Episode 09: What Does Sara Want?

This week, two not-religious people take on an episode about faith, miracles, and death, in which Sam presents a theme that we'll definitely be seeing again - "I won't let you die. Period." We hope you enjoy our coverage of 1x12.

Episode 08: It's Very [Spooky Ghost Noises]

This week, we're covering two halves of a Sam plot in one episode with Asylum and Scarecrow. We'd never noticed before how well these two fit together but we hope you enjoy our analysis (are we allowed to use that term? xD) of two really great episodes.

Episode 06 | Like A Bunch of Creepers

This week we're covering Bugs, an episode with a bit of a reputation in the fandom but we're pretty sure that's mostly because no one likes, you know, the bugs and not because it's actually an awful episode. We get our first real look at Sam's feelings about his upbringing in this one and you know how we feel about Sam!

Episode 05 | Sam "Glass Jaw" Winchester

This week we're talking shifter goo, why hooks are a surprisingly good prosthetic, and clearing out your email inbox more than once a decade, as we discuss 1x06, Skin, and 1x07, Hookman. These are two excellent "monster of the week" episodes we thoroughly enjoyed and hope you like, too!

Episode 03 | Sulfur in Snack Bags

This week is our first combo episode! In it, we're covering season 1, episodes 3 and 4, "Dead in the Water" and "Phantom Traveler". These aren't really Sam-heavy episodes but they're still really good and we had a lot of fun with them.
