Swimming in Sweetwater: A Deep Dive into Riverdale

If dancing in your living room makes you a witch then call me Goody Proctor

Just a little update from us to you that we will be done in time recording wise to do Season 7 live with the new episodes airing. But our episodes will be out late. If that makes sense

Some books we talk about  Jughead The Metamorphosis Kevin Lord_of_the_Flies Cheryl Flowers_in_the_Attic Veronica Kiss_of_the_Spider_Woman Betty Small Engine Repair Archie Songwriting from the heart Reggie dyslexia workbook  

Caitlin has turn a corner and realized Riverdale is CAMP and is somehow back in. Mari is emotionally ruined by FP's departure and is not coping 

Mark your calendars people Mari made Caitlin laugh with a pre written joke!! When are we? 1918 called PSTD table for three and a service animal Who are we? The She Wolf of Wallstreet Part 2 What are we? A Cult Why are we? Audacity of Betty Where are we? No one knows where Jughead is??

Post prison break mayhem at the school. Back to remote learning? Were the doing they previously? Hold on aren't they all teachers? Who is monitoring these kids? Is Alice a teacher too? Why doesn't she move? A gem from Ethiopia, am I going to have to watch that adam sandler movie? Penelople is a minister, Jason is jesus. if Cheryl is still keeping Jason's skeleton around, who did she give the Viking funeral to? Also this can't be jason because there was no bullet hole in the skull. But then she  SEES JASON??! Betty Bad at Boundaries Cooper's plan is to just sit in the truck and hope something happens? Tab asks her for help with Jughead, which is not super appropriate and again he lives with Archie.  Betty introduced Jughead to wig sex, she is not a metaphor for boring no fun, she helped you burn down your childhood home to get rid of evidence, she is the least boring person on this show Jugheads fever dream: Okay so where are all these men in suits coming from? I thought this was going to be a fever dream but was it real? All the kicking men in suits? Why are there so many of them? What business is in the unincorporated town of Riverdale that is drawing in all this suit wearing men who like to beat up people?

S5 Ep 10 Chapter 86 The Pincushion Man  Riverdale may be fictional but there is a real crisis going on, if you are looking to help Afghan refugees here is a charity that helps them get settled Back to the nonsense-- Betty: Official FBI Investigation - no Jugheads allowed 10 agents on the Lonely highway - where were all these people when the black hood was around? Sherwood Asylum? What is this Asylum?? Wasn't he never really captured and then Penelope used him as the Gargolye king? Oh WAIT I forgot about the hannibal lector room, how did he escape?? OMG the prom murders jesus this show is dark So his theory is that multiple killers are all in agreement to kill people around Riverdale, because all the dead bodies in the swamp span such a time. Betty thinks the killer is a man in his 50s (time to go back to the drawing board, so lame when they try and limit it who is old enough and not a murderer already, could it please be hiram so we can get him out of here) Her boyfriend is writing a dissertation about her family??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?? Dude, dude thats fucked up Fuck yeah she slaps him  This is the saddest birthday party ever, where are the other children, speaking of what happened to the elementary school? WHAT THE FUCK IS ON CHIC'S HEAD??? Is it a wig, did he stop to curl his hair before coming over? Did they call the police before sitting down? Or like text her boyfriend not boyfriend? A WEDDING, of course alice is an officiant,  The twins have had like 1 line each. Betty really needs to start actually participating in therapy because she keeps saying she is a lost cause but SHE HAS NOT KILLED ANYONE well until this episode. Alice has such a messed up relationship with her children.  So wait her boyfriend knew her brother, like biblically knew?? Whats the dynamic here because CHarles is like super pissed   Veronica isn't really divorced because of course not She wished him dead, girl same. Also did he know that and pull a hiram? Like did he fake the plane crash? Damn am i getting into the idea of chad? This is how all marriages should end, in a reverse.  Dancing to first song. I DO NOT TRUST HIM THOUGH   CHAD IS IN DEBT?!?! He is now blackmailing her? Get a Lawyer bitch, get a lawyer Cheryl yet again asking the question - is the maple syrup industry profitable? And Hiram asking the question - is riverdale making a commentary on the evils of real estate or do they also not understand how it works? Also Nana rose is now positing the theory that the blossoms only have maple syrup because they are saddddd What is this curse? WHY DOES HIRAM CARE ABOUT RIVERDALE HIGH SO MUCH WHAT IS THE ANGLE HERE?? Palladium vein - is this a red herring? Is this really the evil plot?  Hiram orchestrates a prison break, and reggie sets fire to maple grove, but Cheryl is obsessed, she will keep these groves Nana Rose says the curse could be ended by killing the interloper, really inconsistent with this curse.    Sex Dreams in the Sex Bunker with not a sex friend Jugheads agent is like really good? A spot that usually goes to Steven King Jughead is going to trip to write the book and rather than ask A) his best friend slash roommate Archie B) his alleged long term friend who was doing coke at 13 Veronica C) his pseudo step mom Alice:  he asks his boss that he is sexually attracted to and has already kissed   Later she will call herself his girlfriend which is confusing but was that just because of his ex? What trauma needs to be uncovered that is new??   I am sad the name is just maple mushrooms, also can you just cook psychedelic mushrooms with no training into a sauce, don't you have to be careful or whatever? Also why are we in charge of the bunker again, Jughead is living at Archies??   Jughead is rolling, so she chains him to the table, which seems like a BAD IDEA Betty appears in dream form “What I did to you senior year” Also what is on jughead's chest??  What was the pigtailed alien thing   Riverdale better commit fully for the first time, this better be aliens. Bloody manuscript and a missing Jughead   Archie should not be teaching War Ethics he is asking if its okay to disobey orders - and the answer is yes and for some reason a GENERAL IS THERE IN CLASS??? This town doesn't have functional fire department   THE WAR IS IN Uzbekistan!?!?!!!! Riverdale!! You can not handle this kind of current events   Why are the prisoners attacking the school? Oh because hiram is paying them? Love that Kevin is getting some action, even if it isn't from fangs.    Archie is also at odds with the GENERAL who honestly shouldn't know he exists, and if archie was in such promentate missions he should have a better position. But the NYT exists in Riverdale so thats something. Also did Archie not mention the prison break to veronica on this call?? Fact Check Corner  Palladium vein - this is real somehow, there is some in Montana Archie is getting the Silver Eagle - doesn't exist - there is the silver medal and there is a commendation medal that is bronze and has an eagle on it  Uzbekistan is a real country with some problems, we do have a military base there  Betty's death count : was zero before this episode, a reminder that Alice has killed at least 2  Derry is not in NY but in NH or in Maine While anyone can sign up to be an officiant you are not actually married until you sign and file a license with the state. 

Archie begins to recruit the football team. Manages to get a girl on the team. Yay we love britta. Veronica sings shallow Students leave a tip jar on jugs desk. He looks drunk and does a lot of deflecting. Chad shows up to Veronica's class. I hate his face. Very punchable.

Liver and faaava beans!  

Boy are we ready for a time jump!

One more episode before the time jump

The recap was so much. we remember absolutely nothing from season 4. The stalker, the smut videos, is mr honey dead. So many questions. Highlights Cheryl needs to be prom queen. Toni wants to be serpent queen. Is Betty still serpent queen? Are the serpents even around? Wasn't she pretty poisons queen? What happened to the teen gangs V and archie talk it out after he drops that he wrote a song for someone else. Agrees to keep it all hush hush and go separate ways after graduation. Jug and b make a fake snuff film with reg and cheryl. Could the Snuff Filmer be Jellybean all along??!?!

We recapped the Craft Legacy and do yourself a favor: Don't Watch it

Back with episode 2! We manage to keep mostly on topic (except for a rant about Steel Magnolias) and are LOVING this show. Nicknames come fast and loose so try and keep it up    If you make it to the end of the episode and were wondering what the fuck Caitlin is talking about here is a link to what goatheads are.  https://www.nazinvasiveplants.org/goathead

If you aren't into the smell of sunscreen, warm beer in the water, and a thick heel from not wearing shoes all summer: do not watch this show. Here is finally a hot teen show more into murders than singing or sex We play fast and loose with nicknames, try and keep up while we rehash all thing Episode One of Outer Banks on Netflix

We are back with the giggles and hard questions about domestic violence in a show about sexy teens. The Society episode 9 was recorded before the protests and national conversation about police brutality so before we get started: If you have some cash, you should put it towards the Black businesses in your community. As Caitlin and Mari, we love books and food but that's just us Black owned bookstores Black Owned Restaurants, Diners, and Cafes   on to the show Big Eyes wants an antifreeze round up, because the gun round up worked so well. Will points this out and they kiss about it and fight about kissing about it Chicken Noodle Soup wants Money Bags to run for mayor, and MB doesn’t really want to be CNS is so convincing. Alien Face is upset about it but how have you not figured out how Money Bags work Mary Magdalene finds Rabbit at the church. They stay at Mary Mag’s house but CNS sends a video message of a sleeping Mary Mag so Rabbit knows she is just putting her in danger.  Big Eyes decides she should maybe break up with Will. If the town thinks the two of them are working together, who are they going to trust? But also they already don’t like you. She also decides that the Guard can’t run for office. They flip out but she is right. Alan Rickman tries to get them on track, I don’t love that he is going to be out of town for this MacGyuver and Dr Alien Face are studying up on delivering babies and dare I say having some making babies vibes?  Rabbit gives up on running away and goes to Big Eyes where she confesses everything and Big Eyes does a 180 and turns into a helpful leader. Big Eyes will ‘arrest’ Rabbit to keep her from Chicken Noodle Soup, who still shows up at the house and demands to see Rabbit.  The Committee on Getting Fed is preparing to go. Alan Rickman is tough but Ginger appears with a book and a list of feelings and while they don’t totally solve everything they make out a little and Ginger tells him to come home. Everyone on this show can die as long as I get to watch Preggers, Alan Rickman, and Ginger raise this post apocalyptic Baby  Money Bags gives his mayor speech, hard to tell where he is going with it to be honest. Big Eyes does a better job but then Kathy Griffin shows up. Mostly to trash everyone else, but doesn’t totally have a new idea, she just says some truths. Money Bags DOES only care about himself and Big Eyes DOES have a power issue Big Eyes has a baby meltdown about not knowing what to do anymore and goes to bed w/ Will Dr Alien Face hangs out with Preggers (seriously only Alien Face and Mary Mag are good people) and they look at photos from the camping trip and recognize the bus driver as the dude that got rid of the smell. Which how the fuck were we supposed to see that?

Riverdale's Season 4 Finale! There is a couple of sound issues but blame Corona not us
