Customer Reviews
Carry On
I'm honestly struggling to write this succinctly enough for an iTunes review, so please, understand that I could address every single minute of the episode after the finale, but I just wanted to let you know that the moment at about minute 48, when you mention people who are struggling, and don't even really understand why they're struggling, because they're still in the feelings mode, and can't articulate it....I feel like I let out this huge exhale when I heard that. It's interesting/anxiety-provoking to have such huge feelings and not feel like you've been really heard, because you don't have the tools or feel comfortable enough with peers to really get into it. Even now, I'm having trouble processing the 1. utter wrongness of that episode, 2. my personal emotions over it, and 3. the absolute whirlwind that has been fandom since episode 18. I'm exhausted and I guess it was just so great to hear that we aren't all victims of some mass hallucination. Please take care of yourselves. You are doing a great, and important service to this fandom.
Just great
I love the brilliant character insight & great literary critique of this show. Their love of all aspects of SPN is apparent & a joy to spend time listening to. They so have such revelatory & smart convos that incorporate all 14+ years of SPN. I just wanna say thanks for all their thoughtful work on this.
Best podcast ever
I love this podcast. The knowledge and love for Supernatural is so evident in how Catherine and Chrisha discuss the episodes. They dive in to the characters. They keep me thinking about different points of views to these characters that I love. They also make me laugh, then cry, then laugh again!! Thank you. Also I love the final minutes of each episodes. Outtakes are my favorite.
