• Episode 51: S3E5 “Bedtime Stories”

  This week Joy and Laura are talking about season 3 episode 5 “Bedtime Stories”. Sam and Dean investigate a series of gruesome murders in a small town that seem to mirror fairy tales. We discuss how the show has changed what EMF detectors do; how good the little old lady is; and the frog who becomes our MVP of this episode.We also call out Dean’s casual homophobia (Fairy Tales are for everyone Dean!) and how we think his character has changed at this point because he never used to seem like he had such fragile masculinity until recently, and Joy has a theory about why this might be. There’s also lots of discussion about Fairy Tales and their links to folklore and horror movies.Joy’s Easter eggs are about how the Led Zeppelin pseudonyms the boys use in this episode actually link to the fairytale theme of the episode; the Pagan roots behind the Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and how they have changed over time; and how storytelling is especially important to women’s safety, and links to the true crime community.Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!Sources used:https://epguides.com/Supernatural/  (for dates of episodes)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032137/?ref_=ttep_ep_5 Joy's show notes  Email us: [email protected] us on Instagram Theme music is Hard Rock (Fireman) by AlexGrohl from Pixabay

• Episode 50: S3E4 “Sin City”

  It’s our podcast anniversary! We can’t believe we have been doing this for 1 year already!This week Joy and Laura are talking about season 3 episode 4 “Sin City”. Sam and Dean investigate a rise in violence and suicides in a small town, where demons have been influencing the residents; while Bobby and Ruby fix the Colt.We discuss how this is our least favourite episode of season 3 so far, mainly because of the objectification of women in the script, and the general ick factor, but also because of the recurring demon dust; and we decide that we would have loved to see a whole episode of Ruby helping Bobby fix the Colt, rather than this one.We also discuss how Dean is really not ok when he refuses to eat; and what happens to someone when they die and are resurrected, like both of our main characters have now, because what is happening to Sam?Joy’s Easter eggs are about Elizabeth Town, Ohio and a haunted bar there; and also some information about different politicians who are dragged in this episode including Tony Perkins and Dick Cheney.Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!Sources used:https://epguides.com/Supernatural/  (for dates of episodes)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032135/?ref_=ttep_ep_4 Joy's show notes Email us: [email protected] us on Instagram Theme music is Hard Rock (Fireman) by AlexGrohl from Pixabay
