A Journey into the Good, the Bad, and the Weird in Riverdale

After THOUSANDS OF YEARS, we return to drag our ancient carcasses toward the finish line of Season 2. Political machinations (do they count as machinations when they're really dumb?) are coming to a head, while at the same time we do some incredibly clumsy 11th-hour nonsense to try to make the Black Hood plot interesting again.
Maybe this episode isn't "Lost Weekend" bad, but it would have been a chore to get through without the healing ritual of recording this podcast at the end.

Hold onto your butts, the actual plot of the TV show Riverdale has come back, after what really has amounted to NINE EPISODES OF FILLER, and, I cannot stress this enough, DURING A NETWORK TV SHOW WITH RATINGS ABOVE THREE MILLION AT THE TIME.
Our Black Hood's back, and there's gonna be trouble, and w...wait, what are we doing with this one character? Because none of it makes any fucking sense.

Luke Perry has passed away, and that puts this whole episode in a much more morose light than it otherwise would be. Hopefully the insanity that is the Riverdale musical episode(!) will serve to remind us of what is joyous and whimsical in life.

Holy shit, even though this episode might be a bit weaker than those that bookend it, it makes for an action-packed episode of RDARD.
This is because there are TRULY HEINOUS Riverdon'ts, fist-pumping Riverdo's, and both the most Rob-Destroying Weekly Weird yet... and probably the funniest fucking thing that we've ever seen on Riverdale.
Buckle up.

Riverdale's back, baby!
This episode serves as a real wakeup call vis-a-vis what we ought to expect out of our ridiculous trash, and carries with it the merciful feeling that the filler arc (still can't believe that's a thing on a major network in the US) is at an end.

This episode busts out the old soap opera playbook, and that badboy has color-coded post-it notes and well-worn pages by the look of it. There's no contrivance too unbelievable, no trope too over the top as this week's episode pursues its goal with single-minded determination:
The adults in Riverdale must be shown to be just as ridiculous as the kids were last week.

This episode, Riverdale drops the pretense of having a plot for the middle of Season 2, for the most part, and just revels in being as teen trash as it can possibly teen trash. And my god, is this an improvement.
By turns heartwarming, hilarious, and extra as fuck, this episode is what we actually wanted out of this show. Until the end, anyway, when everything goes off the rails and makes no goddamn sense.

This is very much an episode of two parts. On one hand, Riverdale calms the fuck down and actually focuses on advancing plotlines instead of just adding more nonsense that may or may not ever be seen or referenced again. On the other hand, Riverdale pulls a Machiavellian manipulation of audience expectations so incredibly devious that all three of your humble hosts are totally certain it was mostly by accident.
Also, we are joined by a special guest, a very vociferous Shiba Inu with strong opinions about people coming to my door.

We are pleased to present you with discussion covering an extremely puzzling episode of Riverdale. This thing is so very extra in so many ways, and at such odds with itself tonally, that none of us really know whether it's horrible or excellent. All we know is that we were captivated by the strangeness, like small, deep-ocean shrimp about to be eaten by an anglerfish.
Anyway, please enjoy this Martin Scorsese fanfiction about regional food specialty-themed crime bosses.

This week, we continue the Riverdale Filler Extravaganza with an episode about wrestling, and an ostensible super villain gleefully belittling the masculinity of a literal teenager. We do a bit of stuff with Chic, but it's looking like while we're going somewhere with this, it's nowhere good.
Oh, and we do a big ol' Simpsons reference like that's clever or means something.
RAM TOUGH.
