The Doghouse: A Riverdale Podcast

SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED THIS EPISODE. Incest. Murderers getting caught. Multiple scenes of Archie being disappointed when he's not getting to have sex with Veronica. Everything we've predicted is coming to a head this episode, and it's a wild ride. Plus: Fred Andrews screws up big-time; Archie and the Scooby gang see a dead body!; "It's weird." "What does Betty think." "She thinks it's weird."; Sh...

There's so much going on in this episode that Mac & Maud are both feeling stretched as thin as Betty working to uncover Jason's killer and plan homecoming. It doesn't help that her mom keeps trying to sabotage her relationship and running covert ops on the Jones family. But just like Betty, we're not afraid to play dirty and call anyone's bluff. Get 'em, Betty Cooper. Meanwhile: Kevin Keller J...

SERIOUSLY?! DARK BETTY?! It's like we're writing this show as we're watching it. We had no idea this was coming, just like Betty and Veronica weren't ready for Chuck to show back up at school. But we're more than happy to see Dark Betty back at it again. At least, until Jughead gets caught in the crosshairs. Still, we're down to party, especially if Archie's getting his drunk on. I mean, even when...

Maple syrup is a big flipping deal in Riverdale. Especially if you're part of the Blossom family. It's such a big deal that an entire red-headed cult is at the Blossom family orchards to discuss the future of the family business. And they might just be recruiting another red-headed upstanding citizen of Riverdale. It's a shame he's too dumb to realize going with them is a BAD idea. In the meantime...

Life is often about choices. Should I get revenge on people trashing my dad's work? Or coordinate an awkward baby shower? Serpents or Blossoms? Who should take care of my newborn: my crazy mom and (possibly) crazy sister or the insane in-laws in the creepy mansion? These are the questions Mac & Maud answer for you in this podcast. Plus: the introduction of Redshirt Friendofmoose; JOAQUIN NO!!!...

Um, you guys? Can we just adopt Jughead? Like, nobody should be living under a stairway at their school. More importantly, no one should have to endure the heartbreak Juggy does every day having to watch his dad ride the line between loving Jughead and loving his liquor. Thankfully, he's got his best girl Betty, his best bud Archie, and his complicated issues with Fred to help him out, even when t...

OK, like, we swear Mac & Maud don't watch ahead on this show. So we'll never know just how Maud figured out how Polly's freakin' pregnant. Then again, it probably wasn't too shocking. Still, Mac & Maud are now ready to snoop on Sleuthster just like Betty & Jughead. And maybe have a "moment." (SQUEE!) Oh, and Archie has this whole music thing he's trying to do, blah, blah. Guess that's...

Maud called her shot after episode 1 and looks like a genius now that Hal Cooper is a prime suspect in Jason Blossom's murder. Still, that revelation isn't as terrifying as the emotional abuse Cheryl's parents are willing to inflict on her. In the meantime, Archie gets a montage AND a shirtless boxing scene, Cheryl and Veronica have a very porny pajama party, and Luke Perry remains our delightfull...

Jughead tugged hard on Mac & Maud's heartstrings this week, but it wasn't remotely as emotionally satisfying as watching Geraldine "Hot for Teacher" Grundy get banished from the show (and, Lord willing, our memories). Grab some popcorn from concessions as we celebrate Kevin Keller's new boyfriend, watch Alice Cooper interrupt some adultery, and wonder why Betty would ever think it's a good ide...

Everyone's a suspect in Jason's murder, but while Betty's tracking down leads, there's a bigger story to investigate: slut-shaming. Mac and Maud are all in on Betty's quest for justice...at least, until she transforms into Dark Betty. Meanwhile, Cheryl gets a ton of great one-liners, Archie's completely incapable of sneaking out of his house, and BARB LIVES!!!You can email us with feedback at maci...

Jason Blossom got shot? WTF?Things are escalating quickly in Riverdale, particularly how much of Archie's ripped abs we're getting to see. Still, Mac and Maud don't get too distracted and manage to recap the recap, explain why big glasses don't make a hot teacher any less hot, fall in love with Jughead Jones all over again, and keep score of who's got the best jokes: Kevin Keller or Cheryl Blossom...

It's a busy night at Macintosh & Maud's Chocolate Shoppe, because we're talking the CW's Riverdale. Jughead weaves a web of mystery, "Archie got HOT", Luke Perry is our new dad, and Kevin Keller is our spirit guide. We're on the hunt for ginger puns, Twin Peaks parallels, and maybe the ickiest teacher-student relationship ever committed to film. It's gonna be a wild ride. You can get email us...
