Weekend at Bobby's: The Hunter Who Does It AllWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor dive into Supernatural Season 6, Episode 4, "Weekend at Bobby's"—Jensen Ackles' directorial debut and a love letter to everyone's favorite gruff hunter. This bottle episode gives Jim Beaver the spotlight he deserves as we witness Bobby Singer juggling demon torture, monster research, FBI visits, and a very persistent neighbor with famous peach cobbler—all while trying to get his soul back from Crowley.The hosts explore the brilliance of this episode's structure, following Bobby through an exhausting weekend of phone calls from hunters (including the always-hilarious Garth), dealing with foreign monsters popping up in America, and navigating an increasingly complicated situation with the King of Hell. The emotional heart comes when Bobby finally unleashes on Sam and Dean for calling him "selfish," delivering one of the series' most memorable rants. Nate and Krissy also discuss the questionable logistics of Rufus crisscrossing the country, the wood chipper solution to monster problems, and why Bobby's neighbor Marcy probably regrets bringing over that cobbler.Additional highlights:The drinking game rules include Bobby answering calls (the heavy hitter), "balls," son of a bitch, and outdated 2010 techMark Sheppard's Crowley steals every scene, from his Bobby impression to complaining about managing demons like a bad office jobThe clever reveal of how to kill demons permanently—burn their original human bonesJensen Ackles' directorial choices and the use of "The Gambler" during Bobby's research montageWhy a wood chipper might be the ultimate supernatural weaponThe hosts rate the drinking game 4 out of 5 phone calls and agree this is an episode they could rewatch immediately. Up next: Season 2, Episode 18, "Hollywood Babylon," with rules including Dean eating, Dean flirting, and a Die Hard reference shot.Learn more about Gank That Drank and access episodes early and ad-free at trustory.fm.

We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us via this Buzzsprout link to let us know what you're thinking about this episode!Chrisha and Catherine are BACK to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the "I love you" heard around the world in Supernatural's episode "Despair."They begin with an update on how they are both doing (spoiler alert: shipwreck documentaries and true crime are major pasttimes at the moment) and their take on the current status of fandom in general.They then move on to the events from Purgatory Con 9, which took place in Dusseldorf, Germany, from May 31st-June 1st, 2025. They focus in particularly on Jensen talking about the meaning of "Watching Over Me" and his approbation as he listened to Misha discuss "Despair"'s homosexual declaration of love. As part of this discussion, they contrast their past worry about getting things wrong in their analysis with their current, more relaxed feeling about approaching Supernatural-related material, even without the confirmation of figures like Ackles.Their conclusion: If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it's a f***ing duck, y'all. And that's how they're going to approach everything from now on.Note: The question Jensen answered about "Watching Over Me" was from @blanketforcas.bsky.social, who kindly provided us with a transcript of what she asked here after this episode went live!

KJ and Meredith are welcoming a new voice to the show this week, David (Gimmicks, Fear-Coded, Are You My Mother?) to talk about an episode of television that loves television. David brings his expertise in genre-bending TV, KJ accuses the Supernatural writers of colluding with the Grey's Anatomy team, and Meredith has to update our mythology section now that The Trickster's true identity is revealed. CW Episode Description: The Trickster (guest star Richard Speight Jr.) throws Sam and Dean into an alternate universe where they are characters in different television series, including a sexy medical show, a Japanese game show, a forensics show and a sitcom. The brothers realize the only way to get out of this world is to play along and become the characters in the shows. However, Castiel appears and warns them this universe is dangerous and they must get out before they become trapped.Episode recorded on July 19, 2025Linktree including sign up sheet to be on the podcast and our Discord server: https://linktr.ee/SupernaturalOpinionsPodcast Find our cohost Meredith on tiktok, instagram and Tumblr: shaedsofdeianeiraGuest social medias:David: dmuma on all the thingsGimmicks: https://www.glitterjaw.com/gimmicks Are You My Mother?: https://www.glitterjaw.com/are-you-my-motherFear-Coded: https://www.glitterjaw.com/fear-codedWell That Certainly Wasn't In The Bible by Owl_Lady on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1109845

In October 2015, we put out the very first episode of the Plaidcast, covering the Pilot of Supernatural.  We showed up with enthusiasm, trepidation, a background in literary criticism, a single page of notes, and zero recording experience.  We worked hard to keep our episodes concise, because who wants to listen to English teachers ramble for over 70 minutes? 10 years and 230 podcast episodes later, much like the later seasons of the show, all restraints have been abandoned! :)  To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we decided to rewatch the episode that started it all, with a new appreciation for Sam's bangs, shadowy public libraries, and Eric Kripke at the helm.

Welcome to the Memory Lane Motel: Dean's Mind Gets Wiped CleanWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast. Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor as they dive into Supernatural Season 12 Episode 11 "Regarding Dean" — a heart-wrenching yet hilarious episode where Dean Winchester loses his memory thanks to a witch's dying curse. What starts as Dean thinking he had an "epic night" quickly turns serious when he can't remember his own name, leading to some of Jensen Ackles' finest acting moments.The hosts craft drinking game rules around Dean's bunny encounters, waffle cravings, and his repeated use of "awesome" while navigating his memory loss. Krissy and Nate particularly praise the emotional weight of Dean's mirror scene where he desperately tries to remember who he is, with that single tear rolling down his cheek becoming an instant classic moment. They also celebrate Ruth Connell's nuanced performance as Rowena, who gets some beautiful character development through her heart-to-heart conversations with memory-wiped Dean.The discussion explores how Dean's joy upon learning he's a monster hunter contrasts sharply with his usual misery about the job — a fascinating glimpse into what he might be like unburdened by trauma. The hosts note how this episode perfectly balances comedy with genuine pathos, making it both entertaining and emotionally resonant.Additional Highlights:The trivia reveals the episode title references the Harrison Ford film Regarding HenryTwo bunnies on set were actually named Sam and DeanDiscussion of why Sam doesn't immediately recognize something's wrong with DeanAnalysis of the Lachlans as somewhat generic CW villains compared to the episode's emotional corePraise for the final montage set to "Broomstick Cowboy"The hosts rate this drinking game a solid 3-4 out of 5 bunnies, noting that while some rules only triggered once or twice, the episode's emotional beats and Jensen's performance make it a must-watch. Next up: Season 9, Episode 12 "Sharp Teeth"—a Garth-centric episode exploring the question of whether what you are matters less than who you are.Connect with the hosts: Learn more about Krissy and Nate's live comedy shows at the Neighborhood Comedy Theatre in downtown Mesa, Arizona.

Dragons, Virgins, and Cringe-Worthy One-Liners: A Supernatural AdventureWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor as they dive into Supernatural Season 6 Episode 12 "Like A Virgin"—the much-anticipated dragon episode that Supernatural fans constantly reference. After Sam's soul is restored and Dean's heroic complex kicks into overdrive, the boys face mythical beasts, questionable pickup lines, and enough cringe moments to fuel a drinking game.The Soul-Crushing Setup & Dragon DramaThe episode picks up with Sam finally getting his soul back from Hell, complete with Death's mysterious wall keeping those traumatic memories locked away. But there's no time for emotional processing when virgin girls start disappearing and getting "snatched" across the country. The investigation leads to everyone's favorite mythical creatures—dragons—who apparently haven't been seen for 700 years but are now collecting virgins and gold like some twisted fantasy game. Dean channels his inner knight by attempting to wield the legendary Sword of Brunswick, though his approach involves more C4 explosives than chivalry.Lies, Maps, and Awkward Not-HugsThis episode delivers peak brother dynamics as Dean desperately tries to protect Sam from the truth about his soulless year, leading to a drinking game goldmine of lies between the boys. Bobby struggles with his own feelings about Sam's return, Castiel remains endearingly naive, and there's an abundance of maps scattered throughout their research montages. The hosts particularly enjoyed counting the cringe-worthy moments and pop culture references, including Dean's Comic-Con quip and various Batman jokes that definitely didn't age well:Dragon fight sequences that left viewers wanting more actual dragon transformationsDr. Visyak's introduction as Bobby's mysterious contact with serious chemistry potentialThe revelation of Eve as the "Mother of All" setting up the season's big badDrinking game rules included shots for awkward not-hugs and sips for every "dragons" mentionOver 50+ drinks total for players following the full rulesetFinal Thoughts & Next Episode PreviewWhile "Like A Virgin" delivers on Supernatural mythology and character development, both hosts agreed the dragon execution felt budget-limited despite the episode's ambition. The real treasure lies in Sam's emotional return and the setup for bigger threats ahead. Next episode ventures into Season 12 territory with "Regarding Dean"—promising bunny encounters, witch drama, and what the hosts describe as "top notch work from Jensen Ackles" in a frequently memed episode.Connect with Gank That DrankCatch Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor live at Neighborhood Comedy Theatre in Mesa, Arizona, where they'll buy you a drink at the Sacred Pint if you mention you're a listener.

Nach einer gefühlten Ewigkeit sind wir zurück aus der Sommerpause und sprechen natürlich über die Gamescom, bei der Andi zu Gast war, Wrestlemania in Saudi-Arabien und die Nintendo Direct, bei der ein ungewöhnliches Gadget angekündigt wurde. Tobi erzählt, wie er einmal wie eine Flipperkugel durch die Lokalpresse und sogar Radio Bamberg geschleudert wurde, da sein neues Krimispiel endlich erhältlich ist. Außerdem erinnert Andi daran, dass Corona leider noch immer ein Thema ist - seine Partnerin hat es nämlich erwischt. In den Empfehlungen haben wir für euch die Berufsfeuerwehr, die fünfte Staffel einer starbesetzten Krimiserie, das Spiel des Jahres 2025, die Filmkomödie des Kino-Jahres, die Fortsetzung eines Kultfilms und die zweite Staffel einer rabiaten DC-Serie. Im Filmbingo schwärmt Andi von der kultigen Kinokomödie "Ein Ticket für zwei", mit der sich Steve Martin und John Candy unsterblich gemacht haben. Tobi hingegen erzählt, warum sich "Countdown" mit Jensen Ackles wie ein Krimi von der Stange anfühlt und warum das nicht zwingend schlecht sein muss. In diesem Sinne: Viel Freude mit unserem Comeback!

Joining KJ and Meredith this week are two first time guests Alyssa and Meg. This week's episode leads to the most complicated and potentially controversial death count segment to date, thanks to alternate realities, demonic viruses, and the humanization of an angel. Meredith gives us the 4-1-1 on Lucifer in the mythology segment, while KJ alternates between gratitude for Sam's socks and a plea for ethical non-monogamy in the event of post-apocalyptic life. CW Episode Description: Sam tells Dean he wants to rejoin Dean in the battle of the Apocalypse, but Dean tells Sam that they are better off apart. Later, Dean awakens five years in the future in an abandoned city and is attacked by humans who have been infected with a demonic virus that turns humans into Zombies.

“One thing I've found in the crime genre is that homicides are always interesting. When somebody's killed, whatever that case may be, it's usually compelling drama. So then it's up to you as the writer to surprise the audience and do things that they didn't think were coming. I've described it like this before: If you can hit the sweet spot of, ‘I didn't see that coming! I should have seen it coming, but I didn't see it coming,' That, to me, is the best writing. It's like, when you got to the end of The Sixth Sense, and you were like, ‘Oh my god, I should have seen that coming!' That was great writing,” says Derek Haas, creator and writer for the show Countdown on Prime.  You may know Derek Haas from the popular NBC procedural dramas like Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Now, he's got a new crime drama on Prime called Countdown that tells one twisty crime story over 13 episodes – all written by Haas. Set in Los Angeles, Countdown follows a secret task force who discover a sinister international plot that threatens millions of lives. The show stars Eric Dane, Jensen Ackles and Jessica Camacho as undercover agents all harboring dark secrets of their own.  On this episode of the podcast, we chat with Haas about starting his career as a crime novelist, writing movies like 2 Fast 2 Furious, 3:10 to Yuma and Wanted before making the switch to TV. Haas talks about working with director John Singleton, prolific TV producer Dick Wolf and writing characters that hook audiences. He also shares his advice for writing action sequences that both stun visually and surprise the audience.  “When I think about action sequences, I always go back to Raiders of the Lost Ark. My favorite action sequence of any movie ever is when Indiana Jones has to fight this gigantic Nazi guy, and – in any other movie – that would have been the only thing that's happening. But they put Marion in a plane where she gets trapped because the cover of the plane closes. Then the plane's propellers start spinning. The plane starts spinning, gas is leaking out of the plane, there's other people running by with machine guns. So it's not just, ‘Oh, here's a fight,' it's ‘Here's a fight, but there's eight other things happening at once.' I really try to do that in these chase sequences, because you have seen a million of them. What's the other factors I can bring to it? How can I show you something you haven't seen before? Sometimes it's character, and sometimes, it's the stunt itself,” says Haas.  To hear more screenwriting advice from Haas, listen to the podcast.
