Back On The Hunt - A Supernatural Podcast [will return this fall with new episodes]

Welcome Back To The Hunt - this is a stick-up!    In this episode (S2, Ep 12 - Nightshifter), we're robbing banks and once again facing off against shapeshifters (causing major problems for the brothers Winchester. We examine the way both Sam and Dean tackle this circumstance in a unique way - and are introduced to a character which we will see again, sort of.  Want to share your re...

Welcome Back To The Hunt - we've got ourselves a mystery to solve Scooby!   In this episode (S2, Ep 11 - Playthings), we're served a story that sees the return of Hoodoo to the show (which we explore a bit deeper) and perhaps some images that may make you think of the Shining. Not all is as it seems at this small Connecticut inn.  Want to share your rewatch experience with us? Send us a...

Welcome Back To The Hunt - where the Winchesters (at least one) is being literally, hunted. In this episode (S2, Ep 10- Hunted), we have both an important introduction as well as the return of one of another important figure from S2 of the show. We also break down the changed relationship between Sam and Dean after last week's cliffhanger. Also, apologies for the lack of two episodes this week. So...

Welcome Back To The Hunt. Do us a favor, can you tell us what the word there spells? C.R.O... In this episode (S2, Ep 9 - Croatoan), we're introduced not just to a disease that resurfaces in a pivotal fifth season (this is a rewatch, you can't blame us for spoilers) - but also, a twist on American lore. The boys uncover a disease, the Croatoan virus, and there is more than meets to eye happening i...

Welcome Back To The Hunt - because we've got a deal with the devil to make. In this episode (S2, Ep 8- Crossroad Blues), we have our introduction to the concept of the Crossroad Demon (and so much more). In an episode that teases the breaking of Dean's own will to live, we also get to see a fascinating story that introduces crossroad demons and mixes in the music/story of Robert Johnson - who you...

Welcome Back To The Hunt - this one feels a bit different. In this episode (S2, Ep 7 - The Usual Suspects), directed by a one-time director - and you can tell (in a good way) - we find Dean in a predicament as he's been framed for murder. We break down the pacing of an episode that feels unique to the season (and perhaps the series, to this point).  Want to share your rewatch experience with...

Welcome Back To The Hunt! There's no exit here. In this episode, we break down Season 2 (Ep. 6) "No Exit" - in which Supernatural explores a real-life serial killer.

Welcome Back To The Hunt! In this episode, we break down Season 2 (Ep. 5) "Simon Said" - an episode that returns to the early mythology of the "special children".

Welcome Back To The Hunt. As a friendly reminder Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. In this episode, outside of breaking down the fact that this title misses the point of much of the episode - we break down a bit of the zombie lore in Supernatural. We also discuss the bookends of this episode - as they are important for the ongoing plot of S2 (and beyond). Want to share your rewatch experie...

Welcome Back To The Hunt - and there will be blood(lust) In this episode (Bloodlust) ONCE AGAIN introduces an important character to the early lore of Supernatural (Gordon Walker).  This episode also showcases some important character development for Dean Winchester as his conversations with (Walker) reveal much about what's going on in Dean's mind at this point in Season 3.  Want to sha...

Welcome Back to the Hunt as Chris and Dan return to kick-off Season 2. After a cliff-hanger of a season one finale, the boys are back and in the hospital wherein Dean finds himself facing off against a reaper for his very life. The choice may be up to him, but as the title of the episode (In My Time of Dying) foreshadows, we deal with a major loss in this episode (again, since, ya know - it's a re...

Welcome Back To The Hunt - because everyone (except Chris) loves a clown. In an episode (Everybody Loves A Clown) that introduces some beloved characters and a particularly meaningful location, we also learn about Sam's fear of clowns - in a plot that...works? Kind of? We also break down some of the reasoning behind the introduction of the roadhouse and why it did (or didn't) work well.  Want...

Welcome Back to the Hunt as we take a look back at our first season with the Winchester brothers. With Season 1 in the books, Chris and Dan break down the major events of the first season and dig deeper into their favorite moments. We also take a look at some of the results of a season's worth of Reddit polls to get a gauge on the SPN family's thoughts on Season 1 (and the show itself). Season 2 w...

Welcome Back to the Hunt as we reach the finale of Season 1! The Winchester Men versus the Yellow-eyed Demon. This is what we've been building up to. Chris and Dan breakdown the fight - and not to be understated - the exciting introduction of arguably one of the most important characters in the show's history (Bobby Singer as played by Jim Beaver). We break down the lessons the boys have learned i...

Welcome BACK to the Hunt as we experience SALVATION once again. We're one episode away from the season one finale as Dan and Chris break down (S1) episode 21, "Salvation". This penultimate episode of the show's first series sees the boys teaming up with their father to try and take on the yellow-eyed demon. Dad and the boys make a great team - and we explore their relationship a bit more in this o...

Welcome BACK to the Hunt and get ready to taste blood, Dead Man's Blood. Not literally, of course, but on this week's episode, Chris and Dan explore the episode (S1, Ep. 20) that introduces vampires to Supernatural, aptly titled Dead Man's Blood. We also meet perhaps the most important weapon in the show's lore, the Cult. Also, we recognize one year since the show went off the air. Like what you h...

Welcome BACK to the Hunt and find out what art isn't always what it seems to be. In this week's episode, we break down an episode that includes a character we wish we saw more of - in the nineteenth episode of Season 1, "Provenance". A basic plot with a nice twist gives us a solid episode with almost everything you'd want in a Supernatural episode - or so says Dan at least. We also explore the rel...

Welcome BACK to the Hunt and discover SOMETHING WICKED with us.  In this week's episode, we break down an episode that shows us a bit of Sam and Dean's history - revisiting a (or so we're led to assume) monster from Dean's past. Revisit "Something Wicked", the 18th episode from Season 1 with Dan and Chris as we go back on the hunt.  Like what you heard? Like and Subscribe to catch every...

Welcome BACK to the Hunt and take a trip with us to the Hell House (but we may have a few pranks for you along the way).  In this week's episode, Chris and Dan discuss an episode (S1, Ep 17 - Hell House) that explores a new type of monster - one which involves a dangerous thing - the human imagination. It's also the (exciting for us) introduction of some fan-favorite characters.  Like wh...

Welcome BACK to the Hunt and Haaaappppppp Halloween from Chris and Dan! In this week's episode, we go into the SHADOWs to see the return of both Meg and *gasp* John - in a rewatch of Season 1's sixteenth episode, Shadow. With some hints of the future (and a monster that may inspire hell hounds in the future) - this episode is packed full of great moments, so it's a bit bigger for good reason.&nbsp...

Welcome BACK to the Hunt. It's good to remember that monsters aren't just Supernatural.  In this week's episode, Chris and Dan break down a very HUMAN story. This isn't Squid Game but it sure felt like it at times - as Sam and Dean deal with a monster of a family.  Like what you heard?

Welcome BACK to the Hunt. You're not dreaming, we're more than halfway through the first season of the rewatch.  In this week's episode, Chris and Dan break down a dark episode that was, admittedly, difficult at times to watch. Even so, Nightmare (S1, Ep. 14) is a pivotal episode for Supernatural and we discuss some of the most important moments for Sam and Dean as it relates to the greater S...

Welcome BACK to the Hunt! On this week's episode, Chris (with a secondary mic he didn't realize he was recording on, oops) and Dan discuss episode 13 of Season 1 (Route 666). In addition to an evil truck terrorizing a community, we also break down a relationship that Supernatural never revisits - but gives deep insights into the character of Dean Winchester.  Like what you heard?

Welcome BACK to the Hunt. Sometimes all you need is a little FAITH.  In this week's episode, Chris and Dan break down more than a few Supernatural firsts that occur in (s1ep12) Faith.

Welcome BACK to the Hunt. All isn't well with Sam and Dean - but we're here to walk you through it all.  In this week's episode, Chris and Dan discuss the first time Sam and Dean go different directions - and break down the introduction of an important new character.
