Basic Teen TV: Dawson's Creek Rewatch
50 episodes - English - Latest episode: 26 days ago - ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsIf you're a child of the 90's then you might remember shows like "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," "Felicity," "My So-Called Life," and "Dawson's Creek" to name a few. This show will attempt to revive those glorious or maybe not-so-glorious teenage feels with in-depth conversations about Dawson's hair, high-school parties and why doesn't anyone remember that "My So-Called Life" was only on the air for one season? We'll be drinking a little wine, a little vodka, and engaging in fully coherent conversation about all of this and much more. The first show up is Dawson's Creek! We hope you enjoy!

Episodes
Hot and Cold Relationships
April 01, 2024 12:00 - 41 minutes - 38.3 MBSo we ARE back to regularly scheduled programming and three distinct storylines are happening in this episode. But the major takeaway is that some relationships are heating up while others may be cooling off. Guesses on who’s getting hot and who’s feeling a chill!!
Don't Be a Hero, Joey
March 25, 2024 14:00 - 47 minutes - 44 MBThe DC writers were on some shit while writing this crazy, insane, batt-shit crazy episode. Joey gets robbed for 30-45 minutes, the robber gets run down by a hit-and-run driver and his whole family seems to be a reflection of Joey’s life. Like what was this episode?
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
March 18, 2024 13:00 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBThe whole gang comes together in this episode, “Guerrilla Filmmaking.” We are filming Oliver’s terrible film with Dawson at the helm as the film’s director. Jen is getting her feathers ruffled with Charlie on set as the lead actor and Audrey is feeling guilty over her feelings for Pacey. And to be honest, the best thing to come out of this episode is we are finally getting what we all want - Audrey and Pacey
A Wilder Dry Hump
March 11, 2024 14:53 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBDawson is ready to go back to school…film school but this time in Boston with the rest of the gang. This means that he and Jen are becoming closer and closer and more and more in love. So in love that Jen is in fear of losing her radio show. Jack is in major trouble with the school and we learn what the frat really thinks of him. And the biggest storyline of all in this episode is Joey and Professor Wilder crossing a gross and huge ethical line.
People Moving In, People Moving Out
March 04, 2024 14:00 - 35 minutes - 31.9 MBPer usual, we struggled a little bit to get through this week’s episode but we somehow got it together…barely. So, in this episode, we discover the many uses for a toothbrush as we watch Jen and Dawson navigate living together for the first time in Grams’s house. Meanwhile, Jack moves into the frat house and realizes that he’s living amongst homophobes. Cyndi thinks Jack should see the silver lining here - Jack’s got a room with an en suite all to himself. And Pacey struggles with whether or...
Things Get "Wild"
February 26, 2024 15:00 - 44 minutes - 39.7 MBI don’t know what Dawson’s Creek means when they say “Something Wild” but things remain pretty tame, at least in our opinion. We spend most of this episode in two locations: at the clubby club with Jen, Audrey…and Charlie and then we're back in Capeside with Jen and Dawson. At the clubby club, we’re privileged to witness some of the most cringe scenes where Charlie hits on Joey, Audrey trying to get some random bro to make out with Joey, and the biggest cringe moment - Joey performing “I Wan...
Blue Balls for Dinner
February 19, 2024 18:27 - 31 minutes - 28 MBIt’s Family Dinner time and like most family dinners there is some drama but to our dismay, there was almost no drama in episode 10, "Appetite for Destruction." At least not as much as we wanted, leaving us with blue balls. Zero satisfaction. Jen and Dawson’s relationship is revealed to everyone, and the awkward family dinner begins. Throughout all of this, Pacey is just trying to make a lovely dinner for everyone while testing out his cooking skills. We would love a listen and follow, a ...
Telling Scary Stories
February 12, 2024 15:57 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBSo this was a buffer-type episode where 3 out of the 5 main characters plus Grams each tell a scary story. So this episode of Basic Teen TV didn’t have much drama to go over. But out of these 4 scary stories, Joey’s scary story was probably the most relatable. As women, we are always on alert during the night night time hours. And because this was a fluff episode, we decided to tell you our own scary stories. Hope y’all don’t get too scared!
Everyone's Trying to Bang
January 29, 2024 15:00 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MBOk, Dawson’s Creek is back with a drama-filled episode. Thanks gawds! So Jack is testing out what it would be like to be a pimp but instead is proving to be a real douche canoe. Pacey is sneakily trying to date server Karen but it completely backfires on him. And the thing we’ve all been waiting on for the past 4 and half seasons...the final main character on the show to finally give up his most precious gift - Dawson finally has sex! And SPOILER ALERT: He bangs Jen Lindley!!! Survey quest...
Yeah, It Was Boring
January 22, 2024 15:13 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBWell, this episode of Dawson's Creek wasn’t any fun at all. We struggle with this one and with that, I struggle to write a synopsis for this episode. LOL! I guess a little bit of drama is that Jen and Dawson are becoming closer through therapy. She’s been there and done that and now she’s helping Dawson navigate his way through it. Pacey feels the need to be a knight in shining armor and save Karen from herself. And Joey is just figuring out her way through the Rose Lazar project with not-...
It's His Creek & We're All Just Swimming in It
January 15, 2024 19:21 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MBDawson goes to therapy and Victoria’s like “Finally!” But he has to go to Boston for therapy because there are only 2 therapists in all of New England. However, instead of going to therapy, he goes to the frat house with Jack and gets hammer time and the party continues on the boat that Pacey’s living on. Dawson avoids all of his feelings regarding his dad and drinks himself into oblivion. To Cyndi, this means he is truly becoming a man. But the real juice from this episode is Jen’s plot to ...
Where's the Brie?
January 08, 2024 14:39 - 54 minutes - 46.2 MBSo while we may be a little confused by the title of this episode we’ve got a lot of important items to discuss. Cyndi has major beef with the agenda that Dawson’s Creek is trying to force onto us that Professor Wilder is a hottie. Dawson is cracking a little bit because he’s not dealing with his father’s death. Jack is distracted by the fraternity and Toby & Jen are pissed about it. We get a lovely display of gaslighting from Charlie when his and Jen’s relationship hits a bit of tension but...
Death by Ice Cream
January 01, 2024 15:49 - 33 minutes - 31 MBToday’s episode is a slightly sad one because Mitch is dead y’all….death by ice cream. We cannot believe the writers would send Mitch out like that. So now we are left to discuss how his death has affected those closest to Mitch. And for the first time in Basic Teen TV history, Victoria and Cyndi got choked up with a lump in their throats. We did get through this episode pretty quickly and therefore proceed to talk about the plot holes that Cyndi and Victoria will never get over.
"Give Me the Beat Boys and Free My Soul"
December 25, 2023 15:34 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBDawson’s existential crisis has spilled over into episode 3 as he finds himself “adrift in a sea of uncertainty.” Ugh, gross! In the meantime, Joey finds out that Pacey has been in the town this whole time and never once wanted to see her. Joey's like, "How can this be? I'm Joey f*cking Potter!" Jack is taking a huge leap by helping Sig Ep check off a diversity box and Jen is wondering if Charlie is illiterate. Also, what would you do if you accidentally chucked your scoop of ice cream onto ...
There's Something About Joey
December 18, 2023 15:59 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MBSo the Dawson and Joey saga continues and we are so over it. I mean, we’ve been over it for a while. However, we get more of Audrey as she befriends Dawson in episode 2. Jen and Charlie are starting a little sumthin' sumthin'. Pacey has been in Boston this whole time but he’s hiding out from Joey. And what we are all wondering is…what is the big deal with Joey?!?!
We're All About Hand Stuff...in College
December 11, 2023 15:00 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MBYour favorite girls are back! We are slowly but surely getting through Dawson’s Creek and we’re getting into Season 5. The whole gang, well maybe not the whole gang, but we're are in college now. Of course, Joey is at the “smart” school, Jen and Jack are at the “party” school, and Dawson is in Cali at USC (University of Southern California, NOT University of South Carolina). One bright shiny, positive is that Busy Philipps has joined the cast and she is truly a breath of fresh air! Che...
The Gang is Breaking Up OR Are They?
November 07, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 69.2 MBWe've done it! We've reached the end of season 4 and the gang is getting ready to go their separate ways. Unfortunately, there is a call back to the season finale of season 1 and we are left wondering about the status of Dawson and Joey. On another note, I want to say thank you again for listening to my message at the beginning of this episode about my high-school classmate who is battling back against Lupus. Here is the link to her GoFundMe page: Nono "Cynthia" Osuji's Fight for Life Fu...
Trying to Remember Prom
October 31, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 80 MBSeason 4 is almost over and there are some big changes and revelations coming to the surface: A new baby and Mitch not really loving it, a couple of hugh break ups, a new couple forming. And all we're trying to do is remember our own Proms. Where was it exactly? Was there a limo? Did we dance? Did we even go?
Permanent State of Turtling
October 24, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBYou just really have to listen to this week's episode to truly understand the meaning of this episode's title but it turned into a running theme. But anyway, this week some big secrets are revealed. Joey comes clean with Dawson about losing her virginity to Pacey and what really happened that brought Jen to Capeside? Oh and more about college...people get acceptance letters and stuff...boooring!
It FINALLY Happened
October 17, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 84.2 MBPacey and Joey boned! Ugh, finally! This has been a long time coming and probably the longest any Capeside couple has ever waited to finally have sex. Now Dawson is the lone virgin in Capeside. This was the juiciest part of this week's episode of Basic Teen TV with some other less interesting stories sprinkled in here and there. And oh yeah...Joey, after finally having sex with her boyfriend, Pacey, is still a major queen B!!! Why?!?!
The Tao's and The Te's
October 10, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 87.2 MBEpisodes 10, 11 and 12 of Dawson's Creek were all about relationships: Dawson and Gretchen's growing relationship, Pacey and his disfunctional family relationships and as always...Joey and Pacey's relationship. Oh and a major consistent opinion is that Joey is still and will probably always be a b*tch.
All The Beef
October 03, 2022 11:57 - 1 hour - 79.7 MBThere is so much beef brought up in these three episodes (ep. 7-9 of Season 4) and many attempts to squash all that beef. Can this fractured group ever come back together and heal?? Will all of them ever be friends again??? We sure hope so! LOL!
College, College, College and Some Ecstacy
September 26, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 87.6 MBSo a lot of anxieties were brought to the surface in these episodes because the gang is apply to college. We discuss a very timely issue in abortion, women's and LGBTQ rights. But there was also a lot of leaning into joy with a classic high-school party, a corporate Halloween Party...or was it a rave? And a certain uptight someone really leans into joy by experimenting with ecstacy.
The Gang is Back Together OR Are They?
September 19, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 75.6 MBHere it is...the moment you've all been waiting for...Basic Teen TV is back with our next installment. We are on to season 4 of Dawson's Creek. The biggest questions on our minds are what will Capeside be like with the return of Pacey and Joey and will the DC crew even care? Thankfully there was an episode that tests the true limits of everyone's friendship.
So PUMPED to be Back!
September 14, 2022 12:00 - 6 minutes - 5.43 MBIt's been so long that Victoria and Cyndi couldn't even remembered what happened at the end of season 3 of Dawson's Creek. I get it. As it has become our modus operandi it's taken us more than a year to come back with fresh episodes. So get ready...Basic Teen TV talks about season 4 of everyone's favorite teen TV drama - Dawson's Creek!
The One with the Meme
July 26, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBWe finally made it! We made through all of season three. Just like seeing a celebrity on the street or riding a roller coaster, the moment we've all be waiting for happened where we witnessed the Dawson Leery ugly cry meme! And despite our feelings about Joey we are happy with how things turned out. #TeamPACEY!!! We'll be taking a break, hopefully not as long as last time, but we will definitely be back with season 4! Don't forget about us! Instagram: @basicteentv Website: BasicTeenTVP...
James Vanderpeen
July 19, 2021 12:58 - 1 hour - 82.1 MBOur special guest throws down some excellent puns not to be missed! But one by one, each of these characters are showing their true shitty side. This time it's Dawson. I am now beginning to understand why all of my friends were #TeamPacey back in high-school. In this episode we're talking about the love triangle that is Pacey, Joey and Dawson. Joey should choose Pacey but her gross loyalty to Dawson may ruin that. Meanwhile, we see the strange ripple effect it has on the rest of the Capes...
Joey Fucking Sucks
July 12, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 73.3 MBThis episode of Basic Teen TV was recorded shortly after January 6, 2021. We only mention it in passing in this episode but if you don't understand the importance or relevance...um, how could you not? But just Google it. Anyway, the three episodes we discuss deal a lot with Joey who is Cyndi's favorite person to talk about. She just LOVES Joey! And the moment I have been waiting for happens and the fabric of the universe surrounding Dawson, Pacey and Joey is in danger of being ripped to shre...
Shitty Aurora Borealis, Lame Golf Course Parties, & Some WWE-style Action
July 05, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 88 MBWe're about halfway through Season 3 and relationships in Capeside are a-changing. And the backdrop to these changes are some shitty stock footage of the Aurora Borealis, a golf course, and a culturally appropriated mural. On the upside, the character of Dawson Leery seems to be taking a backseat to much of the drama.
"Love is the Hardest of Woods"
June 28, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 83 MBWhile these next three episodes might be another snoozer, you'll want to listen all the way to the end because someone lint rolls a very interesting place on their body. Just kidding! Well sort of... Much of the gang is working through some very personal dilemmas and issues and Dawson is still being the same old Dawson. We wonder why he is considered the main character of this show. Find us on Instagram: @basicteentv Check out our website: Basic Teen TV Podcast
Did Jen Actually Fart?
June 21, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBSo these next episodes were a tiny bit more exciting. The show has done another marvelous rip-off...this time of The Blair Witch Project but we all agree that the episodes that kind of take the gang out of the usual drama are always more fun. One of the big questions comes out of the Thanksgiving Day episode - did Jen fart or was it a Pacey boner??? Jack is still struggling with this sexuality and what it means to be a gay man out in the world. And the foursome of Jen, Pacey, Joey and Dawson...
Booooooring!
June 14, 2021 11:33 - 1 hour - 85.1 MBWe kind of found these next three episodes to be a snooze-fest. Each member of the Capeside gang is dealing with their own personal drama. Jack struggles with putting his life out on display with Dawson's documentary, Andi is worried that she's going to found guilty of cheating on the PSAT's, poor Joey has to put up with her horrible boss at the gas station for boats, Henry is given a bigger role and is crushing hard on Jen, and EVE!!! Eve is back and her story was the biggest plot twist to ...
The Fever Dream Part 3
June 09, 2021 12:00 - 52 minutes - 44.9 MBAnd here is the final installment of The Fever Dream. There is major drama surrounding the PSAT's and we just do not get it but Eve is definitely the one stirring the pot here.
The Fever Dream Part 2
June 08, 2021 12:00 - 52 minutes - 44.2 MBWe quickly follow up with the second episode and continue on with The Fever Dream. Strippers are still in our lives, Joey doesn't know how to deal with this while also dealing with a manager who is an HR nightmare, and Andi comes homes from her time in the mental institution, Jen is on the cheerleading squad and Jack joins the Capeside Minutemen football team.
The Fever Dream Part 1
June 07, 2021 12:00 - 53 minutes - 44.8 MBMe and the girls are back talking about Season 3 of Dawson's Creek and in the words of Cyndi, these first three episodes were a doozy! It was an insane shit show!
The Coronavirus Recordings Part 2
July 14, 2020 12:35 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBBut seriously this time, we've made it to the end of Season 2 thankfully all of us in one piece. One thing that remains true and will probably remain true throughout all of this is that the three of us will continue to use the incorrect name when we talk about any one of our 5 major characters and also mix them up. Say Joey when we mean Pacey, or say Jen when we mean Joey, etc, etc, etc! Ok, so here is Part 2 of the "Coronavirus Recordings." Again, in this 2-parter we are discussing the fi...
The Coronavirus Recordings Part 1
July 13, 2020 14:20 - 56 minutes - 47.3 MBWe've made it to the end of Season 2 thankfully all of us in one piece. And our world is going through some stuff right now, one of them being a pandemic which has separated us but we still came together, socially distanced, for Basic Teen TV! We all need a little lighthearted break, right? Hopefully we provide that for you here! So here is Part 1 of what I've called the "Coronavirus Recordings." In this 2-parter we are discussing the final 4 episodes: 1. Ep. 19 "Rest in Peace" 2. Ep. ...
Shit Gets Real
July 06, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBWe are in the home stretch of Season 2 of Dawson's Creek and shit is getting real. To the three of us, these episodes feel like the most serious episodes where the things get pretty heavy for most of the characters in Capeside. Jack is working on coming out to the rest of Capeside, Joey and Jack try to navigate their new relationship, Andie is off her meds, meanwhile Dawson just seems to be in a constant state of existential crisis. But it gets even more real when someone dies! But who is i...
He's Gaaaaaaaay! Yay!
June 29, 2020 12:07 - 1 hour - 62.1 MBIt is a huge coincidence that as we release this episode we are still in Pride month. While episode 13 felt like a fluff episode, the next two episodes we discuss this week are steeped in the topic of homosexuality as one of the major characters, Jack comes out and admits to everyone that he is gay. While we make light of things we should be more sensitive to, we are strong allies with the LGBTQ community. Celebrating Pride doesn't end in June, it keeps going always and forever. Or at least ...
1-800-Red-Roof
June 22, 2020 12:52 - 1 hour - 74.7 MBThe premise of this podcast is altering a bit because one of your hosts, Melissa, really can't remember this show like she thought she would. But it has been over 20 years... So we have a two-parter in episodes 10 and 11 where the story carries on from one to the other which makes sense because it's all about SEX! And then in episode 12...let's just call this the daddy issues episode. Don't forget: https://www.instagram.com/basicteentv/ And our website: https://www.basicteentvpodcast...
Kegs and Eggs
June 15, 2020 12:51 - 1 hour - 68.5 MBThis is a wild episode with explosions, lots of bleeps, and I start to have concern for Cyndi because she seems to be going to the bathroom a lot. Oh! And we talk about the Capeside drama that goes down in episodes 7, 8, and 9 of season 2 of Dawson's Creek. Yeah, that's in there too! Don't forget you can find us on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/basicteentv/ And check out our website: https://www.basicteentvpodcast.com/
#TeamJack
June 08, 2020 12:00 - 55 minutes - 46 MBPlease welcome Cyndi to the show. A girl who's also never seen Dawson's Creek like Victoria and I'm also not sure if she even actually watched it for this podcast. Just kidding! We are so happy to have Cyndi on as our third host and she is so excited to jump into the Capeside drama. In her words, this podcast is about to get TURNT!
Jen Fucking Sucks
June 01, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MBWe are back in the idyllic town of Capeside where we are quickly introduced to two new characters, Andy and Jack. Dawson's parents try to live in an open marriage. Jen finds a new friendship in mean-girl, Abby. The whole gang plays house for an econ class. And at the end of episode 3 of Dawson's Creek we get a surprise return from someone we thought we'd never see again!
We Are Back!
May 30, 2020 21:19 - 4 minutes - 4.97 MBSo it's been more than a hot minute since our last episode. I mean it's been nearly a whole year but we are finally back. Season 2 of Basic TV = Season 2 of Dawson's Creek. We are headed back to Capeside and Victoria is the most excited about it!
All the CLIFFhangers
July 15, 2019 13:00 - 59 minutes - 49.2 MBWe've made to the end of Season 1! Woohoo! This brings so much joy to Victoria as we close out all of the drama of the Capeside gang but not without some CLIFFhangers. LOL! Thanks guys for listening to this first part of season 1 of Basic Teen TV. We are already working on season 2 of Dawson's Creek so stick with us. We're getting it ready for you as fast as we can! In the meantime, check out our website: basicteentvpodcast.com And also, leave us a review and rating...pretty please!!! ...
#TeamCliff???
July 08, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 74 MBThe drama swirling around Dawson and Jen and Jen's ex-boyfriends/other love interests is starting to wear on Victoria. We're not all to impressed with the way the show handles teen pregnancy. We've discovered a running theme where older women being inserted in the lives of these teenagers. Can somebody say "mommy issues"??? And Cliff may be suffering from temporary amnesia, we're not sure but maybe. And the show takes a slight break from the usual storylines to put the whole gang in a "I Kno...
Which Team Are You On?
July 01, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBThings kind of blow up in Capeside in these next episodes that we discuss. We've got some love triangles going on. Babies are having babies. Dawson continues to be 100% completely oblivious to Joey's feelings for him. And we see if Pacey's "relationship" with Ms. Jacobs is in it for the long haul. Oh, and there's an homage to one of the great John Hughes films.
Penis Pokes and Ball Taps
June 24, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 51.3 MBVictoria and I discuss episodes 3, 4 and 5 in the second episode of Basic Teen TV and there was A LOT to discuss. We get into the state of relationships between Dawson and Jen, Pacey and Ms. Jacobs and Joey, as well, finds herself a romantic stranger. And then a typical plot device brings almost everyone together to air out all of the drama among our cast of characters of Capeside.
#TeamCliff
June 17, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBIn our first episode we are introduced to Dawson, Joey, Pacey and Jen. There were a lot of things I did not remember from these first two episodes and let's be honest from the whole series as you'll find out soon. Also, Victoria was able to quickly defined each character in about 8 words or less. Of course, there was lots of drama because, I mean, how else were the writers and producers going to hook teenagers across the land into the show? DRRRRRRAAAMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Introduction: WELCOME to BASIC TEEN TV
June 03, 2019 03:52 - 4 minutes - 5.94 MBWelcome to Basic Teen TV. In our very first season, we will discuss one of the biggest teen tv dramas of the 90's: Dawson's Creek. It's now been over two decades since it's premier and one of us will be rewatching it again for the first time in 21 years while the other is a grown ass woman watching it for the very first time.
