We come to the end of our time at Riverdale High with an unfortunately bad couple of episodes. We talk about the characters not acting like themselves, the confusing way they write off FP, Archie being very unlikable, Hermosa getting her time to shine, infantilizing Jellybean, and the gross military propaganda.

Next week we’ll head back over to Sabrina with the first episode of part 3!

We’re heading toward the end of our time at Riverdale high with the end of season 4 and the beginning of season 5. We discuss Jughead’s “fictional” writing and how he views everyone, Mr. Honey’s over the top behavior, KO Kelly’s visit, Archie coming clean to Veronica, Toni’s inconsistent writing, and continue to wonder how big the town of Riverdale is. We also talk about Holes, High School Musical 2, MUTEK SF festival, and the movie Junior.

Next week will be our last episode on Riverdale before jumping back into Sabrina!

It’s the Hedwig episode! While we liked the music, we think the plot line fell a bit flat. We discuss how the episode only provides vague descriptions of the musical, the great drag costuming, and Betty and Archie being the center of the plot. We also talk about the reference heavy Lynch episode, Ethel once again being dragged through the mud, and getting to actually see Hiram be evil.
