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.

Jughead lives! And we get to the bottom of all the Stone Wall mysteries. We untangle Bughead’s complicated plot to trick the preppies, when different people were brought in, Jonathon getting murdered, and the big misses with Donna’s character. We also cover Archie and Betty pretending to date, Forsythe’s reason for leaving, Mr Dupont’s murder, and Jughead’s incorrect definition of a locked-room mystery.

We have unfortunate news, Forsythe Pendleton Jones III has passed. Or has he? We talk about the big moment and the new Cold War between our protagonists and the preppies. We also discuss no holds barred Betty, Veronica being stuck in the same conflicts with her dad, Archie doing too much, and Mary’s questionable parenting decisions. We also cover Mean Girls, Anastasia and what type of actors we’d like to be.

Were a little tired this week but we did into why we’re not super excited about this weeks episodes. We discuss the Cooper family activation phrase, Archie and FP distributing street justice, Jughead facing reality and struggling with his dual life, Betty once again facing her dark side, Veronica becoming a rum entrepreneur, Cheryl setting fire to the past and wonder whether the Serpents are back.

Everybody’s stories start to come to a head and Riverdale decides everyone needs to sort things out in therapy. We discuss the insulated story lines, wonder once again about the geographic locations, the surprising return of Darla, Archie deep frying a turkey, Veronica battling her father, Jughead and Betty finally hanging out and scaring the preppies, Gina Torres killing it, and we break down who took something constructive from therapy and who didn’t.
