    Chapter Eighty-Two: Back to School

    Maya and Luke have returned to discuss what happens when unqualified kids in their 20s return to their privatized high school as teachers...and it's a whole lot of strange decisions. I mean, Archie's wearing a sweatshirt that looks like it says "ERROTIC," Veronica's husband is awkardly sitting in on class, Jughead is *still* a grumpy writer, and Betty is going full-steam with the latest potential murder in Riverdale—her sister's. Lot's to discuss & lots to think about.

    Before and After the Time Jump (Riverdale S02:E03/04)

    Maya and Luke are back, here to break down the two latests episodes of Riverdale - before and after the time jump.

So, of course, there's a lot to talk about.

    Riverdale S05:E02 & Golden Globe Nomination Reactions

    This week we have a lot to cover. We begin with our reactions to the Golden Globe nominations announcements (03:12), we give our thoughts on Bughead stans being voted the second-worst group on Twitter (29:30), and then it's time to jump into S05:E02 of Riverdale (31:00). Archie is beating things up (AGAIN!), Cheryl is Zooming/poisoning her family members, Veronica is plotting for a hostile takeover of Lodge industries, and Betty and Jughead are doing what they do best—finally getting to the bottom of a mystery...or do they?

    Barchie vs. Bughead...Season 5 Riverdale Premiere

    Over the past two weeks, tensions in the Riverdale fandom have been rising over the everlasting question: Which ship is endgame, Barchie or Bughead? Hosts Maya and Luke defend themselves after their Twitter controversy, talk about the unknown fan pretending to be Lili Reinhart in an interview with Seventeen, and then dive into the season premiere of Season 5. Maybe we've been so distracting discussing Archie's love life, that we've missed the newest ship...Kaonica!

    Chapter Sixteen: The Watcher in the Woods

    The hosts return to discuss S02:E03 of Riverdale, now deep into the frustrations that this second season has to offer. Of course, Archie is being stupid—but now he is being fueled by a new friendship with Hiram Lodge (which is NEVER good). Meanwhile, Jughead is off at his new school, learning things about Jingle Jangle, the new drug in town, the Black Hood has finally been given a name, Polly is out of the picture, Cheryl clearly has nothing to do, and Kevin is finally given the justice his character deserves—well, kinda.
