Angels, Werewolves, and Holiday MayhemWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Hosts Nate McWhortor and Krissy Lenz tackle Supernatural Season 14, Episode 9, "The Spear" — a mid-season finale packed with mythology, returning characters, and enough traumatic head injuries to make your own head spin. This holiday-adjacent episode sees Michael (in a new vessel) recruiting monsters for a sinister plan while the Winchesters scramble to stop him with the help of an unlikely ally: retired hunter-turned-dentist Garth.Nate and Krissy dissect Michael's elaborate trap, which involves archangel grace cocktails, a mysterious egg, Dark World Kaia's spear, and enough espionage attempts to make James Bond cringe. They marvel at Garth's well-meaning but catastrophically bad undercover work, debate the tonal whiplash of mixing Seinfeld-esque comedy music with apocalyptic stakes, and celebrate Jensen Ackles' masterful performance as Michael. The episode culminates in a devastating twist that leaves Dean trapped and the spear destroyed — and the hosts immediately spoil the next episode's incredible hook because they couldn't help themselves.The drinking game features rules for Michael Eyes (the hero rule), traumatic head injuries, decapitations (aka "the full Ichabod"), and various holiday references. While the game lands at a respectable three out of five spears due to several one-off rules, the hosts disagree on their final counts — Krissy catches 11 instances of Michael Eyes to Nate's eight, proving once again that this rule requires serious attention. Special highlights include Cass saying "cookie-tacular" and Dean's festive "Merry frickin' Christmas."Additional Highlights:
