Riverdale 4x05 - “Chapter Sixty-Two: Witness for the Prosecution”

Feat guests: Rosalie and Tara

The keyword for this episode is THERAPY — whether we’re talking about an MIA Cheryl/Toni who we’re still very concerned about, repressed memories revealing that Betty’s serial killer dad tried to groom her to be violent from an early age, or FP’s own unresolved daddy trauma that Jughead’s research about Grandpa Jones brings up. We admire a very badass Veronica (Luna) as she contends with Governor Corrrupt-ass Dooley to free Hermione and meets her foe in Hermosa (Lodge), the mysterious half-sibling who foils Veronica’s plan to keep Hiram in prison. Oh, and we cannot get ENOUGH of the El Royale merch Archie somehow had made between teaching kids to box/going to school?? by day and fighting crime as a superhero by night.

With the return of the ~annoying~ serial killer gene plotline, we referred to an excellent article from Refinery29 published on May 9, 2019: “The Serial Killer Gene on Riverdale, Explained” by Cory Stieg.

A message from Rebecca, who is taking a step back from the podcast for the foreseeable future:
“I want to start off saying how much fun this experience has been for me and how I want to ultimately figure a way to be able to play a role again in the future. I am in grad school now and my program is just overwhelming me. I'm also just a person so sometimes life gets to me too. I want to be able to be the best podcast co-host to my dear friend Maria, and to those who listen! Right now, I just have to take some time for myself and focus on school. I will be back! Because I need to know who that damn Twiggy-Smalls is and I have too many bodysuits now for my own good! Thanks to Maria! Thanks to RAS! Thanks to Bughead! XOXO Rebecca.”
