SPN GeorgEpisode 6.08 All Dogs Go To Heaven(except these dogs, because they're actually monsters, but purgatory probably needs doggos too so...)
I am not gonna sugar coat this one. It's... not good lol. Like it's one of the episodes I'd repeatedly forget existed at all until it came back up on the rewatch. Unfortunately I've rewatched the series so many times now that I'm incapable of forgetting it exists now.
Like all the worst episodes, though, there's like three minutes at the end of the episode that's actually too important to overlook as character/meta/overarching narrative plot points, and I did...2023-06-3054 min

Archie Digest: A Riverdale PodcastChapter Thirty-Four: Judgment NightTonight’s Riverdale was, as we had expected last week, ABSOLUTELY NUTS.
So much stuff happened in such a short stretch of time in the first few minutes that it really made us wonder how we got through it all in just 40 minutes — so it took us a bit longer than that to unpack all of it.
You can listen to us rant and rave here.

Pardon our dust -- there were some sound quality issues relating to slow connectivity (thanks, East Coast snowy weather!) -- but if you have been listening right along, you have heard worse. Trust me.
We talk about what exactly is going on with the Blossom Family, the Cooper Family (aka the Blossom Family Part II), and the FBI...who aren't really in Riverdale, right? We can all agree that guy is full of crap?
Anyway, have a listen!

This time, though, so is the movie, and holy cow, we had some fun skewering it, all while trying to have a semi-serious discussion about what Riverdale does better, what it might learn from this movie, and more. We hope you enjoy it almost as much as we didn't enjoy watching this turkey for you.

We’ve got quite a bit going on this week. Obviously the biggest piece is talking about “Chapter Five: Heart of Darkness,” the episode of Riverdale that just finished airing minutes ago as of when this episode posted.
