In 2005, Sam and Dean Winchester set off on a road trip that would save the world and change television. For fifteen seasons and three hundred and twenty-seven episodes, the CW’s Supernatural (created by Eric Kripke) took audiences on a wild ride of family, fate, and faith with a rocking soundtrack and a seriously cool car. But that was then, and now … it’s time for another ride. Join hosts Rob Be... more

    Season 9 starts off with a lot to cover. With the angels falling, it opens up another world to explore. The writers must have had fun deciding if the angels would do good or be bad. Great interviews with Alaina & Misha & Tahmoh. Luv hearing their stories. 😊

  • You learn and you laugh.

    I’m loving all the details. They’re making our rewatch even better. Being insiders and first time viewers is a great combination. And you can’t beat the Rich and Rob vibe (recommended for your post–con blues).

  • Fun facts and interesting interviews

    I’m catching up on this podcast and have started season four now. It’s clear the hosts are good friends and their giggles are contagious. There’s something wrong with Rich but in a fun way. Rob seems to be allergic to punctuation. I’ve been surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed learning about things like hair and makeup and timing shots around the weather. The guests have all been fun and interesting. I look forward to all the rest of the seasons reviewed.

    For so many years I’ve watched Cutis Armstrong in movies and tv. What a wonderful character actor he is. I have to admit I found Metatron very annoying, but that’s because Curtis is so good at what he does! I’m looking forward to more interviews with him. Thanks 😊

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Replay: Spotlight on Eric Kripke
Q: What was the most important lesson you learned as a showrunner that you apply to future projects?
Make quick, decisive calls to keep the machine moving, even if the decision might not be perfect, and always stay true to the creator's and show's voice while allowing room for others to shape the ongoing story.
Captives with Jerry Wanek (S9EP14)
Q: What was the biggest directorial challenge for this episode?
Jerry Wanek explains that coordinating multiple sequences—from the heavenly set to the claustrophobic storage/veil environments—while maintaining a coherent visual language and pacing was demanding, especially given the schedule pressures and on-set illnesses; yet the collaborative team delivered a narrative that prioritized story and mood over conventional coverage.
The Purge with Phil Sgriccia (S9EP13)
Q: What was the process behind Briana Buckmaster's casting and performance in this episode?
Briana impressed the team with her theater background and natural timing; her debut was pivotal, and her performance in the spa and donut scenes helped anchor the episode's balance of warmth and menace.
The Purge with Phil Sgriccia (S9EP13)
Q: Did you know Phil directed this episode when you started it?
Rob and Rich did not know until they saw Phil Sgriccia's name on the episode; they immediately recognized his strong visual style and later praised his open approach to improv and the episode's humor.
The Purge with Phil Sgriccia (S9EP13)
Q: For those not familiar with the sport of competitive eating, what is chipmucking?
Chipmucking is where you place food in your cheeks without actually chewing or swallowing immediately, hiding it in your jowls, which is illegal in formal competition and discussed here as a playful detail tied to the episode's world-building.
