  1. The Spear

    The Spear

    Angels, Werewolves, and Holiday MayhemWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Hosts Nate McWhortor and Krissy Lenz tackle Supernatural Season 14, Episode 9, "The Spear" — a mid-season finale packed with mythology, returning characters, and enough traumatic head injuries to make your own head spin. This holiday-adjacent episode sees Michael (in a new vessel) recruiting monsters for a sinister plan while the Winchesters scramble to stop him with the help of an unlikely ally: retired hunter-turned-dentist Garth.Nate and Krissy dissect Michael's elaborate trap, which involves archangel grace cocktails, a mysterious egg, Dark World Kaia's spear, and enough espionage attempts to make James Bond cringe. They marvel at Garth's well-meaning but catastrophically bad undercover work, debate the tonal whiplash of mixing Seinfeld-esque comedy music with apocalyptic stakes, and celebrate Jensen Ackles' masterful performance as Michael. The episode culminates in a devastating twist that leaves Dean trapped and the spear destroyed — and the hosts immediately spoil the next episode's incredible hook because they couldn't help themselves.The drinking game features rules for Michael Eyes (the hero rule), traumatic head injuries, decapitations (aka "the full Ichabod"), and various holiday references. While the game lands at a respectable three out of five spears due to several one-off rules, the hosts disagree on their final counts — Krissy catches 11 instances of Michael Eyes to Nate's eight, proving once again that this rule requires serious attention. Special highlights include Cass saying "cookie-tacular" and Dean's festive "Merry frickin' Christmas."Additional Highlights:Garth's thumbs-up moment deserves its own gif libraryThe recycling plant exterior shot was criminally underutilized for how cool it lookedDark World Kaia's motivation remains frustratingly vague, but her spear gets a moment to shine (before being snapped in half)Exciting announcement: The podcast's first-ever guest, Mandy Kaplan from Make Me a Nerd, will join for Season 6, Episode 5, "Live Free or Twihard"Bonus content explores favorite spin-offs — both successful and failed — inspired by this backdoor pilot-adjacent episodeNate and Krissy agree that Supernatural’s "The Spear" delivers as a mythology-heavy mid-season finale, even if the tone occasionally veers into confusing territory. Jensen Ackles' portrayal of Michael remains a series highlight, and that final twist stings exactly as intended. The episode earns three out of five spears for its drinking game potential, but five out of five for emotional devastation.Connect with Gank That Drank:Learn more about the show and the TruStory FM network at trustory.fm.

There’s also plenty of love for the tonal whiplash that makes “Bad Day at Black Rock” a standout: horror one minute, physical comedy the next.The hosts break down how the drinking game rules play out—especially the heroic “luck/lucky” rule and the fan-favorite “I lost my shoe” moment.

This fan-favorite episode features the dynamic duo of Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) and Sheriff Donna Hanscum (Briana Buckmaster) teaming up at a sheriff's retreat in Hibbing, Minnesota, where things quickly go from dull seminars to deadly vampires.Nate and Krissy break down the awkward first meeting between the no-nonsense Jody and the cheerfully persistent Donna, whose clashing personalities create both tension and comedic gold. They discuss Donna's terrible ex-husband Doug (who earns multiple "Doug is a douche" drinks), the boys' lighter role in this episode, and that satisfying moment when Donna finally gets to decapitate a vampire. The hosts celebrate this as a true "Wayward Sisters" origin story, showcasing two of their favorite recurring characters in an episode that works perfectly as a standalone adventure—no extensive Supernatural knowledge required.The drinking game rules kept things lively with standout categories like "Donnaisms" (14 drinks!), sheriff mentions (a whopping 29 times!), and decapitations (3 total).

  4. Hollywood Babylon

    Hollywood Babylon

    Hollywood Babylon: Ghosts, Meta Jokes, and Die Hard ReferencesWelcome 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 2, Episode 18, "Hollywood Babylon"—a meta-filled romp through a haunted movie set where Dean Winchester discovers his natural calling as a production assistant. This episode originally aired April 19, 2007, and remains one of Nate's most-watched favorites for good reason.When a horror film production on Stage 9 becomes plagued by actual supernatural deaths, Sam and Dean go undercover to investigate. What follows is a love letter to bad horror movies, industry in-jokes, and the show's willingness to poke fun at itself. From Gilmore Girls references (complete with a close-up of Jared Padalecki) to jokes about filming in Vancouver, this episode established Supernatural's self-aware tone early in its 15-year run. Dean flirts with scream queen Tara Benchley, discovers a disgruntled screenwriter is using real summoning rituals, and delivers an iconic Die Hard reference—"Come out to the coast, we'll have a few laughs"—that earns a drink multiplier in the game.The drinking game rules included taking a drink for screams, "son of a bitch" utterances, ghost appearances, Dean eating or flirting, and death scenes. The real challenge? Keeping track of all those screams. Krissy counted four; Nate estimated ten. Both hosts agreed the ghost appearances and screams carried the game, though some rules only triggered once or twice. The episode's highlight remains its commentary on Hollywood's creative process—a bitter writer uses occult knowledge to make ghosts murder for him after executives ruin his script. As Sam points out, "You find out there's an afterlife and this is what you do with it?"Additional Highlights:The boys never explain how Sam's 2007 camera phone can see ghosts (and never use this trick again)Don Stark (Bob from That '70s Show) plays the ill-fated producer who meets his end via industrial fanDean's genuine enthusiasm for terrible horror movies and celebrity spotting shows his softer sideThe episode features an Enochian summoning ritual—yet the show still pretends angels aren't realKrissy rated the drinking game 2 out of 5 mini Philly cheesesteaks; Nate gave it 4 out of 5Krissy and Nate celebrate how "Hollywood Babylon" set the template for Supernatural's meta episodes throughout its entire run—from "The French Mistake" to "Scooby Natural" to "Fan Fiction." The willingness to not take itself too seriously became the show's secret weapon, separating it from procedural dramas and making it endearing for 15 seasons. Next up: Season 10, Episode 13, "Hibbing 911," featuring Sheriff Jody Mills with rules including drinking whenever someone says "sheriff" (good luck with that one).Want more Gank That Drank?

    Weekend at Bobby’s

    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.

They analyze the Tulpa mythology, debate the questionable police work throughout the episode, and can't stop laughing about Dean's untouched broccoli. The hosts also dive into the escalating prank war between Sam and Dean—from harmless Spanish music surprises to dead fish in backseats—while wondering how Craig's girlfriend survived that hanging stunt. With their custom drinking game rules in full effect (including drinks for every "Mordecai," EMF usage, and Ghostbusters reference), this episode earns a perfect five rod-iron bullets rating.Episode Highlights:The introduction of Ed Zedmore and Harry Spangler, whose nerdy enthusiasm and questionable credentials make them instant classicsDean's unsafe driving habits strike again with his spoon-in-mouth photo prank on a sleeping SamCraig's elaborate haunted house hoax that accidentally manifests a real murderous ghostWhy burning down the Hell House actually makes perfect sense (mostly)Preview of next episode: Season 6, Episode 4, "Weekend at Bobby's"—as close as Supernatural gets to a bottle episodeLooking back at "Hell House" from 2006, the hosts celebrate how this episode perfectly balances humor with horror while establishing character dynamics that would define the series.

    Sharp Teeth

    Werewolves, Wisconsin Beer, and Winchester Brothers DramaWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor sink their teeth into Supernatural Season 9, Episode 12 "Sharp Teeth" while sipping on Ruby Red Grapefruit White Claw and Wisconsin's Fat Squirrel brown ale. When Garth goes missing and turns up as roadkill in Wisconsin, the Winchester brothers discover their favorite hunter has joined a pack of "good" werewolves—or as they prefer to be called, lycanthropes.Can Monsters Be Good?This episode tackles one of Supernatural's most compelling questions: can monsters coexist peacefully with humans? While Dean remains skeptical of Garth's new werewolf family and their raw meat dinner parties, Sam takes a more measured approach. The hosts dive deep into the parallels between monster prejudice and real-world discrimination, noting the episode's uncomfortable echoes of eugenics when the villainous step-mother reveals her "purebred" supremacist agenda. Meanwhile, the Winchester brothers' relationship hits another rough patch as they struggle with the aftermath of Gadreel's possession and Dean's new Mark of Cain.The drinking game rules kept things lively with slaps (3-5 depending on who's counting), biblical references, Garthisms, and multiple shouts of "Ragnarok!" The hosts particularly enjoyed the awkward family dinner scene where Dean sits stone-faced while werewolves tear into raw hearts with their bare hands—yet somehow still bake normal pie for dessert.Additional Highlights:DJ Qualls delivers another memorable performance as the beloved hunter-turned-lycanthropeWisconsin setting allows for perfect Fat Squirrel beer pairingClassic "bringing in the sheeps" church hymn gets stuck in your headDean's lightning-fast knife throw showcases his Mark of Cain enhanced abilitiesThe only Winchester hug goes to Garth, not Sam (emotional damage: severe)Both hosts awarded "Sharp Teeth" four stars, praising its exploration of moral ambiguity while acknowledging some pacing issues. The episode successfully balances monster-of-the-week storytelling with ongoing mythology, though viewers might find themselves craving more Garth screentime and fewer Winchester brother therapy sessions.Ready for More Supernatural Drinking Games?Join Krissy and Nate for early, ad-free episodes and bonus content by becoming a member at trustory.fm/join.

    Regarding Dean

    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.
