We discuss high school drama TV shows and films in light of the genre-breaking, star-birthing teen drama Euphoria. Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn and Al touch on Riverdale, Skins, Degrassi, John Hughes films, Buffy, Saved By the Bell, 90210, and many others. How much of the plots are driven by "affluenza?" What do they have to say about friendship? Is there something very white about even shows like Euphoria that have plenty of POC characters? Do the "genre" shows (e.g. The Craft) count?

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane and Bob sit down with Dallas Mavericks rookie Morez Johnson for a real conversation about the journey from Riverdale to the NBA. Morez covers growing up in Riverdale, playing with Chicago Demons and Mean Streets AAU, leaving Illinois through the transfer portal, and choosing Michigan because Coach Dusty May was locked in on player development. They won a national title, and then draft night came and he ended up in Dallas playing for Coach May again. Dwyane connects over their shared Chicago and Harvey roots, gets into what the rookie wall actually feels like before All-Star break, and tells Morez to document everything, study real film not just highlights, and never leave anything on the table in year one. Closes by handing over his number for whenever Morez needs him. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.

What did we all do to deserve this? Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook are collaborating on Archie in Hell, part of the new Oni Press/Archie Comics partnership. They're two of the best cartoonists working in the industry today. We never imagined them together on the same book, especially one that sends America's favorite teenager straight to H-E double hockey sticks. Whatever we did, let's keep doing it. Coming straight out of Baltimore Comic-Con, having just moderated the Archie Comics panel with Oni Press President and Publisher Hunter Gorinson and Archie Comics President and Editor-in-Chief Mike Pellerito, we're buzzing with a new passion for this 85-year-old universe. This week's podcast starts with a Baltimore Comic-Con review (spoilers: another blast was had at one of the country's best and most proper comic book conventions), before diving into everything currently going down at Archie Comics…and, yeah, we do mean DOWN. We spoke with both Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook about Archie in Hell, and clearly they're having the time of their lives working together, as this conversation is filled with all the giggles. Why does punishing Archie Andrews feel so good? Why is horror such a fun genre to splash atop Riverdale? Those questions are at the heart of today's show. Archie in Hell #1 is written by Patrick Horvath, illustrated by Tyler Crook, and colored by Francesco Segala. It arrives in comic book shops on November 4th, but Final Order Cutoff (FOC) is September 28th. Follow Patrick Horvath on his website, Instagram, and Bluesky.

What's in a title? This week, Kyle Starks takes us to school, detailing the best way to hook a reader and use your following to do it. Louise Sprouse Stole My Heart (And I Have Two Hours to Get It Back) is live on Kickstarter. As of this writing, you have eight days to back this book and grab yourself a cute little desk calendar in the process. The comic is the third from Kyle Starks, following Karate Prom and Wrestle Heist, which his followers named. They supplied the inspiration, and the challenge was living up to it. Having read all three, we believe Starks has never failed, and we're excited to learn he's doing it again right now on his Patreon. Louise Sprouse Stole My Heart (And I Have Two Hours to Get It Back) is another hitman tale from Starks, but it's his most romantic, and certainly his most gory. This darling is black, white, and bloody, but accomplished in the most endearing, relatable fashion. Whenever Starks is behind the pen, the resulting story delivers on the “awwwwws” as well as the giggles. We swoon for Starks. Returning to the podcast for the second time this year, Starks chats with us about the importance of a title, building a community, and making your comics physical. Also, don't waste your time drawing characters that don't matter. Follow Kyle Starks on BlueSky, Instagram, and his Website. Other Relevant Links to This Week's Episode: Listen AD-Free!

This week, we are giving a second listen to our very special episode with Lili Reinhart. Reinhart is an actor, producer, and founder of the skincare brand Personal Day. She knew she wanted to be an actor from a young age and spent her tween and teenage years auditioning, self-taping, and begging her parents to let her finish schooling online so she could concentrate on her craft. At 19, she was cast as Betty Cooper on the hit CW show Riverdale and spent the next seven years in a nonstop filming and production cycle. During this busy period of life, she still found time to pursue outside projects, publishing a book of poetry in 2020 and founding a production company. When Riverdale ended in 2023, it allowed her a moment to pause and consider what she wanted to work on going forward. Since then, she's been developing projects with her production company that ignore the mainstream in favor of tackling topics like mental health. She's taken on a few acting projects, like the TV series Hal & Harper, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last month. She also spent two years developing her skincare line, Personal Day,and has been receiving great reviews for its nonirritating formulas and effective solutions for acne-prone skin. Since this episode's original release, Reinhart's career has continued to thrive, and her latest project, The Love Hypothesis, premieres on September 23.

Talk about it: pursueGOD.org/ac
Light the Bat-Signal, friends. Scott Snyder is back on the podcast, reflecting on Batman: The Court of Owls and how it served as a massive lesson in character. Both on and off the page. Fifteen years ago, a roar rushed through every local comic book shop. Cries of blasphemy rattled over the racks and rippled atop the longboxes. DC Comics rebooted every single one of their titles with a new number one, calling it The New 52, and readers were as anxious about it as they were willing to buy every single title. It was a linewide reset, and it felt as radical as comics could get for new readers, and even gave the old heads some pause. Batman (Vol. 2) #1 arrived on September 21st, 2011. It was written by Scott Snyder, penciled by Greg Capullo, inked by Jonathan Glapion, colored by FCO Plascencia, and lettered by Richard Starkings and Jimmy Betancourt. Today it's considered a modern classic, having just gotten the Compact Comics $9.99 seal of approval. Fifteen years ago, however, it was anything but a sure thing, especially from Scott Snyder's perspective. On this hallowed Batman Day, we're deeply pleased to chat with Scott Snyder about this extreme moment in time. We discuss the panic he felt when he first got the title, the mission he set for himself, and the battle he fought to stay on target with his new partner-in-comics, Greg Capullo. Is Batman the ultimate detective? Or can he screw up royally, living decades in ignorance while the diabolical Court of Owls controls his streets? Fighting for a fallible Bruce Wayne nearly got him ripped off the book, but his passion for growth-mindset superheroes is what's rocketing Absolute Batman to the top of the bestseller charts today.

Tom Kreager break down a wild Week across Middle Tennessee, delayed into the night by storms across the region. They run through a growing list of surprising 4-0 teams — Rockvale, Montgomery Bell Academy, Goodpasture, Kirkwood, Nolensville, East Robertson, and first-year-coach Lawson — highlighting standout performances like MBA's Henry Perry (a Player of the Year contender doing it all as kicker, punter, and safety), Riverdale's Jaxson Porter, and Ensworth's heavily-used running back E.J. Gibson. They also spotlight Brentwood snapping Page's 17-game win streak, a much-improved Christian Brothers program, and preview marquee Week 5 matchups including Rockvale-Smyrna, East Robertson-Kirkwood, and a highly anticipated Lipscomb-Ensworth showdown between coaches Dilfer and Hasselbeck.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tate and Tom broke down a chaotic Week 3 in Tennessee high school football that turned the Midstate rankings upside down, with the Nos. 1, 3, and 4 teams all falling in the same night. The headline shocker was Smyrna's 1-point upset of powerhouse Oakland — its first loss to the rival since 2011 — extending coach Mark Williams' bizarre run of three straight one-point decisions. Battle Ground Academy looked poised to claim the top spot after throttling Pearl-Cohn behind quarterback Bo Bryan's connection with receiver Maddox Porter on several deep balls. The stat-line of the night belonged to MBA's Henry Perry, who honored his late grandfather hours after his funeral with two interceptions (including the game-sealer), four field goals, four PATs, a successful onside kick, and a 14-yard fake-punt run in a wild 40–36 win over FRA. Not far behind was Forrest's Quincy Mitchell, who racked up 334 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns on 22 carries plus a receiving score against Mount Pleasant as he closes in on 5,000 career rushing yards as just a sophomore, and Green Hill's Will Butler, who delivered 16 tackles, 159 combined yards, two touchdowns, and a game-winning two-point conversion in an upset of Ravenwood. Elsewhere around the Midstate, Riverdale continued its early bounce-back with a 38–14 win over Blackman behind quarterback Gavin Hampton, Knoxville Catholic survived a Lipscomb Academy team that just missed a state-record-tying 62-yard field goal, and Father Ryan gave McCallie a scare before falling late. Looking ahead, there's no relief for Pearl-Cohn, who close out a brutal three-game gauntlet against MBA, CPA, and BGA by hosting a vengeful Oakland squad in Week 4.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Archie is entering a new era for the character and all of Riverdale's favorites with Oni Press and Archie's new #1s. Ben H. Winters, the acclaimed novelist, takes up the main title, Archie! We spoke with him about bringing his mostly serious literary background (dark mysteries, drama television) to pure comedy for the first time, tracing his sense of pacing back to his college comedy troupe and punk band roots. He describes his Riverdale as infinitely elastic, a setting that can stretch from the diner to a mountaintop while staying instantly recognizable, and explains that his debut arc centers on a film festival specifically so he can reintroduce the whole core cast at once, each filtered through a different genre pastiche. Beneath the gags, Winters talks about weaving in a quieter thread about the anxiety of late adolescence, using a recurring Jughead's Journal backup feature to hint at an unfolding, faintly sci-fi mystery about why Riverdale never seems to change, while also pushing to diversify the town's cast to reflect a more realistic version of the world.
We wrap up the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina! Unfortunately it ends on something of a flat note. We discuss the show being canceled, the episode having to serve as a finale, the all over the place plotting, Wardwell's mismatched narration, the difference between the void and space (?), and Sabrina and Nick's conclusion. We also revisit our time with PLL and try to remember crucial plot details.We'll be back in two weeks to start Katy Keene!Episode 67 content warnings: lovecraft, witchcraft, hell, satan, death, ritual sacrifice, suicideOur amazing cover art is by Senki R and you can follow them at https://cara.app/senkireignTheme song: "Spellcraft" by Geoff HarveyGeoff Harvey - PixabayFollow us on Instagram at deadendspcast and bluesky @dead-ends.bsky.socialSend your podcast or show questions to our inbox at deadendspcast@gmail.com.Find all of Emily's links here: https://linktr.ee/emilypyleFind all of Brenton's here: https://linktr.ee/brentonpyle

Tate speaks with Franklin Admirals head football coach Josh Atkins following a successful scrimmage against Riverdale to kick off August. Coach Atkins highlights early offensive execution—specifically praise for the offensive line, a converted fourth-down 40-plus yard touchdown run by quarterback Ryder Greg, and the return of broad receiver/tight end Bronx Brusscato—while acknowledging defensive communication growth against Riverdale's speedy receivers. The discussion emphasizes the team's strong running back tandem of Joseph "JoJo" Penaya and sophomore Corey Cook, as well as unique team bonding, such as an ongoing tradition with kicker Henry Ruth, who earns a ketchup sandwich for every touchback. Looking ahead to next week's scrimmage against Rockvale and their season opener against LaVerne in 20 days, Coach Atkins stresses sharpening execution and focusing on incremental improvements to build a complete, disciplined squad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Terminal throws readers right into a chaotic, violent world. When you were building the first issue, how did you approach onboarding readers without giving too much away? The book opens with some striking and surreal imagery, especially the eye and the idea of Maculox. What was the origin of that concept, and how central is it to the larger mythology? There's a clear tension between evolution and destruction running through the story. How did you want to frame that conflict without falling into a simple good versus evil dynamic? The first issue makes some bold narrative choices in terms of expectations around who the story might follow. Without getting into spoilers, should readers expect that kind of unpredictability to be a core part of the series? Robert and Joe, how does your collaboration work on a project like this? Are you breaking story together, dividing scripts, or building off each other's strengths in a specific way? Andy, the character designs, especially on the more villainous side, feel really eclectic and distinct. What were your inspirations when developing the look of this world and its characters? There's a bit of a “hidden world” structure here, where a regular person is pulled into something much bigger. What drew you to that kind of setup, and how do you keep it feeling fresh? The series feels like it has big, long-term potential, but also a very focused central idea. Is the plan for Terminal to be a long-running series, or are you working toward a more defined endpoint? For all three of you, what was the moment in developing Terminal where you realized this was something special or different from other superhero books you've worked on or read?
