Why does every show have a jazz number? We've got a new Mad Dog physique contender coming in hot, but that high note gets overshadowed by some really...icky family vibes. This goo demon acting like the coronavirus the way it gets spread around. Music: Tyler Herro - Jack Harlow

No Locked Doors in This House (Wynonna Earp S2 E3)

January 12, 2021 19:17 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MB

Hello, fellow Gunters! Welcome to our discussion of anything other than Ready Player Two. There's a lot of obsession with what's up cheerleader's skirts in this episode. Thank god we break from that inappropriate moment for Wynonna to beat up some children. Music: Your Gravest Words - The Lawrence Arms

*Gulp* Spooky Action (Wynonna Earp S2 E2)

November 26, 2020 20:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

A real quick-hitter here, folks. This episode was a narrative exercise in running in place, so we talk about Medea, police clearance rates, and don't even do a synchronized howl when we discuss the lesbian sex scene. Music: Spooky Action at a Distance - Iron Chic

Kristen Bell but Better? (Wynonna Earp S2 E1)

November 19, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 59 MB

Cut the Bagels All the Way (Season 4 Preview)

November 16, 2020 20:00 - 25 minutes - 22.9 MB

We just spent last episode ragging on Wynonna Earp's season 1 finale. Would we be fool enough to commit to watching more? What do you take us for, not-idiots? Music: Web in Front - Archers of Loaf

Reasoning with an Angry Mob (Wynonna Earp S1 E13)

November 14, 2020 21:23 - 1 hour - 67.6 MB

Well, we really didn't like this season finale. We didn't get a full lizard transformation or anything, there were too many bulletproof vests, and then snake monsters appeared out of nowhere. Somebody better be dead. Music: After the Party - The Menzingers

Pro Vaginal Branding (Wynonna Earp S1 E12)

October 08, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 57 MB

So, we all hate Willa as a character and want to see her torn apart by wild horses tied to each of her limbs. Besides that sentiment, we mostly discuss sex cults, Herman Melville, and Jackie Chan/Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicles. Music: "Breathe Grease" - Municipal Waste

Blood is the Thing I Love (Wynonna Earp S1 E11)

September 24, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 69.3 MB

Live Spit-Takes (Wynonna Earp S1 E10)

September 17, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MB

We are the smartest podcast in the world. Between the bird puns, bear puns, zoology, Navajo Nation geography, and knowledge of Greek architecture, we pretty much cover it all. Thank god there's a bear attack in this episode of Wynonna Earp. It's been ages since we covered a good mauling. Music: "Bore Me" - The Hellacopters

The Hank Williams Rating System (Wynonna Earp S1 E9)

September 10, 2020 19:00 - 57 minutes - 52.9 MB

All we want is to see hot chicks kiss because we are a very reserved and mature podcast. Unfortunately, this episode also had some other plot with summoned beasts and burying witches. We really take the discourse to new depths. Music: "Hollywood Factory" - Skating Polly

Overrated Serial Killers (Wynonna Earp S1 E8)

September 03, 2020 19:00 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MB

Ever wonder what we'd do if we ran into a really good episode of a TV show? Of course we'll still nitpick it, talk about Shakespeare's biceps, and provide facts about Alberta's meat processing industry. Music: "Potemkin City Limits" - Propagandhi

Blue Collar Revenant Tour (Wynonna Earp S1 E7)

August 27, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MB

We discuss the fox POV moment in Lord of the Rings, Larry the Cable Guy's ouvre, and the tragedy of backgammon. Also, we watched an episode of Wynonna Earp and Doc Holliday isn't hot, but this was a rip snortin' good episode. Music: "(I Feel Like)(Gerry) Cheevers" - Chixdiggit

The Holy Champmunks (Wynonna Earp S1 E6)

August 24, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 61.9 MB

The monumental breakup of Champ and Waverly is here, but is it what we really wanted? There are cannibals, and we're pretty sure Agent Dolls is transforming into a Mexican Beaded Lizard. This show never explains anything to us, so we're left to speculate. Music: "Pristine" by Snail Mail

Rack Zoom (Wynonna Earp S1 E5)

August 06, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MB

Three Gentiles discussin' student film, inexplicable dreams, and probably the worst episode of Wynonna Earp yet. Oh well, at least a lot of people die. Music: "Compendium" by Elder

A Bearskin for Every Occasion (Wynonna Earp S1 E4)

July 30, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 68.8 MB

There's a porpoise barber leaping from the water like free willy in this episode, but we mostly discuss the cinematic masterpiece of Van Helsing (2004) and Nicki Minaj's prosecco. Music: "Internal Eyes" by Heartsounds

Top Ten Anime Nosebleeds (Wynonna Earp S1 E3)

June 25, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 64.2 MB

We discuss Canada's robust policy of horse murder, Dane Cook, and also I guess we talk about the show we're watching. New format, no format. No gods, no masters.

Half-Naked Meet-Cute (Wynonna Earp S1 E2)

June 18, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 71.1 MB

How does any of this work? We're entirely baffled by intricacies of Wynonna Earp and much more concerned with destructible throat anatomy and how to date bartenders without them knowing.

A Teacup of Whiskey (Wynonna Earp S1 E1)

June 11, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MB

We dive into episode 1 of Wynonna Earp! We don't hate any of the characters yet, except for Champ. We definitely hate Champ. We want him to get tossed into a lake.

Season 3 TV Show Reveal

June 08, 2020 19:00 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MB

Now that we've left Riverdale behind, we're embarking on an episode-by-episode adventure into a new show. This one has way more gunplay, a strong female lead, and most importantly is not Riverdale.

Practical Magic (1998)

June 04, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 68.4 MB

Harmony returns to the Gritty Reboot world! Following last week's debate, we mix up a batch of midnight margaritas and worship each other like bats as we discuss the joys of the Sandra Bullock/Nicole Kidman supernatural romance, Practical Magic.

The Craft (1996)

May 28, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 59.7 MB

It's our first feature film review! We knock back a few beers and argue over whether The Craft is a fun supernatural flick or a slow train ride to hell. Does anything meaningful happen? Do the snake fingers make up for the flaws?

Riverdale Finale

May 21, 2020 19:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MB

We couldn't take it anymore! We jumped ship on Riverdale, but we need closure. Who is the Gargoyle King? Whose organs get harvested? Does anyone ever explain why those babies leviated over a bonfire? We answer all that and more when we close the book on Riverdale forever.

QuaranTeens (Riverdale S3 E9)

May 14, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MB

Is this it for Riverdale? Archie gets mauled by an invisible bear and we lose our cool at the sheer stupidity of this show. Mutiny reaches a breaking point in the Gritty Reboot ranks when we question if we can keep watching this trainwreck.

Lots o' Torture (Riverdale S3 E8)

May 07, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

We're so glad we could get a break from quarantine in real life with...oh no Riverdale is under quarantine too. This time, Riverdale has changed.

Farm to Tabletop (Riverdale S3 E7)

April 30, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MB

We try really hard to become friends with Lili Reinhart in this episode. Really, we praise her performance. Everyone else on this show? Yeah, it's Riverdale so they pretty much sucked.

Thank U, Next (Riverdale S3 E6)

April 23, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MB

Disagreement in the ranks when Hunter enjoys this episode of Riverdale way more than Kevin and Sarah. Pros: there's a massive body count. Cons: it's Riverdale so it's completely stupid and illogical.

A Mad Dog is a Boy's Best Friend (Riverdale S3 E5)

April 16, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 66.6 MB

Mad Dog is back and we're all officially in love with him. Host Kevin (not Riverdale Kevin) gets sucked into G&G and it may cost him his livelihood and relationships, but it's worth it if he can ascend.

Saved by the Riverbell (Riverdale S3 E4)

April 09, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 69.4 MB

We go back in time to the 1980-90s where nothing makes sense, candy is drugs, and everyone is their own parents in a thrilling time paradox.

Blue Lips Sink Ships (Riverdale S3 E3)

April 02, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 86.3 MB

Take a nice, long elevator ride with the Gargoyle King as we discuss Archie's sudden fighting prowess and rejoice over the fact that Betty and Jughead have definitely banged.

Jailhouse Crock (Riverdale S3 E2)

March 26, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 88.7 MB

We meet our new favorite character when Archie gets settling into prison. Can you guess whether Hunter or Sarah has a bigger crush on this hard slab of manbody known as Mad Dog?

Floating Fire Babies (Riverdale S3 E1)

March 19, 2020 19:00 - 1 hour - 85.2 MB

So, we skipped a season of Riverdale and now Archie's in prison, the show's set in the deep south, and the sharecroppers are coming out in droves. My God, we chose wisely.

Mamba No. 5 (Riverdale S1 E5)

January 02, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 74.2 MB

We've got a musical number of our own and it's more original than 90% of Josie and the Pussycats songs. Also, Archie sucks at football.
