Welcome to New York City, where dreams are made! We watched the pilot of Katy Keene and found it to be an enjoyable, if relatively shallow good time. We discuss the sugary tone, its relation to rom coms, fashion brands and punny names, evil and jealous women, the glamorization of chasing your dreams, Katy as the pure embodiment of good, Josie’s My Fair Lady plot, and Jorge’s struggle with homophobic directors. We also discuss Pretty Little Liars The Perfectionists, They Came Together, Stella, The Devil Wears Prada, When Harry Met Sally, and You Got Mail. We’ll be watching episodes 2 and 3 next week!

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!

We made it back to the podcasting mics this week! Life is still chaos, but hopefully things start to ease up a little. We did get over into San Francisco and talk about that up top. On Sabrina this week, we get the best episode of Part 4 as the weird comes to town. We discuss the variety of red herrings, retconning Roz, Lilith’s escape to the coven, Lucas not getting mind controlled, and wonder about the limits of everyone’s powers.

Everyone gets put into peril but in a way that leaves us scratching our heads. We discuss 90% of the characters dying, Lucifer always taking losses, Dorcas getting short shrift, and the comic book escalation.

Things are really getting bad for our favorite witches, but amidst all the chaos we make time for some classic love triangles.
