Dawson's Darlings

Season five is here! In an episode chock full ‘o stories, guest stars, and One Tree Hill references, we are back with Screek & Co. as The J’s take over the Sugar Shack and Dawson shows off his knees. (The episode description makes a lot more sense after you listen to the episode)

Season 5, Episode 1 - “The Bostonians”

From HBO Max: Though they have all left Capeside for school and beyond, things between Joey, Dawson, Jen, Jack and Pacey remain unsettled.

Let’s start with this fact and go from there: how DARE anyone give this one a 23% on Rotten Tomatoes? In our longest episode yet, Zazz goes beat-by-beat through Coyote Ugly, and Kim tells the story of a social media interaction that had her rethinking her entire life.

From Amazon Prime: Graced with a velvet voice, 21-year-old Violet Sanford heads to New York to pursue her dream of becoming a songwriter only to find her aspirations sidelined by the accolades and notoriety she receives at her "day" job as a barmaid at Coyote Ugly.

It’s the season four finale! Can. You. Believe. It?? (We cannot) Dawson and Joey are making moves, Kim has a hot press on nail tip (not press on nail tips, a tip about press on nails), and Zazz rounds out the episode with some #TechTalk. Plus, special guest star Retro has *thoughts*.

Season 4, Episode 23 - “Coda” 

From HBO Max: As Dawson prepares to leave for college, he and Joey reunite in order to say goodbye.

Listen as Zazz and Kim realize, ON AIR, that Eataly is a chain. Plus, Zazz has an A+ snack, Drew has a C- prank, Grams has a quick sale on the house, and Kim is ABSOLUTELY FINE with it being Election Day.

Season 4, Episode 22: “The Graduate”

From HBO Max: Graduation for the Class of 2001 brings friends and family back together as it prepares to drive them apart.

Kim tells an embarrassing story about being a fan of this episode’s writer, while Zazz has some very specific thoughts on Das*ni water. Oh, and also, the cast of characters of Dawson’s Creek do different things.

Season 4, Episode 21: “Separation Anxiety”

From HBO Max: Gretchen’s return to college forces Dawson to make an important decision of his own; Jen balks when Grams wants to sell the house to pay for her college tuition.

In an episode recorded right after Midnights was released, Zazz is upset about hand gestures, Kim is upset about never holding a World Record, and everyone with a heart is upset about how Pacey treats Joey.

Season 4, Episode 20 - “Promicide”

From HBO Max: While sparking a pair of possible romances, Capeside’s senior prom threatens the future of two others.

What’s the difference between fishing and camping? What’s the proper length of time Gail can be overdue before she gets induced? What’s more important, being a good girlfriend or being a girlfriend with surprises? All the questions get answered and more!

Season 4, Episode 19: “Late” 

From HBO Max: As Gail struggles with an overdue baby, Joey worries that she may be pregnant.

Zazz is bringing an "I'm about to see Lizzo in concert" energy to this episode,  and really... do you need to know anything else? Oh, also, equally exciting, we finally have a Jen episode!

Season 4, Episode 18: “Eastern Standard Time”

From HBO Max: Senior Ditch Day sends Dawson and Gretchen on a road trip to Maine; Jen takes Joey to New York for a showdown with her dad.

The ladies are on one (aren’t they always?) about college tuition prices, while Zazz gives a play-by-play of Aaron Judge’s time at bat.

Season 4, Episode 17: “Admissions”

From HBO Max: The excitement over Joey’s college admission is dimmed when she learns how much it’s going to cost.

We asked for a storyline for Jen. We begged for a storyline for Jen. All to get… this one. Also, as a reminder: no good comes from lying.

Season 4, Episode 15: “Mind Games”

From HBO Max: Pacey and Joey’s effort to spend a night together create an opportunity for Dawson and Gretchen; Jen enlists Jack to help spy on her therapist
