Here we are, at the end of all things... or at the very least, at the end of the first season of RIVERDALE: Season One, Chapter Thirteen: The Sweet Hereafter.  Join us as we discuss: supporting Cheryl Blossom's wrongs once again, the rising levels of literal magic in Riverdale, and boning to Believer by Imagine Dragons.

(cw for suicide as a plot point - our discussion of it is relatively brief)

Riverdale: Season One: Chapter Ten: The Lost Weekend.  Let's put on our hats and get weird to celebrate Jughead's secret birthday (shhh!).  Highlights this week include the return of Dark Betty, an incredibly awkward dance-off, a raucous round of Secrets and Sins, and the most sinister rendition of Happy Birthday of all time.

Hey! This isn't Riverdale, but it is still Han and Alix, and we still love LOONA. With the possible end of LOONA in sight, we decided to jump back on the wagon for one last spin around the Mobius strip to discuss all the recent news. Talking points today include: our best friend Chuu, the endless bungles of BBC, a multitude of lawsuits, and the future of the girls of the month.

Riverdale: Season One: Chapter Eight: The Outsiders: this episode has everything. A baby shower! Child labor(?)! Dilves! Confusing reproductive politics! Val (for one second)! As usual, we spend a longer time thinking about Kevin's interiority than any of the writers of this show ever have. Then we find out which Riverdale character is our soulmate. I tell you, these quizzes are disrespectful sometimes. >:(

This week is Chapter Seven: In a Lonely Place. We discuss what season it is in Riverdale (coats, but also mosquitos?), the sudden appearance of nightclub The Roving Eye, and how Jughead and Archie's dads are Two Guys Who Have A Weird Gay Thing. Some stuff also happens with the mystery this show is about, I guess. Then we talk about Cole Sprouse playing Elden Ring for like five minutes. Middle school me is swooning at Cody from Suite Life talking about video game minutiae, let me tell you.

Today's episode is Chapter 6: Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill! Betty and Jughead continue to investigate a murder, but what's more important is that Archie just HAS to get into the talent show. Hey, what is Riverdale trying to say about race and gender with the Pussycats??? Lots of things, none of them very coherent. We also get introduced to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, local cult multipurpose room. You can do whatEVER freak shit you want in there. The episode ends with our first sick Riverdale musical moment, before we go to our last segment: exploring a rival Riverdale'd Peanuts pitch.

You thought there wouldn't be an episode today, but this was an elaborate prank. You CAN actually listen to us talk about Chapter Five: Heart of Darkness! We discuss some iconic funeral outfits, some unrealistic career expectations for teens, and whether or not Cheryl and Veronica want to become girl best friends. Alix also takes Han on a journey into the lesbian Jughead controversy of 2017/2018, which is not a joke and is actually a real thing that happened in the fandom. I'm going to put like six different links about this on our twitter, I swear.
