    In part three of their three-parter, Chrisha and Catherine address all the stuff that was just under the surface of the weirdness that was "The Heroes' Journey." Turns out, there was a LOT. By turns, the two discuss Destiel hopes and dreams, Dean's work to overcome the legacy of toxic masculinity in his life and its intersections with his sexuality, and that dance number.

    *S15E9 SPOILERS BELOW*




    In part three of their three-parter on "The Trap," Chrisha and Catherine have all the fun talking about shipping. All the fun. They discuss the quandary of whether or not Dean and Cas' relationship can even be considered subtext at this point, look at the parallels the show is drawing between Dean/Cas and Eileen/Sam, and look at the ways (both overt and subtle) in which "The Trap" pays tribute to Destiel.

    Note: Our intro in this episode includes promo materials for the rest of the season. Just wanted to give y'all a heads up.



    In this episode, Chrisha and Catherine take the opportunity to talk through feelings surrounding the cast and crew's return to the set of Supernatural and the emotional content that has been released on social media this week from the leads.

  • 13:3: "The Road Ahead" ... A Look Forward During Hiatus

    We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us via this Buzzsprout link to let us know what you're thinking about this episode!

    *S15 SPOILERS THROUGH EP8 BELOW*




    In this last of their three-part hiatus episode, Chrisha and Catherine reflect back on what we've learned thus far as a way of sussing out where we may be headed in the second half of Supernatural's 15th season. During part of the podcast, they revisit the S15 poster and look with fresh eyes at the imagery--and discuss everything from the Judeo-Christian meaning of octagrams to the traditional meaning of paired angels in medieval manuscripts--all with an eye to thinking through what may be next (in other words, WE GEEKED THE HECK OUT ON THIS ONE).

    Make sure you listen to the end for a (happy!) announcement--and #DramaticHairballsPart2.

  • 13.2: "The Road So Far" ... Subtext Edition

    We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us via this Buzzsprout link to let us know what you're thinking about this episode!

    *S15 SPOILERS THROUGH EP8 BELOW*




    In this second of three hiatus episodes, Chrisha and Catherine examine the role of subtext over the course of season 15. From mixtapes to "well, Cas, not for nothing, but..." to Purgatory (and Leviathan blossoms!), they delve into the past and present of Destiel and Dean's sexuality--and have a lot of fun in the process.

    Note: We kept the language profanity-free as always, but this podcast does include discussions of sex and sexuality and makes reference to sexual metaphors.

    We are very much aware that we are two women talking about the sexuality of men. If anything we say is ever insensitive or inaccurate, please feel empowered to let us know. We strive to share our own truths while also being as inclusive as we possibly can.

    *S15 SPOILERS THROUGH EP8 BELOW*




    In this first of three hiatus episodes, Chrisha and Catherine start with a retrospective, reflecting back on "The Road So Far." They explore many of the fall's revelations and its ongoing themes now that we have reached the midseason finale and have a broader perspective on Season 15.
