In this episode Joy, Laura and their guest Wally from The Wally Verse break down season 4 episode 22 “Lucifer Rising”. Sam and Dean are still at odds over Sam’s increasing reliance on Ruby and his demon-blood powers. Sam, convinced he must stop Lilith to prevent the apocalypse, continues working with Ruby to find and kill her. Meanwhile Dean has to deal with the angels who are trying to keep him away from Sam, because it is revealed that they in fact want Lillith to die as that is the final seal, and they want the apocalypse to happen. Dean works out what is going on and with Cas’ help gets to Sam to try and stop him, but it’s too late and the final seal gets broken freeing Lucifer.We discuss Ruby’s character arc, how nerdy Sam and Dean really are, how the angelic teleporting works, and our thoughts about Destiel.We also discuss the set design of the angel green room; how deep Azazel’s plot must have gone right from the start, due to what we see in the flashbacks in this episode; and who we think was behind the altered voicemail!Joy’s Easter eggs are about a haunted college in the same place as this episode is set (St. Mary's College "Hell House" in Maryland) and other links to it too.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/tt1222609/?ref_=ttep_ep_22 https://supernaturalwiki.com/4.22_Lucifer_Rising_(transcript) https://www.historicmysteries.com/history/hell-house-college/34180/ https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/st-mary-s-college https://supernatural.fandom.com/wiki/Lucifer_Rising https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=PersqueeterThe Shining opening credits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9spGH0YMkj8  Email us: [email protected] and follow us on socials:Find us on Instagram Find us on ThreadsSupport the show by leaving a review and a 5 star rating wherever you listen, and sharing the episode with a friend.You can find Wally on socials.

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 4 episode 19 “Jump The Shark”. Sam and Dean receive a call from a young man named Adam Milligan, who claims to be John Winchester's son and go to meet him. They help Adam investigate the disappearance of his mother, but things take a dark turn when it’s revealed that Adam and his mother have already been killed, and ghouls have taken on their forms. We play Kiss, Marry, Kill at the start. Then we discuss whether John is a better or worse dad for protecting Adam from the hunter life, Sam and Dean’s differing reactions to finding out about another sibling, and Laura feels sick from the enclosed spaces Dean has to be in during this episode.We also discuss how disturbing it is when Dean finds Adam and Kate’s bodies, and how Dean pointing out Sam is like their father is the ultimate insult.Joy’s Easter eggs are about Ghouls within Islam and other folklore, including an account from a Medieval monk in England.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/tt1222605/?ref_=ttep_ep_19 https://supernaturalwiki.com/4.19_Jump_the_Shark_(transcript) Joy’s show notesEmail us: [email protected] and follow us on socials:Find us on Instagram Find us on ThreadsSupport the show by leaving a review and a 5 star rating wherever you listen, and sharing the episode with a friend.Theme music is Hard Rock (Fireman) by AlexGrohl from Pixabay Supernatural podcast, Supernatural TV show rewatch, Supernatural episode recap, Supernatural rewatch podcast, Supernatural fan podcast, Supernatural analysis podcast, Sam and Dean Winchester, Castiel, hunters and monsters, Supernatural demons, Supernatural angels, lore, favourite Supernatural moments, SPNFamily, behind the scenes Supernatural, monster of the week podcast, paranormal, urban legends, horror, fantasy, Supernatural season 4 recap, women podcasters.
