Dawson’s Creek Ruined My Life

What's the best way to get over someone do you reckon? Dawson thinks it's by going daytime clubbing with Jen's adult ex boyfriend, and we really don't think it's that, actually. Elsewhere, Joey has a crypto-pregnancy, Jen lights a lot of candles and Teen Queen Abbi Morgan enters her confused 90s feminist era. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from Capeside and decades in the future, Rachel gives...

Welcome back - quick fyi, all lighthearted allusions to MAFS in this episode were made before recent distressing events! Down in Capeside, there's a new sports car in town and this time its driven by Old Man Billy, as Jen's Big City past comes back to haunt us all, most of all Dawson. Who doesn't want an old greaser staying in their bedroom and stealing their girl? Elsewhere, Joey can't sleep, Pac...

In which Rachel tells Bryony about her recent series of burns, the young people of Capeside are given detention for acts that should actually see them stand trial in a court of law, and little Joey Potter can absolutely no longer keep her shit together. It's exactly like The Breakfast Club! Except not really!

In which we are baffled by a woman’s choice to build herself a reputation for paedophilia rather than just being a well dressed woman who looks slightly older than us. Jen and Grams have a competition to see who can be the most obnoxious inches away from the face of a woman giving birth and Dawson’s camera gets put to use in a new and inappropriate way. Content note - sorry not sorry for the use o...

Episode 5 - Welcome back! After a hiatus we're back to talk LOT about how shit James Van Der Beeks passing is, and why you should absolutely watch his whole back catalogue. Also, what the hell happens when a hurricane hits Capeside? Naturally, everyone goes absolutely batshit - We learn that Mitch is building a tiny model restaurant for some reason, no one cares if Pacey lives or dies and Grams na...

In which Dawson wishes all women could just stop being sluts and we acknowledge that we can have big issues with Dawson while simultaneously loving him forever.

In which Joey demonstrates an insufficient degree of deference to Stranger Danger, because all the ladies love a fella on a string instrument. ( Content note -we recorded this ages ago and so we talk about Lily Allen for good 20 mins. Enjoy some late 2025 nostalgia!)

Welcome to our very first outing, In which Rachel explains to Bryony just what the eff is going on in Capeside. Joey is our faveourite too-tall B word, Pacy is just a little baby, Dawson is oblivious and WHO THE HELL IS THIS MICHELLE WILLIAMS BLOW-IN FROM THE BIG CITY? Content warning : we say nonce a lot but for that please blame the weirdly permissive attitudes to grooming in 1998.

In which we reflect on the sick sad reality of Dawson’s family life and no one thinks your dad teaching you to kiss on a life-size rubber head based on your neighbour is weird.

What the hell are we talking about? A short guide to why you should include us in the background of your life. Go on.
