The Witches of Letters: A Supernatural Rewatch Podcast

This week Joy and Laura are talking about season 2 episode 1 “In my time of dying”. Dean is in critical condition in hospital, and Sam and John are trying to find a way to save him. John does find a way, but it comes at a price!

We discuss the meaning behind Tessa’s name and its significance, and Laura is sad she won’t see Jeffery Dean Morgan anymore. We also both come to the realisation that everyone has green eyes! We had never noticed this before. We also discuss the deal struck by John and the demon and if there are any potential loopholes, and the many cute brotherly moments in this episode.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Sica Hollow, the list of magical ingredients John asks for to perform his ritual, and real life near death experiences.

Oh and if you know what film or show “there’s gotta be a way” is from, please tell us in the comments below as it’s driving us crazy!!

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

Laura then has some fun facts about the origins of the show, and to finish we play some end of season games.

This week Joy and Laura are discussing season 1 episode 22 “Devil’s Trap”. Sam and Dean try to save John and fight the Yellow Eyed Demon!

We discuss the fact that Sam is actually very much like John, and Dean is therefore the odd one out, how much we love Bobby, and how the demon lore on the show has changed over the course of season one. We also discuss some plot holes in this episode that annoyed us.

We have a lot to say about John being possessed and how Sam and Dean know he’s possessed. Joy’s Easter eggs include the meaning behind the name Rumsfeld, and spooky stories from the location of this episode.

We are at the end of season 1! Thank you everyone for listening. We are having a week off between season 1 and season 2. However, there will still be a wrap up episode and a blooper reel for you next week.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

This week Joy and Laura discuss season 1 episode 21 “Salvation”. Meg starts killing all of John’s friends in an attempt to lure him out. So he goes to meet with her while Sam and Dean go after the demon with the Colt.

In this episode we discuss how Sam only seems to have visions or powers when it helps the plot, how all the characters seem to have forgotten things they already know, like Meg being a demon! And how John just wants to save someone’s wife because he couldn’t save his own! *sad face*

Joy’s Easter eggs this week are about Blue Earth, Minnesota and the Devil’s Gulch, and a hidden message for John Winchester on the town sign.

This week Joy and Laura discuss season 1 episode 20 “Dead Man’s Blood”, and it’s a vampire episode! The vampires have an antique gun that John wants because it may be the key to defeating THE demon, so the Winchester’s set out to gain possession of it.

We loved the first vampire episode of Supernatural. We discuss the details within Elkins’ journal, the vampire teeth SFX, the tension between Sam and John, and what makes a hot vampire.

Joy’s Easter eggs include a survival story of a 17 year old girl who fell from an aeroplane, a real vampire from Colorado, and a series of attacks on cattle in Nebraska who locals think were victims of a vampire! And who do you think would win in a fight between the Winchester brothers and the Salvatore brothers?

This week Joy and Laura are discussing season 1 episode 19 “Provenance”. A haunted painting is killing its owners and Sam and Dean are on the case.

We discuss how out of place the boys are in this very fancy art scene (well let’s face it Dean is more out of place) and how stuck up and morally corrupt the auction house owner is. Joy loves how Dean is being a “weird cupid”,  Laura loves how badass Sarah is, and we both love Sam’s hero dive!

Joy’s Easter eggs this episode are about the first ‘legally haunted’ house, real haunted paintings, and much to a horrified Laura’s disgust real haunted dolls! Listen to hear her completely freak out!

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

This week Joy and Laura discuss season 1 episode 18 “Something Wicked”. Sam and Dean investigate a town where all the children are becoming sick. Is it pneumonia, or is the doctor a soul sucking witch?

Joy’s Easter egg this week is about the real Black River Falls, and all the spooky things that have happened there, including an epidemic where lots of children were victims, and therefore really parallels this episode. We discuss the similarities between Dean and Michael in this episode, how lonely Dean must have been his whole adult life, and Sam and Dean’s stolen childhood innocence. We also consider how JDM was de-aged for the flashback scenes, was it digital, or did he just shave?

This week Joy and Laura discuss season 1 episode 17 “Hell House”. Sam and Dean have a prank war while investigating a seemingly haunted house, and they meet paranormal investigators Ed and Harry for the first time.

We discuss tulpas and how the show has kind of created its own in Richardson, TX because of this episode. Laura tells us about her tv show pet peeve of drivers not watching the road, and Joy explains some of the real on set pranks that have happened during the show’s tenure.  Joy’s Easter egg links this episode to My Little Pony of all things, and did anyone know what persqueeter meant before this episode??

This week Joy and Laura discuss season 1 episode 16 “Shadow”.

Sam and Dean are investigating in Chicago where demonic shadow creatures are killing people. Meg is back and she’s evil!! We also see John Winchester again, albeit very briefly.

We discuss the SFX used for the shadow demons, how Meg might be linked to the Salem Witch Trials, and Laura is so annoyed with Dean in this episode for not using his upstairs brain!

We also talk about Sam and Dean’s reactions to seeing their dad again, we gush once more over Jeffery Dean Morgan’s acting skills and hotness, and we make more die hard references in this episode than we were expecting.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!
