Ep. 6: In A Lonely Place One Offs

Just in time for the new season of Riverdale that starts on Wednesday, this week’s One Off goes back to Season 1, Episode 7, ‘In A Lonely Place’. Listen along as Steve and Dave share uninformed opinions about popular teen dramas from the 00s. Also of note: nobody uses the term “on fleek”.

According to Netflix’s summary, this week’s episode is as follows: “Amid harsh rumors about Polly, Alice goes public with family secrets, making Betty and Cheryl uneasy allies. Jughead helps his dad reclaim his life.”


‘In A Lonely Place’ is available on Netflix and iTunes.
As usual, Dave and Steve avoid recapping/deconstructing the episode, but if that’s your thing, Mikey Neumann and Jon Risinger’s Cry Me A Riverdale might be your jam.
Does anyone else think the Riverdale theme song reminds them of Friday Night Lights?
Steve appalled that people like things that he doesn’t like.
As usual, your hosts have their finger on the pulse with their discussion of milk caps.
Dave, as it turns out, is either remembering his bubble gum comic history correctly or has stumbled onto a delightful coincidence.
“It’s not real life… It’s high school.”
Do your research, guys: The O.C. was on Fox and Riverdale is on the CW; Warner Bros. is the one of the production companies for both.
Steve seems like more of a Dawson’s Creek kind of guy.
If you were thinking about catching the Scream movies any time soon, you might want to skip this episode because Dave and Steve spoil the first one. Granted, it’s a spoiler that is old enough to vote in Singapore.
Dave and Steve are old men yelling at clouds.
Endings. How do they work?
