Veronica could be a vampire

When you live in darkness, you can be a vampire and drink milk. I have been waiting for the last season to develop Afterlife of Archie and bring Sabrina back. But, there is also Vampironica. And The Hunger with Jughead. The two paths, wholesome and horror could diverge there. It would be super cool. Not sure if they will do it. I wish someone would care about Ethel. Or Toni. The season started so serious with the Till and now I feel it’s going for camp and it’s confusing. I enjoy your podcast with your opinions about it all. I like the theme and Justin’s opening lines, which I often parody to people who have no idea what I am referencing.

PLEASE dump Pete!

I don’t know if Pete is doing a bit or if he’s really as needlessly aggro as he seems on the show, but he is really dragging down the other two hosts. Way too abrasive and hostile for no reason; he seems to take dissenting opinions as personal attacks which is an absolutely insane approach for an adult man. Alex & Justin are fantastic and I really think you both would have a wider reach without Pete. I want to keep listening, but I think if I hear “all day errrrrrrr day” one more time I’ll lose my mind.

After Dark

So great! Each person brings the podcast together and makes it a delight. Better than drinking maple rum at a speak easy under the milkshake shop in high school while the vixens dance on the roof. The joy the hosts have as they retell and discuss the crazy truly crazy happenings in Riverdale- is great. It’s great,5 stars, 10/10, bravo!

Needs to be said. You needs all three of the hosts. They are fantastic together. When one is missing you feel it. Pete is great. Alex is great. Justin is great. Together they are - chefs kiss
