training Devon (aka RACHEL LEE COOK) going full method on Josephine, to Jawson wallowing in his breakup by forcing everyone he knows to help him make a movie about it, to a man trapping a hungry and unwilling woman at bible study, and even Saint Pacey ignoring pleas for space in order to engage in some light breaking and entering.

    If you want to learn from our impeccable behavior, follow us on twitter (@dawsons_creeps) and instagram (@dawsonscreeps). Need a soundtrack for your demented heartbreak reenactment film? Might I suggest our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow? Join us next week when I pray Abby Morgan will be back to spice up the Creek!

  • 2.12 Uncharted Waters

    Anchors away Creeps! We’re plunging into season 2 episode 12, “Uncharted Waters” (Original airdate January 27th, 1999. Written by Dana Baratta and Mike White and directed by Scott Paulin).

  • 2.10 High Risk Behavior

    We hope you’ve been tested Creeps cause this week we’re participating in some “High Risk Behavior” (Original airdate January 13th, 1999. Written by Jenny Bicks and directed by James Whitmore Jr.) We ask the tough questions - what exactly does abolishing the police look like? How do we create antiracist institutions that promote justice to replace them? And did Britney Spears and the Olsen Twins die for our sins? Bop over to Twitter (@dawsons_creeps) to see how Jack McPhee, Zoe and Gabby express their sexual experience as fine art. While you’re at it, creep around our Insta (@dawsonscreeps) for some even finer art and the link to our antiracism google doc (now with added abolition links!) Don’t forget to cruise by Spotify for our Creek playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow? Defund Dougie!

    Strip down and start working on those mail-in ballots because we watched season 2 episode 9 “The Election” (Original airdate December 16th, 1998. Written by Darin Goldberg and Shelley Meals and directed by Patrick R. Norris). We talk anti-racism, mental health, police violence AND Abby Morgan’s lipstick choices.

  • 2.8 The Reluctant Hero

    Get ready to fight for truth, justice and the Capeside way Creeps because it’s clobberin' time for season 2 episode 8 “The Reluctant Hero” (Original airdate November 25th, 1998. Written by Kevin Williamson, Darin Goldberg, and Shelley Meals and directed by Joe Napolitano). We’re stepping up to the plate (dinner, not baseball) to unpack the thrilling heroics of men allowing women to make them sandwiches, firemen carrying business professional teen gals out of threesomes, and being aroused by lightning. While we’re all waiting patiently for an episode where the girls get to be heroes, keep yourselves entertained with our Twitter (@dawsons_creeps) and Instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and get pumped up to do hero stuff with our spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow. 

    Who on earth hasn’t watched HBO’s Sharp Objects yet? If you are one of this accursed bunch, get on it! If not, early summer time is perfect for a rewatch with all the doors and windows open and a cool drink in hand.

    The Wolf Hall series by Hilary Mantel is incredible! If you want more wives action, check out Divorced, Beheaded, Survived: A Feminist Reinterpretation Of The Wives Of Henry VIII by Karen Lindsey and Pieces of Her by Karen Slaughter per Zoe’s recommendation.
