Brenna and Joe venture deep into the Greendale woods to perform a dark ceremony in advance of Brenna's birthday and they're joined by a very special guest: Emily von Seele! The three unpack the gorgeous art and risky narrative in Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's 60s-set dark reboot of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and contrast it with the more risk-adverse 2018 Netflix adaptation - just in time for its return on April 5.

Along the way Brenna wonders why the goat masks in both Sabrina and its companion series Riverdale mean completely different things, Joe vents about the series' aesthetic choices (enough with the Vaseline Iris!) and the three lament the series' antiquated approach to feminist storylines and bland milquetoast boyfriend while praising its liberated "bad girls": Prudence and Madame Satan.

In homework: Joe is dismayed to learn that the new Noah Centineo Netflix movie The Perfect Date (April 12) is based on a YA book and Brenna makes a special birthday plea to listeners.
