You know how after everyone graduates and everyone's back home for the holidays and you meet up at an Applebee's? That's what this episode is, except it's four months later and we're still in the midst of a global pandemic – so why not dust off the old mics and get to chatting? We answer new "Dawson's Creek" questions, complain about "Iron Man 3," argue about cereal, and share some of the things we've been doing/watching/listening to since we "said good night, but not goodbye."

Our world is in a scary place right now and it's uncharted territory for most of us. Be safe, wash your hands, and enjoy our recommendations for what we're listening to, watching, and reading :)

We made it to the series finale! And nothing in it was spoiled for Charles!! FIRST: This is not our LAST episode! SECOND: We are so, so, so grateful to everyone who's come on this journey with us as we finally get to jump 5 years ahead and see what our favorite verbose teens-turned-young adults are up to. We know that the world feels a little bleak right now, but hopefully this very long episode can provide a little levity

Happy 2020! We're in the homestretch now... Dawson and Pacey are back in Capeside for very different reasons, and Joey has to babysit Harley. This episode is steeped in nostalgia, so you know we enjoyed it. Also, Mr. Gold returns! That was unexpected.

Road triiiiip! Featuring...Seth Rogen? Season 6 continues its weird and winding journey as Joey, Eddie and Audrey head west; Dawson struggles with exerting authority on set; and Jen tries to find love for Grams. And honestly? We're not into any of it.

Does this episode have all the right moves? There's no Dawson, and barely any Jack or Jen, so we're not too sure... but we do find out a little bit about what happened to Eddie, we see Pacey continue to soar at his seemingly shady job, and Audrey continues to spiral.

We recorded this not-so-merry episode way too late at night, so excuse our rambling as the group heads back to Capeside for an ill-fated dinner at the Leery household. And it ends with a hole in the side of Gail's house! Oof.

It's giveaway time!! Details in the abbreviated intro of this episode! We're surprised the ratings online for this episode aren't higher because we actually quite enjoyed seeing more of Dawson's movie set drama and also seeing more depth to Jack's storyline too. We don't love that the Paudrey is continuing to struggle, but I guess that's what a soapy teen drama brings to the table... 

604 - Instant Karma!

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 30, 2019 65:41


Dawson and Joey find themselves in a love rhombus, the Paudrey is in trouble, and Jack and his professor might be getting a little too close. Overall, this episode just made us sad, but we still found time to talk about ghosts and time travel.

Joey sends her personal email to Dawson to the entire Worthington campus on accident, Pacey starts stock broker-ing, and "Studious Jack" makes an appearance as he becomes clearly infatuated with Prof. Freeman's class.

SORRY for the rushed nature of this week's episode! We had technical difficulties and a scheduling conflict :( But perhaps it's fitting given how the writers just rushed through the Joey/Dawson stuff? They sleep together, they effectively break up, and then a lot of other stuff happens in the background with the rest of the gang. Season 6 is off to a tiring start!

WELCOME TO SEASON 6! The gang starts sophomore year of college, except for Dawson who's been working in Hollywood and doesn't even show up in the episode until half an hour in. Also, Jack Osbourne makes a cameo, which was very confusing to Charles.
