In the Mood for Chaos: A Riverdale Roasting and Recap Podcast
TV & Film:TV Reviews
20 whole epi...chapters. 20 chapters of this godforsaken show. To celebrate, they've decided to completely change the genre on us without any warning and make this episode an anthology.
Jughead is called on to deliver "pancake mix" even though according to a few episodes ago the Serpents don't deal in "pancake mix". Along the way, he hitches a ride with a guy who tells us about, wait for it...The Riverdale Reaper. Also Archie's sort of there too and pays for dinner or whatever.
On the plus side, we hear more from Josie, but on the ever-weightier minus side, she's being stalked and manipulated, and also Chuck is back? We get a Cheryl reveal that sends smoke shooting out of Miranda's ears too.
Then Betty and Veronica do some snooping - read: seriously overstep boundaries and Sheriff Dad cuts them way too much slack because they're his son's only friends. He also gets off a sick burn on Archie, making him the MVP of this episode. Go, Sheriff Dad!
Evelyn has a hot take on why Riverdale exists, and makes an excellent metaphor about a dishcloth. Miranda finds new ways to be angry at Jughead, and tries to transplant Riverdale onto the Pepe Silvia meme. Both exhausted by the style changes, and character inconsistency, Evelyn imparts words of nihilistic wisdom: "We have no arcs in Riverdale. We only have vague fluctuations."
