Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Transphobia, violence, witchcraft, Satanism, demagoguery, religious dogma, misogyny and sexism. Demons are gross, y'all. It makes sense, what with the being condemned to hell and all. Still, the worm demon possessing Susie's uncle Jesse is kind of the worst, and he's got enough power to potentially possess Sabrina. Which is NOT COOL. Meanwhile, S...

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Violence, witchcraft, Satanism, trials, demagoguery, religious dogma, false accusations, misogyny and sexism. It's interesting to have a button episode this early in a show's run. Especially after we've spent four episodes throwing all sorts of craziness against the wall. And yet somehow, this might just be the best episode of this show so far. W...

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon MAJOR CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains a discussion of a scene in which several characters use blatant homophobia to respond to misogyny and transphobia from fellow classmates. It's incredibly wrong, and though we point it out, we understand some listeners may want to skip this episode or moment altogether. Episode also includes references to Satanism, demo...

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CW: Discussions of racism, violence, sexism. In preparation for the new Netflix series, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, we read all 8 issues of the comic it's based on. There's some interesting ideas floating around, but between some seriously problematic writing and just ugly artwork, we're not real excited about the comic itself. Still, there's not enough h...
