Hi! It's been a little while since the last episode of the podcast and I really miss you rambling on about the show lol. Are there new episodes coming any time soon? Sorry if you have answered this somewhere previously and I've missed it, I just hope to hear you guys again soon! :) and obvs no pressure, hope you have a lovely week!

hey! it has been a little while, I know we sort of dropped off the radar a bit there, sorry about that <3

We sort of knew this last half of the year was going to be a bit of a shitshow (lots of external factors all culminating at the same time, when it rains it pours y'know?) and we were hoping to keep releasing on a reduced schedule, but unfortunately it really does take a solid 8 to 12 hours minimum to create each episode and trying to keep up with that on top of everything else has become a bit impossible :(

We are still recording! slowly but surely haha (we're up to 7x06) and will hopefully get right back into the swing of things towards the end of this year :)

long story short, we will be back! we're just not 100% sure on an exact date (but rest assured, I'm sure Jamie will have some fresh memes prepped for our return announcement haha)

thanks for your patience! glad you enjoy the show <3

Beth :)

PS. I love your url haha, the dnp renaissance is strong!

planning a Stanford-era headcanon DPTP episode (with @supernaturalopinionspodcast) where we talk about what both Sam and Dean could have been up to during those years ....

reply/reblog this post with headcanons and we'll credit you in the ep!

I REALLY NEED THE PORKY'S META I HAVE THOUGHTS SEND HELP

ME TOO OH MY GOD (it really sends the brainworms into overdrive), Jamie and I debated watching it to do a bonus episode specifically talking about Dean and the way his pop culture preferences and references contribute SO much to the queer coding of his character - we might get around to it eventually haha

I've linked the post I referenced in the ep here:

I went to copy in another but when I got to the notes I saw that you'd already beat me to it! let me know if you find any others!! :)

10000000000% this hahaha, I'm pretty sure I've sent that tiktok accompanied by the side eyes emoji in reference to this exact scenario

Episode 93: Sam, Interrupted

This week the girls start off talking about things from four episodes ago but quickly course correct into a full dissection of ‘Sam, Interrupted’. Hot takes this week as Beth suggests Sam should be allowed to “be a bit pissy”. Jamie gets a chance to flex her uni debt as the girls psychoanalyse Andrew Dabb based on his psychoanalysis of Dean, through Dean’s psychoanalysis of himself (via an imaginary psychiatrist) and try to decide if Dabb did something interesting on purpose or entirely accidentally, mental gymnastics ensue. Also featuring Google reviews for The Rehab Dungeon.

Jamie should look up the prayer to Saint Michael. I'm just gonna say that I think it is very fascinating that the name Michael just keeps showing up in searches about archangels because Michael has some very specific mythology in Christianity.

thanks for the suggestion! I've let her know :) we're coming up to the mid point of s5 in our recording schedule now so that might be something we visit some time during the second half (as we get closer to the crux of the plot)

[driverpicksthepodcast]

im binging y’all’s podcast right now (on s4), and Beth: your poker face must be ELITE, like MULTIPLE times I have clapped a hand over my mouth or stood up abruptly in the middle of a lunch area, from Jaime’s predictions. The guessing Lucifer/Michael vessels, guessing Gabriel, GUESSING ADAM’S EXISTENCE?! I screamed, like I fully CANNOT.

hey! honestly I am CONSTANTLY on guard lmao, I think in 1x03 she made the first joke about "how buff is Sam actually?" and my brain went "oh no! demon blood!" and I think you can hear in the episode I like immediately derail the conversation into something else because I was panicking haha - from then on I've been much more vigilant about my reactions, really it was lucky we had that moment so early on!

[driverpicksthepodcast]

i’ve only listened to the episode on the pilot so far but may i say, jamie is so real for all of her critiques on the writing and directing. and beth you are so right on about the weird homophobic/emasculating gags giving dean a certain queer flavor. anyway, i was dreading sifting through the many supernatural podcasts out there, so i am very glad to have found yours!

hey!

so glad to hear you're enjoying the pod! (if you like Jamie's criticisms & my queer interpretations then I promise there is plenty more where that came from haha)

I totally feel you! there are soooo many spn pods it can be a bit daunting trying to figure out where to start, luckily a lot of us interact with and appear as guests on each others shows so if you find one you like then you're bound to find others!

Beth :)

I wonder if the brainworms will finally get Jamie once Meg and Cas enter the horny pizzaman phase. (How is that even a sentence that makes sense in this fandom?!)

lmao, to quote Jamie: "sometimes you say words, and I just have to live with them" - this is the spn fandom experience hahaha

the further we get into the series (and the more blorbos she collects) the greater the chances of the brain worms sneaking up on her for sure haha

Episode 94: Swap Meat

Season two called and it wants its plot back! The girls are here to discuss the classic supernatural metronome of an episode that is ‘Swap Meat’, from the highs of a banana daiquiri to the lows of consent issues, Julie Siege brings us a wildly weird media experience. Featuring the return of Ms Chancey the potentially fictional babysitter, the ghost of John Winchester’s shitty parenting, and the girls saying they’ll start talking about one thing before immediately talking about the exact opposite thing.

RIP to Jamie's favourite joke! I'll miss it. 😂

*moment of silence* gone but not forgotten :'(

[deanwasalwaysbi]

Where's @driverpicksthepodcast ? I need to talk to somebody 😂

Spn tumblr: Could you spend significant time with someone who doesn't know about the confession, and doesn't want any spoilers, bc they might finish the series eventually... and keep your mouth shut?

[driverpicksthepodcast]

I'm listening to ep 66 rn, and I didn't realize that this ep was a dabb ep. But I'm fascinated bc dabb's like Whole Thing is that Dean Is An Avatar for Toxic Masculinity, and like. Wow. His first episode and he had already picked that as his take.

it's been absolutely Wild(tm) but I am SO glad that I decided to point out when eps were written by current / future show runners because some of the themes and characterisation choices have been fascinating to track so far! You're still a little ways away but we really dive into Dabb and his characterisation of Dean in ep 73

[driverpicksthepodcast]

I'm just listening to the current episode (77) and can't stop laughing. I know you're recording these episodes far in advance, but can I request another live reaction for 5x08? I am so looking forward to Jamie losing her mind.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I had a blast recording & editing that one haha

Absolutely we can do another live reaction! We weren't sure if people would like it but seeing as 4x16 worked out well we're keen to do some more :)

5x08 is absolutely on the list for live reactions! (I am also looking forward to Jamie losing her mind hahaha) feel free to let us know if you have any other episode suggestions! (for context, we're recording 5x03 tomorrow) :)
